Racial Traits:
Perfect Recall: Lyseerans
can attempt to recall any single fact or event they have been exposed
to in the last month by making an Easy Knowledge or Perception roll.
After one month the difficulty raises to Moderate.
Caravan's Code: Lyseerans may never stay on
a single planet for more than 2 standard years. There's is a race of
travellers that choose space over the dirt of worlds and their unclean
inhabitants, all of which are normally considered beneath them. When
the code is broken the offender is automatically banished from their
Caravan and driven out of Lyseeran society. They may never be dealt
with or given aid again. Some even take to hunting the Mud Rutters.

The
third son of a mercenary admiral, Belruus grew up learning such things
as bartered honor and codified duty. His mother, the company's combat
surgeon, died during the Fantis-7 uprising leaving his upbringing to
stewards and bodyguards. Unfortunately for Admiral Thainen, his youngest
son always had difficulty accepting duty without conscience. Still,
he stood by his father's side. As time passed he got to watch both of
his brothers die protecting clients that deserved no such loyalty; still
he endured the life of the Mercenary Code.
On his 21st birthday Belruus
took a concubine as was the custom of the fleet and she gave birth to
his son within the first two years. After one particularly long and
bloody campaign along the border region, young Belruus and his father
had a massive falling out. The argument was started because the young
merc saw jedi engage in battle, against the purchased fleet. The conviction
of their code, the skill and craft used to fight with only a limited
amount of casualties, the young man realized there was another way.
He took his son and travelled
to Arkania, after four months of reflection and two weeks of petitioning,
Master Tott Doneeta walked over to the the would-be jedi and asked a
simple question, "Why do you fight?" After much thought Belruus
looked up to the master and responded, "To protect those who cannot."
Master Doneeta stared hard into the human's eyes and with a solomn nod
he agreed to take Belruus an apprentice.
In time Belruus Thainen rose
through the ranks of the Jedi Order, became a respected battlemaster
and skilled diplomat. In time he took it upon himself to teach others
the ways of the force. His first two pupils were his son Jonah Thainen
and a Lyseeran outcast named Moldavo. Both were competent in the force
and took well to their training. At first. Unfortunately Belruus had
nevere questioned their ability to quell the indoctrination of their
childhood like he had. In time the Caravan's Code began to surface in
their training. The contempt for their life as apprentices on a single
world combined with constant exposure to people who actually preferred
land to space drove both away from Belruus. When he went to them to
see if he could talk them down, blades were drawn. It was Belruus's
own son who destroyed Belruus's first lightsaber and demanded Moldavo
steal a ship. The Dark Side had claimed them.
After the betrayal of his
own apprentices, Belruus returned to his former master for solace and
help in working through his anguish. It was almost 15 years before he
could take on another pupil; a young vultan named Korril Grith that
possessed strength and courage to spare. Belruus knew he was watched
from a distance by the Council of Masters, but he proved to be a capable
teacher and gifted mentor. After all the time that has passed, Belruus
still listens for word of his fallen apprentices. He hopes that some
chance will reveal itself allowing him to save the souls of his lost
charges. |
