Character History

A Silent origin

Kyo Loric was born on the planet of Nexus Ortai within Hertae Sector in 12 ABY to a family of doctors. His mother was his main caregiver during his brief stay on his homeworld as his father was always busy with his odd experiments that he committed down in the basement of their home. Several years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Nexus Orati, Kyo's father was killed in a freak accident down in the market. No one asked questions as not many people viewed the doctor as a "nice" person. Overcome with grief, the young boys mother soon fell to a fatal heart attack and left Kyo all alone, an orphan in a world where no one would take him due to his father's ill reputation.

Luckily, a student of Skywalker had been visiting the world on a supply run and noticed the boys potential. This led to him taking the orphaned boy to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4.

The Praxeum

What is known about young Kyo is that around his fifth birthday, he was admitted into Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum to train in the ways of the force. He spent three years on Yavin 4 training in the ways of the force. Secretly, he had been sneaking from his room every few nights to explore the forests surrounding the temple in which they called home. It was not until he was almost eight years old that he came across a rare and unique tome of dark lore within one of the ruins that could be found out in the forests. After retrieving this tome of knowledge, he was followed back to the Praxeum by a small creature, who later became his friend after the two had a small confrontation.

Earlier in the night before he had found the book of dark lore, his roommate had attempted to stop him from sneaking out. This led to him assaulting the young boy and leaving him injured upon the floor of their quarters.

Exile

After injuring the young student, Kyo was cast into exile from the Praxeum for his deeds. Skywalker wanted him far from his students and the his teachings.

During his exile, Kyo traveled around for a short while stowing aboard multiple starships until he finally reached Tantooine. Here on Tatooine, he was confronted by a smuggler named Olivia. She took him under her wing and began to teach him the arts of smuggling. He spent another 7 long years learning from her and finally upon his fifteenth birthday, was given a ship of his own.

Sadly, on his maiden voyage to Coruscant, he was assaulted by the Yuuzhan Vong who had just recently conquered the planet. His ship was heavily damaged during this scuffle and Kyo just barely escaped in time as to not lose his life.

Beginning of the Fall

Landing on a nearby fleet vessel, Kyo left his ship in a capable mechanics hands as he roamed the fleet. During this time he "bumped" into a man dressed in all black. This turned out to be a Dark Jedi Knight passing through the area in search of new hopefuls to bolster the ranks of the newly formed Shadow Academy. Falling for the man's dark and seductive words, the young smuggler joined him and returned to the Academy with this man. The man promised to have his ship transferred to the Academy while he took Kyo aboard his own private vessel.

The Escape

Time passed and with every passing day, Kyo grew stronger in the dark side of the force, but he felt that something was missing in his life and this led him to secreting himself aboard his old ship and escaping the Academy.

During his self imposed exile, Kyo traveled back to Tantooine and fell into his old habits of smuggling. Seven years would pass before he finally found it in himself to return to the Dark Brotherhood from which he had fled years before.

A Return to Darkness

Upon his return to the brotherhood, he noticed that much had changed and the views of the order had grown. He spent his time regaining the trust of his mentors. Long hours of pouring over tomes of lore and datapads filled with dark knowledge and still he felt as if a hole was building within him. Something was not quite right.

His previous master having vanished, left Kyo with many questions and even fewer answers. He began to go out at night to train his body as well as his mind. He first thought that this might help fill the hole that was within him, but this only led him to becoming exhausted.

One late evening after his daily regimen, Kyo was approached by a young man dressed in a turncoat that was just slightly too large for him. His name was Teroch and he was the leader of a group known as Soulfire. After a long discussion, Kyo finally revealed that he knew a little about blasters and this drew Teroch's interest.

After some time passed and the two men spoke for awhile, Teroch finally persuaded Kyo to join Soulfire. The leader of the unit told Kyo to meet up with the executive officer of Soulfire in the morning and gave him specific coordinates to follow.

The morning came and the young Journeyman followed the directions that Teroch had given him to the letter. It led him to a small room deep within the Shadow Academies walls. Inside he was met by a man dressed in all black and wearing a mask. The man beckoned for the journeyman to come closer but remained silent.

As soon as the journeyman came within range, the masked man quickly drew his red saber and brought it uncomfortably close to kyo's neck. Before lowering the blade, all he said to the young man was, "An enemy would not hesitate."

Many more encounters like this happened over the next few weeks before Kyo got wise. As he approached the masked man for what felt like the one hundredth time, he readied himself. AS the masked mans saber came down, it was met by an armory saber the young man had borrowed three days before. He looked to the man and said, "My enemy had better be quicker then."

In some unspoken way, this made the masked man lower his saber and hold out his hand to Kyo. " Welcome to the brotherhood," he said firmly.

After that incident, the masked man took the Journeyman to meet several of his superiors. Many rites of initiation were conducted before kyo was finally inducted into House Galeres of Clan Arcona.

The Crimson Exodus

Time passed in Arcona and the Brotherhood and with this time, Kyo grew. His knowledge in the force and of himself continued to build as he pushed himself to new heights. Evetually, he finally reached the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and was handed a saber by his master. He began to learn the arts of fighting that until then he had simply brushed off as techniques of the lesser minded. His master changed his views on the subject of weaponry though and slowly Kyo began to fall in love with his saber. A simple relic passed down to him from his master became the core of his being.

As time continued to flow, Kyo found himself becoming more and more agressive and skilled in the use of the saber. He began to study different martial arts as well in hopes to continue to center his mind and body. Doing this resulted in a change in the young man. He began to see the world in a different way then before.

After a few months as a knight of the Brotherhood, the young man decided to travel on a journey to learn more about who he was. His journey took him to many distant planets and he saw many walks of life. MAgni, his constant companion, would always caution him to be wary new and potentially dangerous situations but Kyo ignored these warnings and continued to press on in his search.

He finally reached a world in the outer rim where he came upon a small tribe of lizard like humanoids that were quite proficient in the use of the deadly assassination techniques. He was ambushed by a group of these creatures and nearly killed. Was it not for the sacrifice of his friend Magni, he would have died, but Magni, in one final attempt to teach his friend patience, dove in front of a blade that was aimed at the young mans heart. As the blade sank deep into the small creature and the light from his eyes vanished from this existance, something snapped in Kyo.

His memory of the event is still hazy but he does remember having woken from what felt like a dream with the blood of the lizards wet upon his hands. He was covered in blood both his own and that of the creatures he had slain. Slowly coming to the realization that the one person in the entire universe that he could confide in lay dead before him, Kyo's grip on sanity began to slip. Before he knew what had happened, he had gone to a nearby village of the lizard creatures. This village was peaceful and had no connections to the group that had attacked him, but this did not matter to Kyo. He merely saw them as the creatures who killed Magni. As such, he began a brutal killing spree that ended only once every man, woman and child lay dead before him.

He escaped the planet on his ship and wandered the galaxy for many months. In time, Kyo came to have dreams of his friend Magni. In these dreams, Magni would plead with him to forgive himself but the young man would always lay blame upon his inability to listen to his friend.

As more time passed, Kyo finally began to come to terms with the death of his friend. He began to focus his mind and body into perfecting his arts. Saber, the force and his fists became a focal point in which he could begin to slowly reclaim what he once was. Although he had begun to overcome his grief, the realization of what he truly was became truly engraved in his mind. He was a killer, and in fact, he liked it.

From then, he continued to travel for some time and learning to perfect the new skills he had acquired.

Finally feeling that enough time had passed and that he would be best used as a weapon for the brotherhood, Kyo returned to where he was meant to be. A small cantina on Coruscant during a heavy rain was his destination. He would meet with a messenger sent by the clan and reintegrate himself into the family that had shown him the way to who he was....

Profile

Personality and Mannerisms

Kyo was a shy child. He did not like to draw attention to himself in fear of harsh criticism, but as he grew and experienced more of life, he became more confident. Now Kyo is a strong minded young man with great ambitions. A very charismatic young man, he likes to use what others refer to as , "His silver tongue", to sweet talk his way out of dangerous situations. This silver tongue has also landed him in even more dangerous situations.

Kyo is also known to have a lust for power. If he learns of an ancient relic or artifact, he can't help himself but to search for it and obtain it's knowledge for his own purposes.

During his life, Kyo has tried to show other's a more enigmatic side to him. When asked a question, he usually remains silent unless it is from either his master or a superior in the organization that he currently works for.

Many people are weary around this young journeyman due to his silence, but when you can work past that and get into his inner circle, to the people he slightly trusts, you will notice he is a bright young man and that he has an interesting story to tell. He enjoys telling stories and when in the company of his close friend, Magni, he can be found telling him many stories or tales of adventures.

Although most will only ever see his darker side, Kyo also has a soft side too. If you were to discuss piloting with him at length, he would first be a little cautious, but after the conversation took shape, he would drop the enigmatic shield that guards his emotions and begin to ramble on about all kinds of ships.

Beware though, if you bring up questions about his time on Nexus Ortai, the veil of silence that normally surrounds him would come up once more and he would lose interest in you.

A Dark Secret

Although many may never see it, Kyo suffers from an acute form of dementia. Ever since he was a child, he has been having horrible visions that entail death and torture. At first people simply believed him to have made this up, but as time passed and he was examined by multiple doctors, they decided to give him medicine to help with his ailment. Now once a month, Kyo must inject himself in the neck with a neural stimulate in order to supress the disturbing images that would normally flood his mind. As of lately, Kyo has come to the conclusion that perhaps these visions that he is having are due to the force, and that perhaps it is not a curse but instead a gift.

Appearance

Although he may seem light of frame and frail, underneath his flowing dark robes is a well toned figure. He is constantly exercising both his mind and his body. His long white hair he has had since birth and people have said that it has a mystical property to it. His eyes burn bright like the core of a supernova and their amber brilliance shows no sign of dimming. His skin tone has a slightly ghostly quality to it as he is pale from hiding so much.

More often then not you will see him wearing a traditional scholarly robe although what is not seen is his DV-CES given to him by his battleteam. He wears this at almost all times in case called in for a mission by his superiors.

He also has a small metal mask that he carries in a pouch at his side. No one knows the real reason why he carries this mask. He never wears it, but it seems to hold great value to him. If asked about it, he will simply say that it is memorabilia from a time past.

Companion and Closest Ally

File:Magnus Azasell.jpg
Kyo's closest Friend, Magni

During his training on Yavin 4 under Skywalker, kyo met this young Kushiban.

His full name is Sekk Ori Magni. This Kushiban grew up like any other Kushiban would until the day where his people found out that he had been born with a rare birth defect. Normally a Kushiban's fur will change depending on it's mood or feeling, often this is called mood fur, but sadly, young Magni (as he likes to be called) is unable to change the color of his fur. This Kushiban's fur is forever crimson and for as long as he lives it will never change color. Magni's eyes were not however effected by this birth defect and he still mimics the eyes of whom ever he is speaking to.

When speaking, Magni has a slippery voice that makes you feel as if he were hiding something. Almost like a snake to some extent. Although his voice may be off-putting, Magni is normally sweet and kind to his close friend Kyo. He can be quite vicious if anyone was to harm or threaten his friend though.


During a recent event, Magni met his end at the blade of a lizard assassin. This has led to any mention of him to his closest friend, Kyo, to send the young man into a unstable mental state for a time.

The Metal Mask

The Metal Mask

This odd looking mask is something that Kyo always carries on his person in a small pouch. He can be found looking at it sometimes late at night with a glazed look in his eyes as if he were reliving memories from a time long ago.

If anyone was to ask about the mask he simply brushes them off or tells them it is a memorabilia from a long time ago. He does not like to explain it's dark past.

The mask once belonged to the young man's father. A sick and twisted man who performed odd experiments on people in the families basement. To Kyo knowledge, he cannot remember ever going down into this basement because the sights may well have been too terrifying for his mind to imagine.

When his father passed away, the only thing Kyo kept was the mask that his father use to wear before he would descend into the basement.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Strong Willed
  • Deep Thinker
  • Excellent Pilot
  • Moderately Good With A Lightsaber

Weaknesses:

  • Slight instability of his mental state.
  • Not as physically strong as most
  • Has a bad attitude towards Hutts
  • Dislikes Alcohol

Hobbies and Talents

Kyo's main hobby is reading and piloting. If you give him a good book or at least a datapad with some intriguing information, he can spend hours combing over all the details until he has it memorized.

If he gets his hand on a ship, you may not get it back. Kyo loves ships and they are one of his few passions in life. When not reading or trying to gain power, you might often find him trying to commandeer a vessel and taking it for a joy ride. The more complex the ship, the more fun he has.

Combat

Weaponry

Kyo was once trained and very proficient in the use of blasters and sniper rifles. He even would have gone as far as to say that he was an expert with said weapons, but due to recent circumstances, he has become increasingly more proficient in the use of lightsabers and defensive martial arts and as such his marksmanship prowess has taken a blow. He can still safely handle a blaster or rifle but now he much prefers the use of his saber or bare hands.

Piloting

During his time after being exiled from the Jedi Praxeum, Kyo took on the roll as a smugglers assistant. He learned everything he could about transportation vessels and fighters star crafts. It took him many years but now he prides himself on his knowledge of ships and flight. Even as a child, he was always seen as a skilled pilot.

The Force

From an early age, Kyo has always had a close connection with the force. Although he never knew how to truly use it until his time on Yavin 4 with Skywalker, he was known as a trouble child because things would happen around him that could not normally be explained.

As he grew and his powers developed, Kyo showed a weird connection with the more mental sides of the force. Piloting was his main outlet. He had an uncanny understanding of direction and orientation. Also he was once known for being able to have a more emapthic link with others around him but of lately he seems much more distant.
