Star Wars: Breakable Peace.

Cain Sunstrider

Whispering voices darted throughout the Jedi’s mind, all speaking of their joys and sorrows of their everyday lives. Some were travelling on their way to their daily occupation, others were taking care of their children. It was a calm, but bustling day for the everyday passing for the people of Coruscant; causing a smile to stretch across his face. But with this smile, came a break in his concentration of meditating with his former master. Knowing he was sensing it as well, the Jedi Knight removed the emotion and returned to focusing on clearing his mind. After all these years, meditation was still a daily struggle for him as opposed to his skill with a lightsaber. As the voices died away and a stillness came over him, he felt the vast connection of the Force. All the strings, though apart, were connected like tethers to each other. Looking beyond these strings, into the center of himself, he found the clearing of consciousness he knew was a conduit of the Force. While all visualizations of the Living Force differed, for him, the Force appeared similar to a nebula cluster. Finally centering himself in his visualization, the Jedi completed his transition and was connected to the Force as one.

“I seek knowledge with a clearest mind, please give me your infinite wisdom.”

Opening his “inner eye,” a vision came into his new reality and showed him to the near future. He stood alone, surrounded by the blackened husks of fallen trees scarred by flames and blasters. The air smelled of death and decay, enveloped with black smoke and ash. As he began walking, he heard the cries of pain and sorrow; though he knew this is an illusion, it still caused his heart to sink. War was not a simple way to solve disputes and this battlefield was a testament to this. Continuing on his journey, he took into account the charred armor and flesh of fallen people of different species who partook in this conflict. Trying his best to step over their bodies, he couldn’t help to step on someone’s brother or sister who laid dead here. Stopping in middle of the battlefield, he took in the sight of the thousands of bodies that littered the landscape. It was heartbreaking to think that people would do this to one another for a simple grasp of power. That’s when a shadow loomed over him, causing the Jedi to turn to face this shadow; only to find a massive starship above. As it opened its ports, a bright light began emitting from its openings. Shielding his eyes with a hand, he watched as the light vaporized everything into nothing but particles in the vacuum of space. Nothing was left…

“Cain.... You saw and felt it too, didn’t you?” His old master’s voice echoed through his mind.

Returning into reality and the bustle of Coruscant, Cain Sunstrider opened his eyes as he drew back his robe’s hood. Across from him, his former master sat cross-legged on a platform similar to his own, arms crossed and head still lowered. When their eyes met, Cain nodded and finally understood why they were being dispatched into system where this massacre occurred. When he was given his briefing by the council, there was information left out and Master Qin-Lin wanted his former Padawan to understand what had happened. From what Cain could recall, there was not a battle, but a defense from the ship that caused the light of destruction. But what type of ship had the capability to seamlessly destroy a planetary defense and the planet itself? Their mission was to find out what occurred in that system, but Cain knew their real task was to find out what that ship was. The rumble of their transport as it escaped Coruscant’s atmosphere caused the Jedi Knight to stand from his seat and move to the glass that gave view of the stars. Crossing his arms as he tried taking and assessing the information that he just discovered, he was soon joined by Qin-Lin in a similar fashion.

”We have to find out what that ship is and where it came from, you understand this. But, we have a duty to ensure that other systems are protected from this sudden assault. In addition to this, the council has asked me to personally meet with a Sith counselor to gather information. You, however, will continue on to that system and meet with the leaders of their local government. Do whatever you can Cain, but be careful and trust your instincts.” Qin-Lin spoke suddenly.

“I understand Master… You be careful as well. I will do what I can to help in this.” Cain replied.

With all being said, Jedi Master Qin-Lin patted Cain on his shoulder and walked out the room. When silence rejoined him, Cain’s fists clenched in frustration of his inability to protect those people who died. He vowed to not make the same mistake when he arrived to speak with the leaders of the system’s planets. As his anger dissipated, he heard a sinister voice speak within his mind but did not understand its words. Was this the Dark Side tempting him…?

History: Captain Nicholas Grayeson comes from a family of farmers in the pan-handle of Texas, all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Due to this long, illustrious family history: Nicholas knew early on that he would be a member of the military. During his tenure at school, he passed his classes flawlessly and was accepted by his teachers as a natural scholar who would be a vital piece in college. When he arrived to high school, he continued to shine through his academic studies and was a natural leader when playing football for the school. It was also during this time, he enrolled into the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) to get a taste of the military life. Upon graduation as class valedictorian, he announced he would not go into college immediately and was instead going into the military; stunning his teachers, classmates, and family members. Two days later, he signed his contract and was shipped to San Diego for recruit training for the Marine Corps. Like his years in school, Nicholas proved himself as an insightful platoon guide and graduated as the series' honor graduate. From here, he transferred to his follow-on course at Infantry Training Battalion on Camp Pendelton; again graduating as the Honor Graduate. With his last assignment of training, Grayeson reported to Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC) to study in becoming a Reconnaissance Marine.

Upon completion of his follow-on training a year after BRC, Grayeson was assigned to the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion in Okinawa, Japan as his first tour of duty. During his tenure with Third Recon, he traveled all over the Orient and trained with the different countries; while also assisting in seizing and destroying various drug/human trafficking rings. When his team deployed to the Middle East, he learned the different cultures there and rose to the rank of Sergeant (granting him the ability to lead a small-team). It was during his time here, that Nicholas lost his first man and almost his entire team in an improvised explosive device (IED) ambush by local militants. Though they fought off their enemy, this event left a lasting impression of his superiors and some of their bone-headed decisions. Returning to Japan, Nicholas transferred to the First Recon Battalion on Camp Pendelton; continuing on a fast-tracked deployment cycle to the Middle East. This fast deployment rotation, atop of the commendation medals he had garnered, Grayeson was granted a field-promotion to second lieutenant (which was granted full-time after returning state-side). As the years passed, with countless engagements in the Middle East and some in South America (including two more promotions); Nicholas decided to hang-up the uniform and retired early from military service.

Immediately after passing the colors to his replacement, Nicholas was approached by various companies to go into contract work. The work was essentially his previous work, but with better pay and benefits. Taking up the opportunity, he became a contractor for a multi-national agency who didn't care about the political background of their area of operations (so long as they were paid well). This work took him all over the world to new and some familiar places; especially with work in Africa. While working as a security detail for a oil rigging operation in Ethiopia, Grayeson was approached with another opportunity to work with an environmentalist group against the global giant: InGen. It was an odd request, especialy since he had down contract work with the same company they were asking him to work against. But, when the dollars flashed in his face and the dossier on why they contract was being offered; Nicholas got his team together and was on a plane to their rendezvous point to meet their employers. The job was easy: protect their people, do whatever they ask, and get back alive to be paid in full.

Extra: Nicholas is proficient in various forms of martial arts, most prominently in Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) and Japanese Kick-Boxing. In addition to his hand-to-hand prowess, he is extremely handy with all types of rifles and sidearms due to his reconnaissance and contracting history. Grayeson has been known to defy the orders of his superiors and will terminate a contract if the cost outweighs the benefit.

Cain Sunstrider

Cain Sunstrider

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class: Jedi Knight

Alignment: Lawful Good

Current Planet Occupying: Coruscant

Personality: Cain Sunstrider has always strived to place the good of others before himself, giving the impression of a romantic hero of the people. He is totally devoted to the Living Force, seeing it as a means to attain enlightenment through meditation. When not found with the people, Cain can be found in the Jedi Temple meditating on the teachings of Masters past. Though against the Code of the Jedi, Sunstrider does pride himself on his proficiency of lightsaber combat. But through and through, the young Knight is a devout follower of the Jedi way and its principles.

Backstory: Cain Sunstrider was born on to a merchant father and a Grey Jedi mother on Corellia. Though not very rich, his father did all that he could to support his family which eventually led to their transfer to Cain’s new home on Coruscant. At an early age, the boy displayed the aptitude for utilizing the Force when he lifted his toys while playing with other children. Delighted to see her son had the “gift,” she took him under her wing to teach him the ways of the Living Force until he was old enough enroll at the Jedi Academy. Though his father was also happy to see the Force was strong in his son, he was also hesitant to allow his tutelage to begin at the Academy. Having watched his wife suffer for her marriage and birth of their son, Cain’s father thought it would be impossible for his child to become a Jedi.

When Cain was finally of optimum age, he travelled with his mother to the Jedi Temple to speak with his future masters. Standing before the Council of First Knowledge, young Sunstrider passed every test they could throw at him. But before he would be allowed tutelage under the Academy, the masters instructed Cain to break ties with his mother so he would be free of her influence; seeing that Jedi and the Grey Jedi were conflicting ideals. Unable to commit such an act, Cain turned to his mother for guidance and was dumbfounded when she agreed with the masters’ decision. But she also reminded her young boy, that one day he will make his own choices and he will decide his path. Seeing his mother’s wisdom, he bid her and his father goodbye (for now) and went on to become a Padawan.

Years flew by as the boy became a teenager, studying and training to the limitations his being would allow him. His masters took note at his devotion to the Jedi and to the good of the people; granting him the chance to train directly under the travelling master: Qin-Lin Ophine. Under his master’s tutelage, he honed his knowledge and understanding of the Force. Seeing it more than a simple tool to be utilized, but more as the connection to all things and more. With this knowledge, he was able to turn his sub-standard lightsaber skills to near improbable mastery; seeing it as an extension of his arm as his soul was an extension of the Force. Through countless peace meetings and dispute settlements, the teenager became a young man. This would grant his master the ability to recommend Cain to the Jedi Master Council to face the Trials of Knighthood. Upon return to Courscant, Sunstrider was given one last lesson by his master to trust his instincts and he will pass the trials. Taking in the years of knowledge his master passed on to him, Cain strode into the chambers to face his next series of tests.

Upon exiting the trials, the young Jedi was approached by his former master and was delighted to see his pupil had passed flawlessly. And when granted audience with the Jedi council, Cain was granted Knighthood and was able to do as he wished for the good of the people. Filled with happiness, the young Knight exited swiftly and made his way to the nearest communication terminal to inform his long-estranged mother. Though he had communicated with her over the years (much to the chagrin of the other masters), he hadn’t spoken with her for some while. It was here, he learned from his paternal uncle that his family was murdered by a biker gang from the Underworld. Distraught by the news and fueled by anger, Sunstrider made his way to the transport before being stopped by his former master. An argument ensued, but in the end, Cain knew that anger wasn’t the answer and neither was revenge. And since the local security was already investigating, the council had assigned the young Knight to assist his former master on a mission in the Outer Rim. It is here, we find Sunstrider preparing his things before leaving on a transport to the starship for their assignment.

Sorry for the delayed response, been quite quite busy in the real world.

Dark Souls: Sins of the Lords

Ser Llanowaar, Hunter of Unkindled

It didn’t seem long before the warrior’s attention turned back to the immediate vicinity; due most in part that the Wyvern had crossed beyond their capabilities to fight. But instead of turning his blade onto his Unkindled adversaries, he watched as their surrounding came to life with activity. Rotting, desecrated corpses started raising from their resting places with the cries of horror. The situation was getting dicer by the moment, especially with the number of maddened Hollows that was surrounding the group steadily growing. When one mistakenly stumbled too close, Llanowaar slammed a quick hammer-fist into the creature’s jaw. Causing his opponent to stumble back to its knees, an echoing sound of steel piercing flesh erupted suddenly. With his sword firmly implanted into the monster’s back, he watched as the “life” left its eyes once more.

“These creatures are nothing but pawns… Mi’lady would be disappointed if her Champion were to fall to the likes of these.” Llanowaar told himself below breath, removing his sword from his enemy simultaneously.

Without lifting his head, he spun lightly on his toes towards his right with both hands gripped on “Requiem.” This movement would cause two of the nearest monsters to fly back and onto their stomachs, sending their shrieks of pain through the air. Coming to a stop, he slammed his sword into one’s back and his heel to the back of the other’s head. As the blood splatter spewed all over, he looked up to his Unkindled foes who hadn’t taken in the situation currently. Though he could use this to his advantage to take out one or two, he needed their “assistance” with their current predicament. Simply too many of their common dangers were appearing in number. And if they didn’t help one another quickly, all would be decimated. Swinging to his left and cutting down another creature, Llanowaar turned to his “temporary” allies and motioned for them to assist him in clearing a way out of their troubles. Beforehand, they were told to make haste to the Wall the man-in-the-tree spoke of; which would offer a strategical advantage against a horde of these monsters. Hopefully, his mistress would overlook this brief alliance so he could complete his task at a later time.

Dark Souls: Sins of the Lords

Ser Llanowaar, Hunter of Unkindled

Llanowaar listened intently to his foes, taking in their thoughts as the words escaped their lips. With each word that spewed, his inner struggle ravaged intensely as he tried to maintain his composure. Swinging his weapon from his shoulder, he firmly slammed the blade into the moist undergrowth between his feet. Placing both hands atop of the pommel of “Requiem,” the warrior lowered his head as he began faint whispers to himself. Incantations did not echo off of his tongue since he didn’t believe in sorcery-use, but simple words to calm himself did. It mattered not if his enemies overheard his words, they too would become whispers of the past soon enough. His ears took in the sounds of new members entering the area they all currently occupied. Heavy and light armor, mushing around in the muck they all found themselves in gave him an idea of who to strike against first.

Then, the smell of the air changed as suddenly as the air pressure around them; causing his empty-filled eyes to reopen. Something was approaching, something that was quite large and quite fast; a draconian monster perhaps? Then, the sound of a final bell toll echoed through the land with a deafening crash followed closely with the sounds of woodlands crackling. The very ground seemed to shake uncontrollably, which would cause a lesser man to stumble. Looking up into the skies above, the shadow of their newest foe flew directly over them. As one of the others asked for orders, Llanowaar took “Requiem” in-hand and placed it back onto his shoulder; beginning his stride towards the flying creature. He has learned over time, the bonfire will keep most at bay who seek to harm its occupiers but this beast wasn’t just “most.” The Unkindled may be his sworn enemies, but the Wyvern would make his mission more difficult if it wasn’t addressed first.

”This beast must fall from the heavens…” Llanowaar muttered to himself.
