Kieran Kodiak Falor

Character Biography

The Early Years

A Life Almost Lost

Kieran had a father once, along time ago, he may even have a mother, but the feeling is still foggy in his mind as this was before consciousness broke in the young infant’s brain. Old enough to identify who his parents where, but not what they were, to him they are a warm distant memory. His father had brought him to Dxun, but had made no more than a few steps before dieing. Clan Kodiak was presented with another orphan of the galaxy, and as they had done they welcomed the small sole in with open arms. The question of why his father had chosen to bring him to Dxun among the elders, a medical examination revealed he had died of a terminal illness, but it perplexed them as to why he had chosen the moon of all the places in the Galaxy. Still, Kieran began his life the adopted son of the clan’s Patriarch.

A New Life A New Friend

He was brought up like any Mandalorian son and began his training. Kieran possessed a natural talent that many of his brothers did not possess. He learnt at an incredible pace and out performed the majority of his brethren, however he was always on par with one individual. Sashar, like Kieran was orphan, and they shared their adoptive father. Fate it seemed, had been smiling down on the pair, and later they would reflect on the involvement of the Force on their meeting.

Kieran and [Sashar] struck up a solid friendship, increased by the bound of brotherhood but still they shared something more, something that their fellow clansmen did not. They entered Super-Commando training together and excelled, rising to meet every challenge. However, dreams plagued his brother, nightmares and stirrings inside him, something which the young Mandalorian could not understand, yet still felt a vague familiarization with it.

A Brush With The Force

Knowing that the answer lay deep in their clouded past, they searched in the Clan’s archives for an answer, their father’s journal seeming the likely place. They read of the Clan meetings, of discussion of the secret nature, it revealed that Sashar had ties with the force. The Elders decided to keep it from him, concerned for his well being and for the clan’s. But now the pair knew their answer and followed one of Sashar’s visions journeying to a planet called Onderon.

Upon entering the temple that was calling to his brother Kieran felt a calming feeling, clarity crossed his mind and he felt more attuned with his body and his surroundings. His thoughts were that he was suddenly being awakened, but they soon turned to fear and worry. Sashar had collapsed into a coma leaving Kieran to drag him out and race back to Dxun.

The reception upon their return was not a warm one. Kieran had returned with one of the clan’s rising stars in a coma. Still, anger fell away to concern which was then lifted by relief. Sashar awoke one month later a changed person. He was distant and seemed distracted, Kieran felt a great guilt having brought his brother to the temple and now to see him fall behind in his training. Deciding to return his brother to the temple turned out for the best, as Sashar emerged strong confident, but with a sinister side to him none had seen before.

His brother soon left to join the Sith, the clan elders deciding it was for the better. Kieran completed his training, and became a man.

The Training

His life entailed continuous cycles of running, shooting, playing war games, learning survival techniques, and learning how to use explosives (an activity he enjoyed most of all). He learnt how plan and execute everything from single raids to a strategic campaign to take a planetary system. The Mandalorian Warrior Heritage was firmly instilled on the young man.

They would often patrol through the moon’s jungle, patrol against patrol but they would always face the Zakkeg and the Drexl (also see [The Drexl]). They would pit it out and the winner taking the glory. Defeat always angered Kieran who had developed quite a competitive streak. His training finished, his armour forged, but moreso he was a free man, now trained as one of Kodiak’s elite and at a moments notice ready to go to war for her. But life seemed boring for Kieran; he desired to fill the empty void the excitement of his training had once filled. He decided to strike out and leave Dxun to join the likes of the famous Boba Fett as a Bounty Hunter.

The Bounty Hunter Years

A Place in the Galaxy

Kieran travelled his way to Corellia to make is way in the Galaxy. The transition from the sheltered society on Dxun to the bustling Core World of Corellia was a strange one for the young man. His eyes were filled with wonders he had never before seen and he felt vacuum in his life begin to fill.

After obtaining his Bounty Hunting license he began his work building a reputation for himself. He started off with what he regarded as menial hunting; collecting over due debts and roughing up people who had offended the wrong person. Corellia became his oyster and his list of clientele grew quickly.

He made his first kill almost by mistake. His mark was the Marketing Director of one of the Corellian Engineering Cororation’s rival firms, the CEC had been angered over the man’s slander campaign and that he had been rumoured to have paid a pirate gang to ambush and destroy cargo shipments in order to damage the CEC’s reputation. Whilst the assassination had not been ordered, Kieran was told merely to rough the character up if necessary dispose of him.

Upon embarking on his career Kieran had known that reputation was everything in the Bounty Hunting world. So when the young Mandalorian found himself standing above four corpses, the Marketing Director and his four bodyguards (having decided not to let Kieran go about his business un-interrupted) he had feared that his career might be over. However Kieran was surprised to find the number of new contracts that were being sent his way.

It appeared that the Corellian sector had a market for his type of character and thus his trade increased. Soon he had amassed a suitable wealth and a reputation to match. He had a modest house on Coronet and was quite enjoying his thrilling line of work.
