Xayun Erinos - Character History

Birth on Yaga Minor

Xayun Erinos was born five years before the destruction of the first Death Star, on Yaga Minor, a staunchly Imperial planet. His parents were both members of the Empire, and their love of the Imperial order was projected onto their son at an early age. As a child, Xayun would listen to his father's stories of being a TIE pilot, engaging in vicious dogfights with the 'evil' Rebel Alliance. As he grew up, his hatred of the Rebellion grew - they were, in his mind, trying to destroy his home and family life. It was no surprise when Xayun wanted to become a pilot himself, and soon after he reached enlistment age, he was on the way to the Academy.

Xayun: TIE Pilot

Graduating from the Academy with his wings and full honours, Xayun was assigned to the Carrack-Class Cruiser Vindicator II. Embarking on endless patrol duty, he was angered at the rise of the New Republic and the fact that he was seemingly being barred from taking revenge on the 'jumped-up Rebels'. Then, on one such tedious patrol route, a group of Republic fighters emerged from hyperspace. Seeing his chance, Xayun shot down the attackers before the rest of his squadron had fully comprehended what was happening. Over the course of the next few years, Xayun worked his way through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, eventually turning down a position in fleet command to continue flying TIEs. His career was to be cut short, however - ironically, with another patrol flight.

Joining the Brotherhood

An unidentified fighter had made it's way into the no-fly zones around Bastion. Xayun and his flight group were sent to identify the mystery pilot and, if necessary, terminate him. Watching the ship heading for the planet's surface, the squadron followed it down into the atmosphere. Once they had cleared the ozone layer, the fighter attacked, blowing away Xayun's flight group an causing the young pilot to crash-land on a deserted part of the planet. Regaining consciousness and finding the mystery pilot waiting for him, he was told that his abilities had attracted the attention of a group far more powerful than the Imperial Remnant, and that he could either take up the shadowy organisation on their offer of power - or remain stranded in the wilderness of Bastion. Intrigued, and refusing to have his life end now, Xayun accepted, and followed the man back to Brotherhood space.

The Dark Brotherhood

Clan Naga Sadow

Upon first joining the Dark Brotherhood, Xayun was drafted into House Primus Goluud of Naga Sadow. Coming into the clan at the beginning of the 5th Great Jedi War was extremely disconcerting for the young man, and he gradually faded from events. In two years time, however, he returned to find his former clan a changed place - they had new leaders, new members, and his former house had been closed by Malik Sadow during his time as Consul. Joining House Ludo Kressh, Xayun now tries to amend his two-year absence by working as hard as he can for his clan. He became Clan Envoy for a long period and served as Aedile of House Ludo Kressh. Unfortunately, so much awesomeness couldn't be contained in CNS and Xayun transferred to Tarentum.

Characteristics

Appearance

Xayun is a tall individual, towering over most at six feet, two inches. His mop of dark brown hair falls over one blue-green eye, and his usual attire is his black-and-red robes over a black flight suit, white stormtrooper armour taken from his time in the Empire, or more recently a black-and-red combat suit adorned with various melee weapons, firearms and explosives. He also on occassion wears an officer's uniform he retains for formal functions. He has a small crescent scar running from the outside corner of his right eye, received in a training duel with his former master and Quaestor, Xia-Long.

Combat

Xayun is a master of the Makashi saber style. The finesse of the style greatly appealled to him, and he devoted large amounts of time upon reaching Knight status to master it. He is also proficient a large number of bladed weapons, has demolitions training and is an excellent marksman, and of course is also an excellent combat pilot. He flies a slightly modified TIE Hunter - the same he crashed into Bastion, which he was able to salvage weeks later. Xayun also carries a custom-made firearm called the Sixshot. The gun is a throwback to the projectile weapons of earlier times, and fires regular ammunition rather than blaster bolts or a typical energy beam. The ammunition used has slight armour-piercing capabilities, and the design is such that most people are fooled into thinking of it as a primitive and ineffective weapon.
