Scion Altera: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:42, 2 October 2007

Childhood

V-Scion was born on Kegan in the same year that its oppressive regime was toppled by the Jedi. Local law required that males add a "V" to the front of their names, while females add an "O". During V-Scion's youth this law remained in force due to long held tradition, despite the political tumult and rapidly changing culture.

When he was very young, Scion did well in school. His attention turned to the stars when he hit his teens. He was becoming aware of the situation around him, and it didn't suit him. He considered himself trapped on a backwards world in the middle of nowhere, and he promised himself he would get himself out.

At 13, he began to drop the V from his name, going simply by "Scion". In the next years he got in trouble repeatedly for truancy, shoplifting, robbery and other petty crimes. Eventually at the age of 15 he left home to live on the street. After two hard years of wandering from city to city on Kegan, he met a man named Vampire outside a bar. Vampire was a squadron commander in the Imperial Navy. Seeing his ticket off planet, Scion begged Vampire to let him enlist.

Career

In the Navy, Scion showed great aptitude both as a pilot and a leader. He was given the nickname "Firebird" by his men, and eventually granted command of an entire Wing of starfighters. By the time he retired, Scion had been promoted to the rank of Colonel.

Brotherhood

Visions of darkness had begun to plague the Colonel since shortly before his retirement at 65 years of age. He had had dealings with Force users before, and had heard some very strange tales in his time, but in his mid-sixties he had assumed he just didn't have it in him. He didn't mention the visions to anyone until a full five years of retirement had passed. He contacted his old friends Apollo and Timbal and told them of the things he had seen. Brotherhood members themselves, they both urged him to journey to Antei.

Scion, or "The Colonel" as he had been dubbed by the crew of the retirement frigate, stole a TIE Defender and made his journey to Antei to join the Brotherhood. He stood out as one of the most elderly of the new Initiates, but his lifetime of prior experience both in the military and on the streets served him well during his trials. He now stands a proud member of the Brotherhood.
