PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Atos Vodus stands at an imposing 6 feet 3 inches (190 cm), his frame sculpted by years of intensive combat training and gladiatorial battles. His Thyrsian features, with charcoal colored skin and solid black eyes, intense and unwavering, reveal the strength and resilience within. Short, dark hair, spreads from his head in an elegant and regal fashion, though occasionally messy due to combat, and probably an expectation rather than his go-to hair style.

Numerous scars bear witness to his tumultuous journey — a testament to battles fought on both the front lines and in the gladiatorial pits. A prominent scar on his left chin, earned in a fierce duel, adds a rugged touch to his otherwise commanding presence. Faint, intricate patterns etched into his skin signify past gladiatorial victories, each mark a story of triumph.

His physique, a symphony of sinew and muscle, radiates power and agility. Atos's hands, calloused and scarred from wielding various weapons, speak of a warrior who has weathered countless conflicts. The subtle gleam of sunlight catches on the cortosis-infused vibroblade strapped to his side — a relic of the Sun Guard tradition.

Dressed in modified Thyrsian armor, adorned with the symbols of a Son of Suns, Atos Vodus carries himself with a regal bearing. Despite the weight of responsibility, his eyes reflect a determined spirit, unwavering in the face of adversity.

HISTORY

Atos Vodus was born on Thyrsus, a planet known for its warrior culture and the formidable Sun Guard group. His father, a dedicated member of the Sun Guard, recognized the potential in his son and entrusted Atos to the training of a skilled and personally trusted Warmaster. From a young age, Atos displayed an innate connection to the Force, combining physical prowess with a developing sensitivity to its power.

Under the guidance of the Warmaster, Atos honed his combat skills for over two decades. His father, a key figure within the Sun Guard, often found himself embroiled in conflicts across the galaxy. As Atos matured, the whispers of a prophecy, proclaiming him as the Son of Suns, began circulating among the Sun Guard. The prophecy, distorted by Sith influence in the past, gained renewed significance as the splintered factions within the Sun Guard vied for control.

At the age of 19, Atos became the focal point of the Son of Suns prophecy. Rogue Sun Guards, driven by greed and power, attempted to manipulate him for their own agenda. Despite their efforts, Atos resisted their influence. However, when he was 28, tragedy struck. The rogue faction, fearing his defiance, assassinated his father and kidnapped his mother, hoping to exploit her to bend Atos to their will.

Refusing to yield, Atos stood strong against their demands. In a cruel twist, they took his mother's life. Consumed by grief and anger, Atos spent the next eight years relentlessly pursuing the traitorous Sun Guards. The splintered faction that believed in Atos as the Son of Suns joined forces with him, forming a formidable unit to hunt down the rogues.

As Atos eliminated the last traitor, a profound shift occurred within him. Turning his gaze outward, he became intrigued by the mysteries of the galaxy. His purpose expanded beyond seeking retribution, and he started contemplating the role destiny had assigned him. Now, Atos Vodus, scarred by war and loss, looks to the stars, ready for a new chapter in his life.

"For every tear shed in silence, retribution whispers its promise."
