The Brief Histories of Talon Squad Members

All Talon members, please post your cool histories here. I'm still working on mine.

 

Okay, looks like I'll take point on this one. BTW, there's some info I hadn't planned on mentioning until we get back from this mission, but I might as well.

Lt. Janus 'Stone' Talson, Chandrilla native. Currently corpsman and hand-to-hand instructor for Talon Squad.
Relatives: Only other surviving relative is his brother, a shuttle pilot for a Chandrilla cruise line. ((He's going to die soon, btw.)) Father died under Imperial Intelligence questioning concerning a non-existent uprising on Chandrilla. Grandfather's bio is unretrieveable.
((Okay, here's the scoop: all Stone will admit to about his grandfather is that he was an Apprentice before the Purge. The truth was, his grandfather was a member of Vader's Dark Horde and participated in the Purge. The family has been Force-blind ever since, and they feel as if they have to redeem the line someday.))
Highly intelligent and able to learn skills quickly. However, he can be quite dense at times; hence, the nickname 'Stone'.

Please don't let me be the only person on here. And before anyone asks,yes, Stone is Force-blind.

 

Well, it's not exactly brief... I like to think of it as complete.

Name: Kendrick Quinn
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 27
Height: 5'11
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Current Position in Talon Squad: Pilot/Mechanic

Kendrick Quinn's life before the New Republic is shrouded in mystery. The names of his parents or his homeworld seem unknown to him and if he does know, he never speaks of them. Ken joined the NR at the age of sixteen. Somehow, he managed to worm his way into the Intelligence Division: specifically, Special Operations.

During his eight years in Intelligence he picked up a number of useful skills, some of which would later explain his proficiency with a blaster. However, the boy was also exposed to a myriad of terrible things. Many of the friends Ken made were lost in his first campaigns. The most notable loss was on his very last mission - an assignment on Ord Mantell gone dreadfully wrong - with that of Jeryl Lang. The kindly unit officer had been as close to a father in Ken's life than anyone he had ever known. After Lang's death, his pupil left Special OPs, physically and emotionally scarred.

Kendrick joined the ranks of the Starfighter Corps just after his twenty-fourth birthday. He spent the first months of his service working as a technician. He had no dreams of becoming a pilot; in fact, he considered fighter-jockeys arrogant, self-centered, and highly-overrated. Despite his misgivings, one day he climbed into a piloting simulator on a bet with some drinking buddies, on the grounds that, "Flying isn't so hard. Anyone can do it." A passing recruitment agent happened to see his scores. The following day, Ken received orders to put down his tools and report to the HQ of an X-wing training squad. The rest of his military career would be spent in the cockpit.

Ken amended his opinion of pilots once he became one himself, though he never forgot his skills as a technician. He was appealing to many squadron commanders because he could not only bust up the ships he flew, but he could also repair the damage he'd done. He found a happy home in Pash Cracken's reputable A-wing squadron. The A-wing still remains his fighter of choice. Ken spent several years under Cracken's command, long enough for him to aspire to the rank of a captain, whereupon he suddenly and unexpectedly requested a transfer to another group. His reasons for doing so are known only to him and Cracken - neither are very inclined to discuss it.

Once again homeless, Kendrick bounced from unit to unit for six long months. He never stayed long in one place. None of the groups seemed to measure up to his personal criteria. Eventually, he found himself before the doors of the Talon Squad recruitment center. He decided to give it a try - what harm could it do?

The decision would change his life.

 

Name: Mekial Yrisar
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 21
Height: 5'5
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Current Position In Talon Squad: Spy

Mekial Yrisar is the fifth child of Wilot and Himia Yrisar from the planet Stepula. She was orphaned at age 12 and went to Coruscant Flight Academy with her four brothers. It was there she met Ty-Gon Jinn. She and Jinn trained together.

At age 17 Mekial left the Academy to work as a pilot and mechanic for a local businessman. It was there she learned the "art" of spying. She worked there for four years, but was put out of the job when her employer was murdered. But she soon found a new position for herself in Talon Intelligance Squad.

Name: Quis 'Q' Heartilly
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 23
Height: 5'6
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Current Position in Talon Squad: Weapons Engineer

Quis Heartilly is the daughter of recluse scientist Onas Heartilly.

Onas was the foremost weapons and technology specialist during the time of the Empire. Following ten years as working for the Empire he managed to escape, aided by the Rebel Alliance, to a remote planet in the outer rim. He worked there from a secret laboratory, creating innumerable weapons and devices that would aid the Alliance in their struggle against the Empire. He was reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Aila, and they were married. Aila tragically died a year later during the birth of their first and only child, Quis.

Quis lived alone with her father. As she grew older she helped him with his work, and by the age of twelve she could deal with equasions and theories of the same level.

The era of peace promised after the collapse of the Empire never truly eventuated, and Onas reluctantly continued his work. As long as there was a threat to peace he felt duty bound to aid the noble cause of the Alliance.

After Quis' sixteenth birthday Onas died, his mind exhausted from years of stress and his body weary from countless beatings at Imperial hands.

For the following few years Quis lived alone, growing, maturing and developing mental capabilities some have since hinted to be even greater than her fathers. Grief stricken after her father's death she continued his work, helping the Republic, but refusing to leave the laboratory she'd known as home all her life.

As the New Republic continued to grow, it found itself constantly faced by threats to its security. Crazed Jedi, zealous Imperial Warlords and even a twice ressurected Emperor to contend with had pushed it to the brink. Quis came to the conclusion that if she was to make a true difference she would need to be out in the world, seeing it for herself, and thus better equiping her for the task at hand. At the age of 21 she left her father's laboratory for Coruscant where the best scientists lived and worked.

After two years in the Coruscant labs, Quis still found herself frustrated at being couped up and not experiencing the world. She now felt that she'd already missed too much and had to start living her life for herself. Leaving the Coruscant Labs, she signed on for Talon Intelligence Squadron under the well regarded General Ski in the hope she would find a more fulfilling role for herself in the galaxy.

Name: Ty-gon Jinn
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Height: 6'2"
Hair: Dark Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Current Position in Talon Squad: Pilot (maybe spy)

Ty-gon Jinn, great-nephew of Qui-gon Jinn, was born on the planet Blonus. At age two, he was identified with Force potential by Luke Skywalker himself, and left to train at the Jedi Academy.
He was quickly trained into a fullfledged Jedi Knight in the course of ten years.
At age 12, he decided to try his hand at mechanics. He enrolled in a small mechanical school on Coruscant, and succeeded in building an A-wing, and an astromech droid to help pilot it.
After the two years that schooling took, he enrolled in the New Republic Flight Academy. Here, he met a good friend who would prove to be a better accomplice later in life, Mekial Yrisar.
Together, they came up with spy techniques in case they would ever need them. When Mekial left to become a pilot/mechanic, she promised to use them all the time.
Ty-gon stayed in the Academy for another year, when he met another friend who would later prove to be his nemesis- Jane Jinn. By some galactic coincidence, they shared a last name. This made them friends at first, but almost proved fatal later.
At age 20, Ty-gon became a mechanic in the New Republic Navy. He spent a year there, then was transferred to theforce.net squadron. He was unhappy there, and applied for a transfer.
He was allowed to take a year off. During this year, he returned to Blonus, only to hear that his parents had been kidnapped by a renegade Imperial- a Black Fire mercenary. Rumors were flying- One that Ty-gon had been kidnapped with them, one that the Emperor had been cloned again, and one that a young son had also been kidnapped.
Ty-gon did, however, find that the last of the rumors had been partially true- in his home was a boy, around the age of 12 or 13. That boy was his brother.
But that brother, Obi-wan (named after his great-uncle's padawan) was kidnapped while Ty-gon was out buying food.

Upset about this, Ty-gon applied immediately for a transfer to Intelligence. At age 23, he found the Talon Squad, where he has been since.

 

Name: Darth Agent "Spooky" Mulder
Age: I could tell you, but I'd enjoy killing you too much. (I'm in my twenties.)
Sex: Male
Race: Pure evil

As a young Force-sensitive individual, Re'deis Scri'ne was chosen among the thousands on his home planet to be trained at the Jedi Academy. On a visitation trip home, Scri'ne found his home planet in ashes after an attack from the neighboring planet. His entire family, including his bride, were killed during the massacre. Fueled with anger, Scri'ne vowed his revenge.
Luke Skywalker never saw his young apprentice again. Scri'ne was never seen from or heard from until six years later, when he rose to power under the great Sith Lord, Darth Assistant Director Walter Skinner. As an apprentice, Scri'ne adopted a new name...Darth Agent Mulder.
Since his transformation, Mulder has killed several squadrons of pilots, intelligence officers, snipers, head officials, and leaders. The New Republic would pay for not helping with his planet's situation, and the more he killed, the better.

Name: Telia Aris
Age: 23
Race: Female
Height: 5'7
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Light Blue

Telia Aris grew up as a single child. Never knowing what happened to her mother, her father constantly pushed for success in his daughter. Whenever she asked questions concerning her mothers whearabouts, her father would never answer....

Seeking ways to make his daughter perfect, Telias dad, Sawn Aris, trained her in every flying machine possible. Telia loved to fly, but the constant stress of making her dad happy finaly got to her. She started geting in contact with some New Republic agents who helped her training in acting.

Intellegence asked her to join with them. Knowing her father would never let her leave to do acting, she told him she was going to be in Rogue Squadron. She left the house living the lie.

Once in the New Republic, she met a young sniper Jaren. There was an automatic attraction between the two, but they kept it at bay. He started teaching her how to be a sniper, and always the good listener, she picked up fast. Intellegence decided to pull her from undercover work, and set her and Jaren together to be "tag team" snipers. They worked excellent together, and it was over the course of long assignments, that they decided to become romantically involved.

A painful falling out between the two, caused Telia to be moved to another squad, and back to undercover work. When Telia heard of Talon Squadron, she decided to join. As luck would have it, Jaren had joined aswell.

And as for the future? Who knows...


(I hope this is o.k. )

 

<<Hey Talon Leader, I like the unit crest. thnx alot.>>

Sweat dripped from Jaren's forehead and his heart beat rapidly as he unslung his sniper rifle from it's shoulder strap. This was his usual routine in the mornings. He would jog several kilometers out into the woods, practice shooting for an hour, and then jog back to the base.

He sat down crosslegged on the ground and unfolded the bipod on the rifle, cradling the weapon in his arms, familiarizing himself once again with it's weight. He took several medatative breaths to still his heart and willed his muscles to relax as he lay himself prone on the ground. Calm. His heart slowed and his breathing came under control. Then he barely breathed at all. He had to control his movement; every breath, every heartbeat could ruin a shot. At the same time he had to strech out with his hearing; become aware of everything around him so he wouldn't be taken by surprise.

Jaren took careful aim at the first practice target, waited until the shot was perfect, and fired. Then he lined up the second target and fired. And the third. Twenty minutes passed as he rotated between differet targets, hitting each with micron acuracy.

The soft whine of repulsorlifts brought Jaren back to the present. He stood up, slung the rifle over his shoulder and make his way to a large tree where he could watch the vehicle unnoticed. Not that he was really worried about being ambushed this close to the base, but it was good practice.

The repulsor craft made a wide circle of the area and came to a soft landing in a small clearing a hundred meters from his position. Captain Moozh, his CO, and a young woman dressed in spotless brown fatigues stepped out of the speeder and looked around expectantly.

Guess I won't keep them waiting, Jaren thought as he walked quickly toward the speeder.

"Captain," Jaren saluted as he approached the two women.

"Ah, Sergeant Kai," Captain Moozh began, returning the salute. "I thought I might find you out here." The Captain gestured to the woman, "Jaren, I want you to met Sergeant Telia Aris. She has been assigned to the unit as our infiltration and disguise specialist, but her scores in marksmanship actually qualify her to be a sniper. I want you to begin training her to be the backup sniper if we should need her." she paused. "I want you to begin immediately. Rumor has it we'll be handed new orders soon and I want to be ready. Good luck and may the Force be with both of you." With a quick salute, the General turned around and walked back to the airspeeder.

Jaren introduced himslef as he and Telia shook hands. Her short, brown hair and spotless uniform indicated that she was just out of training and newly promoted.

Great, Jaren thought as he wached the airspeeder rise into the sky and fly out of view. New recruits. I get stuck training the new recruits. He looked over at Sergeant Aris. She had keen, intelligent eyes and looked eager to learn. She might actually surprise him.

Well, lets get started, he thought with a sigh.

"Sergeant," Jaren began. "I hope you like to run, because that is the first activity for the day. I'll make you into a sniper if it kills me."

With that he handed her the rifle and took off at a fast jog.

Post people!!!

 

Name: Trika Adair Kenobi
Sex: Female
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Current Position: Intelligence officer/hacker

Much of Trika's past is not known, but the part that is shows to be painful. Her family was killed by snipers while they rushed to hide their children, Trika included. In a desperate time on her home planet, Trika fled to Luke Skywalker's Academy, hoping to become a Jedi like most of her friends had done before. When she arrived, however, she quit soon thereafter because of dissension between many of the apprentices. She is still left Force-sensitive, although she has little training.
She then joined up with Rogue Squadron, but with so many hotshots wanting to be on the squad, she was usually placed on ground base, where she was shoved away with a computer. This was where she learned the internal mechanics of computers along with hacking into other terminals. Rogue Squadron members became too numerous, so she was moved to theforce.net squadron, where she was placed in charge of the entire squadron. Commander Trika Kenobi soon left after her squad died out, never posting on the thread again.
Trika headed to Talon Squadron, where she hopes to grow into a family of fellow members and finally forget the painful past of her family.

 

Name: Kithera Rinani (Kit')
Age: 22
Height: 158cm (don't ask me to do feet and inches!)
Hair: Blonde and close cropped
Eyes: Brown
Race: Human

Kithera grew up in a large crime family on a planet (which shall not be named), she kinda fell into mechanics as she was too short and stocky to do any light work. She grew up with Rinin (who was her best friend). One day a boy arrived who said that he was her real brother and that the family she had grown up with had killed her real parents. Desperate and in shock Kit stole a ship and escaped without telling anyone.

More Notes***

Kithera is very shy about her appearance as she is short and stocky with a muscular build use to liftling things. She'll talk to anyone, but prefers to keep really close to only a couple of chosen people. She can fix virtually anything, and likes to help out whenever she can. Talon squad has given Kit a lot of responsibility and she tries her best to look after everyone sometimes at the expense of her own health. Kit is not force sensitive but relies on her instincts that she built up as a child to help her through.

****

Hope that helps out!!!!

Kithera

 

Check out the new thread, please.

 

All in all, Jaren had been rather impressed with Telia. She had a keen eye and a natural sense of her target. Despite having used an unfamiliar weapon, she had managed to hit all the stationary targets and more of the moving targets than he had expected.

She still, however, had a lot to learn. Being a good sniper was more than just being able to shoot. She would have to learn how to choose a good sniping position, how to move silently through various terrain types, and a host of other skills; work that would take several weeks at least.

As they neared the end of their run back to base, a short, grey-skinned figure stepped into their path causing Jaren and Telia to skid to a halt. Jaren identified the figure as Sergeant Rashka, the unit's noghri medic.

Rashka spoke in a gravelly voice, showing a row of sharp needle-like teeth. "Jaren clan Kai," the noghri began solemnly. "Your presence is requested in the briefing room. The Captain is conducting a planning session."

"A mission?" Jaren asked, a bit surprised.

The alien nodded slowly, eyeing Telia as if deciding whether or not she was a threat, and asked, "Is this human a new addition to our squad?"

"Come on," Jaren said with a nod. "I'll make introductions on the way."

Name: Obi-wan Jinn
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 18
Height: 6' even
Hair: Reddish (His hair looks like that of Gary Sinese's character in the recent movie "Mission to Mars", just for reference.)
Eyes: Green
Current Position in Talon Squad: Hacker

Obi-wan Jinn grew up on the planet Blonus, born shortly after his brother, Ty-gon, was chosen for the Jedi Academy by Luke Skywalker.
He was taught in the arts of Blonus, including computers, which he used later in life.
When he was 13, he witnessed his parents' deaths, at the hands of Darth Mulder, because of their service in the republic. When his brother came home to visit his parents, he found his parents gone, and a little brother.
Ty-gon left to buy food for the house.
In that short time, Mulder detected activity inside the house, and came back to kidnap him.
Jinn was sold into slavery with Kafal the Hutt, one of Mulder's minions. While there, he refined his hacking abilities, splicing into the Hutt's computer to find a way to escape. However, when Mulder wanted him back, Scynof's bad aim served him well, allowing him to escape, join the Talons, and kill Scynof.
Because midichlorians were on a recessive gene, Obi-wan is completely Force-Blind. The only Force-sensetive members of his family are his brother, and his great-uncle Qui-gon.
