Tyrael Reznik

Tyrael Reznik (//) was a male half-Qua, half-.

Trainee and trainer
Born on an unknown planet in the, Tyrael was be on the move constantly. Born to two Matukai, one master and one apprentice, the young boy was raised constantly around the Force and trained to use it from a very young age. His parents took young Tyrael all throughout the galaxy and even out into the, where he was raised and helped in his training.

When he was of sufficient age, the young man struck out on his own, traveling to various planets all throughout the Unknown Regions before finally wandering into the Outer Rim where he spent a number of years. It was during this time in the Outer Rim that he discovered a young girl by the name of Keili Frayzeer. Having technically completed his training and been granted Master status in his order, he took the young as his apprentice and began to train her in the Matukai ways.

Perils unknown
After his time in the and, Tyrael retreated to the Unknown Regions once more and the safety of the places he knew. It was on the planet of Shel Du that he met an extraordinary local, a Vimesk named Grace. It was there that the man put away his and settled down to have a family. Marrying Grace, Tyrael remained on her home world for no other reason than she enjoyed it still and he saw no reason to move if she was happy. Together they began a family where they had three children, two girls, Abilene and Maiya, as well as a boy named Salth.

For eleven years Tyrael enjoyed piece and a family before the war came home. Having been able to safely avoid the constant civil war on Shel Du, it was a shock when the small town that Tyrael and Grace had been living in was attacked by the opposing army. Having taken up a job as a scout, Tyrael could only arrive too late once word of the attack came and the man was decimated to discover that his entire family had been murdered by the opposing army.

Recluse
As angry as he was the opposing forces had already started to move on. Being a natural wanderer Tyrael packed up his weapons and headed back to the known regions, far from the pain of Shel Du. It was there that he settled on and began to work as a simple shop keep, selling supplies to the local farmers and townsfolk. When his talent with a bow caster was discovered he began to take various tourists out to the icy regions and hunt big game if he was paid for it. In his private time, he drank to excess, and was rarely both sober and conscious at the same time in off hours.

After 145 ABY, Tyrael came to know Reiko Kaytana and Alluria Solios, who were part of a small commune of farmers living just outside the city limits. Sensing the Force in them, he tried to avoid them, not wanting anything to do with any Force users or the skills with which he had been trained. Tyrael also interacted with Souv Tanake, a appointed  over Belsavis's sector. Souv tried to coax Tyrael out of his alcoholism, and he grudgingly became her friend.

Alluria and Reiko could similarly sense Tyrael's abilities, and this brought him to the attention of Rin Sakaros, who was uncomfortable with a Force user so close to her "extended family". She sent her niece, Rayne Turgachia, to spy on Tyrael, but was persuaded not to have the Matukai assassinated when it became obvious he was dangerous to no one but himself.

Relocation
In 150 ABY, Tyrael had grown weary of life on Belsavis. Souv had disappeared, and he sank back into depression. Setting out in his freighter, he made his way back to the Unknown Regions, wandering in what had once been territory. There he was picked up by Captain Kaselt Vren and the Convarion.

After Reznik single-handedly defeated half a squad of Royal Marines despite being so drunk he could barely stand, Captain Vren realized he had something irregular and called for a Centurion to assist him. Axelia Solios sensed Reznik's Force powers and recognized his Matukai Wan-Shen, and took the man into the Order's custody after a brief fight. Forcing him to dry out and sober up, she finally brought him before her cousin Rin, Queen of the Golden Empire.

Tyrael was persuaded to tell Rin his story (although Vos'elk'eetash used on him when he spat in the Queen's presence). Though she confined him to the Empire and had his freighter's deleted, Rin took pity on Tyrael for his sufferings and pardoned him of the crimes for which he had been arrested. He was given citizenship in the Empire, ordered to obey the law, and sent on his way.

Before he left the Sith Star, Reznik was allowed to see Souv Tanake, who was Rin's indefinite guest aboard. Her support of the Empire eased some of his concerns, and each was pleased to reunite with the other.

Powers and abilities
As a Matukai, Tyrael was given lengthy training in martial arts and channeling the Force through his body. He was sufficiently skilled to incapacitate several armed Royal Marines while unarmed and drunk himself, and Centurion and former Axelia Solios felt Tyrael's hand-fighting skills were beyond her own. However, Tyrael had markedly less success defending himself from Force-based attacks; even while sober, Axelia incapacitated him with a, and Selkee's Malacia overwhelmed him almost instantly.

Tyrael trained with a variety of weapons. In addition to his Matukai Wan-Shen, he was also proficient in the use of blaster weapons, and carried a pair of modified s as his weapons of choice while hunting.

Appearance and personality
Due to his martial arts conditioning, Tyrael was well-muscled. He stood 1.80 meters (5'11") tall, and his black hair had a perpetually windblown look. His right eye was green, and his left blue.  Though his Qua heritage gave him a reduced version of the Qua healing factor, his Kiffar ancestry also endowed him with a tough, hardy constitution.

Tyrael was capable of great love and affection for those to whom he was close, but the loss of his family hardened him and made him seek emotional escape and solitude. He did not willingly become close to anyone, although he reluctantly conceded to spending time with Souv Tanake; he enjoyed her company despite his distaste for company in general.

Because his Qua genes made it difficult for him to become intoxicated, Tyrael drank to extents that would have killed s and similar species. Forcibly dried out from his alcoholism while in the custody of the Golden Empire, he was uncomfortable lacking his escape from his feelings and pain, but agreed to try it out for a while at Souv's request.
