"I'm trained to bring down empires. But assassins have much better job security nowadays."
Name: Kellian Sythrac
AKA: Operative Onyx, The Silent
Age:25
Race: Dyanel
Appearance: (This is just his preferred form when in public)
Faction: Freelance Contract Killer (Former Dyanel Intelligence Commander)
Role in Team?: Tactician, Stealth expert, Spy
Personality: Conficting with his identity as a professional killer, former intelligence operative and all round ne'er-do-well, Kellian is a cheerful and friendly person, always happy to help people out with their needs and is generally described as a nice person to be around. Of course, underneath that happy image he can be extremely cold and calculating, able to read people easily and manipulate them with next to little remorse, assuming he needs to. If he ever gets close to people, he can be incredibly protective, even willing to lay down his life for theirs if he needs to. As he has had next to no friends in his life, he will cling onto those he does get, somehow. He is also extremely awkward around women, again, stemming from his limited non-professional contact with them throughout his life (he was also taught to consider them a distraction unless the mission involved seducing them). He is a lot more confident with them in the field though.
Weapon(s) : He does not carry any weapons in particular, preferring to procur whatever he needs in the field. Most of the time he will use stealth, charisma and his race's strength and speed (the latter of which is fast even compared to other Dyanel) to get what he needs. If needing to use a weapon, he will use short blades and silenced handguns.
Star-fighter?: He has learned how to fly most starfighters, but does not have one of his own.
Family/Relationship?: His father was promoted for his loyalty after the failed coup, and now serves as the Vice-Director of Dyanel intelligence, making him one of the most powerful men in the hegemony. He has placed a massive bounty on his son's head, but hasn't needed to pay a thing. His mother was killed during the coup, in a bombing on her settlement block. His three younger sisters also joined the intelligence corps, and are all on track to receive command positions like their big brother soon.
Other: He has a habit of subconciously moving things around a room if the owner isnt looking.

Age:25
Race: Dyanel
Race: Dyanel
The Dyanel are a carbon based race, distantly related to reptiles in their true form, having a wiry muscle structure that gives them surprising speed and strength. Their main trait, and the thing that makes them so disliked, is their ability to shape shift into almost any form, copying their voice and appearance perfectly. Their entire society revolves around this aspect, with their true forms being a very closely guarded secret. Lying and manipulation are widely encouraged in their society, to the point that Dyanel are known for being surprisingly good losers, although they will always try and get their opponent back afterwards, often in a unpleasant way. Dyanel are also known for being incredibly patient, for the aforementioned reasons.
Their government is known as the Dyanel Hegemony, which, although small, has garnered a fearsome reputation for espionage and assassination of all who threaten them, both within the Dyanel and without.
The Dyanel are fairly new to the galactic stage, only making contact with the Galactic committee thirty-six years ago. This was due to their home planet being in a fairly remote part of the galaxy, any outside ship that found them, would be destroyed.
The Dyanel actually knew about outside life for a long time before their official contact, but chose to remain hidden in order to prepare for when they met the other races. Their plans were to introduce themselves as allies, only for Hegemony agents to infiltrate the ruling classes of the other races, allowing the Hegemony to garner power and influence far beyond the home world. Unfortunately for them, before this plan could be put into full effect, an attempted coup by the Dynael intelligence service sparked into a full blown civil war. The majority of Dyanel agents returned to the home world upon hearing of this, completely ruining the plans for the Hegemony and making the other races suspicious.
The civil war ended after a year, with the intelligence section losing and it being completely purged afterwards. The damage was done though, and almost all the other races had figured out what they had tried to do. Becoming pariahs, the Dyanel rarely leave their planet anymore, due to the not-entirely undeserved prejudices against them.

Bio: Kellian was born to a colonel in the Dynael intelligence service and his paramour. He was the eldest of four children. Shortly after his birth, his father was made aware of a new program within the service known as "Pureblood", designed to train the next generation of saboteurs and operatives for the galactic stage. His father put Kellian in the program at the age of three, and he proceeded to pass with flying colors, learning the arts of lying, seduction, manipulation and murder before he was even a teenager by human years. However, out of all of these, murder was the part he truly excelled at, to the point that his instructors, who had been some of the hegemony's best agents in the day, were impressed.
Finally, at the age of fourteen (Dyanel grow to adulthood by the age of 20, but live at least twice as long as humans) He was sent along with a Dyanel "Diplomatic group", where he proceeded to put his skills to work, becoming an incredibly effective agent despite his youth. He was responsible for assassinations, political scandals, impersonations and various other illicit activities throughout the next ten years. He was promoted to commander following the success of a particularly difficult mission, and would have gone further, if not for several of his father's old comrades launching a coup d'etat, including several of his instructors and fellow purebloods. His father, on the other hand, remained loyal to the government and was put in charge of hunting down the last members of the pureblood program that had joined the rebels. Being the son of a trusted loyalist, he was above suspicion, and ordered to kill his former friends and instructors, who, arguably, had been more of a family to him than his real one.
Unable to decide, and his faith in the system he had trusted all his life shattered, he took a third option, and vanished, using the form of a human agent he killed as a disguise. The hegemony has attempted to find him, but with little luck. Seeing as the Dyanel have been humiliated since evidence of their activities have been uncovered, it is almost impossible for them to follow him. He knows exactly how to remain hidden.
In the last year, struggling to make ends meet and secretly missing his old life, he started work as a contract killer throughout the galaxy, mostly specializing in killing targets through accidents. He took the alias "The Silent", because of this. Very few people know of his existence, and no one knows his identity as a Dyanel. He intends to keep it that way.
