|| STRENGTHS ||
- Live by the Saber: A master of Lightsaber, and sword Combat. Trained by Xander Carrick, and Jericho who were both Masters of hand to hand, Bladed, Lightsaber, and even hammer based combat types. Thus by learning from them, and years of use, One would be hard pressed to beat Zeph in pure bladed combat. Zeph is a master at Shi-cho and Soresu Lightsaber forms. Providing him very high defenses, with a basic fighting style.
- Mandalorian: Zeph isn't the best shot, nor is he the worst. Having various training with the Silver Sanctum Coalition's Military, as well as Mandalorian training, Zephyr is a good combatant combined with his already expanding arsenal, as well as learning various weapons such as Slugthrowers, Blasters, and more weaponry for those who are not adept of the force.
- Holems Jr: Zephyr has learned from his father much about keeping an eye about your surroundings and how they can react towards you. As such, He is very observant. Retaining knowledge rather easily and keeping it there, He is borderline Hyperthymesia.
- Quicker and Quicker: Taking up on force abilities, forms of combat, and even general tactics, Zephyr is a very fast learner. Teach him, or show him something, and it usually only takes a few tries for him to get it down. This also allows him to catch onto fighting forms just from watching others. Much like he is observant, Zeph can catch on very quickly to how people react, and act towards him, and others. Letting him learn abilities, fighting styles, and other forms of combat much quicker than most.
- Lasts Longer than 24 hours: Having a very high stamina allows Zeph to fight a rather long time. Either by the force, or in bladed combat. After training his body to become closer and closer to its peak physical condition, He can use a sword just as effectively as his lightsaber. Being able to stand toe to toe with Lightsaber users with a heavier weapon. This is increased further with any force usage to aid him in combat.
- Honor Bound: Zeph has come to be known as a rather honorable person. While he may be cruel in his actions, but understands that people are just doing what they think is right. Each person has their reasons, and he gives them the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't like to face women in battle, and rumored to go easier on them. As well, his word means a lot to him. If he gives a person a promise, he intends to keep it.
- Muddied Blood: Born from a Mixed father, and a Zeltron mother, Zephyr has a little bit of both running through his blood. He has very good looks, and attributes most of that from his mother. He does not have the ability to release pheromones.
- Sides of the Force: While Zeph identifies as someone who uses the Dark side of the force, he is not someone who is consumed by it. Using his abilities more like tools, or pure skills that are best left in moderation. Zeph can be seen using rather darker influenced abilities within the force, as well as lighter sided, or neutral abilities. Zephyr has no real side that he relies solely upon. He uses a mix of both, and as such, finds no place among the Darkest of Sith, nor the Purest of Jedi.
- Neutral Ground: In the past, Zeph has gone against orders of his commanding officers. He has also outright denied orders given to him. While this was mostly his rebellious side, he has long since changed and learned from his mistakes. He tends to be more neutral minded. Thinking through the consequences a little more. Yes he can still be a little heated, and can go against others orders still, but doesn't do it as often as he may have once had. He enjoys his freedom to do as he pleases. Yet, understands that there has to be some form of order, otherwise everything would go to hell.
- Emotional Fighter: Using emotions is sometimes good, and can really help when in a pinch. However, Zeph can sometimes take it a little too far. Instead of using "happy" thoughts or emotions of good things, he also uses anger, hate, and rage. Which can lead to him seeming him a little darker than he should be. Taking this further, Time and time again is mentioned of Zeph using his emotions to allow him to fight further in combat.
- Women: His father has taught him to hold women to a higher standard than himself. And as such, will do so. Being a gentlemen towards most women, about the only person he doesn't act this way towards to is his Twin sister. He prefers to not fight women, and will even in some cases, not kill the opposite sex simply because he has been taught to hold them to a rather high regard.
- Fight till the end: With being an emotional fighter, as well as one to keeps very closely to his word, he will give it his all in a fight. Never backing down. No, he won't challenge everyone, he is smart enough when to not fight, but if he is going to die, then he will go out kicking and screaming and covered in somebody's blood. He doesn't seem to know the term "Give up."
- Its Time to Work: No matter what relation you have with Zeph, he takes his work seriously. Including battle. So any time that he will be in battle, he won't refer to you as the nicknames he may call you by, or by other non formal terms. He takes battle, and "work" in general very serious.
- That one button: There is one thing you never touch about with Zeph. And that is his dear friends, or his family. Many of those include his biological family of the Carrick Tree, as well as his adoptive family of the Verd Clan, and some others. Say anything against him? he won't care, and will likely walk away. Say something about his friends, or those he loves, and he won't back down.
- Bottled up: He can't share his feelings with others very well. Sure he has some small romances in the past, notably with Celiana, but otherwise, he doesn't really show you who he really is. He tries to hide himself. This can clearly be seen how he likes to work alone, and tends to use stealth abilities when doing so.
- Strong Arm: Zephyr had his arm removed due to the injuries sustained. Instead of trying to deal with a flesh arm that may or may not work well with his swordsmanship, he had it removed with an arm that is more capable and stronger. However, this means that his right arm is superior and thus he favors his right arm in most situations. This means his left arm is not quite up to par in fighting, and in some cases, he will punch as hard as he can with his left arm, without realizing the consequences.
- Family Man: Even though his family affairs have been rather shifty at times, he still loves them and cares for them. While his father and mother are Jedi, he sees the dark side of the force as a tool, and thus doesn't feel the need to be a Jedi in name. A lot of the Verd Clan that his family is tied with are also dark siders, including his master being a Sith Lord. His family comes first before everything else. Should they call upon him, he will be there. While he may argue with them, or disagree with some of their motives, he understands they too, want the family and clan to prosper, and as such, will aid them in whatever way he can possible. Family before all else.

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Pre-Roleplay
Growing up without a father for most of your life is hard. Considering the last known memory of him was when I was a kid trying to pick up his hammer, and him chuckling in the background. I was born on the planet Voss to my mother Maya, and father Xander. Both of whom are Jedi Masters within the Silver Jedi Order. My Father a well know Lightsaber duelist, and Telekinesis user, and my mother a Jedi Healer, and Leader of the Sage Caste within the Jedi Sanctum. I grew up with a younger twin sister. Freyia. While she was always the more adventurous one, I was the one at home studying, and training. Becoming the best I could so that one day I could fight beside my father on the fields of glory.
I dreamed of being able to fight the Sith to protect my family. I felt as though with him gone, I had to make up for it. And as such, I would train day in and day out. While my sister may be going off to visit friends and having parties, I was in the training yards with my sword and my father's old lightsaber. Training to become a better bladesman.
It was only recently that my father had emerged from a cave upon Voss, that he had come back to us. I have tried to grow closer to him as a Son, and as a Jedi apprentice to him, and my Mother. However, they can get on my nerves. I am close to becoming an adult, and I want to be treated as such. They need to let me into battle at some point. I will fight eventually. It's only a matter of time.
Preparing myself for life is what I am trying to do, but my mother doesn't see that. She doesn't understand me. Dad was out in the Galaxy at my age, Why can't I be?
Roleplay
After working with my father and his return from his cave, I had grown closer to him. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with the man who had allowed my mother to give birth to me. I don't quite forgive him of what he did, because mom was so distraught with sadness, and it killed me to see her that way. However, after seeing him, and getting to know him, I understood why my mom loved him. And I grew to like him.
After training with him and a few of his apprentices, and even some more training from my mom, I wanted to start growing up and getting out on my own. I wanted to become a man. And that is why I joined up with the Mandalorian Empire. Sure I still have the Silver Jedi with me, but I think the Mandalorians who are rising in the face of not having a Manda'lor is where I am meant to be. A new place, for a new kid. I am even receiving training from a mysterious man named Jericho. Though he may turn out to be better, I had noticed that he beat my father in a tournament.
I have participated in my first official battle. I got a few scars and bruises over it. Even as I am writing this information down, my mother is fretting over my cuts. Honestly, I like the scar on my cheek. Maybe it makes me look cooler or whatever, but honestly, I want to keep it to remind myself that battle can be harsh, and tough. As for what happened? I don't want to talk about it at the moment. Just like my wounds, my memories are still fresh.
I just hope I can get over this, and still be able to train and perform at my best.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a few months now. After the battle, I moved in with the Mandalorians. Becoming one of the many Mando'ade who had joined with Isley in his new claim of the Mandalorian Empire. On the battle, I had used the dark side of the force to influence me. I just couldn't be with my family anymore. I left them from their home, and moved to my own place on Voss, and having various apartments on Echol'ya, the capitol of the Mandalorian Empire. While in one of my training sessions alone, I had come across Celiana. A woman who hailed from Eshan, and moved around herself. Having a spar with her, we decided to have a date. It was quite a good time. However, I still had training to do.
Having more lessons from Jericho, and Manda'lor himself, I learned of the weapon dubbed, the Darksaber. As such, using the various items that I had gathered up, I forged my own lightsaber to be used by myself. Aimed to aid me in my useage of Shi-cho, and Soresu lightsaber forms. I have become smarter over time, and have become even more powerful than what my father was at my age. Even as an apprentice, I have already lead a battle, Fought a Leviathan, and fought against Sith in Invasions.
Helping with the formation of the group known as the "Crimson Brotherhood" I made my way into their ranks and hope to become a Dark Jedi myself. Learning of the Dark side of the Force to protect my family. And later reveal myself to my family. Protecting them from the sidelines while my father did the same in the light of day. I will be the watchful Shadow. The villain they need to keep pushing themselves, and myself.
Hopefully I will be up to this task.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking lessons from my mentor, and surrogate father, Isley Verd, I began to grow within the force considerably faster than most. I have learned much more about the force, and its capabilities such as destruction, manipulation, and even able to use it to induce rage within myself. Going on missions to deny the stealing of Mandalorian Iron, I was hasty, rushing forward into battle. Losing my arm, and honor with the Crusaders. I went against orders. After such, I was tasked to hunt and kill a Zakkeg. I was successful, and I earned back my honor as a Mandalorian.
After such, I was stuck training to learn how to use my right arm again. The new prosthetic was made for my body type, and I need to regain function with my arm. Even only after two weeks without its usage, I needed to be back up to fighting standards to be even considered for operations or missions. I stayed in relative contact with my father during this time. Updating him that I had my arm removed and to let him know I was fine. After this, I discovered I had a ghost following me. Gale is her name, and neither of us have a clue why only we two can interact with one another.
During this, I found the Holocron of Darth Marr. A Sith lord who perished just before the Eternal Empire came into power. His holocron lending me strength in the area of Force teachings, Soresu lightsaber form, and even force rage. Helping me to learn how to contain the rage within my emotions. Working with various others for a sudden threat against the Mandalorians, even participating in a summit of the Mandalorian Crusaders to come to terms with the planets under our influence, and to become Guardians of those we chose to be. It was here, directly after, that I was Knighted within the force, and took up the title of Buurenaar Cabur, or Mando'a for Storm Guardian.
After this, I have still much to do. Hunting down a Dar'Manda, aiding the Mandalorian Clans, and even getting new gear to increase my arsenal of weapons and tech. I also made a friend along the way, Brother of Nikias, Akhilleus. King of the Hellyni people.
Now on the road to Mastery, I need to work harder than ever before. With friends, allies, and my company, hopefully I will get somewhere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My last update had taken place so long ago. I feel like a completely different person. Someone who has changed, yet is still the same.
Ra rose to power. Claiming the title of Manda'lor. Yet I left. I fled to the Otherspace. I left the galaxy when my Kin needed me the most. Why? They were not my kindred. They were not my brothers and sisters. The Verd Clan, the Carrick House. Those are my family. The Dark Jedi who I once worked with, and now no one. I am a Dar'manda. Even now as Ra seemed to come back from the dead, and proclamed that all Force user Mandalorins were no longer allowed, I knew this idea of my exile was only being enforced.
Much has changed.
More will continue to change.
We will just have to see what comes next.
