{{Quote| “We all chose the path we tread, you just chose the wrong one and now you have my sword to contend with…”| Mune Cinteroph}}
'''Mune Cinteroph''' has long been part of the Imperial Clan, his disappearance for a handful of years notwithstanding; he has distinguished himself well since his return to the ranks of his fellow Palatinaeans. Born on [[Seraph]] in the [[Caperion System]], he is a scholar, calculating thinker and talented swordsman. Before his disappearance, he was a leader within [[Scholae Palatinae]] for [[House Acclivis Draco]]. He took only two apprentices in his time, '''Impetus M'Nar''' and [[Braecen Kaeth]]. The reasons for his disappearance remain his own, though it is rumoured that the Doctor and Empress, [[Elincia Rei]] is aware. He has since left his clan of many years to join [[Arcona]].


[[Krath]] [[Savant]] '''Mune Cinteroph''' has only just returned from places undisclosed, and thusly removed from the list of [[rogues]] to rejoin his former clan, [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. A native from a little known planet not even worth naming, he was previously a key member of the [[Isradia]] Family, a devoted scholar, quick calculating thinker and cunning assassin and graceful swordsman. Before his disappearance, he had been a member of Scholae Palatinae, leading [[House Acclivis Draco]] most notably for a time. He took on only a single student in in his time with the clan, '''Impetus M’Nar'''. His reasons or the how of his disappearance were never divulged, and even upon his return, remain veiled in secrecy.

==== Dark Beginnings ====
=== The Experiment ===
[[File:Excursiongraphics1.png|thumb|left|Force-sensitive canid native to Seraph.]]
==== Snow ====
Mune was born to the prominent and influential scientist Eien Osada and his wife Aimi Cinteroph in [[the United Corporations of Elaya]] in 16 ABY. Eien's experiment began well before his birth and, instead, started upon the conception of his son. Using the funding from the UCE government through Chairman '''Getris Retpay''', and the resources of '''C.A.G.R.A.''' (''Corporation for Advanced Genetic Research and Application'') as operated by Osada Corp., Mune and his mother both were made victim to Osada's twisted experimentation. The few classified files remaining would note the genetic research as attempting to amplify the predatory nature of the Shistavanen by combining their genetics with that of a native, Force-sensitive animal native to Seraph. The experiment failed in the earliest tests and only resulted in Mune's far paler fur colouration, or so it appeared at the time. It may well have been the slightest bit of love for his wife that Eien did not terminate immediately and allowed the infant to live.  
[[image:krma'at.jpg|left|frame|Imie and her three moons.]]
The Imperial era went generally unnoticed on Imie, a planet left alone while the rest of the Felucia System was contested during the Clone Wars . Populated largely by humans, having taken to largely xenophobic outlooks. Traditionalists, slow to adaptation and stubbornly adhering to outmoded ways of thinking.  


Visitors to the planet, by law, could only visit their capital city, Caeles Folor. It was here that the original experiments had begun, led by scientist Orrand Verr, unknown to any but the humans on Imie, and those few “guests” having the privilege having met him. Here, it was always snowing… and a blend of snow and ash were constantly underfoot. The capital was home to government and the sciences alike, and, here too, many an atrocity were born by the ungentle hand of science on Imie.  
The child, however, was given his mother's surname and any inheritance of his father's fortune refused him in the future. Osada Corporation would pass to his elder brother, Seito Osada.  


In 3 ABY, Orrand, at the age of 35, and his young wife, became pregnant with their first and only child. Weak willed, the boy’s mother could not refuse the child to her scientist husband’s wicked machinations. Of course, he was not to be the madman’s only wicked deed, but by far the most shocking, treating his own flesh and blood to genetic manipulations in the womb. It was then by no surprise that the child was born half human with numerous other genetics altering his DNA. These anomalies most notably resulting in canine-like ears, fangs, claws and tail. Papers on the experiments made confidential, like all others on Orrand’s work. He was born Hibiki Verr.
At the age of two(2), Mune was removed from his home and put into the care of his Aunt, Kiho Osada, when his mother had fallen ill. He was not made to feel welcome; rather, he was treated as a black mark upon the family name and rodent to be removed. So regular was the abuse that he even began to see himself as the oddity and animal his family made him out to be.


Orrand, unhappy with the results of his scheming, chose to discard his own progeny as a failed project of science. It was only for his wife that the boy was not discarded; to be thrown into the laboratories wicked furnaces and made ash on the streets.
Unbeknownst to him, his mother was on her way to a full recovery. His father had no intentions, however, of reuniting them. It was evening, and Mune was amusing himself as he did in his aunt's conservatory when flame engulfed the garden. The fragrance of flowers that perfumed the air became that of smoke and ash. No one saved him; instead, he saved himself. The Force responded to him and, through it, removed himself from the flames. What should have been a turning point became the true beginning of his torment. Seeing an opportunity in that power, his father began experimenting in earnest to uncover the secrets of those abilities. It was a power that was weaker in his older brother than in himself.  


==== Unwanted ====
Mune went through unspeakable torture. Mune’s brother became a complete sociopath due to what he went through, Mune suffered severe night terrors, claustrophobia, and further mental scarring. There is not much known about the accident that occurred in the lab. An accident that found Mune alone and on the run in the unfeeling streets of a city warped by greed and corruption. It was by pure luck that he was found by a visiting ambassador of [[the Nayama Dynasty]], a monk who sensed something in the boy. Mune was but six(6) years old.


Rather than be destroyed, he came to be reared by his father's sister. It was no mystery the child was unwanted, a black sheep within a family of intellectuals who sought respect and monetary gains for no one but themselves. A black sheep borne from their own weak blood, was the last creature they wished to give shelter, but, they did, for a time. [[File:doublehelix.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Double Helix]]
==== Chains Broken and Paths Forged ====


[[File:Sworddesign1.jpg|thumb|left|Ninjatō Style Dual VibroSwords (Purple - Animus) (Blue - Umbra)]]
Mune would be submerged in a world of tradition. He was given an education. The years that were gifted him were filled with study, training, and contemplation. By the age of seven(7), he was ensconced in every aspect of the monastic life he had come to be entwined with. He devoured every scrap of reading he could. He had worth. At the age of eight(8), he found himself unable to shake the feeling that the monks that took him in were missing something vital in their teachings.He '''knew''' more than '''thought'''. Such things, he kept to himself and continued his training, growing agile, graceful and calculating. He became, before long, an artist with a blade.


Mune remained uneducated, mistreated, and shunned by adult and children alike. He began to see himself much as others saw him, an oddity; a point driven home when his father paid a visit at the age of five. A point that drove him from what had been the only home he had so far known, when his aunt was told to get rid of the monstrosity. It was five days later, and Mune amused himself in a gazebo in his aunt’s garden. Spring flowers scented the air. He remembered those flowers for years after the flames engulfed them and his world was swallowed by fire. He saved himself from death, but barely, and, horrified at the demon before them, the family called for the authorities.The Force had saved him from destruction. It was not the authorities who came.
These people accepted him for who and what he was. He was noticeably more delicate than the other boys, shistavanen or otherwise.  


Drawn by the child’s power, the priestesses came upon him and the ash of the garden. Soothing the rage the boy felt, they take him away from those that could never want him, nor understand him.
Not so long after his tenth birthday, Mune found himself face needed to use the research had come to know of his experiment's whereabouts, and so looked to retake possession of UCE property. Mune had expected the man's coming thanks to visions that were visited on him. He met him a short distance down the path, from his home. If asked, Mune remembers nothing of those moments and did not remember for many years except as a horrible nightmare. However, what came after was the taste of blood upon his lips and the red that painted the trampled snow in wicked tones. He could recall the stickiness on his skin and the slow drip of gore from his matted fur. He had become engulfed by rage, and so slew the man claiming to be his father and the man's entourage all. The Dark Side of the Force had entirely consumed him. Panic-stricken, he feared for his home and the life he had finally found. To protect not themselves but the child, they decided to seek the help of [[the Republic of the Force]]. He was directed upon this new path and so continued his education in the wilds that were TRF's home.  


==== The Sound the Chimes Make ====
Mune took quickly to their reverence for nature. He found himself more at ease with himself than he ever had. He found the missing piece, the Force, and embraced it full-heartedly. He began to heal his mental scars. His tutors found him to be gifted for one his age, and most noted his gift for Farsight. They sought to forge him into a powerful ally in their continued efforts against [[the Meraxis Empire]].


At the age of five, after the fire that nearly claimed his life, he was taken in by the Monastery at Deeplake, well beyond the influence of Government or the scientific community. Here, his education began.  
He would never meet this purpose, nor the purpose intended for him by the Nayama Dynasty. At the age of eleven(11), Mune left them and returned to Nayama for a time spent with a friend he had realized he had budding feelings for, a dusty furred Shistavanen by the name of Asahi. Their parting would come a short time after Mune’s twelfth birthday, and his first crush gifted the Shistavanen a beautiful yet straightforward collar, a collar he vowed never to remove until they were together again. Mune discovered that he was genderfluid and embraced his first boyfriend before returning to the UCE.


[[File:jiansword.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Jian-styled Sword]]The following years were filled with ancient tomes, crumbling grimoire, and old and faded scrolls. He was ravenous for every scrap of knowledge, every bit of wisdom. Priest and priestess alike were more than happy to oblige him his seemingly ceaseless thirst. It became quickly evident to him however, that though they taught their ancient arts to other children under their tutelage within the monastery walls… they were missing something vital. They spoke often of the greatness of their wisdom, the power of their arts, the truth behind all things; but Mune '''knew''' more than '''thought''', that they were missing something important. A true understanding.
=== Adolescence ===
==== First Foray into the Brotherhood ====


Mune spent a little more than a year in the UCE. They kept a low profile, ensuring no family nor their father's company knew of their presence in the city-state. They managed to scrape by on part-time jobs here and there. It was at a server job that their path crossed with a Force-user of the Dark Brotherhood. It was clear what they had to do, and so, they left their home with the Grey Jedi and found what he sought, a place to expand their knowledge and find a mentor to teach them in the ways of the Force. So it was that he dove headlong into the ancient lore and rituals and became a pupil to a Dark Jedi of Scholae Palatinae. [[File:Csp-logo.png|thumb|right|150px|CSP Emblem]]


When not ensconced in his reading, he was tutored personally by one of the elders in the art of sword dancing. A form of sword play using the Jian-style sword, focused on grace and agility as opposed to strength and brute force. It was a style that suited his way of thinking.
Mune proved an apt pupil, with a constant need to learn and grow. These were the teachers they sought, not the ones back home. Their mentors within the Brotherhood could challenge them, and through their exceptional teaching, they advanced rapidly through the ranks to Knighthood. They took on their first role as a leader and thus entrenched themself fully within the Brotherhood. They were no stranger to the conflicts of the Clans.


He had quickly become accepted, his world changed drastically from what he had been accustomed to, though nightmares plagued him often in the night. He grew, his mind sharpened, and he was honed into everything the priests could ever hope for… a sorcerer that could bring them the notice of Government and garner them the power and respect they deserved. To his family, he was a mistake. To these people, a tool.  
During Mune's time among the ranks of Scholae Palatinae, they became Master to one Impetus M'Nar in the year 28 ABY (he would have been only around 13-years-old), an Imperial Agent in the employ of the Empire's Intelligence. They were charged with a mission to search for an agent of the Light Side living within Judecca, a spy. It was for Impetus' particular talents that she was paired with the young Knight. She became fascinated with the lightsaber Mune wore. Impetus' connections as Tonal'la proved invaluable in their hunt. The methods she employed, a curiosity at how easily and skillfully she used an entire city's worth of eyes to search were her own eyes could not.  


Honed and tempered by repeated lessons, he was taught to kill. Mistakes were rewarded with bruises, failure to perform to the expectations of his tutors became bloody marks upon his flesh. He pushed himself to succeed, so that they would teach him more and fill that need to know more. As he grew, so did his abilities, and his attachment to one he had come to call sister, an interesting girl who claimed attachment to his earliest years before the monastery.
It was only because of Impetus that they managed to track a woman. Impetus saved their life in the ensuing duel when they made a near-fatal mistake. It was then that Mune understood that the Force was at work through her. They took her as an apprentice then, and she has since been one of only two apprentices they have ever had.  


It came as no surprise then, the appearance of Orrand and his retinue of government officials. He had seen it in one of his nightmares. He awaited them upon the freshly fallen snow before the great gates of the monastery. It was only for a moment that Mune held a hope that his father had forgiven him his abilities and appearance. His hopes were dashed when the blasters were leveled upon him. Within moments, his swords had rent his father's entourage, felling them to the snow in pools of blood. The rage had enveloped the Hybrid's world. Mune would always remember standing over the man that he had known for so little time as his father, foot on the man's chest and the point of his blade to the scientist's throat. The boy blinked away the tears that streaked his cheeks, as he stared into eyes filled with hate and disgust, and Mune thrust the blade home, ending the life held at his mercy.  
She quickly became someone Mune put much trust in. They learned as much from her as what they imparted in her. They were strange in their refusal of the title of Master from the girl, and instead, she calls them by name, knowing full well without the title that she still respected them as much as they respected her. As much as anyone else in the clan, however, she could not have foreseen their disappearance.


He knew no mercy. With the men of the monastery, they buried the bodies.
Only she could understand, though, how much it could crush them to have abandoned her and damage that trust they shared.


=== The Brotherhood ===
==== The Past Returned ====


==== To the Stars ====
[[File:Laboratories.jpg|thumb||left||Eien Osada's Labs]]
No matter the amount of education, knowledge and experience, Mune found themself a slave to what their father had done. Months before their self-imposed exile, they had already set their mind upon leaving. The nightmares remained as strong as they ever were, their past a constant ache at the back of their mind that threatened to consume what remained of who they believed themselves to be.


It was not so long after the slaying that Mune left. He was forgiven the massacre by his brethren of the monastery, yet, he could not bring himself to remain. He felt out of place, as though he belonged elsewhere. They had no more to teach him, so far as he was concerned. He begged his leave of them, and though he could not garner the blessing of his teacher, he did promise to one day return and earn his favour. So he left, Mune returning to his birth place. He was thirteen-years-old upon his return to his home city, with little credits to his name but those he could make on odd jobs here and there. It did not take long however for him to get in contact with men whom's names were given him by the monastery and so arranged his leave of Imei.  
They kept to themself for a time, trying to deal with their psychological scars on their own. Eventually, they would find themself returning to the Caperion System and in their home city. They moved on without much preamble to the Nayama Empire and the monastery, where their journey in the ways of the Force began. They were stricken by the news that their loved one was no longer among those trainees, that Asahi had been taken some time ago. It became clear what the nightmares had been telling them. No time was wasted, they knew where they had to be, and so it came that they returned to a place they never wished to set foot in again, the headquarters of his father’s company.


He escaped his past, entering the sea of stars. He took on jobs as an assassin along the way, putting his years of lessons to the test. In a year's time, however, he came to find himself face to face with someone from his past; and the Brotherhood. He was nearly fourteen, standard years.
The infiltration began as planned, though it quickly turned. Their efforts proved to be in vain when they discovered the tortured and experimented upon Shistavanen they had been in love with. Mune knew only too well the torment and pain; there was nothing left of the boy he had loved, his mind a shambles, broken. Mune knew that even if they could get Asahi out, he would never recover. Then, Asahi spoke, he pleaded for Mune to end the suffering… and so they did, and so their heart broke. It was a battle to escape the facility, and they were forced to battle a cousin, working to recapture Mune. None of the guards were prepared for the Shistavanen when ridden by their rage and the Force. They gave up their control and only regained their senses when their cousin fell dead at their feet. Severely injured, nearing unconsciousness, it was only through the Force did they manage to retreat and regain freedom.


==== A Sum of his First Time in the Brotherhood ====
In the end, the Force guided them to where they had to be, at the doorstep of the Palatinaean scientist, [[Elincia Rei]]. They knew her; they had come to understand in the last weeks before arriving. Their bond not at all weakened to the girl they had called their apprentice. It was a relief to have arrived, but still, anxiety ate at them that she would have to see them as they were now. They had no doubt, however, that she would help them.
[[File:Isradiaphoenix.jpg|thumb||left||Isradia Phoenix]]
Mune began his journey in the Brotherhood as a member of [[Clan Exar Kun]]. [[Cipher K'oranian Isradia]], his surrogate sister and he were together again. From her, he learned the workings of the Clan. From his Master [[Vithril Isradia]] he learned to further his powers and better understand the Force. These were the teachers he had searched for, ones who could expand his knowledge well beyond what the monks could have ever hoped or dreamed. Through the exceptional tutelage of Vithril, Mune made his way to the ranks of Dark Jedi Knight. He acted as a battle team leader of Exar's Shadow, and also became a professor within the Shadow Academy. He had in short time firmly entrenched himself within the Brotherhood. He was no stranger to the conflicts the Clans found themselves in, including Great Jedi Wars.


It was through his connections, he believes, to his surrogate sister that [[Jonaleth Isradia]] accepted him into his family and so became an [[Isradia]] himself. He was granted a title, and land on the family's home world.  
Elincia accepted them in, and his road to recovery began. Days became weeks; weeks became months. It would be an entire year before Mune's recovery. It would be a couple of years before Mune regained strength enough to leave the care of her lab.


Then the changes started.
==== Caleb Wild’en ====
[[File:Mune-and-Caleb(s).png|left|600px|Mune & Caleb]]
{{Quote| Love is pure and true; love knows no gender. | Tori Spelling}}


Clan Exar Kun and Satal Keto became one, Clan Plagueis. Politics, at this time, were not a strength of his. Turbulence found him becoming uncomfortable in his position within the clan and so decisions had to be made. Eventually, Mune would separate himself from the new clan and find himself joining Scholae Palatinae.


Mune established himself soon enough within the Clan as Aedile of Acclivis Draco, and soon enough, stepped up into the position of Quaestor. He led for well over a year in the position, taking on Impetus as his apprentice and Aedile. Together they did great things until, stepping down, Mune would disappear for a time only to emerge for a short time in [[Clan Tarentum]] as Quaestor of House Gladius.  
A bodyguard was assigned to Mune at the beginning of their time with their old apprentice, a Togorian by the name of [[Caleb Wild'en]]. Their relationship began strictly professional, though it progressed in a handful of months to friendship. Mune even made an effort to learn to speak Togorian, while Caleb learned from them how to talk Shistavenen. It became a game to pass the time while Mune recovered from their wounds, broken heart and mental anguish. Wounds mended, the ache in their heart lessened, and in the company of Caleb, the nightmares seemed to diminish. Caleb’s cold demeanour thawed whenever Mune was near, and the shistavanen felt safe and not so alone in the togorian’s presence. Mune took this peaceful time to look at themself and focus on lessons in balance and walking the line between light and dark. They knew they had given themself over more than once to the Dark Side and vowed to never again do so in rage. They would not be its tool.  


It was not long before he vanished from the Brotherhood altogether.
It was after their return to the Brotherhood when Mune turned twenty(20), Caleb proposed.


==== Impetus ====
==== Return of the Wolf ====
[[File:Impetus close up by impetuskorin.jpg|thumb||100px||right||Impetus]]
During Mune's time among the ranks of Scholae Palatinae, he became Master to one Impetus, an Imperial Agent in the employ of the Empire's Intelligence. He was charged with a mission to search for an agent of the Light Side living within Judecca, a spy. It was for Impetus' particular talents that she was paired with the young Krath Priest. She became fascinated with the lightsaber Mune wore. Impetus' connections as Tonal'la proved invaluable in their hunt. The methods she employed, a curiosity at how easily and skillfully she used an entire city's worth of eyes to search where her own eyes could not.


It was only because of Impetus that they managed to track a woman. Impetus saved his life in the ensuing duel when he made a near fatal mistake. It was then that Mune understood that the Force was at work through her. He took her as an apprentice then, and has since been the only apprentice he has had.  
Mune returned to the Brotherhood in the company of Elincia Rei, they were eighteen years old. Greeted by an old friend, Cyris Oscura, and so was welcomed back among their number. They made it a point to join House Imperium to work with the house's Quaestor, [[Lexiconus Qor]]. From here, Mune also joined the Battle Team Shadow Gaurd under the command of [[Delak Krennel]], a man Mune met in the Antei Combat Center to get to know by the sword, testing each other's strengths and knowledge of combat. Mune enjoyed every moment of the encounter and took an immediate liking to the human. That welcome would quickly turn to business as they were immediately drawn into a joint venture with [[Naga Sadow]] to retrieve artifacts in the possession of the Red Fury Pirates. Mune made a great showing of themself, eager to earn their place back in the clan after a long absence. With the Clan Summits working in concert, they made their move, but the attack quickly became a betrayal as the clans would turn on one another. So the ties between them were broken by the time both clans went home with Scholae Palatinae the victor.


She quickly became someone Mune put much trust in. He learned as much from her, as what he imparted in her. He was strange in his refusal of the title of Master from the girl, and rather she call him by name, knowing full well without the title that she still respected him as much as he respected her. She as much as anyone else in the clan, however, could not have seen his leaving, and finally, his all out disappearance that would follow.  
Following hot on the heels of their victory against the Red Fury Pirates and successful attack on Naga Sadow; the Emperor decreed it time to enact "Operation: Starfall". It was at this time too, that Mune took up the roll of '''Grand Admiral'''(Rollmaster) of the clan. In the aftermath of Shattered Ties, their old friend Cyris was felled. Elincia took up the vacant position as Grand Vizier to the Emperor, leaving Mune to put forward their own name for the now vacant Grand Admiral role. They could only hope they would not disappoint.  


Only she could understand though, how much it could crush him to have abandoned her and damage that trust they shared.
Operation: Starfall would find them and their clanmates ordered to the planet [[Aesirus]] on the far side of the Galaxy where they would take possession of the SoroSuub Corporation's holdings of Kyber Crystal mines. This would be the first operation Mune had the opportunity to take charge of as a member of the Clan Summit. All had been going according to plan when, in a skilled manipulation of the entire clan, a trap was sprung upon them by the possessed Emperor. Trapped, it would be them and the other trapped leaders that would need to guide the Clan from the dark depths and home to take back what was theirs. Mune could only hope their apprentice could take care of herself until then.  


=== The Rogue ===
With a vengeance, the clan returned to Judecca and fought. More than one clanmate was lost, each paining Mune deeply. These people were their family, their pack. The final days of their battle upon their home turf found Xen gone missing, and their home returned (though for too short a time.)


==== Isradia ====
=== Adulthood ===
{{Quote| The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. | Robert Frost}}


He left no indication to anyone he had chose to leave, nor were there any indications as to where he left for. Asked now, he still does not say much on the subject.  
==== An End, and A Beginning ====
[[File:United_Corporations_of_Elaya%28s%29.jpg|thumb||right||Cityscape of UCE.]]
It seemed too little time passed before the next crisis for the clan. Their emperor vanished, for all they knew dead; and upon them descended Pravus' fleet. Given little time to act, Scholae Palatinae evacuated to their medical station. Their fleet was decimated. The planets of their system were bombarded from orbit and made uninhabitable. Mune could do naught but watch. If they were asked, they'd admit they did not care what happened to their physical home. what mattered, and what they felt mattered most were the people that made up the clan themselves, and that they survived. They could find a new home. It would be during the destruction that their emperor returned to them, and the search for the future of the clan began.


The facts are, he took his studies to Vardor, home of Isradia and there, kept sequestered away from the affairs of the Brotherhood. He had become isolated. his studies expanded to numerous forms of lore, politics, bureaucracy, and more. Though he delighted in tomes and books and grimoires of all sorts, here too did he fall out of place within the family his sister had tied him to.
Days turned into weeks then months. As Grand Admiral, Mune coordinated numerous missions in search of a suitable home. Excursions resulting in but one loss. The clan begun the process of rebuilding their fleet while on the move, the medical station making its slow path through space. It was not nearly as turbulent a time they recalled before their time as a rogue, but it was by no means an easy time either. Months into their efforts, Xen'Mordin interjected before long the decision to make the Caperion system their home. Before the combined summit, they remained silent on the matter, though inwardly, their mind became a tangled mess of emotions. They knew instinctively it was an excellent choice based upon those needs of the clan, and knew no amount of personal discomfort could overshadow that need. They had a clan to worry about, but, such thoughts did little to calm the turmoil in their heart. They would deal with their personal ghosts when time permitted.


A hand full of years passed. Then illness found him.  
==== Arcona ====
[[File:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arcona Emblem]]
Most of their time within the Brotherhood was spent in the embrace of Scholae Palatinae, but with the passing of their apprentice, Elincia Rei, they began to feel disconnected from the clan, separate from it. Even as Director of Imperial Scholae Intelligence, they no longer felt the kinship they had become accustomed to as part of the clan. They spent less time among clanmates and more time with their partner, trying to understand what lay ahead for them.  


Though doctors could not tell him what ailed him, nor the origins of what had begun to weaken his body... he knew. It was then that he took his leave of Vardor, and Isradia, much to the displeasure of Isradia's Master. He took his leave, with a pained farewell to his surrogate sister, and made his way to whence he came.
An opportunity arose that allowed Mune to work outside the clan and pledged their aid to the Harmonists, where they met with other Shistavanen and, perhaps for the first time, felt even a  minor sense of being part of a pack. It had been a long time since they felt comfortable among others, so they chose to step out of their old clan into a new one, where they knew they would once more be able to engage those new companions and begin a new chapter of their journey. They took up a post on the Voidbreaker II, even becoming her Intelligence Officer. They yearn to have a pack for the first time in their life, and their partner encourages them to reach out, to learn to connect with other Shistavanen and try and look past the pain they have suffered in the past at the hands of their family.  


[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LkGiMXBftY6aU1-3VdNoB29-LTTtNfTfVsFxmXld0V0/edit?usp=sharing Snow and Ashes] is the full accounting of these particular events.
As it would happen, they would first connect with the Force-user weary [[Doon Sulvir]].


==== Forging his Own Destiny ====

{{Quote| The hidden harmony is better than the obvious. | Heraclitus}}
Mune took his leave of Isradia, and Vardor to return to his place of birth. Caeles sprawled out before him on leaving the space port, a city long left behind. He was a stranger among a sea of strangers. From here he traveled to Deep Lake where he returned to the monastery that had raised and trained him. He earned the favour of his teachers, as he had promised he would upon his departure from their walls. After two weeks of remaining among them, made the hardest journey yet.  


By this time, his health had been on a steady decline. It wore greatly on him. He returned to the home of his mother, and there met with her for the first time since the attempt on his life by his aunt. an emotional reunion,but one that gave him the strength he needed to carry on with his mission into the heart of his father's works. He found himself later in his father's labs where he managed to steal his father's research and with minimal conflict, extricate himself from a potential deadly situation. He had no interest in being anyone's lab experiment again...

=== Physical Appearance ===


==== The Doctor ====


His search began in earnest. His father's research in hand, he left the planet to seek the help he would need to put the research to some sort of use. He only grew sicker as the weeks passed. He clung on to the feeling that he still had far more to do, that his life was not meant to end yet. So he continued his search. It would be through an old connection with the Brotherhood that he would come to know of a scientist by the name of [[Elincia Rei]]. Something rang in the name to the dying Hybrid. Weeks were spent in rest and mediation as he continued his slow search for the doctor.  
Mune stands slightly below average height for an adult Shistavanen, at 5'7" (170cm). They are lithely built with subtle curves nearing feminine. They are well-toned, with a build trained for agility and finesse rather than power, honed through a strict regime of swimming and running. Topping their head are expressive and largish canid ears reminiscent of a fox, each with simple helix piercings. Their fur between their ears is left shaggy and rather tussled, at times pinned back to keep it out of their eyes. Around their throat is a steel collar kept locked by a simple locking screw, giving it the appearance of a perfect circle; they never remove it.  


In the end, the Force guided him to where he had to be, at the door step of the Palatinaean scientist. He knew her, he had come to understand in the last weeks before arriving. His bond not at all weakened to the girl he had called his apprentice. It was a relief to have arrived, but still anxiety ate at him that she would have to see him as he was now. He had no doubt, however, that she would help him now.
Vivid, ruby eyes look out from a fluffy face, each pupil vulpine in shape and bright with intelligence. Their face is dominated by a slender muzzle lined with pointed teeth. Their body is thickly furred from the top of their ears to their toes. Their pristine white fur is luxurious and well kept. An especially thick ruff of fur covers the scruff and throat. Their tail is meticulously groomed and easily gives a flamboyant flip with the casualness of someone at ease with their stature. Upon fingers and toes are slightly curved black claws intended for ripping and tearing into prey.


Elincia accepted him in, and, research into his condition began. Days became weeks, weeks became months. It would be an entire year before Elincia's efforts proved Mune's recovery.
=== Their Speech ===


=== The Return ===
Mune speaks with an aristocratic accent, softened by an exotic lilt telltale of a blend of two distinct accents resulting in slight lengthening of the vowels. They speak in a warm tenor at the higher end of the vocal range. Their tone deepens only slightly when speaking in Shistavanen and loses any trace of their usual accent, as is also the case when they speak Togorian.


==== Shattered Ties ====
=== Personality Profile===


Mune returned to the Brotherhood in the company of Elincia Rei. He hwoever did not return to the last clan he had been a part of, rather, he returned to Scholae Palatinae. Greeted by an old friend, [[Cyris Oscura]], and so was welcomed back among their number. He made it a point to join House Imperium to work with the house's Quaestor, [[Lexiconus Qor]], a doctor, unbeknownst to Lexic himself, had helped Elincia in the Hybrid's recovery. From here, Mune also joined the Battle Team Shadow Gaurd under the command of [[Delak Krennel]], a man Mune met in the Antei Combat Center to get to know by the sword, testing each other's strengths and knowledge of battle. Mune enjoyed every moment of the encounter, and took an immediate liking to the human.  
Mune is a complex young Shistavanen, one that has gone through no small number of hardships in their youth. These hardships in no small part define who they are, but, at the same time, they leave no doubt that there is far more to them than the damages wrought by their upbringing. They are naturally amiable to those around them, talkative and even charming. They have a ready smile and are more than happy to share it, especially with those they call friends. They are likewise intuitive, exceptionally perceptive and deeply reflective; rooted in a scholarly intellect. Considered by most to be gregarious, kind, and witty. Still, others consider them flippant, emotionally turbulent and absent-minded.


That welcome would quickly turn to business as he was immediately drawn into a joint venture with [[Naga Sadow]] to retrieve artifacts in the possession of the Red Fury Pirates. Mune made a great showing of himself, eager to earn his place back in the clan after a long absence. With the Clan Summits working in concert, they made their move, but the attack quickly became a betrayal as the clans would turn on one another. So the ties between them were broken by the time both clans went home with Scholae Palatinae the victor.
Mune suffers from ''claustrophobia'' or fear of restriction and suffocation.


==== Operation: Starfall ====
=== Skills ===
[[File:Aesirus.jpg|thumb||right||Landscape of Aesirus]]
==== Combat ====
Following hot on the heels of their victory against the Red Fury Pirates and successful attack on Naga Sadow; the Emperor decreed it time to enact "Operation: Starfall". It was at this time too, that Mune took up the roll of Grand Admiral(Rollmaster) of the clan. In the aftermath of Shattered Ties, his old friend Cyris was felled. Elincia took up the vacant position as Grand Vizier to the Emperor, leaving Mune to put forward his own name for the now vacant Grand Admiral role. He could only hope he would not disappoint.


Operation: Starfall would find he and his clan mates ordered to the planet [[Aesirus]] on the far side of the Galaxy where they would take possession of the SoroSuub Corporation's holdings of Kyber Crystal mines. This would be the first operation Mune had the opportunity to take charge of as a member of the Clan Summit. All had been going according to plan when, in a skilled manipulation of the entire clan, a trap was sprung upon them by their own Emperor. Forced to take refuge in the mines themselves with the miner's, all escape was cut off, trapping them all deep underground. It was only because of Elincia's interference that the final round of charges meant to collapse the chamber on them all, that they were not killed there. Xen'Mordin was revealed to be Darth Fallax. Their Emperor possessed, and they trapped.
Mune is extremely agile and is trained in the use of two swords (or two lightsabers in most cases.) They depend heavily on their honed reflexes, natural speed, and even the precognitive power of the Force to expertly weave their way around an opponent's attacks. Though they have a preference for swords, Mune can pick up just about any bladed weapon and fight.


Mune could only trust that Elincia could take care of herself. Together with the Quaestors Lexiconus and Blade, he would have to plot their escape from the depths of the caves and find their way back to the Cocytus System and their home.
==== Non-Combat ====


==== Midnight ====
In non-combat situations, Mune is a learned observer. Their keen perception earned them a position as Director of Imperial Scholae Intelligence and later, upon their leaving the clan, a position as the [[Voidbreaker]]'s Intelligence Officer.


== Profile ==
==== The Force ====
[[File:Mune_Design(s).jpg|thumb||right|400px|Mune Cinteroph]]
=== Appearance ===


He is half-human, a hybridization come about through genetic manipulation and experimentation. His human father, Orrand Verr’s goals were uncertain, and all pertaining papers since classified or destroyed, and so remains uncertain. The results, however, only seem by all appearances, completely cosmetic.  
Mune is no stranger to the Force and its many powers. Perhaps in part due to their father's meddling, they were found to be gifted when they were quite young and that power became focal of their father's research. Their sensitivity to the Force first came to them as Farsight and grew from there. Now, they've turned their focus towards the protective and healing powers of the Force with little to no emphasis on offensive powers. Farsight remains at the core of their abilities.


Mune is somewhat short of average height for an adult human male, standing at 5’7” (170cm) and well-toned. He is by and large, mostly human in his appearance, with a few notable traits that mark him as not quite. These include his eyes, a startling ruby red in colouration, bright, intelligent, sharp and even shocking at first when one catches sight of the slit quality of his pupils. His teeth, or his canines more specifically come to the slightest points, barely noticeable and could only be described as dainty fangs. He has canine ears instead of human ones, though they afford him no better hearing then is to be expected of a human. His nails can only be described as claws, though only just… and no more dangerous then the next man deciding to grow his nails long. Most notably (aside from the ears of course), is his tail, kept well groomed at all times. His hair is most short, with his bangs left long, dyed a soft powder pink that compliments the soft cream colour of the rest of his hair. Each ear is adorned with a single piercing.

" Flowers grow out of dark moments. "
― Corita Kent

Mune Cinteroph has long been part of the Imperial Clan, his disappearance for a handful of years notwithstanding; he has distinguished himself well since his return to the ranks of his fellow Palatinaeans. Born on Seraph in the Caperion System, he is a scholar, calculating thinker and talented swordsman. Before his disappearance, he was a leader within Scholae Palatinae for House Acclivis Draco. He took only two apprentices in his time, Impetus M'Nar and Braecen Kaeth. The reasons for his disappearance remain his own, though it is rumoured that the Doctor and Empress, Elincia Rei is aware. He has since left his clan of many years to join Arcona.

Character History

Childhood


" Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering."
― Paulo Coelho

Dark Beginnings

Force-sensitive canid native to Seraph.

Mune was born to the prominent and influential scientist Eien Osada and his wife Aimi Cinteroph in the United Corporations of Elaya in 16 ABY. Eien's experiment began well before his birth and, instead, started upon the conception of his son. Using the funding from the UCE government through Chairman Getris Retpay, and the resources of C.A.G.R.A. (Corporation for Advanced Genetic Research and Application) as operated by Osada Corp., Mune and his mother both were made victim to Osada's twisted experimentation. The few classified files remaining would note the genetic research as attempting to amplify the predatory nature of the Shistavanen by combining their genetics with that of a native, Force-sensitive animal native to Seraph. The experiment failed in the earliest tests and only resulted in Mune's far paler fur colouration, or so it appeared at the time. It may well have been the slightest bit of love for his wife that Eien did not terminate immediately and allowed the infant to live.

The child, however, was given his mother's surname and any inheritance of his father's fortune refused him in the future. Osada Corporation would pass to his elder brother, Seito Osada.

At the age of two(2), Mune was removed from his home and put into the care of his Aunt, Kiho Osada, when his mother had fallen ill. He was not made to feel welcome; rather, he was treated as a black mark upon the family name and rodent to be removed. So regular was the abuse that he even began to see himself as the oddity and animal his family made him out to be.

Unbeknownst to him, his mother was on her way to a full recovery. His father had no intentions, however, of reuniting them. It was evening, and Mune was amusing himself as he did in his aunt's conservatory when flame engulfed the garden. The fragrance of flowers that perfumed the air became that of smoke and ash. No one saved him; instead, he saved himself. The Force responded to him and, through it, removed himself from the flames. What should have been a turning point became the true beginning of his torment. Seeing an opportunity in that power, his father began experimenting in earnest to uncover the secrets of those abilities. It was a power that was weaker in his older brother than in himself.

Mune went through unspeakable torture. Mune’s brother became a complete sociopath due to what he went through, Mune suffered severe night terrors, claustrophobia, and further mental scarring. There is not much known about the accident that occurred in the lab. An accident that found Mune alone and on the run in the unfeeling streets of a city warped by greed and corruption. It was by pure luck that he was found by a visiting ambassador of the Nayama Dynasty, a monk who sensed something in the boy. Mune was but six(6) years old.

Chains Broken and Paths Forged

Ninjatō Style Dual VibroSwords (Purple - Animus) (Blue - Umbra)

Mune would be submerged in a world of tradition. He was given an education. The years that were gifted him were filled with study, training, and contemplation. By the age of seven(7), he was ensconced in every aspect of the monastic life he had come to be entwined with. He devoured every scrap of reading he could. He had worth. At the age of eight(8), he found himself unable to shake the feeling that the monks that took him in were missing something vital in their teachings.He knew more than thought. Such things, he kept to himself and continued his training, growing agile, graceful and calculating. He became, before long, an artist with a blade.

These people accepted him for who and what he was. He was noticeably more delicate than the other boys, shistavanen or otherwise.

Not so long after his tenth birthday, Mune found himself face needed to use the research had come to know of his experiment's whereabouts, and so looked to retake possession of UCE property. Mune had expected the man's coming thanks to visions that were visited on him. He met him a short distance down the path, from his home. If asked, Mune remembers nothing of those moments and did not remember for many years except as a horrible nightmare. However, what came after was the taste of blood upon his lips and the red that painted the trampled snow in wicked tones. He could recall the stickiness on his skin and the slow drip of gore from his matted fur. He had become engulfed by rage, and so slew the man claiming to be his father and the man's entourage all. The Dark Side of the Force had entirely consumed him. Panic-stricken, he feared for his home and the life he had finally found. To protect not themselves but the child, they decided to seek the help of the Republic of the Force. He was directed upon this new path and so continued his education in the wilds that were TRF's home.

Mune took quickly to their reverence for nature. He found himself more at ease with himself than he ever had. He found the missing piece, the Force, and embraced it full-heartedly. He began to heal his mental scars. His tutors found him to be gifted for one his age, and most noted his gift for Farsight. They sought to forge him into a powerful ally in their continued efforts against the Meraxis Empire.

He would never meet this purpose, nor the purpose intended for him by the Nayama Dynasty. At the age of eleven(11), Mune left them and returned to Nayama for a time spent with a friend he had realized he had budding feelings for, a dusty furred Shistavanen by the name of Asahi. Their parting would come a short time after Mune’s twelfth birthday, and his first crush gifted the Shistavanen a beautiful yet straightforward collar, a collar he vowed never to remove until they were together again. Mune discovered that he was genderfluid and embraced his first boyfriend before returning to the UCE.

Adolescence

First Foray into the Brotherhood

Mune spent a little more than a year in the UCE. They kept a low profile, ensuring no family nor their father's company knew of their presence in the city-state. They managed to scrape by on part-time jobs here and there. It was at a server job that their path crossed with a Force-user of the Dark Brotherhood. It was clear what they had to do, and so, they left their home with the Grey Jedi and found what he sought, a place to expand their knowledge and find a mentor to teach them in the ways of the Force. So it was that he dove headlong into the ancient lore and rituals and became a pupil to a Dark Jedi of Scholae Palatinae.

CSP Emblem

Mune proved an apt pupil, with a constant need to learn and grow. These were the teachers they sought, not the ones back home. Their mentors within the Brotherhood could challenge them, and through their exceptional teaching, they advanced rapidly through the ranks to Knighthood. They took on their first role as a leader and thus entrenched themself fully within the Brotherhood. They were no stranger to the conflicts of the Clans.

During Mune's time among the ranks of Scholae Palatinae, they became Master to one Impetus M'Nar in the year 28 ABY (he would have been only around 13-years-old), an Imperial Agent in the employ of the Empire's Intelligence. They were charged with a mission to search for an agent of the Light Side living within Judecca, a spy. It was for Impetus' particular talents that she was paired with the young Knight. She became fascinated with the lightsaber Mune wore. Impetus' connections as Tonal'la proved invaluable in their hunt. The methods she employed, a curiosity at how easily and skillfully she used an entire city's worth of eyes to search were her own eyes could not.

It was only because of Impetus that they managed to track a woman. Impetus saved their life in the ensuing duel when they made a near-fatal mistake. It was then that Mune understood that the Force was at work through her. They took her as an apprentice then, and she has since been one of only two apprentices they have ever had.

She quickly became someone Mune put much trust in. They learned as much from her as what they imparted in her. They were strange in their refusal of the title of Master from the girl, and instead, she calls them by name, knowing full well without the title that she still respected them as much as they respected her. As much as anyone else in the clan, however, she could not have foreseen their disappearance.

Only she could understand, though, how much it could crush them to have abandoned her and damage that trust they shared.

The Past Returned

Eien Osada's Labs

No matter the amount of education, knowledge and experience, Mune found themself a slave to what their father had done. Months before their self-imposed exile, they had already set their mind upon leaving. The nightmares remained as strong as they ever were, their past a constant ache at the back of their mind that threatened to consume what remained of who they believed themselves to be.

They kept to themself for a time, trying to deal with their psychological scars on their own. Eventually, they would find themself returning to the Caperion System and in their home city. They moved on without much preamble to the Nayama Empire and the monastery, where their journey in the ways of the Force began. They were stricken by the news that their loved one was no longer among those trainees, that Asahi had been taken some time ago. It became clear what the nightmares had been telling them. No time was wasted, they knew where they had to be, and so it came that they returned to a place they never wished to set foot in again, the headquarters of his father’s company.

The infiltration began as planned, though it quickly turned. Their efforts proved to be in vain when they discovered the tortured and experimented upon Shistavanen they had been in love with. Mune knew only too well the torment and pain; there was nothing left of the boy he had loved, his mind a shambles, broken. Mune knew that even if they could get Asahi out, he would never recover. Then, Asahi spoke, he pleaded for Mune to end the suffering… and so they did, and so their heart broke. It was a battle to escape the facility, and they were forced to battle a cousin, working to recapture Mune. None of the guards were prepared for the Shistavanen when ridden by their rage and the Force. They gave up their control and only regained their senses when their cousin fell dead at their feet. Severely injured, nearing unconsciousness, it was only through the Force did they manage to retreat and regain freedom.

In the end, the Force guided them to where they had to be, at the doorstep of the Palatinaean scientist, Elincia Rei. They knew her; they had come to understand in the last weeks before arriving. Their bond not at all weakened to the girl they had called their apprentice. It was a relief to have arrived, but still, anxiety ate at them that she would have to see them as they were now. They had no doubt, however, that she would help them.

Elincia accepted them in, and his road to recovery began. Days became weeks; weeks became months. It would be an entire year before Mune's recovery. It would be a couple of years before Mune regained strength enough to leave the care of her lab.

Caleb Wild’en

Mune & Caleb
Mune & Caleb

" Love is pure and true; love knows no gender. "
― Tori Spelling


A bodyguard was assigned to Mune at the beginning of their time with their old apprentice, a Togorian by the name of Caleb Wild'en. Their relationship began strictly professional, though it progressed in a handful of months to friendship. Mune even made an effort to learn to speak Togorian, while Caleb learned from them how to talk Shistavenen. It became a game to pass the time while Mune recovered from their wounds, broken heart and mental anguish. Wounds mended, the ache in their heart lessened, and in the company of Caleb, the nightmares seemed to diminish. Caleb’s cold demeanour thawed whenever Mune was near, and the shistavanen felt safe and not so alone in the togorian’s presence. Mune took this peaceful time to look at themself and focus on lessons in balance and walking the line between light and dark. They knew they had given themself over more than once to the Dark Side and vowed to never again do so in rage. They would not be its tool.

It was after their return to the Brotherhood when Mune turned twenty(20), Caleb proposed.

Return of the Wolf

Mune returned to the Brotherhood in the company of Elincia Rei, they were eighteen years old. Greeted by an old friend, Cyris Oscura, and so was welcomed back among their number. They made it a point to join House Imperium to work with the house's Quaestor, Lexiconus Qor. From here, Mune also joined the Battle Team Shadow Gaurd under the command of Delak Krennel, a man Mune met in the Antei Combat Center to get to know by the sword, testing each other's strengths and knowledge of combat. Mune enjoyed every moment of the encounter and took an immediate liking to the human. That welcome would quickly turn to business as they were immediately drawn into a joint venture with Naga Sadow to retrieve artifacts in the possession of the Red Fury Pirates. Mune made a great showing of themself, eager to earn their place back in the clan after a long absence. With the Clan Summits working in concert, they made their move, but the attack quickly became a betrayal as the clans would turn on one another. So the ties between them were broken by the time both clans went home with Scholae Palatinae the victor.

Following hot on the heels of their victory against the Red Fury Pirates and successful attack on Naga Sadow; the Emperor decreed it time to enact "Operation: Starfall". It was at this time too, that Mune took up the roll of Grand Admiral(Rollmaster) of the clan. In the aftermath of Shattered Ties, their old friend Cyris was felled. Elincia took up the vacant position as Grand Vizier to the Emperor, leaving Mune to put forward their own name for the now vacant Grand Admiral role. They could only hope they would not disappoint.

Operation: Starfall would find them and their clanmates ordered to the planet Aesirus on the far side of the Galaxy where they would take possession of the SoroSuub Corporation's holdings of Kyber Crystal mines. This would be the first operation Mune had the opportunity to take charge of as a member of the Clan Summit. All had been going according to plan when, in a skilled manipulation of the entire clan, a trap was sprung upon them by the possessed Emperor. Trapped, it would be them and the other trapped leaders that would need to guide the Clan from the dark depths and home to take back what was theirs. Mune could only hope their apprentice could take care of herself until then.

With a vengeance, the clan returned to Judecca and fought. More than one clanmate was lost, each paining Mune deeply. These people were their family, their pack. The final days of their battle upon their home turf found Xen gone missing, and their home returned (though for too short a time.)

An End, and A Beginning

Cityscape of UCE.

It seemed too little time passed before the next crisis for the clan. Their emperor vanished, for all they knew dead; and upon them descended Pravus' fleet. Given little time to act, Scholae Palatinae evacuated to their medical station. Their fleet was decimated. The planets of their system were bombarded from orbit and made uninhabitable. Mune could do naught but watch. If they were asked, they'd admit they did not care what happened to their physical home. what mattered, and what they felt mattered most were the people that made up the clan themselves, and that they survived. They could find a new home. It would be during the destruction that their emperor returned to them, and the search for the future of the clan began.

Days turned into weeks then months. As Grand Admiral, Mune coordinated numerous missions in search of a suitable home. Excursions resulting in but one loss. The clan begun the process of rebuilding their fleet while on the move, the medical station making its slow path through space. It was not nearly as turbulent a time they recalled before their time as a rogue, but it was by no means an easy time either. Months into their efforts, Xen'Mordin interjected before long the decision to make the Caperion system their home. Before the combined summit, they remained silent on the matter, though inwardly, their mind became a tangled mess of emotions. They knew instinctively it was an excellent choice based upon those needs of the clan, and knew no amount of personal discomfort could overshadow that need. They had a clan to worry about, but, such thoughts did little to calm the turmoil in their heart. They would deal with their personal ghosts when time permitted.

Most of their time within the Brotherhood was spent in the embrace of Scholae Palatinae, but with the passing of their apprentice, Elincia Rei, they began to feel disconnected from the clan, separate from it. Even as Director of Imperial Scholae Intelligence, they no longer felt the kinship they had become accustomed to as part of the clan. They spent less time among clanmates and more time with their partner, trying to understand what lay ahead for them.

An opportunity arose that allowed Mune to work outside the clan and pledged their aid to the Harmonists, where they met with other Shistavanen and, perhaps for the first time, felt even a minor sense of being part of a pack. It had been a long time since they felt comfortable among others, so they chose to step out of their old clan into a new one, where they knew they would once more be able to engage those new companions and begin a new chapter of their journey. They took up a post on the Voidbreaker II, even becoming her Intelligence Officer. They yearn to have a pack for the first time in their life, and their partner encourages them to reach out, to learn to connect with other Shistavanen and try and look past the pain they have suffered in the past at the hands of their family.

As it would happen, they would first connect with the Force-user weary Doon Sulvir.

Physical Appearance

Mune stands slightly below average height for an adult Shistavanen, at 5'7" (170cm). They are lithely built with subtle curves nearing feminine. They are well-toned, with a build trained for agility and finesse rather than power, honed through a strict regime of swimming and running. Topping their head are expressive and largish canid ears reminiscent of a fox, each with simple helix piercings. Their fur between their ears is left shaggy and rather tussled, at times pinned back to keep it out of their eyes. Around their throat is a steel collar kept locked by a simple locking screw, giving it the appearance of a perfect circle; they never remove it.

Vivid, ruby eyes look out from a fluffy face, each pupil vulpine in shape and bright with intelligence. Their face is dominated by a slender muzzle lined with pointed teeth. Their body is thickly furred from the top of their ears to their toes. Their pristine white fur is luxurious and well kept. An especially thick ruff of fur covers the scruff and throat. Their tail is meticulously groomed and easily gives a flamboyant flip with the casualness of someone at ease with their stature. Upon fingers and toes are slightly curved black claws intended for ripping and tearing into prey.

Their Speech

Mune speaks with an aristocratic accent, softened by an exotic lilt telltale of a blend of two distinct accents resulting in slight lengthening of the vowels. They speak in a warm tenor at the higher end of the vocal range. Their tone deepens only slightly when speaking in Shistavanen and loses any trace of their usual accent, as is also the case when they speak Togorian.

Personality Profile

Mune is a complex young Shistavanen, one that has gone through no small number of hardships in their youth. These hardships in no small part define who they are, but, at the same time, they leave no doubt that there is far more to them than the damages wrought by their upbringing. They are naturally amiable to those around them, talkative and even charming. They have a ready smile and are more than happy to share it, especially with those they call friends. They are likewise intuitive, exceptionally perceptive and deeply reflective; rooted in a scholarly intellect. Considered by most to be gregarious, kind, and witty. Still, others consider them flippant, emotionally turbulent and absent-minded.

Mune suffers from claustrophobia or fear of restriction and suffocation.

Skills

Combat

Mune is extremely agile and is trained in the use of two swords (or two lightsabers in most cases.) They depend heavily on their honed reflexes, natural speed, and even the precognitive power of the Force to expertly weave their way around an opponent's attacks. Though they have a preference for swords, Mune can pick up just about any bladed weapon and fight.

Non-Combat

In non-combat situations, Mune is a learned observer. Their keen perception earned them a position as Director of Imperial Scholae Intelligence and later, upon their leaving the clan, a position as the Voidbreaker's Intelligence Officer.

The Force

Mune is no stranger to the Force and its many powers. Perhaps in part due to their father's meddling, they were found to be gifted when they were quite young and that power became focal of their father's research. Their sensitivity to the Force first came to them as Farsight and grew from there. Now, they've turned their focus towards the protective and healing powers of the Force with little to no emphasis on offensive powers. Farsight remains at the core of their abilities.
