GENERAL INFORMATION
Rayn Duskmane was born in the mist-wrapped highlands of Stewjon, far from its better-known cities and closer to the old places where stories still mattered. Though outwardly human at birth, his blood carried something older, an inherited mutation that responded violently to strong emotion and the pull of the Force. As he grew, so did the signs: heightened senses, unnatural strength. When raiders struck his settlement in his youth, terror and fury triggered his first shift. Bone and muscle surged, black fur tore across his frame, and the Force roared through him like a predator unleashed. The attackers were driven off, but the silence that followed marked him forever.
A Jedi later offered structure and training, sensing the volatile power within him. Rayn refused. He would not cut away a piece of himself to fit doctrine. Instead, he left Stewjon and carved his own path through the Outer Rim, learning to master controlled, partial transformations, enhanced senses without losing reason, strength without surrendering to rage. Now he moves through frontier systems as a quiet myth: a grey-eyed hunter who stalks slavers and pirates, walking the line between man and beast, light and shadow. He does not deny what he is. He has simply learned to choose when the wolf answers.

HISTORY
Rayn Duskmane was born on the highland edges of Stewjon, where the mountain mists cling low and the nights stretch long. In settlements farther from the capital, stories were told in lowered voices, of a bloodline that did not remain fully human.
Rayn was proof those stories were true.
He was born human in shape… mostly. But as he grew, so did the signs. Muscle dense and corded. Nails thickening into claw-like points. Teeth sharpening subtly. And when anger or fear struck deep enough, something else pushed forward.
Not a full transformation. Not a mindless beast.
But a shift.
Bones lengthening slightly. Jaw widening. Fur erupting in streaks along his arms, shoulders, and spine. His senses sharpening beyond human limits. The Force did not flow through him in serene currents.
It roared.
The First Change
The transformation first manifested during a border raid. Raiders had descended upon a mining enclave near his home. Rayn was sixteen. Too young to lead. Old enough to fight.
When he saw his younger sister pinned beneath wreckage while blaster bolts struck around her, something inside him snapped, not into darkness, but into instinct.
The Force ignited his blood.
His body surged, reshaped by adrenaline and something older. Jet-back fur rippled across his frame. His hands split into claws capable of tearing durasteel plating at weakened seams. He moved faster than blaster aim could track. Raiders fell not to elegant saber forms, but to crushing blows and bone-breaking force pushes delivered at close range.
He remembers the red haze.
He remembers the fear in the raiders’ eyes.
He remembers the silence after.
What terrified him most was not the destruction.
It was how natural it felt.
The Grey Path
A Jedi emissary later sensed the disturbance and sought him out. Rayn was strong in the Force, unusually so. But volatile. Tethered to instinct and emotion. The Jedi offered training, structure, control.
Rayn declined.
The Order would have demanded suppression. Denial of the beast. He did not believe the beast was evil. It was part of him, just as the calm was. Just as the storm.
Instead, he left Stewjon on his own terms.
Out in the Outer Rim, Rayn learned to master the change, not eliminate it. He discovered he could trigger partial shifts at will: enhanced senses without full transformation, reinforced musculature without losing clarity. The key was balance. Rage without hatred. Instinct without surrender.
He became something whispered about in frontier settlements.
A hunter who stalked slavers.
A shadow that broke pirate syndicates.
A black figure seen briefly before violence ended.
Some called him monster.
Others called him guardian.

APPEARANCE
He carries himself with a quiet, unyielding intensity, the kind that settles into a room before he ever speaks. Strong features are carved in clean, deliberate lines: a sharp jaw framed by a trimmed beard that’s lean along the cheeks but fuller at the mustache, giving his expression a controlled, almost severe edge. His brows are naturally heavy, often drawn together in thought, lending his gaze a constant air of scrutiny.
His eyes are striking, cool-toned and watchful, set beneath slightly furrowed brows that make even stillness feel deliberate. Dark hair, worn longer on top and swept back with a single loose strand that sometimes falls forward, softens the severity just enough to make him feel human rather than untouchable. There’s a tension to him, not from anger, but from discipline, like a blade kept honed and sheathed, waiting for the moment it’s needed.
