"I have returned from exile"

―Ylith

Character History Ylith Atema

Banner of the Atema Family

Atema Family

"I fight for I foresee a future for the Atema..."

―Jerreth Atema

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 who survived the Imperial attack on a remote Jedi Conclave. 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 was a destroyed enclave, with nothing left but only a few survivors. Holding onto themselves in comford, the two Jedi fell in love as they rebuild the enclave secretly into a cavern nearby, with the help of a renegade CorSec agent who fled the cruelty of 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 and it's Dark Side reign. After half a year of rebuilding the two Jedi married, and so the Atama family was born. They were one of the first Jedi to marry during the Great Jedi Purge, and became a symbol of hope to the people of Dantooine, hope that the Empirial reign of darkness 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 and guarded the Sanctuary by blocking scouts and keeping Dantooine of the charts as a potential hideout.

Birth

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 residants 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.

Brother

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. 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.

Past Divided

"Shattered glass..."

―Jerreth Atema

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.

Foster Parents

Jarreth Atema and Ylith soon found themselves being held captive on the planet Byss, deep within the Empirial core. The escape pod they used was soon picked up by a star destroyer and they were both held as captives, and as Jarreth was Jedi, soon to be executed. In a daring move, Jarreth fought the guards and used the force to escape the transport vehicle he was in on the planet's surface. He took Ylith into the deep city of Byss and evaded the stormtroopers following him. Though he was able to lose the force pursuing them, Jarreth was heavily wounded. He stopped at a small home where he felt a good aura, and made a final plea before he died. He asked the man and woman living there to take care of Ylith, to raise him as their own and never to make him forget his past. The man and woman took the child in and took care of Jarreth before he finally died, allowing him to share his past with them.

Destruction of Byss

Years later, when Ylith was in his late teen years. The New Republic launched an assault at the Empire's main base on Byss. Though Ylith lived far enough to not notice the warfare, he did have a feeling that he needed to get out as soon as possible. He made his foster parents go with him, though they were split up when they entered the evacuation shuttles. Ylith tried to join them but was pushed into his shuttle by the main crowd trying to get off the planet. As soon as the shuttles left orbit, the Galaxy Gun, the new superweapon made by Emperor Palpatine, fired a hyperspace bomb right into the planet, causing it to disrupt the planets core and destroy it. When the planet erupted in a huge ball of fire, Ylith saw a piece of rock smashing into his foster parents shuttle, killing them instantly, before going into hyperspace himself.

Recruitement to the Dark Brotherhood

"The boy has potential..."

―Welshman Corsair Tarentae

Living as a renegade ever since the destruction of Byss, Ylith was guilty of countless murders. He made it a sport to kill as many of the new Republic as possible, to have revenge. Eventually he was captured by the Rebels and locked away in a base on Tatooine, where he was stuck for a year and tortured beyond feeling. His hatred however, only grew more fiercely.

During the night, alarms rang and ships came baring down on the backwater town he was in. Anti Air turrets fired heavily upon what seemed like Tie Fighters. Though Ylith couldn't determine what force they were from. They were somehow different. Suddenly everything was quiet and footsteps could be heard. Ylith backened from the jail door as he saw a robed man moving towards it, and moving the door as if it was nothing but a mere piece of paper holding him back. "I sense hatred in you. Come with me and you shall have your revenge young one.." The Dark man said and Ylith followed, fearing his life at first. He was taken to Yridia and then transferred to the Shadow Academy, where he soon learned the Dark Side and it's ways. He became more viscious and rose fast within the ranks of the Dark Side. He found a new family, the Romanae, who took him into their name. He became Ylith Romanae, Dark Jedi of the Obelisk.

Ylith's X shaped scar

Master and Apprentice

Ylith, like any other young Dark Jedi, was appointed to a Master. The young Obelisk was placed under the care of Ciara Tearnan Tarentae, who is believed to be one of the former consuls of Clan Tarentum. Ylith was honoured to be under her studies and did everything she ordered him to do.

While in Training, Ciara sought in him the weaker version, the weakness which still resided in him. The loss of his family was the exact weakness Ciara needed to eradicate, and that she did. In an exessive amount of mind training, the Master used her Krath skills to turn his weakness again him and purified him from the weakness. However, the way he showed his weakness in general had to be punished, and the Krath used her lightsaber to carve an X-shaped wound above the Obelisk's heart, a scar which reminds him each day he showed weakness and was punished. Ylith still wears this scar till this day.

Phoenix Crest

"Ok, we are actually going in there? Are you insane?!"

―Archean Erinos Tarentae

When Ylith was still in training, an attack on the Phoenix Crest, an under water base used to harvest minerals and irons from deep below sealevel, had been made by pirating people from Yridian Civilians. Though Ylith was still only a Guardian when the attack occurred, it didnt stop the Obelisk from pushing himself into the midsts of battle. Guided by his Quaestor Welshman Corsair, he joined the shuttle down to the Phoenix Crest, only to be shot down by Pirate invaders. The Shuttle crash landed on a small island crawling with Pirates, Ylith got hurt while fending them off while Welshman tried to get communications back online. Another Dark Jedi Group, lead by Archean, soon joined Welshman and Ylith and worked together to stop the Pirate threat. Eventually, Ylith and Archean both stopped the pirate attack even with Ylith saving Archean's life, while Welshman took control of the planet's orbit with the Creeping Death. In the end the Pirates were found at their base by a small army lead by Spears Tarentae and wiped them out to set an example for others. The Phoenix Crest itself was heavily damaged in the progress, but easily salvageable and ready to be used for harvesting in a matter of time.

Ylith's Arm

Coratua IV

Like the rest of Tarentum at the time of the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, Ylith was sent out to fight against the other Clans and Pirates in order to gain control over Coratua IV, a planet the Obelisk High Commander Korras did not wish to lose. Ylith was part of the landing team, who had to unsure the main resources could land safely on the planet without being overrun by Pirate troops. Archean was also part of this and used his commanding skills to ensure the main resources landed safely.

Ylith and his team pushed on against the Pirates and their forces, and had driven them out of most of the area. But before the shouts of victory could be heard from the Tarentum camp, a tank the pirates had, heavily out dated, appeared in Ylith's sight and before he could evade the huge warmachine it fired. The shell, designed to bury itself into the ground before exploding, causing large gaps in the ground so troops would be slowed, tore trough Ylith's left arm rendering it useless. Archean saved Ylith's life as Tie Bombers took out the tank swiftly. The Obelisk now wears a metal arm, replacing his normal one, and owes his life itself to Archean.

Ylith's spirit dormant

Change of Nature

"Hear me, last of the living Valheru..."

―Vykor Sha'id

When he reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, he found a scroll containing a legend about an ancient race with immense power, the Valheru. With his best friend Archean Bruth'Kothae, he set out to find more about this ancient Race, and on the outer regions of the Galaxy he found a dead planet called Shi, this planet used to be home to the Valheru and Draken found the story of the Last of the Valheru, called Vykor Sha’id, who witnessed the destruction of the planet Shi by the hands of the Old Republic, who wiped the Valheru out in a large war. Ylith also found within the ruins of the Valheru main castle a sword, The Valheru Sword of Darkness. The blade shimmered in blue flames and is key to the Valheru survival. Empowered by ancient Valheru alchemy it also was home to the spirit of Draken-Korin, who took Ylith's body as a host. The Dark Jedi first resisted the Valheru's attack on his body, but soon gave in when he knew that together, they would be stronger than ever. And so the Valheru Draken-Korin was reborn, and the Dark Jedi Ylith Romanae gave his knowledge and memories to combine the powers of the ancient and the present. The Valheru warlord Draken-Korin was born once again.

Dormant

To this day, Ylith still aids Draken from within the mind, giving him knowledge and aid when needed and remained like so for quite some time. Though at the end of the Vong War, Draken was severed from Ylith and the Sith was free to control his own body once more.

Character History Draken-Korin Elariël

Draken-Korin's Spirit

Draken's Life

Childhood

"Heir of the Elariël Bloodline, my firstborn son "

―Draken's Father

The History of Draken starts approximately 50,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Though no one knows exactly how long ago it truly was as the ways that years were counted changed over the millenia in between. Draken was born and raised within the Citadel city of Erundwyr, which was positioned near the middle of Ceria Isliana, the bigger of the two continents on the planet.

Once a year, at the dawn of the Season of the Sun, the Festival of Life would be celebrated for a span of two weeks. The festival will begin by a large campfire at night, where the Sharan Heren, lord of the Valheru, would show his kindness to the people. Everyone could throw something old and useless into the fire and get enough gold to buy a new one from one of the merchants in town. It was a sacred tradition, upheld by the people and they wouldn’t even consider trying to abuse it.

After the Ritual of Renewal, as the starting of the Festival is often called, start the Days of Sun’s Blessing. Two weeks of festivities and to the time to prepare for coming season. A time for merchants to show their newest wears, for the young girls to participate in the rite of adulthood and for the young boys to enroll onto the army.

Draken's father was in the military as long as he could remember, sometimes he would be out on the battlefield against the Valkyri for weeks and the other time he would either train Draken or teach his son the art of warfare and Valheru strategies. Covering from the diamond trenches to the Dragon's razor. Draken was fascinated by his father, to be such a wise man and still be unmatched by anyone on the battlefield. It was a feature Draken would only hope to receive one day.

On the sixth day of the Festival of Life, the boys nearing adulthood within the Valheru race would be presented upon the main square. All dressed in ceremonial outfits made of velvet to resemble the ceremonial battle armors the guards of the Sharan Heren. At this test, the boys had to step into a large ring, marked by the stones on the square itself as by wooden poles tied together by rope to mark the edges of the ring.

The rules were simple, ten boys would enter the ring, each wearing a golden medallion on which was a dragon symbol on it. The test was to see who has the most wits and strength and the smarts to lead. The one who could acquire all, or most, medallions from the other boys would be the winner, and would be presented with the lowest leadership rank before he would be officially enlisted into the army itself, which was after the Festival of Life.

Draken used his wits, street smarts and superior strength to acquire all ten amulets and was bestowed the honor of being Urshiël Tyv of the Valheru. Which was about the same rank as a 'Second Lieutenant', and started his career within the military ranks of the Valheru with pride and honor, with his father watching him grow along the way.

Teen

"That boy is either a fool or a genius."

―Shara Aran of the Valheru

Draken was wild an uncontrollable in his teen years. During his training he would often defy the main orders and use his own ways to get the job done. He got praised because of this, but also hated for being the one who took all the attention. He had his own personal squad of friends he had found during the end of his childhood years in the first year of military training.

Dreshan and Rumar were the first two friends he made. He met them during the boyhood trails which made him a Lieutenant. They were both amazed by Drakens natural way of noticing things that they decided to hang around with him. They are twins and known to be quite the troublemakers, if it were not for Draken, they would have been punished for lack of dicipline more than they had actual training.

Dreshan, the older of the two is the smart one, knowing to plot strategies and often adds steps into Draken's plans in order to achieve their goal faster. Ruman is slightly smaller than Dreshan and stronger with running. His wits lie with speed, and can dash easily through twin goatpaths and can run for miles without trouble. He is often used as a messenger or as a scout.

Rashur and Aran were two boyhood friends who joined the three boys later on. Rashur was a son of a blacksmith within the city, and knew about various metals and armors. He was the one who kept the equipment in top shape and often came with new equipment ideas to help ease Draken's strategies. Aran was the son of a farmer outside the city walls. He has been carrying heavy objects ever since he was able to stand and is the strongest one within the group. If there was something heavy to lift, he was the one to ask.

Yren and Frenar were two outsiders, coming from the neighboring villages of Gradur and Grewen, which both were south-east from Erundwyr. They both have a passion for stealth, as is custom by the inhabitants of those villages. They can't have a large guard force to guard the village as it would make them an easy prey. They have a daywatch and a nightwatch which lie hidden within the lands surrounding it, unseen by the normal eye, they are the natural masters of camouflage.

The last two boys were from the capital city of Erasiël, a trade system that allowed few boys from Erundwyr to be traded with Erasiël so that the knowledge was spread evenly. Reman and Archan were their names. They were both from a different class and standard and had a hard time fitting into Draken's group as they often defy him. Although Draken has a hight sense of leadership and low tolerance in doing what he must, he does appreciate the two from keeping him at bay sometimes. Reman uses common sense to judge things aside from how Draken sees things while Archan uses logic to predict next strategic moves.

All in all, the 9 boys became close friends and covered mission after mission, earning credit along the way. On their final mission they found an advanced scouting party of a large Valkyri army making its way through Valheru lands towards Erundwyr. It is then when they found out that a large army of Valkyri was on the move towards the Citadel city and had to warn the neighboring villages, the Silivren Amlug and the city itself.

Adulthood

"Your Destiny will not end with death..."

―The Oracle

Draken as a young adult

Draken reached the Citadel city in time and warned the Shara Aran about the incoming Valkyri army and prepared a defensive perimiter. Though the young leader was an adult for a short time, he was already treated like one. He used his strategic skills to set up a reliable defensive perimeter around the city, using trenches in different shapes to break their lines, and small wooden towers from which longbow archers could quickly take their targets out.

Behind the towers were barricades, tree trunks with spikes pointing outwards to keep the Valkyri at back, with swordsmen and archers behind them in care they broke through the trenches and towers. Young men ran through the trenches with sacks of water, bread and cheese to supply the men.

As a last possible line of defense, the city was emptied. The women and children were led into the mountains in the back of Erundwyr. These hollow mountains were the highlighted feat of the city. It was there where the Dragons were born and base of the absent Silivren Amlug, the elite Dragon Riders. When the city was completely deserted, archers were placed on top of the roofs, with wooden boards between them where they can quickly run over and remove when they were trapped on the roof itself. This way they turned the whole city into a fortress. Another strategic point was the second citadel wall, which was placed around the city's castle. Within these wall were archers stationed, who could fire their arrows through thin lines in the wall itself, allowing them to aim properly, but outsiders couldn't even imagine hitting them.

When Draken oversaw the strategic strongpoints and used his insights to improve them, he was suddenly summoned by the Shara Aran, who advised Draken to see the Oracle, as she had him summoned to her hut to the west of the city. He went there straight away, not wishing to miss the great battle to defend his beloved Erundwyr. The Oracle told Draken of his fate, of his worst fears. And in the end she presented him the tool to erase those fears. The Valheru Sword of Darkness, forged by the first Oracle with the capability to hold the spirit of the one whose destiny it is to wield it. The Oracle also chanted a verse to Draken, his destiny.

"Forgotten memories of ages past,

Future holds no apple of kin.

Seen as the ultimate sin,

None of us shall last.

Young and forsaken,

Sought and taken.

One shall master your strength.

For time holds no pace,

On your dying race,

Not through the ultimate length.

One will take all,

Large and still small,

This cannot be undone,

When your dying day be,

You will too see,

Two of one kind shall be one."

Death

"The Talon of Elariël, Valheru Sword of Darkness, stand here silently, testament to one of the greatest Valheru Warriors. "

―Draken's Tombstone, where the Valheru Sword of Darkness was held

Draken upon seeing his father's arrival.

Draken took the words of the Oracle with him in his heart and mind as he moved back towards the battlefield. After a few days the situation looked grim. The defensive lines in front of the city had fallen and the Valkyri were at the city gates, trying to break through. With newfound courage after his meeting with the Oracle and the knowledge that his father, along with the Silivren Amlug, would arrive soon, he took a group of two hundred men and charged through the city gates to meet the enemy Valkyri host head on.

Hours went by and his numbers ran thin, wave after wave of Valkyri warriors were smashed upon Draken and his men, who were now only thirty men strong. Suddenly, at dawn of the next day, the Silivren Amlug appeared under leadership of his father and smashed through the first lines of Valkyri soldiers and made a perimeter around the broken city gates. Drakens father brought grim news about another regiment marching to be added to the already massive Valkyri army, nullifying the numbers the Valheru warriors killed off so far. With pain in his heart his father claimed the city of Erundwyr to be lost and called all Valheru warriors to retreat to the capital city, where the Valheru main army already amassed and was ready to counter the Valkyri onslaught

The young Valheru adult felt infuriated, anger and rage taking the better off him and he leaped into the Valkyri host as the Silivren Amlug attacked as well to buy the city time to evacuate. While he fought with everything he had, his squad was overwhelmed and even Draken was slain within the battle. His father retrieved his son and heard his last words, to have his Valheru Sword of Darkness to be kept at the Capital City for safekeeping, as the next one who shall wield the blade be the one who will bring him back into the world.

And so, Draken's spirit left his body and was sealed within the legendary blade.

Known Hosts

"What is this? A Sword? This will bring me a fortune..."

―The Lone Man

File:Ylithwarbannerqq7.gif

Draken's Drageneral Warbanner (by Tyren)

Vykor Sha'id

Vykor was the last Valheru host to ever wield the Valheru Sword of Darkness. Though Draken was not reborn into the body of Vykor during that time. He chose to linger into Vykors mind and learn what had changed during the time. The Valkyri were near extinction and there were strange vessels hanging in the sky. This dawned the day that the Old Republic was formed and found Shi purely per accident and took interest of it due to it's minerals and other supplies it could bring.

During Vykor's lifetime, Draken witnessed how the Valheru were mostly wiped off of the face of Shi, and when even Vykor himself died due to this, he vowed himself to take revenge to the Republic for what they have done, and silently waited, gathering more information when the 'Lone Man', a man who wore a mask to cover his face and identity.

The Lone Man

Years after Vykor, the Lone Man took the Valheru Sword of Darkness from Shi and took it with him. He was a space pirate and a smuggler, and would often go to deserted planets to look for lost treasures, like the Valheru Sword of Darkness. He wanted to sell the sword originally but Draken's spirit, who was silently lingering in the man's mind made him choose not to sell the blade and carry it around with him.

This way, Draken used the Lone Man as his guide through the still alienated galaxy. They were on board various ships through the yeard and Draken learned how the 'aliens' fought. With blaster rifles from a distance trying to hit each other. It was without honor - Draken thought within himself. As a smuggler, the Lone Man also had access to special information and goods that wouldnt normally be found anywhere on legal markets. Draken became familiar with the scenery and figured out a way to deceive the aliens, a nice trick to remember. However, Draken knew he would need more than just a smuggler if he wanted to gain his revenge upon losing his race. In a final note he made the Lone Man bring the sword back to Shi where he found it and left the Sword of Darkness in solitude upon the planet of Shi.

Ylith

Thousands of years later, at twenty-four years after the battle of Yavin, Ylith found one of the Valheru scrolls inside the Shadow Academy library. Though he was only a Jedi Hunter back then, the stories involving the Valheru always entrigued him. He would spent hours upon hours inside the library reading and deciphering scrolls and writings that were found on black markets or found by coincidence on other planets.

He finally took the trip to Shi, flying through the Emerald Veil with a small shuttle to avoid exposure to too much radiation and he found the Valheru Sword of Darkness among the ruins of the Capital City. He took the blade back to the Dark Brotherhood, and Draken, once more, lingered inside the mind of the young Dark Jedi, want watched him evolve into a powerful warrior. Upon seeing this, Draken used the Sword's powers to slowly alter Ylith's body from Human into Valheru, and ready for Draken to take over.

When Ylith reached Obelisk Templar, Draken made his move and took over Ylith's body, and with it, Ylith's mind turned to the background, lying dormand, accepting Draken's powers.

Dark Jedi

"The Force...magic?...Is what is their strength?"

―Draken Dormant

Draken-Korin Elariël

Draken found himself in slumber for another two-thousand years before he suddenly was found by one he hoped for. A Dark Jedi set foot upon Valheru soil and the Obelisk Jedi Hunter carefully approached the flaming Valheru sword. Draken saw this as the prime oppertunity to extend his powers, but before he made his move he had to be carefull, not acting to fast. He knew enough about the Jedi and the Sith to ensure that they both knew how to block minds entering their own. Draken entered Ylith Romanae's mind and waited, watching for the time to strike.

During the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, or also known as the Battle for Coratua IV, The Dark Jedi was hit and handicapped by a tank shell, losing his arm in the process. During this time of weakness Draken saw a prime opertunity to enter and take Ylith's body as a host for his spirit. However, the Jedi Hunter fought back, and with the honour shown, Draken saw that he could be a great ally to his cause. Ylith's fascination about the Valheru Race was enough for Draken to sign a pact.

New Beginning

"Aid me ancient spirit, for together we are more powerful than any other..."

―Ylith

To this day, Draken-Korin now controls Ylith Romanae's body and named himself Draken-Korin 'Ylith' Elariël Romanae, to celebrate a fuse between two mighty beings. Though Draken can never get the revenge he wants, he can however seek out to destroy those weaker than him. Those without honour would not stand long in his path, and Draken now resides in House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow. Where he fights in honour of his extinct and forgotten race, to live once more.

Neverending Search

Now, Draken's search continues as he finds clue's of his past. The Valheru took part in a mission to seek out and retrieve a missing Frigate, stolen from the docks of his own Clan Base. With his new found powers and knowledge, Draken easily finds a way to stop the menace of biological warfare together with his brothers of war. Though the Dark Jedi way is a modern way, the Dragonlord still finds ways to push himself back into the past but his knowledge and memories served him well.

Curse

Draken's Cursed Arm

Though immortality came as a blessing for the young Valheru, it also delivered a curse to attone to his sins. The host's body would get a desease which will cause the body to react onto the alianated cells. Causing his body to degenerate more rapidly than normal. The degeneration has already begun and is known by blackened vein like marks on his skin. His right arm has already startted to show these 'veins of death' and Draken now uses the power of the Dark Side to slow down and eventually stop this curse from spreading over his entire body, eventually killing his host and confining his spirit again.

Change of Order

"My very being has changed, therefore my Order must as well..."

―Draken-Korin 'Ylith' Elariël Atema

Draken soon grew more stronger in his role as a Dark Jedi, and even while he still is a true warrior at heart, the power of leadership and command took hold of his interest once more. While a famous general in his time, Draken now stands only a minor officer within the ranks of the Brotherhood. Nonetheless, the Valheru now converted into a Sith, opening a new world and new ways for him to grow into leadership and commanding positions. Draken simply bides his time untill it is his time to reign again at the general's seat once again.

Family Reunion - Vong War

Reunion

"These dreams haunt me since childhood..."

―Tyren Atema

Though Draken had taken hold of Ylith's body, he still had his memories and spirit with him, and so Ylith's past was linked with him as well. Though Draken thought about this before, he wasn't ready for the events that would change him within this Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. When training on Antei, Tyren came to visit Draken in a plead for help and guidance. He had nightmares about a terrible event. He sees twin brothers playing and then violently torn away from each other due to warfare. 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. And even while Ylith's genes were partially reformed into Valheru ones, the DNA of both Ylith and Tyren matched perfectly, even so perfectly that they were considered twin brothers.

Sanctuary Holocron

"A place for the weary and the weak, take light in heart and Dantooine is what you seek..."

―Sanctuary Holocron

Both Dark Jedi embraced this fact and startted their quest to find out the true history of their youth, they ended their search on the planet Byss, 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.

Vong Invasion

"Draken-Korin 'Ylith' Elariël Atema...MIA"

―Dlarit Officer

During the start of the Vong invasion, the Sith was absent from most of the clan, but in secrecy he was trying to fend them off as much as possible. During the war, Draken stood vast along the front lines fighting the Vong off as much as he could. He startted out in a squad of fifty men under his command, at the end of the first day, this very number was halved. Even Draken himself had a hard time dealing with these strenge creatures. As a Valheru, his strength was unmatched by any of the humanoids he has crossed before, but the Vong were a whole other story. At the eve of the second day at the front, Draken's entire squad laid dead amount the field, and the organic growth the Vong used as weapons cut his escape route. It did not take long for other members to recon, he was dead.

My Cup Overflows...

"Beware the blade of blue flames..."

―Vong Warrior Translated

Draken was caught by the Vong not soon after, and in a final move of wits, he took hold of his famed blue flaming sword and broke free at the last possible moment. Chased by force sensitive dog like creatures and heavily crippled by the Vong's advanced weaponry, Draken soon found himself hunted down. The Vong who finally caugth up with him smiled and gazed upon him with blackened eyes, his skin stretching as he did. The Valheru mustered all the strength he had left and charged.

...With my Blood

"I will break him..."

―Vong Warrior Translated

The attack was in vain, the Vong simple blocked the attack and fought the Valheru off. As the Valheru wanted to attack again, the Vong threw some organic weapon onto Draken's Metal arm, as it burned it's way through the metal, it suddenly exploded throwing Draken back against the wall, losing his arm in the progress. Draken slowly lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was flashes of light before he fell.

A soul torn

"Will he survive?"

―Tyren Atema

In the last events at the front line, the Dark Jedi was saved from the Vong by a squad of Dlarit Troopers and taken to the medical bay on the Covenant as soon as possible in order to save his life. Heavily wounded and fighting for his life, the Sith was placed into a huge bacta container, hanging on various tubes and strings, both ejecting various medicine's into his body as robotic arms controlled by robot doctors to repair the torn muscles and skin tissue. It took three full days for the Dark jedi to recover inside the tube of bluish fluid. The bubbles of pure oxigen that flowed through the thick blue mass cleaning the skin and wounds gently while making it's way up to the top. Slowly the Sith regained it's consciousness, only to find out something was terribly wrong. His eyes were blue, his muscle tissue normal and his thoughts his own. Draken, was no longer present in his mind. Ylith has returned.

Return of the Dormant Spirit

"I have returned, broken, torn, now all there is left is vengeance..."

―Ylith Atema

Ylith, now fully healed in the hospital bay, plans to find his sword back, now probably in the hands of the Vong. He does not know who exactly has it or what the Vong will do with it. However, as he knows Draken, Ylith knew that the Valheru spirit would enter his life once more sooner or later.

While he took rest from the Vong War, he felt that the Curse the Spirit of Draken left upon him startted the increase in growth and in the pain it caused. This, together with the mental wounds that were left when Draken was violently torn out from his mind, caused Ylith to retreat back into his own quarters, locking himself up for weeks, forging the Medusa Blade in the progress, the blade being forged with his emotions as a metal. The Blade symbolizes his anger, rage, pain and sorrow and he kept wielded it as long as his quest to reclaim the power that was so ruthlessly taken from his was restored.

Valheru Legacy Reborn

Bloodline Reborn

"I may be able to whip up a thing or two...heehee!"

―Mononoke 'Macron' Keibatsu

Curse; Reckoning

After Draken left Ylith's body, the genes within his body startted to return to their normal state and form. Back to becoming human genes from before Draken turned to Ylith and made him a Valheru. Though the mutation of the bodycells did make Ylith a Valheru, in recent studies it was clear that Ylith was far from being a pure blood Valheru. While Ylith's body returned to it's normal state, the Curse placed upon his body when Draken turned him into a Valheru too a turn for the worst. It startted spreading rapidly and if Ylith wouldnt become a Valheru again, he'd die due to the cause of it as the Curse slowly decayed his own body. After discovering this, Ylith researched a way to release the curse placed on him by Draken's forbidden alchemy and to make a pure blood Valheru out of himself. He found the answer in a relic weapon he found a few months ago, The Amlug Aral Dagger.

Within the ceremonial dagger was a vial of pure Valheru blood, hidden within the steel of the very blade itself, it was conserved for millenia within the alloyed metal and became the perfect solution to Ylith's genetic desease.

New Bloodline

Under the supervision of Consul Macron Keibatsu Goura himself, Ylith underwent an alchemy treatment to replace and genetically alter his blood and with it, his own bodycells. He was placed into a Spaarti Container within the Covenant and underwent a seven hour long treatment to gain back his lost Valheru strength.

Ylith's own blood was fused with the blood found in a vial hidden inside the Amlug Aral Dagger and together with mutagenetic chemicals ensured a fusion of the blood types. This created a new bloodline of Valheru genes, one that could mean a rebirth of the Valheru race in the future. After the transfusion Ylith was vast asleep for three full days to reccover only to find the Covenant heading back to the Orian system, where the True Brotherhood had attacked and took over.

Valheru Equation

"The two of one kind shall be one..."

―Oracle

Symbiotic

When Draken had left Ylith's body, the Sith locked himself away from the others to try to restore his own mind in complete solitude. During this time he forged the Medusa Sword using all the emotions released within him when he was all alone within his quarters. When his curse was removed from him by the miracles of Macron's Alchemy, Ylith had another cause of pain.

Ylith had sharp pains all over his body, which felt like stabs or slashes and even felt like his skin was burned off while physically nothing really happened. While Ylith learned to use the Force to supress these random outbursts of pain he figured that there was still a symbiotic bond between him and Draken, sharing pain and other emotions. Though this particular feature was never acknowledged.

Oracle of Destiny

Ylith got a vision while ensnared by a huge wave of pain before being fully rid of it. In the vision he noticed that 'Shi' was written in blood onto an organic wall. Following the call of his vision, he took the earliest shuttle out of the Covenant Hangar Bay and returned to the planet Shi.

When he landed on the planets surface he began walking towards ancient ruins of the once citadel city of Erundwyr. He moved through the ruins, blackened by fire and withered by time. Slowly, plant life began anew upon the planets surface, and some revived between the remnants of a once proud citadel. While walking through the ruins he suddenly felt reality fading away, and he was visited by the spirit of the Oracle, a wise Valheru woman who could predict future events. The same woman who gave Draken his legendary sword millenia ago.

The Oracle explained to Ylith why she was still there, to guide the one who shall rekindle the Valheru fire into his true Destiny, like she told Draken his own Destiny similar to Ylith's.

“When your dying day be,

You will too see,

Two of one kind shall be one.”

Were the words she said, the same as Drakens, and when he had learned his destiny, a deep crooked voice awoken him from his trance and Ylith found himself back again among the ruins, with a large figure before him.

Draken corrupted by the Vong

Legacy's End

"The pain has brought me salvation and power, power you worthless Sith do not share!"

―Vong Draken

Draken appeared before Ylith, in a Vong body torn and wounded, as the Vong normally looked. It seemed that the Vong's own mind however had a strong influence on Draken, corrupting his spirit and turning Draken against Ylith. The Sith Battlemaster used all his strength to fight Draken and was heavily wounded in the progress. Ylith has both his eyes cut out, his synthetic arm destroyed, his legs both broken underneath a pile of rubble and in the end his connection with the force shattered.

Just before Draken wanted to give Ylith the final blow, the Sith used his remaining strength to use his lightsaber to sever the Valheru Sword of Darkness, severing it into three pieces with one single attack, killing the Vong in the progress. When this happened, Draken's spirit returned into Ylith's body instead of the Valheru Sword of Darkness.

Ylith was retrieved from Shi by the shuttle that brought him there, along with the severed Valheru blade and returned him to back to the Covenant where he was brought to the Medical bay in a deep Coma.

Valheru Reborn

The wounded Sith was held on a bed to be closely watched by medical droids, while his physical form was stable, though still heavily damaged by the battle, it was Ylith's Spirit which was damaged the most. Tyren called Devani with him to watch his brother's condition and found that there were not one, but two spirits within the Valheru. Macron Goura Keibatsu, still Consul of Clan Naga Sadow at the time, made notes of Ylith's situation and searched for a way to heal his body back to normal using the lost arts of Alchemy.

Sildrin Sadow, the Seneschal of the Brotherhood and one of Ylith's dearest friends took the first shuttle from her active duties to visit him. To him, she was his Master, though he got to know her truly when he already was knighted, it was she who taught him the true meaning of the Dark Side when he came to Clan Naga Sadow years ago. She used her powers as a Krath to restore Ylith's severed connection to the Force, and also to recall Ylith's latest memories to find out what exactly happened. She too saw the struggle of the two spirits within the Valheru.

Macron returned with a solution, he would create a lifeless clone, or a 'Husk Clone' to grow the bodyparts Ylith lost during his battle. With his connectiong to the Force restored his spirit startted to live again, and the two entities eventually fused into one single being. Draken and Ylith were no more, one new person with the combined strength, personality and memories appeared as Ylith's host spirit. Though still called Ylith, his personality changed drastically and his knowledge grew with the milennia of memories Draken had witnessed while with the Valheru Sword of Darkness.

Eventually Macron startted his operation, and not only restored the limbs severed from his body, but also managed to replace Ylith's eyes and Synthetic arm, granting him a new body. Renewed and stronger than ever, Ylith now stands ready with the rest of the forces from Clan Naga Sadow to defeat any obstacle in their way.

A New Life

The Cold

"The mighty Valheru afraid of a little cold?"

―Jade Imperial

After Ylith regained most of his strength after the large battle to reclaim the long lost Valheru Sword of Darkness, he was appointed leader of the Night Hawks Battleteam, an elite team of Dark Jedi within the halls of House Marka Ragnos. He lead the team well, bringing victory after victory with countless battles against the various warriors of the galaxy. He shown strength and courage, taught honor to his members and showed them to be great. He wasn’t just a leader, he was considered one of them, a friend and a fellow Dark Jedi.

Ylith was sent on a special mission to Hoth and was accompanied by Jade Imperial, one of the Dark Jedi Knights in his battleteam. She was a stranger to him, though he worked close with his members, she remained on the background and never talked to Ylith a lot. They needed to find signs of Vong on Hoth, and if there were Vong, to see how much they knew and what they were planning to do. Ylith, as a Valheru, has a weakness for cold and had to stay inside more than outside. But with Jade to watch his back, he could extend his time to its limits and often came back to the main camp with hypothermia but with Jade’s help he was able to get back into shape for the next day.

There they started talking to each other during the time Ylith warmed his cold blooded body back up and they talked about his species and Ylith found out more about her and her past. It didn’t take long until a serious mission was filled with pranks and jokes and Ylith and Jade founded a great friendship.

They were sent on more missions together, most of them to various planets to keep an eye out for the Vong, there they grew closer to each other and eventually the two fell in love and Jade moved in with Ylith and have been together ever since.

Proposal

"Thats not how it's supposed to go..."

―Jade Imperial

Jade Imperial Atema

During their time together off duty they made frequent visits to the planet Shi, the ancient home world of the Valheru, where they would take walks through the ruins of the city of Erundwyr, Draken’s birthplace and the place where Draken died. He told her all the stories and she was fascinated by it and every time as Ylith was gone for business for Ashura or the clan as the Night Hawks leader, Jade would in secret visit the planet and search through the ruins for an artifact to give Ylith as a gift. Eventually Jade found the perfect gift for Ylith, hidden deep within what was left of the hollow mountains behind the city of Erundwyr, Jade found a fossilized dragon egg and gave it to him as a present, shocked to see that the egg was still intact Ylith was truly amazed by this finding and he vowed to her to take great care for it.

A few months later, they visited the planet of Shi once more. Ylith heard various reports of Vong activity near the planet’s region and decided to see to it that the heirloom of the Valheru was well protected. Jade joined Ylith as he went to his home planet to search for Vong activity, against his wishes, she followed him and he accepted her help eventually after a lot of persuasion with a lightsaber. After a few days of searching they found a Vong outpost within the city of Erundwyr, hidden within it’s ruins, and even though it was only a small scouting group, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

Ylith couldn’t stand the Vong filth to invade his home and in his rage he went to fight them alone, telling Jade to stay away from the fight to keep her safe. He fought them by first scattering the Vong group into single members and picking them off one by one. They were eventually defeated by the Sith Battlemaster but Ylith had not seen one Vong still standing and was knocked down by the Vong Warrior. Jade, who was searching for Ylith, saw this and ran to him as fast as she could trying to help him, then in a flash Ylith stabbed his sword through the Vong and into Jade’s stomach. She as heavily wounded and Ylith took her back to the shuttle they came in and tended to her wounds.

On the way homewards Ylith tended to her wounds and stayed with her, and eventually when she woke up he vowed to never letting the same thing happen again. He promised to protect her the best he could ever do and proposed to her. Jade accepted and is now Ylith’s fiancée.

Betrayal

"Beware the blade of blue flames..."

―Bounty Hunter

Jade and Ylith were engaged and all was right. They lived together in his quarters and startted planning their wedding. But Jade's past still haunted her and when Ylith persuaded her to tell him what happened he was determined to help her get rid of the Bounty Hunter who was searching for her and planned a way to lure him to Mos Eisley, or what was left of it, and kill him. However, Jade was afraid, she didnt want her fiancee involved in the happenings from her past and divised a plan to leave the Brotherhood and Ylith behind, even it would break her own heart in the progress.

Her fiancee however had learned of her plan and divised his own plan to keep her at bay and strike a wound into the Bounty Hunter far deeper than he had first in mind. So when Jade travelled with Ylith to Tatooine she found herself bound to her chair, not able to move. Ylith told her he wanted the money that was offered to capture her in order to rebuild part of the planet of Shi, his homeworld, and would turn her in. Shocked by this betrayal Jade locked herself up within her mind and when Ylith made his move and killed one of the Bounty Hunters and disabled their ship with his lightsaber it was too late, Jade's spirit was locked and her memories were gone.

Ylith took Jade back to Ragnos Cathedral and explained everything that happened. He was filled with guilt and agony and Jade couldnt remember anything, just feelings and emotions that dawned to her subconsciously, like her engagementring and her feelings for Ylith. It was not untill Jade took hold of Ylith's cursed Medusa sword that all her memories came back to her and when they did she unlocked the curse within the Medusa blade, and Ylith had to break it in order to prevent it from happening. Jade knew everything now, even what Ylith had done and she was relieved that she was still with him and in the Brotherhood and she was given the Medusa blade, as a reminder of her strength and as a gift from her fiancee to protect hetself.

Jade asked Ylith what he had done with the credits he received from the Bounty Hunter and told her he left it on Tatooine and forgot about it. Jade was furious and before she could even release her anger at her fiancee she was suprised to see a necklace in his hands for her. The Darkened Stone she called it and it's jewel was made by a shard from Ylith's prized Valheru Sword of Darkness, treated with alchemy to give it the looks of a Jewel. Jade forgive Ylith and she still wears the necklace this very day.

Repeated Past

"There is more behind the story..."

―Draken Elariël

The Sith Battlemaster travelled to Shi, to search his home city of Erundwyr for a perfect place to marry and stumbled upon a sanctuary hidden between the keep and the Dragon Mountains, the hollowed out mountains behind the city serving as nests for the Dragon Mounts the Valheru rode upon. It was a small meadow with a small waterfall coming from the Dragon Mountains, pouring down, uneffected by the ages it was so brutally scarred and flowers thought lost were still in bloom, a clear sign the planet was not fully dead yet. Suddenly the Valheru was struck by hidden memories of Draken.

Draken visited the place with his fiancee Morwiën, who died when the Valkyri stormed the city after he vowed to protect it. Draken died at the front gates and after that the city was cleared, but she remained, sitting at that very meadow, awaiting her loved one's return, but never came. The memories haunted Draken and he regretted it ever since.

Ylith vowed he would do things right and eventually he managed to get everything together for the wedding, and only a few weeks later they would wed on the planet Shi within the newly renamed 'Sacred Meadow'

Marriage

"Be wary my Apprentice, these things wont last..."

―Xia Long

The Marriage took place within the meadow, the same place where Draken used to spend his time with Morwiën. The place was decorated with a white gateway, covered in black roses where the couple would stand in. Ashura Isradia, who was present to preform the wedding, stood in front of them, with the waterfall behind him. There were only two guests present during the wedding, Ylith's twin brother Tyren Atema and Ylith's Master in the Dark Arts and Seneschal Xia Long. There they took hands and Ashura bound them in marriage, using words from his own homeworld.

And from that day forth Ylith swore to protect her and keep her safe from harm as much as he could. He is a cold and ruthless warrior at heart but only for Jade did he allow himself to feel emotion and love. It was only her voice that would be allowed to hold him back should he ever be enraged. On that day he vowed his life to her, and she promised to take care of him and love him forever and to stay with him whatever happens, also to announce that she was with child.

Shattered Glass

Heir to the Valheru Bloodline

"A new line has been born, Heir to the Elariël and Atema Bloodline..."

―Ylith Atema

Jade's pregnancy wasnt an easy one and full on complications. Due to her half human and half vampiric physique combined with the fact that the child she carried also was half Valheru made things even worse. Though her human half didnt make things bad and even helped, it was her darker side that made the complications, as they lived in generations, where if they give birth they will die so that the next generation may live.

Also, with the half-Valheru being cold blooded, growing within a warm blooded host was also very painfull, which made it move a lot and made Jade more sick than healthy. She had a rough time, only the force helping her bear with the pregnancy as the child grew within her, and after nine months she went into labor.

During that time the Valheru Battlemaster tried hard to search for a cure and he did find it through modern science. A team of medical surgeons hired by the Dlarit Corperation were brough to the Marakith Skyhook, where they operated on Jade for almost 24 hours trying to get the baby from her and stop her inherited genes from killing off her body at the release. After a few heartstops the surgreons managed the impossible and allowed her to survive, giving birth to a healthy son, Aragan Atema.

Uncle

"Whose leg do I need to hump to get a drink..?"

―Robert Atema Daragon, also known as 'Bob'

After Aragan's birth, Ylith spent most of his time within his quarters on the Marakith Skyhook together with Jade and his newborn son. Jade was resting most of the time while the Valheru worked from the office just aside his quarters, while he would walk back to spend time with his son.

One night Tyren came to visit them and another unexpected member joined him, Robert Daragon. Appearantly the Sith Battlelord had found out that Jarreth Atema, Ylith's and Tyren's father, was his half brother, making the elder member an Uncle to both Ylith and Tyren. After finding out about this Robert Daragon, also known as Bob, renamed himself to Robert Atema Daragon, as a sign he accepted his bloodline and would join his nephews in the family.

Attack on Telos

"Ylith and Draken are one...yet there is still a scar..."

―Ylith Atema

File:Worldship.jpg

The Vong Worldship

Ylith was called to the Temple of Orian, where most of Clan Naga Sadow had already gathered. Rumors were brewing and none of them were anything the Valheru would like to hear. He then went to the command center, where a meeting of Naga Sadow's Inner Order would take place. Within the room Consul Caerick showed a treat that made all the nasty rumors pale away in comparison, a Vong World Ship was heading towards the Telos System.

The Ship itself could be compared to the Death Star of old, a huge moon like organism that floated through the vacuum of space, with long limps circling around it, upon which Coral Skippers were mounted on. Being a direct treat to the Clan and Brotherhood as a whole, the Consul devised a suicidal plan that would either destroy the Worldship and Clan alltogether, or render the Worldship useless.

The Clan fleet would attack the sword ship from its dark side while the Republic Star Destroyer Final Way would fly in with the sun behind it and drop the members of Naga Sadow onto the World ship, and drop the Nachzerer as a large brick through the first few layers of the Worldship. As a secondary option, the members inside the Nachzerer would plant a gas poison bomb deep inside the Vong Ship, should the main plan fail, it would destroy the Vong Worldship, and the members of Naga Sadow with it.

The main plan however, would be even more insane than planting a single bomb, The main plan was for the main group to move deep into the World Ship and take out the large Yammosk 'World Brain' to destroy the ship from the inside out. The plan was reckless and insane but eventually the Clan, even Overlord Tron, saw no other option and allowed the plan to happen.

Shattered Glass

"You can't feel a damn thing through the Force can you?"

―Tyren Atema

When Ylith arrived upon the World Ship through a drop pod, he was disorientated and thrown off guard, he landed on the surface, a bio dome where various plants and bushes grew and were as hostile as the Vong themselves. Shortly after the Nachzerer crashed right in front of him, seperating him from the rest of his clanmates by a huge hole, moving 15 levels deep into the World Ship. Ylith thought best to move down and moved through the corridors made of flesh and coral, trying to make his way to his peers.

After hours of wandering alone, he met up with Tyren and Jade, to find the main group within the slave quarters. There Ylith found another Valheru, one made a slave by the Vong a few years back. The Sith was suprised to meet a fellow Valheru, seeing as he is the only Pureblood left, and he spoke with him, finding out he was kidnapped from a new home planet before the Valheru slave died by the hands of a Rodian, who in his turn, died by the hands of Ylith. When Darth Vexatus commented him, Ylith attacked him with his blade, only to be caught by the Force wielded by the Dark Prophet and his mind crushed without even a moments notice, rendering the Battlemaster senseless for a few minutes, leaving an anger towards the Darth which grew every minute.

Moving the conversation he had with the Valheru Elder into the back of his mind, the Elders Darth Vexatus and Master Caerick found a Vong guide, a shamed Vong Priest by the name of 'Eshin Shul' and she guided the group of Dark Jedi through the halls of the Worldship.

Before they went, Tyren called out through the Force to Ylith, finding his brother unresponsive and through this minor event, Tyren found out Ylith had lost all connection to the Force, rendering him weak. Tyren confronted Ylith with it, in front of the Journeymen and the Valheru overcame his shame and acknowledged his weakness, his mind was shattered.

The Yammosk 'World Brain'

Jackpot

"Remember what we used to say...?"

―Tyren Atema

After fending off Voxyn, Vong Priests and Vong Warrior Elites, the group of Jedi stumbled upon the World Brain, a huge Yammosk that was the heart of the World Ship. The Yammosk attacked, seperating the group of Dark Jedi from the two Elders, Darth Vexatus and the Consul Trevarus, by using it's tentacles to collapse the ceiling above the entrance. After twenty minutes of constant fighting and fending off the hundreds of tentacles the Yammosk had, the Valheru called the entire group together and they pushed onto the Yammosk. While most of them were pushed back, both Ylith and his brother Tyren were able to move onto the main body, using their swords to slash through the beast.

While they did they were suddenly caught by the tentacles and pulled away from the main body, they were both thrown off guard and dropped their sword at the suddenly grip. Then they both gazed upon a huge eye in the center of the large beast. Tyren took hold of his guns but one was dropped and fell into Ylith's hand. They both grinned and fired simultaniously, hitting the eye of the Yammosk.

As the Yammosk was heavily wounded, it went into rage and slammed into the walls and ceiling of the basin it stayed in. Minutes before it happened the other team of Jedi already set up the bomb, which exploded and caved into the Yammost, killing it fully and creating a new exit for Ylith's group to escape from.

The Escape

"Be wary my Apprentice, these things wont last..."

―Muz Keibatsu - The Sadow Hand

Ylith collapsed after fighting the Yammosk, the strain upon his body and the lack of the Force was too much to bare and he collapsed, falling onto his knees and unable to move. It was at that very same moment, where simple Journeymen simply dusted off their robes and moved on while he was battered, when he found his handicap hitting hard upon him.

With the help of his Uncle and Brother, Ylith was able to leave the Well of the World Brain and move back to sublevel 15, where the Nachzerer was stationed and ready to move out of the World Ship, which, after the death of the Yammosk, was slowly falling appart as it's organic systems startted to turn against eachother. They found the secondary group of Dark Jedi and the Deputy Grand Master already there, preparing the Nachzerer for takoff, also finding a second ship next to it, belonging to Grand Master Paladin.

Once more confronted by his handicap, as he could not even sense the arrival of a Grand Master, Ylith turned to Muz, the only one in his eyes who would be powerful enough to teach him how to fight without the need of the Force. The Valheru pushed his pride aside and bowed before the Shadow Hand, requesting training in a more noble weapon. The Keibatsu Elder accepted and invited him to the Fallen Spear after they escaped from the World Ship. Tyren smiled at the thought that his brother would actually be able to push aside his pride in search to better himself, and in a way, he was proud.

Ylith helped to prepare the Nachzerer and they flew through the a tunnelway and escaped from it, the battered ship being escorted to the Final Way where Ylith was taken to the medical bay to rest and heal his wounds.

Livion

"I shall live on..."

―Ylith Atema

After the Vong Attack on Telos the Battlemaster reported to Overlord Tron and reported the destruction of the Yammosk 'World Brain', shortly after that he joined the Shadow Hand onto the Fallen Spear and made his way to Kyataru, the homeworld of the Keibatsu family. There he was stripped from his normal robes and weaponry and went dressed in trainee's robes. Muz presented Ylith with a training version of the O-Katana, a long sword version of the regular Katana. It's fighting style required discipline and patience, both of which were needed should he be able to restore his connection with the Force.

Ylith trained fiercely, often completely battered by the insane strength the Deputy Grand Master posessed, but even so his mind was determined to see through the training, and when the Keibatsu Elder went on a mission of great importance to the Dark Council, the Sith would study the ancient ways of forging swords and applying it to his own swordsmithing skills. He would spend three nights in a row, without sleep, working in a forge to apply the various precious metals and durasteel metals into a mud made oven, setting it aflame on the inside, keeping it heating up more and more for days.

The O-Katana 'Livion'

After three full days he destroyed the mud made oven and would look upon the steel, scraping off impurities from the top and take the hardened metal out and hammer it into a thin layer, where he folder it over and startted hammering again, it took him hours to fold it into 9 layers and hammer it into a long streak, from which he hammered the billet into the shape of the blade itself. Ylith then used a mixture of vulcanic ash and clay and coated the sword with it, using a forge to heat treat it and then bathe it into a special oil, creating it's special strenth.

After Muz's return he would train during the day, getting more and more agile with the blade and more skilled, while at night the Sith Battlemaster would take Choiji Oil and use it upon the blade, then using dust gathered from polishing stones to polish the blade itself, spending hours upon hours on cleaning and sharpening the blade.

Weeks after he startted training with Muz, he finally assembled the rest of the blade, also forging a sheath for it that would be just as powerful as the blade itself. He called the O-Katana he forged 'Livion', which closely resembles the sentence 'Live on', the meaning of which focusses upon the Valheru's Handicap. Muz inspected and accepted the blade, giving Ylith his permission to use the own made sword into combat and honor the training he received. Ylith still returns to Kyataru from time to time, to forge some new weapons for the Keibatsu family as a trade for his training, and to polish his skills with 'Livion' against Muz, training harder and more advanced, becoming more skilled by time.

Valheru Sword of Darkness

Draken's Valheru Sword of Darkness

History

The origin of the blade was thought to be a family heirloom, through recent studies of various scrolls and other writings indicate that the Blade was forged out of one single piece of metal, then treated with alchemy and reforged into the Valheru Sword of Darkness. The sword has been said to date even back to before the Valheru even built its capital city - 'Erasiël'.

The Oracle, one of the most powerful women within the Valheru race, kept the sword hidden, she and her daughters after her kept the sword until it was called upon, untill the bluish flames awake from their slumber. When the citadel city of Erundwyr was under attack by the Valkyri armies at the dawn of the Great War of Blessed Tears, Draken was bestowed the legendary blade by the Oracle and with it, was bestowed the gift of immortality, together with a great destiny before him.

Though his weapon was powerful, he did not hold it for long. Hours later while defending the city Draken was slain in battle, and told his father in his dying breath to keep the blade at Erasiël to be kept safe untill one was worthy enough to hold it, and grant him life once more.

Specifics

• The sword has been treated with Alchemy, creating an everlasting blade which can never erode throughout time. The metal is a mixture of special irons and minerals only to be found on the planet Shi. The creates a golden yet metallic shine on the blade itself.
• The bluish flames is also caused by the Alchemy treatment and ensures that those not honourable enough to hold the blade may never hold it. The flames themselves are cool to the touch and are strongly intimidating on the field of battle.
• Another feat is that it can store the spirit of Draken-Korin after his death and re-insert his spirit into the minds of those who are honourable enough to hold to sword in their hands, it's believed that the Alchemy threatment was also infused with the powers of the force to contain the spirit, but it was never fully discovered.
• The sword fell in the hands of the Vong at the end of the Vong War, and the Vong who chose to wield it corrupted Draken's mind and made Draken turn against Ylith. In a final battle on Shi, Ylith managed to sever the sword with his lightsaber, as well severing Draken's tie with the legendary blade, rendering him mortal again and resulting in Draken's mind fusing with Ylith's.

Amlug Aral

The Amlug Aral Dagger

History

The Amlug Aral (Dragonfang) Dagger was one of the prized weapons of the Silivren Amlug. This particular weapon was held by Draken's own father, who was the leader of this elite group of Dragon Riders. The weapon, mostly used for ceremonial reasons had a vial of the carrier's blood inside of it. It was said that only then it could be a true extension of your body, your own flesh and blood.

The Dagger itself was severed by Ylith after Draken had deserted his body at the finale of the Vong War. The Sith Battlemaster used toe prefectly preserved blood, with help from Macron's skills in alchemy, to turn his own blood into that of a Valheru, giving him all the treats of the Valheru, making him a pureblood.

Specifics

• The dagger itself was given to Drakens father as a sign of leadership within the Silivren Amlug, an elite group of Dragon Riders within the Valheru Armies.
• The dagger has survived millenia because of it's special metal mixture. It's the same kind of mixture the Valheru Sword of Darkness was made of, yet more modern. It filtered out all the impurities to create on single metallic shine.
• The dagger now hangs on the wall inside Ylith's private chambers, as a perfectly preserved artpiece from a one powerful species.
• The blade of the dagger holds a vial of Valheru blood, possibly that of Draken's father, as a token of strength.

Ylith's Weapons

Medusa

The Medusa

History

The Medusa blade was forged shortly after the Vong War, after the Valheru Sword of Darkness was taken away by the Vong, severing the link between himself and Draken. During this time, Ylith preferred to live in solitude, pushing himself away from his fellow clansmen to fight his own demons, as his body was heavily weakened and deseased because of the seperation. During this period of pain and loneliness, Ylith began the creation of a blade, one that had all Ylith's despair, loneliness, pain, hate and grief forged into it.

The result of this was The Medusa, a short bladed sword perfect for fast attacks while the hilt was long enough to use it two-handedly for powerful strikes. The sword resembles the inner rage Ylith felt and the emotions that were thought forgotten. Using the teachings from his newly found Master Sildrin Sadow, he locked his emotions into the blade, creating a very powerful weapon in return.

The sword was broken eventually and reforged by Ylith himself to remove the emotions he forged within it and to create the blade anew without the curse of his darkness. Later he gave the sword to his wife to be, Jade Imperial, as an extension of himself to protect her should it be needed.

Specifics

• Jade Imperial now wields this sword.

Duath Sheran Elan

History

Duath Sheran Elan

With his new life begun, Ylith now spent more time in the open and interacted with the fellow clansmen within the House Marka Ragnos, where he met Jade Imperial, and as their bond grew with each day together, things within the Battlemaster changed and he broke the Medusa blade and removed the curse upon it, giving it to Jade afterwards.

However, now swordless, Ylith sought for means to reforge the Valheru Sword of Darkness, he failed utterly and he gave up on ever seeing his prized sword remade. Jade, now living together with Ylith felt his pain and gave him a gift to help him in his search for a new weapon. Jade gave Ylith the materials to build a new sword, as a gift and as a token of her affection for him.

He took the materials given by Jade and started the creation of a new sword, one different than the Medusa blade. As the Medusa blade was broken and remade for Jade, he made the finishing touches to the new blade and made it as powerful as the Valheru Sword of Darkness once was, naming the sword 'Duath Sheran Elan' meaning 'Dark Lady's Fang' in reference to Jade's darker side.

Specifics

• A gift from his Fiancee Jade Imperial
• Contains three types of metal: Black Durasteel, Silver and Gold
• The name 'Duath Sheran Elan' or 'Dark Lady's Fang' is in referral to Jade's darker side.
• Lost after defeating the Yammosk 'World Brain' inside the Vong Worldship during the Vong Attack on Telos.

Livion

History

The O-Katana 'Livion'

The blade is an O-Katana, forged by Ylith himself within the fires of Kyataru under supervision of Muz Keibatsu. The Deputy Grand Master agreed to train Ylith in the use of the weapon to compensate for his lack of a Force Connection. During his training he spent hours upon hours crafting the blade and the sheath its carried in. The blade is made of various mixtures of precious metals and durasteel, creating a very powerful blade with a strength only to be matched by a lightsaber. The handle of the blade had a solid steel core covered with wood, for a more traditional feel, then the wood is covered in a white cloth and tied with leather, for a perfect grip.

The Sheath itself is made out of the same metals as the sword itself, and can be used in combat as much as the actualy blade. During combat Ylith holds the sword in his left hand, draws the blade only when needed, and will sometimes not even bother unsheathing it, using the sheathed sword itself to slam into enemy opponents.

Ylith always has the blade with him, together with his shield.

Specifics

• The Blade has been made under supervision of the Deputy Grand Master Muz Keibatsu
• It is an O-Katana, a long sword version of the regular Katana
• One can fight with the sword sheathed, unsheathed or dual wielded with sheath in left hand.

Lightwave Shield Bracelet

History

File:Ylitharm new.jpg

Lightwave Shield Bracelet

Even though Ylith had his Synthetic Arm replaced by Macron for a new one, he still couldnt live without the protection and combat reliability of the Lightwave Shield anymore. Ylith had gotten used of wielding sword and shield and now his mind was reformed, found a way to recreate his prized shielding.

As his Synthetic Arm itself was lost during the fight agains the Vong Draken, he used one of his earlier Prototypes and reforged it into a bracelet, covering his lower left arm. The principle remained the same, an emitter on top of the lower arm bracelet would emit waves of energy absorbing energy blasts and electric pulses which made the shield 'hard' when in contact with a solid object, like metal or rock.

The Bracelet is powered by small energy cells located at the bottom of the bracer, close to Ylith's arm. And are recharged simply by absorbing the impact energies of blaser fire or by movements Ylith makes with his arms, depending on the situation.

This very day, Ylith wears this bracelet into battle and will be most likely found in the middle of a large enemy army, slaughtering those who oppose him with easy, gladly using the protection the bracelet brings.

Specifics

• Able to deflect blaster fire
• Able to block solid items, like rock and metal
• The Bracelet itself can be used as a dagger like weapon
• Originally part of Ylith's Metal Arm

Profession

Swordsmith

Ylith forging a new blade.

Draken, as a part of the old Valheru Army, specialized himself in the making of weaponry and armor but focussed mainly on swords. During his days in the army he fashioned many different swords for himself, his father and the Silivren Amlug, using various materials like Iron, Steel, Gold, Silver and other various metals found on Shi. After he gained the Valheru Sword of Darkness he only made blades for his fellow soldiers rather than himself and never stopped untill he died.

At the Present, with his Valheru Sword of Darkness broken, Ylith took Draken's knowledge to himself and had made various attempts to reforge the blade, but failed every time as the blade simply fell appart every time it was remade. He couldnt repair his prized blade and he startted to forge new blades to fit his liking. He forged the Medusa blade first, and it stayed with him untill Jade Atema got it from him, to use it to her will and an extension of his power to her. After that he forged the Duath Sheran Elan - The Dark Lady's Fang - and still keeps the blade at his side to this day.

He never stopped with his swordsmithing and keeps building blades for his family and friends and he hopes that someday his skills will rise to a greater level and he will be able to reforge his prized blade once more.

Physical Marks and Scars

Genetic Disease

The Valheru's immortality comes with a price, the fast degeneration of his host body. Draken calls this 'the Curse' and starts with sending black veins over the entire body. When Draken's spirit was severed from Ylith's body at the end of the Vong invasion, the growth of this curse was increasing rapidly over his arm and entire body, causing his lifespan to shorten down to only a few months.

After consulting Macron Goura Keibatsu about the matter, Ylith found a way together with his former Consul to alter his genetics in his blood, and his body along with it, using a vail of ancient Valheru blood hidden within the Amlug Aral Dagger Ylith was able to alter his blood with the help of Macron, and fully remove the curse.

Serpent Eyes

Draken has deep eyes, allowing the shadow to be cast over them most of the time. However, the eyes of the Valheru are like those of a lizard. Long black slids vertical, around them a green/blue iris. This made the Obelisk even more menacing than he already is. a Racial treat is that unlike normal humans, he can see much further and can see easily trough fog or sand storms. It has been said that the lizard like eyes were evolved onto the Valheru species because of their interaction with reptilian species on the homeworld of Shi. The Valheru adapted to their lifestyle and evolved to be stronger, more agile and with more improved senses than the average humanoid species.

Synthetic Arm

A major physical handicap is a metal arm. His biological left arm was lost during a raid on Coratua IV (Obelisk RoS). The arm itself is made of durasteel materials, allowing the wearer to withstand extreme pressure and temprature differences without malfunction of the inner systems. Another feat is that it can be disconnected at the shoulder easily so it can be replaced with another one within a matter of seconds, which has a positive effect on the battlefield.

After the Vong War Ylith became entwined in a large conflict with Draken, who was taken over by one of the Vong who had attacked him during the war, taking the Valheru Sword of Darkness and corruption Draken's spirit. Being mortally wounded and having lost most of his limbs, Macron Goura Keibatsu decided to create a 'Husk Clone' of Ylith and replace the lost bodyparts using the limbs form the lifeless clone. This ensured that Ylith got his normal left arm back, instead of the Synthetic replacement.

Scar

The Sith wears many scars like a slight X like scar above his heart of which he enherited from Ylith. Mostly removed when he reached Equite status. The scar was placed by his Master Ciara during his training. When Ylith reached the status of Dark Jedi Knight and removed himself from the teachings of his former Master, he used medical surgery to remove the scar from his body. However, the scar was infused with the Dark Side and still continues to burn itself into Ylith's skin. Though less obvious than before.

The scar was fully removed by Jade Imperial using special healing techniques used by her kind. Showing that the Sith Battlemaster had grown beyond all weaknesses he had before.

Brotherhood History

• Tarentum

Tarentum

Tarentum

Ylith startted out in Tarentum, joining House Gladius where he was welcomed. He there learned everything the Brotherhood had to offer to him and it was at that place he startted his real Dark Jedi carreer. Ylith worked his way trough the ranks in Gladius and even moved to Battleteam Daemoni, where he took pride and gave loyalty towards Gladius and the Daemoni. There, Frosty and Dox Romanae invited Ylith into their family, the Romanae and became Ylith Romanae, and was bound to have the heritage of leadership of the Daemoni battleteam. After the younger brother Dox Romanae resigned, Ylith found himself in charge of the Battleteam, and so he took honour and pride in being within the Battleteam. Archean and Ylith teamed up to fight for the Phoenix Crest and Ylith saved Archean's life while doing so. This formed a friendship which lasts to present day. Ylith eventually left Tarentum after he defied most of the Tarentae and the Field Marshal, and followed his best friend to Arcona, leaving friends and family.

• Arcona

Arcona

Arcona

When Ylith joined Arcona, he felt himself in the house opposite to Archean's and when he did he thought he would never stand along side his friend again. Under the learning hand of Ma'ar Ga-Tir, Ylith learned the difficult tasks of House Leadership and was happy to help. Archean eventually went to explore the galaxy for himself while Ylith was left alone during this time. He became an Aedile of House Oriens Obscurum and took the job well, but when Ma'ar, the Quaestor of House Oriens Obscurum left. Ylith was left to run the entire House by himself. Inexperienced with leadership and the ever lingering Dark Jedi weakness loomed over the young Dark Jedi. The lust for power, and the gain of power blinded the Obelisk. And while his place was on the battlefield in a Battleteam he found himself trapped in politics and leadership, and lost it mentally, turning against friend and ally to save his house, but his actions backfired as his own people rebelled against him. Ylith eventually moved away from Arcona, fleeing from it all, to seek refuge and forgiveness in Clan Naga Sadow. Hoping to attone for his sins.

• Naga Sadow

Naga Sadow

Naga Sadow

The Obelisk, now moved away from two clans already, now found himself in the merciful hands of Clan Naga Sadow. The Quaestor of Ludo Kressh, Xia Long, took Ylith into her House and gave him shelter to atone for his sins. When he did Ylith took the time to re-arrange himself and once again provide servics to the Clan on his behalf. Ylith now proudly serves Clan Naga Sadow as a token of gratitute. Ylith made friends and even considers his clan family now, and till this day serves Clan Naga Sadow with pride and honour, being forever grateful for the chance given to him. In time, the Dragonlord would rise amoung the ranks of Naga Sadow as he takes place in leadership. Ylith would be assigned to become the Battleteam Leader of Sapphire Squadron. At almost the same time Ylith gladly took his role as Black Guard of his Quaestor Xia Long to protect his Quaestor from every harm to come. His service within the Order of the Black Guard did not take very long, as Xia Long was taken into the Dark Council. To Ylith's regret, he lost his Black Guard status because of that. Ylith eventually moved to House Marka Ragnos where he was appointed to serve as Aedile.
