True past of Tyren Atema

The Atema Family

Years after the creation of the Empire, in a remote place on planet Dantooine, two Jedi survived the Empirial slaughter. One with the name of Jerreth Atema, a former Jedi Knight and a survivor of “Order 66” and Ashira Islana, another former Jedi.

The two Jedi met in a Transport Freighter during the Jedi Purge, they were on route to Dantooine, where they thought a small order of Jedi still survived. However, when they arrived on the planet all they found as a destroyed enclave, with nothing left but only a few survivors. Holding onto themselves, the two Jedi fell in love as they rebuild the enclave into a cavern nearby, with the help of a CorSec agent who fled the Empire as well. Calling it ‘The Sanctuary’, the newly built conclave meant to be a haven to all who wished to flee from the Empire.

After half a year of rebuilding the two Jedi married, and so the Atema family was born. They were one of the first Jedi to marry during the Jedi Purge, and became a symbol of hope to the people of Dantooine, hope that the Empirial reign will come to an end soon.

The Sanctuary itself existed a better part of the Emperors reign. The CorSec agent, who aided the two Jedi in rebuilding the conclave, was affiliated with the Old Republic and thus the Order of the Jedi.

Birth of twins

After the two Jedi gotten married Ashira got pregnant, and nine months later gave birth to twins. Two boys who each had their own feats from the day they were born. The names of the boys were Ylith Atema and Tyren Atema.

The two boys, the older Ylith and the younger Tyren, were born in a peaceful environment their parents and the other residents created. Though they were twins the two boys had differences their parents felt all too well. While Tyren was a quiet boy, Ylith was always the active one, always on adventure and looking for clues to find old Jedi relics even when he was a small boy.

Tyren was also the one more adaptive in matters of the Force, easily bending the force to his will. Small powers but for his age quite remarkable. Unlike his older brother, Tyren was not interested in ancient Jedi Relics and was more busy with the future. So the young boy often wondered what would happen, deep within thought. His parents believed that he would be a master in foresight someday.

Brothers in blood

Ylith and Tyren both grew up in a force active environment, though the Empire was always around the corner, the Sanctuary remained hidden. The two brothers became best friends and added to each other what the other lacked.

Even though Ylith was a good boy, their parents did sense a natural Dark Side aura around him, which worried them. They hoped to someday make him a Jedi and a peon of good. Ylith is very strong built while Tyren was better in minor force abilities and dexterous feats. Tyren was very spiritual for his age. Already meditating and questioning life in general. His intellect was his strong side, and his everlasting will to show off the small force powers he had made Ylith angry most of the time. But in the end, the two boys could go against any hardship as long as they worked together.

Ylith was mostly the one getting into trouble, Tyren was the one who always made the trouble happen for his twin brother. Though Tyren was not so strong physically as his twin, his street smarts and agility often saved him from getting into trouble and letting his older brother handle it for him.

Past Devided

They eventually lived there for 4 years. In the same year, three years after the Battle of Yavin, the Empire discovered the Sanctuary and launched a small assault on the former conclave, destroying it. The families from the sanctuary, who were drawn to the Sanctuary to flee from the Empire over the years, tried to escape in an old transport that brought the Jedi to the planets years ago, but the force of Tie-fighters was too much for the battered ship. The ship was destroyed not long after leaving Dantooine’s atmosphere. The Atema family got separated in the outbreak of paranoia and panic that was unleashed by the ships residents upon its imminent destruction.

Ylith ended up with his father, Tyren with the mother. They escaped in different escape pods. When all seemed fine and well an explosion of one of the other pods ruptured their hope. Thinking that the other part of the family was killed in the blast the Atemas lost hope for a family reunion ever to occur. Ylith and his father eventually ended at the planet of Byss, while Tyren ended up on the planet Coruscant with his mother to both start separate lives, eventually forgetting their past.

Coruscant

The most unobvious place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that beeing near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the last place to look for Jedi would be Coruscant. She was dead wrong and she payed it with her life. One night a squad of stormtroopers came into Ashiras sanctuary killing her in her sleep. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had ran of that night to his friends house against the wishes of his mother. That childish decision saved his life. He was raised by Jatarra Dumash for the rest of his life on Coruscant. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace, and thus Tyren lived his life on.

Eden

When Tyren was a teenager Jatarra died of a desease that swept the slums lika plague. Tyren fled of world to a distant planet in the Outer rim, Eden. There he lived a solitairy life, expanding his view of the Force. He never learned to properly use it but still he had a knack for the unnatural. One day Tyren climbed a steep cliff in search of food. Finding a birds nest he took the eggs, unbeknownst of the nest`s owner. When the bird returned it attacked Tyren so suddenly that it left him out of balance and grip. Tyren fell hitting the ground with such force tat he was left unconcious instantly. When he woke up he could remeber none of his true past but instead thought himself to be older and wiser. The lonlyness of his outoftheway home left him mad. One day he went to the nearest village he could find in search of company but stories of a "madman from the mountains" spread like a plague throughout the land. This angered Tyren very, he killed every villager he could find therefore turning to the Dark path forever. He went on, killing every being he could find, until one day a Rogue Jedi who hid on Byss came to find Tyren and end his senseless onslaught of innocents. They dueled and Tyren fought bravely and hard but the Jedi was too much. At the moment Tyren thought he would see his death another option flew through his mind, he focused on the Force and with great effort and energy struck the Jedi with a pure lightning bolt. The Jedi was unprepared for the attack and had no way to defend himself, he was dead. Although the shear enormity of Force that he used fatigued him greatly. Tyren somehow found his way to a village, tooka mount and headed off. Days later he found an old Rebel base and an X-wing in it. He and flew out of Eden. Somewhere in hyperspace he passed out only to wake up in a bacta tank on The Sword's Sheath, a Gladius controlled battle station in the Yridia system. There he was accepted, he was helped and there he swore to help the Dark Brotherhood destroy the Jedi.

History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Tarentum

Gladius

"Welcome to The Sword's Sheath!" Frosty Romanae said in his low Deshade voice.

"Thank you!" Tyren replied.

"You will be assigned your own quarters, where you can meditate and explore your potential and a flight deck for your X-wing where you can inspect your craft whenever you wish."

"Fine by me."

"You are one of us now, one of our brothers and as such we will help you achieve your highest potential. Welcome to Gladius of Tarentum, brother."

During his stay in Gladius, Tyren met a lot of people who were willing to help him and he has flourished. There he was accepted and he accepted in turn. In his short, but usefull stay in Tarentum, Tyren was assigned to Dox Romanae, than a Dark Jedi Knight, who thought Tyren a lot about the Brotherhood and its ways. Even more did Zin learn from Dox`s brother Frosty who, from the very first day, helped Tyren advance through the ranks. Once Tyren became a Guardian he left Tarentum and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a year. This period in his life is called "The Pilgrimage"

The Pilgrimage

File:Pilgirmage.jpg

During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren Zin traveled the galaxy in search of "another self". From the wasted of Tattooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomyr he traveled to find his new self. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and for that he left, to change. So he did. Not long into his journey Tyren found an old Pilgrim, The Dragon pilgrim they called him, on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of his order. He told Tyren that long ago there was a legend of a great dragon, lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Dragon monks praised this ancient deity. They were not evil, nor were they good, they tended to stay in the balance, attack only if threatened, defend when needed, never to look at the petty affairs of little people, never to engage in someone else's doings. Tyren found what he was looking for, a new beginning. He stayed with the old man and learned from his wisdom. For twelve months he learned, drawing every single word from the old man, soon the day would come when he would show his potential. As a final test of what he learned, Tyren was to defeat a Kryatt dragon, a race of giant lizards that lived on the planet. Tyren meditated for two full days, gathering his strength for the upcoming ordeal, fianlly he was ready. The battle lasted, what for Tyren seemed an eternity, but in the end he succeeded in his goal, the lizard was exhausted. With the last string of strength Tyren took his katana blade jumped high above the lizards head and pierced the dragons skull silencing it forever. "Ryuujin", The Dragon, The Dragon Pilgrim, thats the name he obtained after his battle. He stayed with the old man until his end. With the old mans death Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and finding this inner peace, a new self, a new name he returned to the Brotherhood.

The return of the Dragon

Plagueis

When returning to the Brotherhood, Ryuujin did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. In hopes of a new beggining and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request and took Tyren under his wing. Hoping to learn more from his new master Ryuujin accepted and thus became one of the brothers again....

Revelations

While looking for a training room on Antei Tyren came by his old Seargent and mentor, Ylith, or Draken how he`s called now. He asked Draken to help him with the nightmares he`s been having hoping that maybe Draken, beenig very old could answer what the dreams ment. In the nightmares Tyren saw a wona, two twin boys playing in a yard and devided in times of war. Though Draken didnt know anything about such a thing, Ylith's memories did. Told as a story often by his foster family, Ylith has heard the same story over and over again in his youth, knowing it was something he wasn't meant to forget.

Both Draken and Tyren investigated this occurance and even underwent a DNA test to see if they were family. The DNA of both Ylith and Tyren matched perfectly, even so perfectly that they were considered twin brothers.

Tyren first had trouble believing this story. Since Ylith was considered years younger than Tyren. But the DNA test showed that in fact, Tyren was younger than Ylith and in search for answers, memories of the tragic accident on Eden unfolded into Tyren's mind.

Quest for knowledge

Both Dark Jedi embraced this fact and started their quest to find out the true history of their youth, they ended their search on the planet Dantooine, where they found an old Jedi Holocron, recording the first Jedi Marriage during the Jedi Purge, showing that it belonged to the Atema family.

Then the holocron showed the two boys playing, seeing the image both Dark Jedi startted to remember their hidden and forgotten past. The the screen shifted and the attack was shown, as the two Sith now remembered clearly, they knew now that they were split up and their past with them.

Both Ylith and Tyren reconstructed the Atema family crest and placed the banner near the ruins of the Sanctuary, to remember their parents, even if they were Jedi. The two boys became Sith, but they would never dishonour the Atema family.

Markings

The Dragon tattoo

File:Tattoo.jpg

Ryuujin`s Dragon tattoo

Covering his whole back, neck to hips, and his arms and legs is a tattoo of a dragon, representing much-less the same thing as the banner, the dragon spirit and the serenity of the soul. It was drawn by the Elder Dragon pilgrim via ancient methods. Various plants give nectar that can be used as paint. This "paint" is sucked in by the skin and stays there forever. It cannot be washed away only medically removed with the skin.

Possesions

The banner

On the warbanner Ryuujin has in the Brotherhood the dragon figure represents the Great dragon, the text is written in a forgotten tongue: "Fear the Great Dragon. Keeper of The balance. Creator of all." The Herald`s logo in the background represents his loyalty to the Herald.

"Ryuujin noroi"

File:Ryuujinnoroi.jpg

Ryuujin`s katana

The Ryuujin noroi is a katana sword created by Tyren himself on his Pilgrimage, it has ancient runes inscribed on the blade that write "Spirit of a dragon". It was alchemicaly treated by his teacher, the elder Dragon Pilgrim, so that the runes glow a feint yellow at all times. It also has the ability to withstand high pressure and breaking force like rocks or other metallic objects. Against a lightsaber it is, a most weapons, useless. It is an elegant weapon of choice. It represents the warrior in every soul. For Ryuujin its something more, it is a bridge to his soul, to his inner self. In it`s reflections he can see the battle inside him swirl and with its help he can remain at peace in any moment. (The name means: Dragon curse)

T-65 X-wing

File:X Wing.jpg

Ryuujin`s X-wing

Tyren acquired his X-wing before he joined the Brotherhood. He stole it from a Rebel base. The X-Wing also had an R2 unit attached to it when it was stolen. Later on Tyren colored it almost jet black, added better engines, a better hull, new lasers and an improved Shield generator. The ship holds scars of many dogfights and bears the imprints of many ships that were destroyed by its owner.

   * Speed: 100 MGLT
   * Maneuverability: 90 DPF

Faith

Ryuujinshuukyou

This is a religion very little known to the common folk of the galaxy. It literally means Dragon religion or Dragon faith. It began aprox 3000 y. BBY when a Force sensitive monk from the Outer rim started preaching of an ancient dragon that creates, guides and controls the universe with a metal fist. After years of preaching and being banished from one planet to the other, it finally came to pass that a small band of people believed him and followed in his tracks. The religion has not grown much nor did its influence but its order of monks was a powerful yet concealed force. To this day only one is left, Tyren "Ryuujin" Zin.
