"Chaos is the law of nature; Order is the dream of man."
Journal Entry #789
The tide of chaos withdraws as fast as it comes in, leaving so soon after sowing death and destruction. It leaves the few survivors with a clean slate, a pure one, where opportunity arises. Walls are rebuilt and roofs are resown and for a time we flourish. It had always been this way, to rebuild, to prepare for the next tide. But no matter how high we build our fortifications, how strong we craft our weapons, chaos always seeps through, spreading its seed of corruption. The wall always comes down and this way is always doomed to fail. When the slate is reformed us social animals repair our trust, create a community, recreating the conditions to fail. Why don't we instead punish those responsible? Rip out the corrupter and their victims? Why must we be sheep when it is wolves who survive.

Vaun was born to a martial household, his father a Senior Captain in the Chiss Expansionary Defence Fleet and from the start a lot was expected from Vaun. As soon as he graduated from school he was sent to Csilla and enrolled at the CEDF Academy. Academy life was tough, even for Vaun. Many of the instructors knew who his father was and because of this he was pressured to excel in every aspect. Once graduated, Vaun joined the Colonial Phalanx to spite his father who had poured in such high expectations. Vaun was deemed a valuable member, he had graduated high from the academy on Csilla and brought valuable experience to the Phalanx. His academy training saw him transferred to multiple branches of the Phalanx, assisting them in updating their tactics to current CEDF doctrines and standards. During this time he was taught how to use a sword as it was a symbol for the Himm family. He was expected to learn it within a ceremonial role however being the rebellious Chiss he was he instead learned how to use it in combat, entering competitions within the Colonial Phalanx multiple times. When the Zweihander Union emerged that Vaun looked to the sprouting Empire and saw an opportunity to further serve his people by acting as his planets official liaison with the Union during its integration. He moved on to serve in the Union navy, becoming incredibly curious with the greater galaxy. He had begun feeling locked away from so much more in Chiss space and many of his men often noted he spent his off hours learning. However the curious demeanour of the young Officer began to fade when the Union begun to collapse and witnessing this changed the young officer. Vaun watched as the Union and with it all semblance of order in Unknown Space fall apart and its remnants retreated to Eternal Empire space he remained. He stayed behin in desperate attempt to protect his homeworld from the ravages of Unknown Space but alas, his attempts were futile and he lost his ship in battle, suffering multiple injuries. Vaun begun to become bitter and cold redefining his views on the galaxy and order. Using what little resources he had he retreated and hid and bided his time, eager to punish those who now questioned his twisted interpretation of order. With the emergence of the Maw and the FINAL DAWN, Vaun in his contempt has completely betrayed his people, joining up with those who destroyed Csilla. Initially joining the labour corps and rising in its ranks, the Chiss commanded a small army of slaves used to feed the ever-hungry war machine of the Dawn. He has since been requisitioned into the Dawn Navy, marking his return to the fighting corps.

Imperial Training: Vaun is an Imperial officer, having initially trained within the Colonial Phalanx of his homeworld Ornfra and as a naval officer within the Zweihander Union Navy. This has left the Chiss with a plethora of military and administrative experience which he applies to every scenario.
Lacks Morals: While many would consider lacking morals as a weakness Vaun does not think so. When one lacks morals one can truly put their goals ahead of anything. To Vaun morals were the barrier to realising what he truly could achieve, worshiping and attaining power no matter the cost.
Swordsman: Having been forced to follow his family's martial tradition in learning how to use a blade, for ceremonial and combat reasons, Vaun is a more than proficient swordsman, having entered and winning contests within the military.
-
Empathy?: A severe brain injury sustained in his last battle, Vaun has lost the meaning of empathy making him cold and brutal. He cares little for the people who depend on him and as such only those fanatically devoted would consider following him.
Superioriy Complex: A combination of his Chiss upbringing and military training intertwined with imperial values Vaun has been left with a superiority complex which leads him to underestimating his enemies.
Emotionally Unstable: Vaun is very emotionally unstable, intense feeling of anger, happiness or sadness often consume the Chiss. Paired with the patience of a toddler and sadistic outlook on life, he has lost the cool level-headed approach often associated with the Chiss.
-
Uniform - Wearing a charcoal black uniform adorned with a silver belt, pistol holster and his rank plaque. Red stripes run across the seams and a large FINAL DAWN insignia at the top of his right sleeve.
Chiss Charric Pistol - His Charric pistol has stood with the Chiss officer throughout his life, from his initial service with the Colonial Phalanx to his time as a liaison and Captain.
