Back story: Daeka Kol
--------A cool mist slowly rolled across the bottom of the forest floor that evening, the creatures native to the land were going about, a humming vibration slowly crept along the forest getting bigger and louder each passing second. Moments pass and a small ship finally landed on the forest floor, the door to the ship opened without sound or hesitation and a moderately sized figure shrouded in black glided across the land away from the ship. She searched and she searched for a safe area to leave her son, who layed soundly asleep in his mother's arms not knowing that this would be the last day he would ever see her, or his home planet ever again.
--------Fear swept through his mother, fear that would not survive the night, fear that their pursuers will reach them before they can part. She knew he can survive, he may have been only three but he is a very intelligent child for his age, it may have been the force guiding his logic, it may just be himself, but she knew that he could survive the harsh forest of Kashyyyk. Though she knew this, it did not stop herself from fear creeping inside her, making her believe she will not succeed in hiding him from his would be captors and her murderers.
--------She stopped a short time later believing this to be a good place for her child to stay, holding him with one hand she grabbed her lightsaber, found the largest tree she could find and proceeded to cut a hole large enough for her son to live for several years. She knew this would not last him as he grew, finish cutting the hole she placed him in it, he slowly awoke looking what would be the last time with his own eyes up at his mother. “It's alright, your going to have a camping trip by yourself, stay here, be safe and this pendant here is a gift, cherish it, I love you.” Watching as his mother left him not knowing the dangers that await him in the forest nor in the rest of the galaxy, he fell asleep.
--------Two years passed, the boy having lived in the woods for this long with nothing for protection but the torn up clothes and his wits, crept along quietly in the forest. He was catching his daily meal, his prey unsuspecting of any predators around drinks from a pond, and at that precise moment he attacked. The beast had no time to be shocked as it died within seconds, happy with his kill he took his meal to his home, treading the forest is not a simple thing, many creatures lie and wait within the shadows looking for a meal, many dangerous things live within Kashyyyk that not many venture to find out, and those that do are rarely seen again. He noticed two beings following him, carefully not letting themselves be heard though a feeling of their presence is unforgettably known, they want him to know they are following him and not the rest of the creatures that live in the forest.
--------A twig snapped and he threw the carcass at his unwanted followers, trying to quickly make an escape but they were just too fast, abnormally fast for any creature. Fear started to creep through him as his two stalkers gained upon him, the trees were becoming thicker and close together barely any room to move, faster and faster they were gaining and then they caught up to him. He made attempts to fight back, it was hopeless, his captors were too quick and too powerful. Giving up his struggle to break free he looks up to his captors, barely he recognizes their species. One was a pale brown male Twi'lek while the other a pale human female both wearing black cloaks and staring intently upon the boy. “Is he the boy” the Twi'lek asked the human, and with a gasp of a sigh reached out and touched the boys clothing. Many memories past upon the woman, most of him hunting, killing his food and one the one she was hoping to see was of him looking up into the faces of his parents. “yes he is the boy we have been searching for.” Scared and fearing for his life the boy made small audible whisper, “Kiffar”. The two figures smiled in glee that their long search of the boy was finally over, “We have been searching for you for a very longtime. Your mother did well in hiding you, many people have been wanting to get their hands on you, many evil, and some good. I am Pua Sulte, this is my..padawan, Esyuja Mube.” Esyuja looked at Pua surprised at the tactic he was taking in his attempt to make the boy go with them willingly. “We are from the Jedi Order, our mission ever since your disappearance has been to find you, your mother was afraid of you being harmed as...a jedi and placed you in hiding so you would not know the life you are suppose to have.
--------“Sadly when we found your mother she was already near death by a couple of dark jedi attempting to gain the information of your whereabouts. Please you must come with us, so you can learn the ways to avenge your mother and fathers death.” Esyuja now took the lead in his' turning, “You don't want your parents' murder to go unavenged now do you?” she could see that the boy was shaking his head no, no at the shock of his parents dead, not seeing their smiling faces ever again. “If you come with us, we will teach you how to turn your anger into your greatest strength, so you can kill those dark jedi and gain peace.” Breathing slowly he thinks of nothing else but why? Why didn't the order find those responsible instead of him? Yet he still could not subside his rising anger towards the order and the dark jedi responsible for his parents' death.
--------The two 'jedi' were pleased in seeing and feeling the boy's hatred grow, knowing that now they have him, hooked lined and sinkered. All that was left was to take him to their master. “STOP!” All three looked around surprised that there was another person here, his presence perfectly hidden until now. “Do not listen to them, they mean to plague your mind with nothing but pain and anger. They have lied to you, they are not jedi but dark jedi themselves, they are who your mother went through the and gave her life for to protect you from.” A tall slender man, human stepped out of the shadows and slowly approached the three, he could feel Pua and Esyuja's anger grow though he did not know entirely why he could feel it, from the unknown man he could only feel a calm, cool and serene. The boy could feel as though he can trust the man, but his anger would not subside, he wanted to strike something, it ate at him and he could not do a thing about it.
--------“Your too late jedi, he is turning and it is almost complete.” Pua said grinning wickedly as he turned and looked at the jedi, grabbing his lightsaber in preparation to attack him. “Our master will not stop hunting him you understand, he will have the boy and you will die here tonight.” Esyuja said as she followed suit with her companion and grabbed her lightsaber. “Why must this always end in violence? Why can't we just resolve things over a couple of drinks of fizzbrew?” the jedi sarcastically asked as he knew, of course, there was no other way to end this; dark jedi always tend to want to end their dealings with jedi by trying to kill them. Grabbing both of his saber he ignited them in each hand, a pale blue glow and hum emanated each blade. The two dark jedi ignited their sabers, both the crimson red that sith and dark jedi alike were accustomed to choose. Pua made the first strike attempting to slice through the jedi's abdomen, but he was too quick and dodged the attack, Esyuja thinking the jedi was now caught off guard made the attempt to slice straight down him. Barely dodging the surprise attack he managed to kick her in the nose breaking it, with a scream of pain and blood now running down her face, Esyuja's anger grew more and caused her to wildly attack, with no thought of were she was swinging her blade a groan of pain came from a male and she stopped relentlessly attacking only to see that she had accidentally stabbed Pua. Rolling her eyes thinking that he got in the way instead of backing off, she tore the saber out of his chest and let him fall dead to the ground and set her sights upon the jedi she now blames for her companions death.
--------Esyuja and the jedi started passing attacks at each other, parrying and dodging each attack they gave each other. To them it may have seemed liked hours they had been fighting, while one that was watching like the boy standing there, angry confused and scared saw everything happen in seconds. The jedi parried an attack that left Esyuja open and sliced her from leg to shoulder on her right side, this left her in searing pain, and limbless on her right side. Seeing this as a good time as any the jedi deactivated his saber and grabbed the boy, running away from the on coming creatures that found a meal defenseless on the forest floor. Stopping a good distance away, the jedi let the boy down and took the opportunity to look upon his face for the first time. Red triangle strips ran across his cheeks, marking the clan of his mother. Raggedy brown hair covered his face as well his hazel eyes showed the anger and confusion he had earlier. “Please do not be frightened, I am not here to harm you. It has taken me a long time find you, your life as you witnessed is in danger, as are all force sensitive beings lives are.
--------“Yes your mother feared you being harmed as a jedi and she worried more when she and your father found out the dark jedi wanted to make you one of them. I'm sorry to tell you that your parents are dead, those responsible are the ones trying to get you to come with them a few minutes ago. Do not swell on hate young one, that will only get you killed as you saw what happened. I will not try to coerce you to come with me back to the order, know that the dark jedi will not stop hunting you. My name is Cabe Zotto, by the way.” he said, extending his hand. The boy grabbed Cabe's and began shaking it, “I..I am..Daeka, Daeka Kol.”
SERENITY WITHIN THE ACADEMY
--------It was a peaceful time when Deaka was in the Academy, through guidance he let go of the little taste of hatred he gained on the forest land of Kashyyyk. Cabe Zotto, his new friend and new parental figure was given charge of Daeka, few weeks after arriving at the academy Daeka was able to make friends. Two in particular became his best friends, Janis Carr a female Miraluka and Tonak Kor a male and a fellow Kiffar. Janis was different, not like a typical Miraluka, she was not cautious nor quiet but free spirited and happy. Daeka saw Janis and Tonak as siblings, and their time together grew more when they were not studying or learning. One incident led them away from the academy within the forest of Yavin, they hiked for two hours or so finding a ruined temple. Janis could feel the faint presence of the force in the ruined temple and urged her friends to enter with her.
--------It didn't hit Tonak or Daeka immediately when they all entered the temple, strange that they didn't feel the force till they entered. They did believe that Janis did see the force around the temple, walking through the corridors dust kicked up by their feet scraping across the floor. Cobwebs moved swiftly as the air moved to and fro. They didn't get far inside the temple to encounter living dangers, a pack of Stintaril, large rodent like nomadic creatures came out of the darkness, and they are always hungry started charging at the trio. Janis instinctively used force push to keep them back as they tried to make their escape.
--------Janis was the only one in the group calm enough to use the force to stave off the stintaril, Daeka and Tonak exited the ruins first, pushed a boulder towards the entrance, Janis narrowly passed as the boulder enclosed the entrance stopping the stintaril from their pursuit. Lucky to be alive the headed back the enclave and swore to not speak of this event again.
THE HUNTER
--------After being accepted into the Order, Daeka became happy he learned to quell his anger, made friends and found a parental figure within his saviour on the forest floor of Kashyyyk. But his happy life was coming to a crash, while he was ten years old, the Yuuzhan Vong war started and there was nothing but survival, survival of the Order, survival was everyones only priority. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the temple on Yavin IV Daeka was ripped from his master, having left with his friends and Cabe having left in another ship. Days pass and there was no word as to what happened to his master's evacuation ship. His friends tempted to bring his spirits up, but the thought that the one person he came to see as his parental figure and best friend he may never see again. A couple more days pass and his mood brightens, deciding not to sulk he instead played with his friends. One day, after they evacuated Yavin a Vong attack group found their ship and proceeded to attack them. There were little defenses on the ship as is and the order to abandon ship was given. Every one scattered to the pods, though there were many, some were a one person only pod. Daeka was thrown into such a pod and that was the last day he saw his friends again.
--------The escape pod had no preset coordinates and it drifted, fell through space for days. One day came, a day that marked the change in his life forever, Yip Taru passed by the escape capsule seeing that it had been adrift for months, surprisingly his sensors detected a life sign, barely a pulse registered on the sensor. To his astonishment when he entered the pod he found a small boy appearing to be asleep. Bringing the boy aboard as there he was the only thing of value in the pod, laid in the sleeping quarters and resumed course for home.
--------Daeka slowly awoke from his deep sleep meditation that Cabe showed to him weeks before the Yuuzhan Vong came. Gaining his surroundings with his eyes and barely through the force, he was able to see he was rescued and by one person, after stretching his muscles for a few minutes, he made his way to his new saviour. “Glad to see you finally woke my name is Yip Taru, and you are very lucky I passed that area you may have died without nourishment.”, he said without turning around to see him walking towards him. “No need to thank me I don't care for that stuff, theres food and drink over in that compartment after you eat you can tell me your name and what you were doing out in the middle of space all by yourself.” Daeka didn't make a sound he did what Yip said to do, he started to feel as though he was losing apart of himself a limb vital to his survival. The connection to the force was being severed, he did not know what may be causing it.
--------The sever left him blank in the mind, everything he knew in those short years was disappearing from his mind. “I-I don't know who I am anymore, all I remember is my name: Daeka Kol.” He said to Yip after eating a meal, Yip did not look surprised at all by this statement, he figured that because Daeka was alone in that pod, barely alive it could have caused amnesia. Noticing that he was a Kiffar and that he was carrying a pendant he asked him to touch to see if it could bring back his memories, but alas when Daeka did upon the request nothing happened, no memories passed through him, nothing happened like it should to a Kiffar. “The force is leaving me.” he spoke softly as he touched the pendant, a tear fell from his face and hit upon his hand. Yip feeling sorry for Daeka and realizing there was no where for him to go, especially with the Yuuzhan Vong the New Republic warring for the galaxy, he took Daeka in as a son.
--------Daeka never felt the touch of the force for years, believing it turned his back on him, grateful though that when it left and took all of his memories, it left his name and the know that he was once a wielder of the force. When Yip took him in as a son, he learned he was a bounty hunter. And not like any bounty hunter that goes around taking any job to scrounge enough credits for a meal, one that gets the impossible of impossible marks. Yip taught him everything he knew as he grew, when Daeka was 18 he was giving his first mark, believing he can pull it off without a hitch.
--------His bounty was a rodian that stole a lock box from a arms dealer, rumors abound placed him on Tatooine withing the out skirts of Mos Espa. Yip retiring from the hunter life, gave him his ship a YT-2400 freighter, The Sage as a gift for becoming a bounty hunter just like him. Daeka finding it time started wearing his attire as a bounty hunter Crusader MK III rebel version and as the only thing left to his past he placed his locket with in the suit, after parting ways with Yip he sat out on his first bounty on Tatooine. Upon arriving into the city he took on the alias Aelkayd Ryaleel and set upon the difficult search for the rodain Wof Uty, in order to find Wof, Daeaka entered to unseen world under Mos Espa gathering what little information he could about his bounty.
--------Two weeks into his search Wof made a fatal slip into revealing that he stole from a arms dealer, Daeka relieved he finally found his mark proceeded to incapacitate the rodian but he was too paranoid of Daeka's actions and pulled a blaster on him and shot. In that instant something guided Daeka's movements to dodge the blaster bolt, managed to disarm the rodian and bring his blaster into his face. Wof made many attempts to bribe Daeka on-route to the arms dealer. With a job well done Daeka received a transmission from Yip, it stated that he was not truthful with him when he gave Daeka The Sage. Apparently Yip had many outstanding debts and tabs he carefully kept hidden from him in those eight years, in accepting The Sage he also accepted the debts and tabs that had to be paid off, as well as Yip's contacts that needed a hunter to take care of, pissed Daeka vowed to find Yip and punch him in the face.
--------After learning of Yip's plan his first thoughts were to search for the b*****d, but debt collectors were already calling and for the next twenty-six months he collected bounties on a never ending list of debt fees and tabs. He did love what he was doing but he didn't find anytime for rest, in the short of time he was becoming feared. Not as feared as Boba fett but getting there, his latest bounty takes him to the planet Ryloth, the home planet of the Twi'leks, at the spaceport Kala'uun. After docking under one of his many alias' he makes his way to the cantina to extract any info on his bounty. . . .
AdversariesWof Uty: Nothing is known as to what happened to this Rodian after the bounty was filled.
Druun Dmarous: This Zabrak Con Artist escaped many attempted captures by Deaka and other Bounty Hunters. In another attempt Daeka made, Druun was conned and captured. Vowing vengeance he is last known serving time in a spice mine.
Note Do not be intimidated by my background, I thought we were to be as creative as possible and thats what I did. Yours may not be as long as mine or it may be longer. That is for you, the RPer to decide. May the Force be with you always..
