Zero Hyronkin

Zero Hyronkin was a mysterious Jedi whose skill and power in the Force were amazing. He didn't follow the path of a regular Jedi, instead he wandered from planet to planet hunting those who would harm the innocent and punishing them by any means he saw fit.

Early Life
Born on Ryloth to a outcast Jedi Khail Hydronkin and a former prostitue Armari Gilarmi, Zero grew up always traveling as his father was hunted by The Jedi Order. His life was normal other than the jedi training he was getting from his father and the constant traveling until a group of Jedi finally caught up with his father and he was forced to unleash a devastating blast of the Force to save his father. Once these Jedi saw this he was taken to the Jedi Temple or he would've had to watch his father killed for his supposide crimes. When he arrived he was tested in various areas of the jedi arts and was found to be unbelievably skilled in Lightsaber Combat and offensive Force Powers, but his talents weren't limtied to combat only he was proven to be a skilled leader and negotiator. after many years of refined training he was assigned to Master Garm Darkin who was known for his relaxed teaching methods. He also proved his military prowess during the 2nd Clone Wars leading the elite 511th Regiment or better known as The Zordai Raiders after their orignial commander Garlath Zordai. During the wars he became a master known for his combat talents and tactical prowess. After the wars came to an end he decided to leave the order and take a more active role in peacekeeping his own way but still kept his ties to the order.

Life as a Nomad
20 years after him leaving the order now aged over 70 (but still looks young due to his father's genetics). Zero has become a well known Sith and Bounty hunter in the Outer and inner Rim. He has also taken in a young grey jedi named Kali Myjari who he been taching all using his old master's teaching methods. one day during a resting period on Zeltros, Zero visited one of his many Zeltron girlfreinds Deliah Harin to get some infomation on a potentual Sith cultist who has been smuggling illegal weapons into Corusant and around the outer-rim. But Deliah didn't want to give up with info without getting something worth her while, so Zero and Deliah spent the night 'catching up'. The next day Zero left on slightly shakey legs back to his hotel where he found his padawan waiting for him. After a good-old complaining session they decided it was time to move against this cult and stop their smuggiling operation. En route to one of the cult's known hideouts they were attacked by a pair of Cultist fighters which were quickly destroyed thanks to the talents of their astromech droid R5-R4. Upon landing they formulated a plan to get in by splitting up they found two unguarded entrances, two air-vents which led them to the main storage hanger. Once they met up inside the hanger they quickly made their way to the command centre where they came across a group of force-sensitive cultists and one of the council members within the cult. They were easily sensed by the Council member and were forced to fight. The Cultists were easily beaten due to Zero's skill in lightsaber combat and his Padawan's natural speed and agility. But the Council member who introduced himself as Darth Kain wasn't as easy, He managed to knock-out Kali and ignited his lightsaber to duel Zero. Kain proved himself to be a strong opponant even for Zero who spent a large part of the duel on the defensive.

Eventually Zero noticed a weakspot in his attacks. After every six attacks KAin pulled back for a seventh power-strike which left him open for a strike to his chest, stomach, arms and legs. Zero exploited this quickly upon noticing it. This forced Kain on the defensive and eventually his death Zero used a Shiak technique to the chest then followed by a Sai Tok cutting him in half, but Kain's torso didn't seperate from his legs due to the speed of the cut so Zero kicked the torso into a reactor tube. After which he tossed some timed detenators down the tube and grab his Padawan who was just waking up from being knocked out and ran at full speed towards the Outcast. They managed to escape just in time and left for Tatoonine and begin to make further plans against this cult.

After several weeks of fighting agsint the cult (including defeating some Cult hired Jedi-Hunters). They were summoned to Corusant by The Jedi Council. Where they were asked to aid in a investigation to uncover a potentual Sith threat on the planet, Zero was uneasy about this offer as his departure form the order was less than freindly but he accepted it either way.

Adventures on Corusant
After accepting the offer from The Jedi Council he was taken to the other members of the teskforce. When he arrived he met one of his old freinds as a jedi padawan Ishvan Darkim which was a shock as he thought Ishvan was killed during the 2nd Clone wars. After catching up quickly they got their brifing on what this taskforce is to do on the planet. The Jedi MAster in command said one line "Stop all Sith". After the breifing the jedi and Corusant Guards were assigned to teams to cover a sector. During the search Zero's team consisting of his Padawan, Ishvan and three Clone Commandos of Republic intelligence named Grives, Dodos and Hush. They were assigned to the underworld and patroled it for days with no sightings. Eventually they spotted a member of The Order of the Crimson Star, they followed him and fought through various combat droids used by the cult until they reached the cult's hideout. Though they were ordered to wait for back-up when they locate the base Zero and his team rushed in and began to fight through the base as the other teams joined them to fight against atleast fifty lightsaber combat droids, cultists and sith While the commandos went off to get as much data as they could gather and destroy any weapons the Jedi took on the lightsaber weilding combatants infront of them. Despite the Jedi being outnumbered two to one they fought hard Zero aiding his allies when he can eventually they beat the droids and cultists but the afew sith retreated and vanished. Once they met up with the Commandos and made their way back to Headquaters located in Senate District, Zero and his team were repremanded for going in alone.

After afew days going through all the data recovered from the base the team find out the locations of several 'forward bases' around the republic and also plans for a 3rd Clone War. Though they were far too late to stop the start of the war they were in time to destroy the forward bases on key planets around the replubic. During one raid Zero lost his left arm to a sith but was fitting with a cybernetic arm that had renforced cortosis plating. after adapting to the arm he returned to THe Jedi Temple and was asked by the Grand MAster to follow him. As he followed they talked about his father and how they discovered how he was framed and he is to be buried with full honors befitting a Jedi of his caliber, the two Jedi eventually reached a military staging area and met up with Master Darkin who presented the 12th Sector Army (The republic are still using the imperial order of battle) the most elite and dangerous of the twelve sector armies in THe New Republic Armed Forces. Zero was asked to lead the 25th System army comprising of 2 million highly trained and deadly clone troopers and was one of two system armies within the 12th. Zero was hesitent at first but accepted and went to inspect one of the newest variations of clone troopers the Forber Troopers of The Star Raiders which comprised of twenty Force-Sensitive Clone Troopers and two force-sensitive Intelligence Agents from The New Republic Intelligence Agency. After Zero had finished his inspection of the Fober Troops under his command as well as the other Special Forces units he went back to his apartment and began training with his new arm.

Start of the War
Afew weeks after Zero was placed in command of the 25th System Army he was called to the main command centre for the armed forces and was breifed with the other Jedi and Clone officers that the war has begun and they were to engage enemy forces who ahs slipped through the secsor gribs around the galaxy. As Zero left with his Clone Masrhel Arkin he asked "Is it the same enemy we fought last time?" Arkin nodded "Yes sir, it's the Sith Imperium again seems they've left their area of unknown space and began another campain to take out galaxy." Zero smirked and joined his old master and the other commanders at the transport area and made their way to their fleet's flagship The Executor II a new version of the legendary Executor-class Star Dreadnaught which all Sector armies have as the flagship. As the fleets gathered and all the troops boarded their ships they deployed to their engagement sectors. The 12th Sector army was deployed to Kalee to aid the native tribes in repelling this new droid army. Once they landed they set up defensive positions aroudn the canyon landing zones and began to figure out a plan or two. Zero devised a plan which would eliminate a long range communications and Artillery base on the eastern flank, so the main force could advance. The plan required him to take his personal unit The Star Raiders the best of all the Forber Troopers, They entered the perimeter of the the base with eight Clone Commandos of Delta Squad and Omega Squad and went through the base clearing it of all droids that could fire a blaster and disabled the artillery and communications and prepared for a counter attack. As they built makeshift barricades and set up traps aroudnt he base they noticed The Imperium's answer to the Forber Troopers, THe Dark Stars a Regiment of artifical force-users trained int eh dark arts. While the Forber troopers delt with them the commandos delt with any droids sent in to assist The Dark Stars.

Zero was in the thick of the fight dueling the leader of the DS unit sent to fight them, both used a elegant style their moves were as graceful and as beautiful as the oldest dance. Neither landed a strike to eachother until Zero used a technique he dubbed The Sleeping Demon which required his opponant to attack first, as his opponants tried a downwards slash to his head he brings his blade back and slashes across the stomach severing the spin. As Zero disengaged his lightsaber his opponant fell to his knees and said "I am glad i fought you....it was...an honor" and fell to the group dead. Zero then turned around and bowed to the fallen warrior and replied "As it was an honor for me." With the skirmish won the Forber Troopers and Commandos were releived by the 112th Combat Regiment. Wehn they arrived at the main base for the Republic troops they found out that they had taken teh city they were attacking and had secrued a landing zone for supplies all that was needed was to take the rest of the planet and free the natives. This battle would last two more weeks.

Mid War and Covert Ops
Afew months after the battle of Kalee Zero and his forces were assigned to protect a supply route from Corusant to Yavin Zero was given a Squadron consisting of the Star Destroyer Orion, 4 Cruisers and 6 Frigates. They arrived and encoutered no trouble for afew days but suddenly a small raiding party of Imperium forces attack and boarded the combat ships, Most of the attack was focused at Zero's ship THe Orion. Zero hurried down to the lower levels to help fight against the droid raiders, he made his way to deck 3 and encountered a large group of droids attacking a squad of Clone Troopers and a team of Commandos. Zero didn't waste time he charged and cut through several droids in one slash then proceded to cut through the rest, after the droids were taken out he ordered the commandos to follow him so they could aid the other troopers. As they ran down the corridors he got a communication from Drek the leader of his Forber squad, The Star Raiders he imformed Zero that all Forber troops on board have been dispached to aid in the fight Zero achknowlegded this and told him to keep up the fight as he ran off to find the commander he suddenly sensed. En route to the aura he came across his padawan who was finishing off a Cultist. Zero smirked and got her to follow him to the source of the aura and they found a member of the Imperium Council a Darth Markin, they attacked and dueled the council member furiously but were beaten afew minutes Zero lost his right leg and his padawan Kali was stabbed through the stomach but survived. Markin laughed and left as The Star Raiders entered the room. Zero was taken to medical after they won the battle and was fitted with a cybertic leg simialr to his arm. After spending some time recovering he worked on refining his style as he saw weaknesses developing.

Due to using two styles that involve dual saber combat and the Jar'Kai style itself he is a master at using two Lgihtsabers or a Lightsaber and Shoto in each hand. Zero is primarily a left handed swordsman but can just as easily use his right hand.

Force Powers
Zero has incredible power in the force able to use telekinisis to near it's limits he has been seen lifting tanks, and pulling frigates from low orbit and has the potentual to pull a cruiser but this puts a great strain on his body and the last time he tried it almost killed him. He can also use Force Lightning, also he has talent in Disable droid, Mind Trick, Force Speed and Farsight.

Unarmed Combat
Zero is also a master of Teräs Käsi, Tae-Jitsu, the Echani martial arts and Kal'dar Mench using them to full effect when his lightsaber is un-useable or he has been disarmed. He mainly uses kicks and acrobatic techniques to fight unarmed but does use other forms of strikes in his style.

Covert Ops training
During his time in command of the Zordai Raiders he was taught by his second in command Clone Commander Ryker who was one of the best covert operatives in the Clone Army.

High Willpower
Even the best Jedi can be effected by powerful pheromones. and Zero has incredible willpower allowing him to counter those pheromones allowing him to resist the seduction of even the most beautiful Zelton women (Desite him dating a large number of them).

Equipment

 * Lightsabers: Zero has five lightsabers, four of which are regular lightsabers but one is a shoto which he has had since he was a padawan. Each lightsaber has similar hilt designs, each hilt looks similar to the hilts of the Jedi Katana but without the hilt guard and are silver and black. the blades are purple except the shoto which has a silver blade.
 * Tracking devices: Zero has various tracking devices which vary from Jedi to illegal devices which he can place on his intended target quite easy.
 * Body Armor: Zero designed his armor after finding a historical record accounting Darth Krayt's Sith Troopers and based it on that unit's armor without the arm mounted guns and cybernetic uplinks. The major changes he made was the colour scheme which invovled various tribal designs covering parts of the chest, arms, legs and helmet (which he doesn't wear all the time). The underlay which has a similar appearence to the legendary armor of Darth Vader is made of Armorweave making it more resistant to lightsabers.

Ship(s)

 * The Outcast: A Z8X-NR Foray VI-class Blockade Runner, which is based on the old Foray-CLass Bloackade Runner which was used during Old Republic Era. The armament consists of 4 Dual Turbolasers, 2 light Ion Cannons and 4 Light anti-starfighter cannons which are all controlled by his Astromech droid R5-R4.
