- "The heat of roaring flames is cooled by the down pour of darkened rain. That's how it always goes, in my dreams, well more so of my memories. A complicated Journey to get to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where I now stand, surrounded by other apprentices and their masters."
- ―Jade Imperial
The Beginning
Jade Imperial was from a planet that dreamt of life existing beyond their own species, as those that lived with them were not accepting. It was a planet that was full of diversity and riches… in a sense. Their material values were highly different than that of most other planets. The riches that they treasured on their planet (Such as gold) might have been worthless on other planets. There were things that they deemed worthless on their planet (Such as Lint) that may have been worth their weight in gold on others. This made interplanetary travel challenging for Jade, as the other Species and cultures may have held what she needed to use, or seek out when she was hungry.
Teen Years
When Jade was just entering into her teenage years a man had appeared, in what Jade had deemed then, out of thin air. What is now known is that he had been waiting for Jade hidden in a cloak. To this day Jade doesn't remember much about fighting to ward him away. But then again perhaps she had no chance, Jade could see that s.o.b. drugging her or using some sort of stunning device.
When Jade finally awoke, she found herself in a normal room. The room had a bed, a dresser, a desk, and several other items that would usually be found in a room. However, waking up in any strange place gives one the chills and -What Jade used to say back home- the creepy umpalumpa vibe. Not to mention the people she saw. But not knowing where the people came from, and being kidnapped, Jade tried to find an escape. The nearby window was a viable option, but when Jade examined closer, she found that the window was stuck, and that she was also on the third floor of whatever building she was in.
To Jade’s surprise, the door to the room was unlocked. When the door was opened, Jade noticed that the hallway was entirely metal. Recalling her memories, the only things that were similar, were things called submarines (Underwater boats), hidden military bases, or ewers.
As Jade made her way through the hallway, she came upon a fairly tall boy (whom Jade later found out was named Jep) that was a little older than her who was surprised to see Jade out of the room. The boy informed her that his parents were out at the moment, and when asked, said nothing about how to escape. Jade also tried to tell the boy that she thought the boy’s father kidnapped her, but the boy didn’t believe him, only saying that it was impossible.
Imperial continued searching the house for an exit, as she had no intention of remaining while the parents were out. But all in vain, because every door she tried either was, or lead to a supply closet.
After five days or fighting with the people, Jade gave up on everything, escape, finding a reason, even eating. But Jade needed other things to keep her going. And yet, she was one of the lucky ones on her planet. People he knew told myths and legends about having to eat the life force of three adults.
Soon after Jade stopped eating, the family that had her contacted the man that originally stole him (This was unbeknownst to Imperial, as he came as a medic, and Jade never saw his face.) to have him find out what was wrong with her. But he did not do it willingly, for he forced the family to pay him. Jade later “Adopted” this family as her own, and they came to trust her gradually.
The Girl and the Anzati Half-Breed
Jade soon made a friend in this new world whom she came to hang around quite often. This new friend took Jade into the world, and helped her with several things. She helped her learn about the many cultures around there, and showed her where she could hide when the “Troops” came around. Jade later came to know these shiny white armored Cretans as Storm troopers. Every time Jade looks upon a storm trooper, she has to laugh, as she recalls one event where the girl wanted to show her this building that they had to break into. When she did this, she showed Jade the fine art of security code-breaking and entering a quieted building. She did do a good job as no alarms were tripped, but a bystander outside must have seen, because the storm troopers showed up with the intent of stopping the trespassers. The reason Jade laughs is because the troopers told them to freeze, and like any good deviant, they ran. To escape them, Jade and her cohort hid behind boxes, around corners, and finally made their escape by sliding between the legs of the troopers guarding the door, and out into the street.
The girl once took Jade on a space trip. This was new to Jade, and it both excited and scared her. The girl’s father was supposed to be the pilot, whom Jade had never met before because he was usually out somewhere. As the planet they were on got smaller and smaller Jade realized this was more then just an outing to see the world itself, and began to wonder if she had been kidnapped again. Jade was also secretly hoping they were going to take her back to her real home. Keeping her away from the cock pit, Jade got to see out of a front port, if you will, and saw her adoptive family's ship following them. Problem was they weren't following for long, and the S.O.B. pilot shot them down DOA. Jade can still recall the feeling of the hot flames of the ship licking her skin and burning her from the inside-out as she watched the fireball explode and fade back into the blackness of space.
When Jade and the rest of them landed on another planet, the girl explained to Jade that her dad was the man who originally took her from her home planet.
Jade went ballistic, but even more so when the girl told her that it had been a part of the s.o.b.’s plan for them to become friends, but when she confessed everything she admitted that she regretted it. Apparently since they were so close the man decided to take Jade and make her his daughter instead.
Unfortunately for them, Jade wasn’t going to go complacently. The girl was left in the rain with several injuries.
The girl’s dad was not very keen on that, even though his daughter was not injured severely or killed. He swore to gain vengeance on Jade Imperial after that.
Entering the Brotherhood
Jade Imperial
After leaving the girl wounded, Jade wandered aimlessly through the rain hoping to come upon someone whose life force she could feed off. She came upon someone in an alley who beckoned Jade towards him, but she brushed him off and started to walk the other way. But as she turned, she suddenly found herself floating in the air going towards him. Jade made a comment here about him sweeping her off her feet. Anyways, when she was finally close enough to talk over the pounding rain she was back on her own two feet.
Her hair was drenched, clothes soaking through, and the rain landing on her eye lashes made it so her eyes were constantly blinking. She really felt like she needed to evolve and grow some gills! Meanwhile, while she was standing in front of him looking like a drowned rat, he was perfectly dry, as if an invisible umbrella hung over his head. He told her of a group that could teach her how to use her powers to their full potential and learn new tricks. Said he could feel my emotions were high and strong, perfect for learning.
Power, what an alluring concept, he said that he could feel her emotions… Not knowing much of the force at this point, Jade struggled to get free and then ran into the nearest building. When she turned, the man who held her in mid air was gone. Filled with a sense of pride of escaping the man, she started to feel somewhat powerful. She walked outside to see that the rain still suited her mood. She began to wonder if perhaps that the rain was her doing. That when the man spoke of power, he was talking about some inner-power she possessed. When she looked back down the alley that she had just come from, the man was standing there again. His cape fluttering about in the rain, Jade stood there for some time before finally walking over to talk to him again.
The told her all about the group again, pretty much the same spiel as before, but he never told her the name or location of it, or what it really stood for. This made Jade worry that he would take her to some place and end up trying to kill her. Notice how the word “Try” was used here. Jade still had her little secret. In fact her little secret about being a half breed is somewhat hidden from the Dark Brotherhood and should never be discussed outside of this biography.
The man finally convinced Jade to enter the Brotherhood, where she planned on drifting into the unnoticed so she could learn more about the power that was promised to her. But it was not before long that she desired even more power, and obtained a master known as Macron to teach her. So far, she remains there learning about the dark side.
Change of Life
Jade was hidden in solitude throughout her stay in the Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow, but it all changed after one single day. She had been part of the Night Hawks from quite some time and never really paid attention to it, until Ylith took over the Night Hawks. He motivated everyone to get active again and contribute to the Night Hawks and she did as she was told, never more, never less.
One day she got a message from the Quaestor, Ashura Isradia, that she was expected for a mission to Hoth to check up on Vong activity in the region. Jade was accompanied by her battleteam leader Ylith Atema and even though she had her doubts about him, she decided to go along with it. When they arrived on Hoth Jade was suprised to see how much the Battlemaster had weakened in the cold weather. She was fascinated by his species and they startted to talk during the time they were sheltering in the main camp set up for these missions.
He told her his life story and she told him about her past and about her vampiric side and Jade helped him deal with his hypothermia by tending his wounds and keeping him warm. The more time they spent together the more the bond between them grew and Jade found herself drawn to him, and eventually they fell in love.
Proposal
Jade's life changed drastically after she got together with Ylith and she moved in with him in his quarters where she would help him cope with the weight of leadership and where he would teach her the ways within the Brotherhood and how she could advance to a greater rank. Ylith was often away on various missions set out by his Quaestor and Aedile to ensure the safety of House Marka Ragnos and to increase the status of the Night Hawks and when he was away she would often ponder about Ylith's home world Shi and when he was near often asked him how it was back in the days before it's destruction. Jade also made frequent visits to the planet with Ylith in search of relics or just to get away from the Brotherhood and spend some time together.
After Jade learned that Ylith was going on a trip to Shi to stop the Vong from taking the planet she joined him. At first he rejected her but Jade persuaded him with a lightsaber, and with a smile he eventually accepted her help and took Jade with him. When they arrived they found a Vong scout group. Ylith told Jade to stay put and while she stood there her heart was heavy with doubt, she feared something had happened to him and eventually she couldnt bare it any longer and went to search for him. After a while she found him and saw that he was about to be killed by one of the Vong warriors. Jade ignited her saber and ran to save him, but was stabbed in the stomach when she reached the Vong. Ylith's reflexes made it possible for him to stab the Vong with his sword, which went right through it and it's tip anded in Jade's stomach.
Jade passed out and because of the purified metal of Ylith's blade her healing was delayed, and she passed out only to awake on the shuttle they've gotten on. Relief was found in Ylith eyes and in a vow never to hurt her again he proposed to her, and Jade accepted.
Betrayal
Jade and Ylith were engaged and all was right. They lived together in his quarters and startted planning their wedding. But Jade's past still haunted her and when Ylith persuaded her to tell him what happened he was determined to help her get rid of the Bounty Hunter who was searching for her and planned a way to lure him to Mos Eisley, or what was left of it, and kill him. However, Jade was afraid, she didnt want her fiancee involved in the happenings from her past and divised a plan to leave the Brotherhood and Ylith behind, even it would break her own heart in the progress.
Her fiancee however had learned of her plan and divised his own plan to keep her at bay and strike a wound into the Bounty Hunter far deeper than he had first in mind. So when Jade travelled with Ylith to Tatooine she found herself bound to her chair, not able to move. Ylith told her he wanted the money that was offered to capture her in order to rebuild part of the planet of Shi, his homeworld, and would turn her in. Shocked by this betrayal Jade locked herself up within her mind and when Ylith made his move and killed one of the Bounty Hunters and disabled their ship with his lightsaber it was too late, Jade's spirit was locked and her memories were gone.
Ylith took Jade back to Ragnos Cathedral and explained everything that happened. He was filled with guilt and agony and Jade couldnt remember anything, just feelings and emotions that dawned to her subconsciously, like her engagementring and her feelings for Ylith. It was not untill Jade took hold of Ylith's cursed Medusa sword that all her memories came back to her and when they did she unlocked the curse within the Medusa blade, and Ylith had to break it in order to prevent it from happening. Jade knew everything now, even what Ylith had done and she was relieved that she was still with him and in the Brotherhood and she was given the Medusa blade, as a reminder of her strength and as a gift from her fiancee to protect hetself.
Jade asked Ylith what he had done with the credits he received from the Bounty Hunter and told her he left it on Tatooine and forgot about it. Jade was furious and before she could even release her anger at her fiancee she was suprised to see a necklace in his hands for her. The Darkened Stone she called it and it's jewel was made by a shard from Ylith's prized Valheru Sword of Darkness, treated with alchemy to give it the looks of a Jewel. Jade forgive Ylith and she still wears the necklace this very day.
Marriage
The Marriage took place within the meadow, the same place where Draken used to spend his time with Morwiën. The place was decorated with a white gateway, covered in black roses where the couple would stand in. Ashura Isradia, who was present to preform the wedding, stood in front of them, with the waterfall behind him. There were only two guests present during the wedding, Ylith's twin brother Tyren Atema and Ylith's Master in the Dark Arts and Seneschal Xia Long. There they took hands and Ashura bound them in marriage, using words from his own homeworld.
And from that day forth Ylith swore to protect her and keep her safe from harm as much as he could. He is a cold and ruthless warrior at heart but only for Jade did he allow himself to feel emotion and love. It was only her voice that would be allowed to hold him back should he ever be enraged. On that day he vowed his life to her, and she promised to take care of him and love him forever and to stay with him whatever happens, also to announce that she was with child.
Heir to the Valheru Bloodline
Jade's pregnancy wasnt an easy one and full on complications. Due to her half human and half vampiric physique combined with the fact that the child she carried also was half Valheru made things even worse. Though her human half didnt make things bad and even helped, it was her darker side that made the complications, as they lived in generations, where if they give birth they will die so that the next generation may live.
Also, with the half-Valheru being cold blooded, growing within a warm blooded host was also very painfull, which made it move a lot and made Jade more sick than healthy. She had a rough time, only the force helping her bear with the pregnancy as the child grew within her, and after nine months she went into labor.
During that time the Valheru Battlemaster tried hard to search for a cure and he did find it through modern science. A team of medical surgeons hired by the Dlarit Corperation were brough to the Marakith Skyhook, where they operated on Jade for almost 24 hours trying to get the baby from her and stop her inherited genes from killing off her body at the release. After a few heartstops the surgreons managed the impossible and allowed her to survive, giving birth to a healthy son, Aragan Atema.
The Sword of Ragnos
Upon the acceptance of the Night Hawks Battle Team Leader position Jade was also given the title of Sword of Ragnos. An honor she never saw coming, but one she saw as fitting her personality. The Sword said to take lead in the battlefield or to take what is needed while in covers of the shadows with tact and finesse. Used in finding lost or stolen artifacts of the house, something she always took pleasure in, however she hadn’t expected the ceremony to be so…involved.
Walking into the halls and finding the place of ceremony had been one of excitement and dread, being told to bend own, her upper robes removed as prayer after prayer was etched into her skin. The ceremony had lasted for hours; it was the only thing that had kept her skin from healing for sometime after. She knew the marks wouldn’t stay but she would always remember the pain and the vows she had taken. And just when she thought it was over, and put her upper robes back on she was placed on a pad made of iron spikes and barbs. The metal digging into her flesh and muscle had been searing, bringing as her body tried to heal the wounds immediately, only to move and feel the pain of re-puncturing again. Finally after fully giving into the ceremony she was freed from the barbed mat. Weakened from the experience she just barely managed to stand but used all her grace to bow and accept her position and the items from it.
The Path to the dark side
After a huge fight with her husband Ylith, which left both her heart and her body broken, Tyren helped her to escape Marakith Skyhook. He took her to a friend and her mentor, soon to be master, who had new plans in store for her.
The Fire Within
Feeding Jade dreams with revenge, in hopes that her connection to the dark side would grow, Ashura kept close eye over his new apprentice. However in one of her dreams the blad of the sword through her chest had been so real her heart had stopped. Using dark magic, and the fire that deepens his connection to the force Ashura revived the Krath soon to be Sith.
However this had an adverse effect. He had wanted the fire to feed her dark side, to consume her, he just hadn't planned on it working so well. In her furry she had ignited her saber and came after him. Ever mindful of the close quarters on his ship he avoided her attack and used a force to push her back, only it had been more powerful then he had expected and effected the ships computer. Holding onto one another and surrounding themselves with flames they went down with the ship, crashing onto the desolate surface of Korriban.
The Lost connection
The crash and the power used to survive had severed both of their connections to the force. As Jades body healed herself an apparition appeared over Ashura, telling her he was weak and to leave him. To let the spirit into herself to complete her training. Unsure of what was really going on Jade defended her new master, but the spirit only left when Ashura started to stir.
Spirit Rivalry
After using her powers to heal Ashura she was drained and weak, heading into a terrible blood lust that she couldn't fight for long. Going for his neck and taking his fiery blood into hers. As Ashura’s memories began to hit her she saw the spirit once more, and it entered her body during a moment of weakness.
The spirit identified herself as Acra Malish, and immediately began to battle over Jade being her host when she noticed Morwein. Acra was tried of holding onto the plane of the living while not being so herself, and she was not about the lose this new host when they shared so much in common.
But Jade was not giving up so easily. Morwien had become to her like a sister, and Jade wanted to believe her words of hope for the future Jade had always foreseen. But as Jade began to reject Acra, the spirit took control of Jades body, activating her saber and threatening Ashura. Wanting Jade to see the power she could have and hold, in a last ditch effort to consume Jade's mind and body.
Jade’s possessions
The Dark Stone
Jewelry
The Darkened stone
Jade made a plan to go after the Bounty Hunter that was searching for Jade ever since she escaped from him and joined the Brotherhood. She planned to leave the Brotherhood to face this Hunter herself without having her fiancée, Ylith, involved. The Sith learned of her plan and made his own, seeming that he captured her in order to get the credits which he would spend to help rebuild his homeworld Shi. Jade felt betrayed by her beloved and before she could make a move, her fiancée killed one of the Hunter’s henchmen and disabled his ship.
After they returned home and Jade had learned of Ylith’s plan to keep her in the Brotherhood and at his side she forgave him but turned into rage when she found out Ylith had spent the credits on something other than his planet, and he presented her a necklace. This necklace had a jewel on it made from the metals of Ylith’s prized Valheru Sword of Darkness.
Jade wears this necklace ever since he gave it to her, and vowed to never take it off.
Jade's Engagement Ring
Engagement Ring
This ring was given to Jade when Ylith proposed to her. The true origins of the ring itself are unknown but the making and the way the metal is fashioned it is Valheru made. It is said to have been in the possession of Draken's fiancee, who died shortly after he died defending the gates of Erundwyr from a Valkyri invasion.
The Ring itself is fashioned from Silver mixed with various durametals in order to preserve it over time while the stone set within the ring is a purified ruby once found within the mountains of Argonok on the Ashrai continent and was considered to be the rarest gem on Shi.
Weapons
The Medusa Sword
The Medusa
Drawn to the sword and the need to handle it, unaware of her past encounter when she had held it and her dark side took over her and pushing her boundaries to new limits. She waited silently until Ylith was vast asleep. Carefully she walked over to the Medusa sword, Ylith’s sword he created when his spirit was broken by the Vong, and wrapped her hand around the dark hilt. Power flowed into her, a dark mystic power that reminded her of everything, bringing her back to Ylith. However Ylith awoke, dismayed at his fiancées actions. The sword not only bringing back his love but a beast, created by his own dark emotions he forged within the sword, which he tried so hard to keep locked within the blade.
Taking the fallen sword he broke it into pieces, severing the connection before the beast could come out and poison his mind again and he was reunited with his dark emotions. The Medusa, now released from its curse, was given to Jade as a gift, knowing how much she had always admired the dark blade. Using ancient ways of the Force, and Alchemy Jade reformed the blade, adding her own strength and powers into it, so that whenever she wield it, it would add to her strength.
Jade wields this sword this very day and Ylith is teaching her how to wield the weapon and use the powers she poured into the Medusa blade.
"Valheru Sword of Darkness"
Before Yilth perposed to her he gave her a token of his love, a peice of he prized and beloved sword. She had accepted it, knowing how much it had meant to him to give it to her, and how much it meant to her that he gave it to her. She responded by giving him a rare eggs she had found on his homeworld, hoping it would bring him peice. Jade keeps the peice of sword against her heart, protecting her and reminding her of her love for Ylith.
Jade’s Markings
The Silver Rose
After being kidnapped and places with her foster family she was drugged and the family marking of the rose was place on her left shoulder. The tatoo was done in a silver paint making sure her body could not heal the marking. The white rose, and silver stem surrounded by green ivy leaves is the symbol of roylaty on the plant she was thrusted too. Not only is she currently hunted by the daughter of the bounty hunter yilth killed to protect her, but the soliders and people of the planet look for her return. She would be next in line for rule and possess the family fortune, but she choses to stay in the new family she found and the love of her life.
Golden Flecks
After the wedding vows Jade and Yilth had gone into a secret cave, one that use to be sacred to the elders of Draken’s time. As a gift for her husband she took the spirit of Draken’s past love into her. Meaning originally for it only to be a moment to say whatever needed to be said. However neither spirit was content in only having a slight conversation, and she agreed to take Morwein, Draken's past love, and intertwine her within her own spirit. The golden flecks in Jades eyes show the connection to Morwein, but both she and Jade are finding the symbiotic relationship hard.
