​

Tycho Arak is a former Kage Warrior who grew tired of constant fighting with the Belugans, which has raged on Quarzite since ancient times. Even galactic events such as the Gulag Plague and the Great Hyperspace War haven't stopped that ancient feud. Now he colors himself a nomad, a practitioner of all facets of the Force, and an agent of change.

Biography

​

Tycho is a male Kage from the planet of Quarzite. From a very young age he was raised to be a warrior, taught the ways of sword fighting and subterfuge, both essential to the Kage Warriors arsenal. He knew nothing of fun or happiness. The only joy he found was in bettering his skills and using them as a means to defeat other warriors in training. The training was so rigorous that he was divorced from his parents and to this day does not know their names. Not that it would matter if he did because he feels no connection to anyone other than himself. Training was his life.

Even as a teenager he spent all his time training. There were inevitable pursuits of some of the female trainees, but most of them were just as devout in their training as he was, and so nothing ever came of them. Even as a younger teen he was able to beat adults thanks to his connection to the Force. He kept it secret for a very long time, only using it to minorly augment his body during certain training points or sparring battles. It wasn't considered cheating to make yourself stronger. It just meant he was better than a lot of the other warriors, and that was something he would take advantage of.

His very first raid was also his last. A couple of Belugans captured some Kage children and took them back to their village. Tycho was on the team sent to rescue them. It should have been easy, but when the Belugans heard they were coming, they executed the children. His squad then executed the entire village while he watched. It set a bad taste in his mouth. Not that they'd wiped out the whole village, but that the Belugans had been allowed to capture children and then kill them because someone within the Warriors organization had tipped the Belugans off. His own people were selling each other out. This barbarism and pursuit of monetary gain disgusted him. Pursuit of power he understood, but the wanton waste of life should have been beneath them after all that had happened in the galaxy.

He left that same day, taking a transport off world under an assumed name. For a time he merely drifted until he found a colony of darkside anthropologists on a remote world he didn't even know the name of. He spent years there, studying the history of the Jedi and Sith, of the Force, learning its ways, honing who he was outside of just a swordsman with the ability to augment his body. He learned ways to use the Force that would help him bring about change in places that resisted its necessity. He learned how to kill without ever touching someone. He learned how to control minds. He learned how to manipulate the very essence of the matter around him.

When he learned all he could from them, he left and continued his nomadic life, which eventually lead him to study the lightside as well, balancing out his lifestyle. While he maintains his view that he is an agent of change, that change is focused on betterment of the galaxy as a whole.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
​

Force Sensitivity - Tycho is able to touch and utilize the Force to make his desires happen.

Blades and Martial Arts - Having studied bladed and hand to hand combat from a very young age, Tycho is gifted in their use.

Level Head - Where many of those who utilize the dark tend to be hotheaded and reactionary, Tycho manages to channel his anger and frustration without allowing it to control him.

Weaknesses​

Empathy - Most of those who are like him, people who touch the dark, could care less about those around them, especially people they don't know. Tycho is incapable of this. He does not slaughter indiscriminately and will go out of his way to keep from harming those uninvolved in his pursuits.

Quixotic- Much like with his empathy, he has grand ideals and those ideals are sometimes a hindrance to his development, or to those around him.
