History of Koskian
Childhood
Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really KNOW the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.
He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.
On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned 12 years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.
Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.
Odd Weapons, for a Jedi
Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many Elders of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were:
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge.
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip.
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.
Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.
Expanding on Traditions
Koskian has taken an unusual turn from his usual methods as of late, taking up the pen more then then blade to help instruct the next generation of Arconans. At the time of this writing he has made no less then three seperate tomes, only one having been released to a number of others in the Clan. He has also been helping on expanding the descriptions of Arconan holdings and attempting to make the Clan's own history more enriched through various historical fiction materials.
Trivia
Koskian has been Quaestor four times now, all of House Galeres.
Koskian has been Battleteam Leader for Soulfire three times.
