Tyren Kotan

Tyren Kotan is a human Jedi Master who is apart of the Jedi Council of the newly reformed Guardians. He is the son of legendary Jedi Gaven Kotan and also co-founded the IV Jedi Order with Arch Bannon on Endor. 
== Background ==
Tyren was born to Gaven and Navia Kotan, his father being Grand Master of the 3JO and a legendary Jedi to be marked in the Jedi Archives forever. He had a lot to live up to and when he reached a certain age he was sent to the 3JO Academy on Tython to begin his training as a Padawan under the teachings of Jedi Master Bane who was his father's long time friend as well as the Master of the Order. Tyren had many things to live up to and was soon the eldest sibling to a Jaina and Cadence Kotan. He was promoted to Jedi Knight when he killed Darth Krayt on Coruscant at the age of 15 soon taking on his younger brother Cadence as his Padawan learner. When the 2nd Sith Wars came into play, the three Kotan siblings were pivotal players in the War, although they hardly participated in major battles during the war they were feared by Sith and criminals alike as they were mainly sent on covert and personal missions that aided the 3JO and Republic in other ways. Tyren's major accomplishments during the War was the Battle For Felucia and the Destruction of the Sith's HQ. 
The Battle for Felucia was a conflict where Sith invaded a Republic controlled Felucia which was one of the last major conflicts in the war. Tyren's father was on the planet to initially defend the planet although they were soon overwhelmed and were put on the brink of losing the planet which would have turned the tides of the War. Tyren arrived with a massive army of reinforcements, leading them into battle he won it and was made a Jedi Commander in the Republic's military. Following the victory of the 2nd Sith Wars, Tyren was in-expendable to the 3JO having been made in charge of many regiments and outposts of the 3JO. As his father and many of the Senior Jedi grew old he was still in the prime of his age and was the first to locate the next Sith Order and upon doing so managed to destroy one of their council members, crippling their leadership from the beginning. Tyren was made a Jedi Master for that and often was seen in charge of most of the battles in the next Wars to come. His father Gaven was killed on Hoth by a Mandalorian raid and with the rest of the Council refusing to take the GM mantle, Tyren had no choice but to take it. He led several successful campaigns against the Sith, Mandalorians and the Empire managing to continue the legacy that his father had left him with. 
However during The Great War, the Sith nuked Tython and decimated the Jedi Order with Tyren believed to be killed in action. Without the Jedi's advice, the Republic responded with nuclear attacks as well which then became the most dangerous and yet epic Wars that Galaxy had ever seen. With the Galaxy falling to chaos, Tyren soon came back into the scene and re-organized the Jedi under the name of the Jedi Order IV. He led the IV in the only war it participated against several rivaling Sith factions. 
They won the war, with the help of a Tyren influenced alliance between the IV and the Mandalorian Protectors. But shortly after, his co-leader Arch Bannon betrayed Tyren having taken most of the elite Jedi and sided with the Republic when they turned on the remaining Jedi and purged and hunted them leaving them to brink of extinction. Following this he would later go into exile at a small camp on the planet of Ossus far away from the Republic's eyes. He would come into contact with Kyle Justice and Roaric, both Jedi Masters. They then organized The Guardians, an order dedicated to bringing back peace and prosperity to all of those in the galaxy as well as eradicating enemies like the Republic and keeping their eyes open for returning Sith as they were deemed more extinct then the Jedi at that point. Soon the Sith would return which which then throw the rival factions into the brink of war, currently considered to be a Cold War.
=== EARLY LIFE ===
Tyren was born on Tython to Gaven Kotan and a mother who had left early in his life. He was born just when the 2nd Sith Civil War was coming to a close and the 3rd Jedi Order and the Dark Knights of the Black Rose were being declared the victor. When Tyren was 3, the 3 Manadalorians named Vontross, Veliannara and Zazel were declared Mandalores of the Mandalorian Empire.Tyren was on Coruscant training as a young Jedi Initiate at the Jedi Temple when the Dark Knights of the Black Rose attempted to sack Coruscant by attacking first the Jedi Temple. He has few memories of this event since he was quickly rushed out of the Temple to leave the Sith to Gaven and the rest of the Jedi. He was sent to Tython where he would continue his training in secrecy until order was restored back on Coruscant. But, Tython proved to be more interesting to Tyren so he he decided to stay on Tython for good until he reached the rank of Jedi Padawan. 
For the next two years he trained as a Jedi under the 3rd Jedi Order and was then promoted to the rank of Padawan on and was then suited with Jedi Master Bane, a veteran Jedi and close friend to his father, Gaven. They went on several missions together and stayed closely by each others sides for years to come. Tyren now at age 10 he then traveled back to Coruscant to start his missions with his Master. One of his most reknown missions was when he was age 12 where he and Bane were sent to Nar Shaada to track a Sith that was undercover was a Jedi. Since in this time, the Jedi were at war with the Sith who were currently formed as an Empire, the days were dark and Nar Shaada was a bad place. Tyren and Bane went to a local Cantina where they soon found and confronted the Sith right outside of the cantina. A large battle ensued with several Sith Acolytes and the Sith Lord himself against Bane and Tyren. Tyren was facing about 3 Acolytes at a time, managing himself he manages to slay all of them while Bane faced the Sith Lord but was bested by him. Before the Sith could finish him off, with relentless speed Tyren managed to cut off the Sith's head before he could kill his Master. That following year at only age 13 he had achieved the rank of Jedi Knight due to his Valor on Nar Shaada. Now a fully fledged Jedi, he could take part in the on-going war with the Sith Empire. Although he and Bane continued to remain close allies and often did missions together.
== Father Returns ==
Tyren's father came back from the war after being overhwhelmed with War for the last 7 years. When he left, Tyren was just a mere Initiate but was very surprised to see that Tyren managed to obtain the rank of Jedi Knight so quickly. He was proud of Tyren. In the next two years, Tyren began to become a very valuable asset to the Jedi Revolution and although he did not partake and the major battles recorded in History, he did the unknown grunt work that made everything happen. At age 15, Tyren took on his younger brother Cadence as his Padawan and began to focus on his brother's training more than the war. They would do small time work together on several planets and often work with their sister, Jaina who was now also a Knight at age 13. 
They became known as the Kotan 3 that was a name that was feared by the low lifes and some Sith, since they were all exceeding even some Jedi Master's abilities at such young ages.Tyren was 16 and gained infamy over the years of fighting. Most people knew of him on Coruscant and even more knew of the Kotan 3 or the Gaven 3. But during this year Tyren was framed by the Sith in hopes that he would stop hitting their pressure points and get off their backs when he was sent on a solo mission to Hoth where he was found standing over several civilian bodies. He was put on trial by the High Council and even though Gaven was his father, the trial ensued. The only way he proven innocent was Cadence and Jaina going out and catching one of the Sith on Hoth and brought before the Council and forced to tell the truth. Sadly, this trial lasted over 2 years and Tyren was kept in their custody. This only strengthened Tyren's allegiance to the Light Side when he realized that holding grudges did not solve anything and only respected his father and the Jedi for keeping to their ways. When Tyren was 20, he made his first debut in a major battle against the Sith Empire which was an assault against the Sith Headquarters. He, his father, Broco Durron, Bane, and several other Jedi along with a local militia waged a large battle against the Headquarters. Tyren was given the title of Lordship and was in charge of most of the Coruscanti Militia to distract most of the Sith troopers while Gaven and the rest of the more experienced Jedi would go to confront the Sith Lords at the base. Although Tyren was very capable of holding his own, he struggled commanding a Military force and lost the battle that he was in charge of winning. Although he lost the battle and most of his soldiers he distracted the troopers long enough so that Gaven could kill one Sith Lord and place a bomb on the Headquarters and escape just in time and to see it explode.
=== Gain of Notoriety ===
Things were looking good for the 3rd Jedi Order after only a year had passed since they destroyed the Sith Headquarters. The 3JO was gaining notoriety and more and more force-sensitives were being founded and begun training as Jedi of the 3JO. Tyren was 21 years old and still a Jedi Knight. He and his older sister Jaina had been growing an intense connection while they seemed to be always working together on missions and battles. They always fought well together and when Cadence would join them, they were even stronger. All three of them were Jedi Knights and the biggest asset that the 3JO had at their disposle. Tyren befriended Jedi Master Broco Durron a member of the 3JO High Council as well. Two years later, somthing unexpected happened. Tyren and Jaina were on Felucia attempting to resolve a border dispute between two local tribes of Felucians when a Sith Army was deployed onto Felucia. At the time, Tyren and Jaina were one of the only few Jedi on Felucia except for their father, Gaven who was the 3JO Coven on Felucia. After seeing the Army deployed they rushed back to the Coven but saw it occupied by the Army. With distraught thoughts of their father's fate they fled back to Coruscant to alert the High Council of the invasion. Sadly, they missed everything and soon realized that Gaven had survived Felucia and already came back to Coruscant and then left to Felucia again with 50 Jedi and 5,000 mobile troopers. 
Tyren and Jaina were about to go back to Felucia but were stopped by bounty hunters led by a Sith Lord. This kept them extremly busy and a small battle ensued on Coruscant involving the two parties. These bounty hunters were obviously hired by the Sith Empire to eradicate the Skywalker 3 but they bounty hunters were delt with but the battle was rough with the Sith Lord. Tyren was wounded by the Sith which left it up to Jaina who took Tyrens lightsaber to even the odds. Fortunately Jaina bested the Sith and was killed. But by the time this was over, news spread of the Battle for Felucia and they rushed back to the Senate building where they convinced the Senate to reinforce their father. They led the Force of 20,000 Troopers into Felucia which quickly ended the battle. 
There they met up with Cadence and Master Ardo Kovacs who was severly injured during the battle. They quickly learned that their father and Broco had gone to destroy the Sith who was in charge of the Invasion Force. 2 years later, Jaina and Tyren were made Jedi Masters and deemed heroes of the 2nd Sith Wars along with Broco Durron and Bane. The New Republic was re-instated as the government of the Galaxy and controled the Sith Empire planets, eradicating and dissolving both the Sith Empire and the Dark Knights of the Black Rose. The Grand Army of the New Republic was established estimating at around 5 million Soldiers enlisted within the first year and quickly grew.
=== Brother Hood ===
Tyren did not play a major role in most events after so we will fast forward to his next major event. Tyren was stationed on Dagobah under the order of his father, Gaven Kotan to protect a section off of the 3JO called the Brotherhood of the Jedi. While he was stationed and on a scouting mission the base was attacked by a Sith Lord named Vetis and he encountered the Brotherhood's leader Thrash Kilvian and severely wounded him but was chased off by Tyren. Tyren then hologramed Gaven about the encounter which he was then approved to go and track him since the 3JO was suspicious about a certain Sith Order that Vetis may have been affiliated with. Tyren met Jedi Master Hodaviro at a supposed Sith location that Vetis may be located at where they then confronted not only Vetis but the entire Sith Council led by Darth Atrum, a long standing Sith and old rival to Tyren's father. Instead of them all attacking the Jedi, Atrum sent Vetis to attack Tyren who Tyren killed in a grueling battle. At this point, a rogue Sith came into the chambers and sent spirits of passed Sith and Jedi to attack everyone, Tyren struggled but managed to survive as did Hodaviro. 
He spoke with Atrum about Jedi and Sith, being offered to take Vetis's place. When Tyren declined, Atrum's second in command attacked Tyren who Tyren bested but did not kill. He left there with Hodaviro and returned to Tython. Then soon after Tyren's father Gaven Kotan was killed by Mandalorian raiders on a 3JO Outpost on Hoth. This sent the 3JO into chaos as the High Council could not figure out who was the right person for the job. After a series of attempts at Grand Master by other Jedi, Tyren finally stepped up to take the reigns of the 3JO. A year later, The Great War broke out that lasted for 10 long years against 3 seperate Sith Orders that were also at war with each other. Tyren put his true leadership skills to test as this was his first war as Grand Master and was instated as Jedi High General over the GFFA Military and achieved many victories leading to several medals bestowed upon him during the war time by the GFFA. Although soon Tyren began to notice how this war was escalating far too quickly and that all sides were losing a lot of numbers. Although in his best attempts to plead with the GFFA to stop the War and come to a treaty, he had failed. He continued his campaign as Jedi High General and achieved many victories in the later years of the War, in the end there were only a handful of Jedi left as well as Sith and they were all at the same battle. 
It was Tyren and Jedi Masters Odi Kodu, a man who faught in many Wars with his father, Kyntaro Kilvian one of Tyren's apprentices and son to an old friend Thrash Kilvian, Jeral Monhe another veteran who faught along Tyren's father, Michael Sabbath a former Grand Master who stepped down and gave it to Tyren. During the battle, each one of them was spread out commanding different sections of the battlefield. The Sith attacked consisting of Darth Decepticus, Atrox, Dementis, Aldair and Vex Shadow commanding their forces. Tyren doesn't know what happened to his fellow remaining Jedi or to the Sith that attacked, he barely won the battle by killing Decepticus, Atrox and Dementis while Aldair and Vex were nowhere to be found. Tyren searched for the bodies of the Jedi, but they weren't found. Although they were never confirmed dead, the Galaxy proclaimed Tyren as the sole survivor and the last of the Jedi.
=== Restoration ===
Tyren's next mission was the restoration of the Jedi which took a few years in the process of finding all new force sensitives. Finally Tyren found enough force sensitives to restore the Jedi under the banner Jedi Order IV on Tython where he now resides as Grand Master of the Jedi once more. Soon after, the Order was attacked by Tyren's distant relative Korran Kotan, the member of the opposite side of his family, the dark side of his family. Korran waged war on the entire Galaxy going to the Sith first and murdering their Dark Lord and then finally came here. Jedi Knight Markus Chitt was there to back Tyren up as he charged in for Korran who was able to out duel Markus and slice off his lower legs while Tyren threw his saber to in return cut off Korran's leg and he then continued to severe Korran's connection to the Force.
Shortly after, Tyren would disappear from the Jedi and the galaxy after going on a solo mission to Tatooine that which he never came back from. The IV considered him to be MIA or presumed dead after months of searching for him. Upon Tyren's return he was subsequently demoted to rank of Jedi Knight by Morgan Katarn IV, now Grand Master of the IV. Tyren angered over his demotion left Tython. Sith and Mandalorians invaded Tython while Tyren was off planet, the invasion destroyed what was left of the Jedi besides Tyren and Jedi General Bannon, whom joined Tyren in fleeing to Endor and fortifying his old exile home into a Jedi camp and safehaven where together they now lead a small band of some 40 or so Jedi against the reigning Sith that have taken control of the galaxy. Tyren made contact with an old friend named Jeral Monhe, a past Jedi Master of the 3JO High Council and esteemed General of the 3rd Sith Civil Wars/3rd Sith Wars. He also made contact with Jedi Lord Rodale Kotan, an old Jedi Master of the 3JO as well who after the 3JO collapsed retreated to Kashyyk and personally protected the planet.
Shortly after this, the camp became under attack by Havok squad who then killed Rodale and invaded the camp but were repelled by a Tyren and Bannon led army of Jedi that retook their camp and killed Havok's squad leader. Some months later, the Sith continued to stay hidden while some speculated that there were no Sith anymore, General Bannon and many other Jedi soon lay down their sabers and vanished leaving Tyren in exile by himself on Endor once again. Soon, Tyren moved to Ossus which was a much more remote planet where he knew the Republic would not find him. He would cross paths with Kyle Justice and Roaric, both Jedi Masters from other small factions of remaining Jedi. Together they formed The Guardians, an order dedicated to bringing peace and prosperity back to the people of the Galaxy as well as eradicating the Republic and keeping an eye out for the Sith. Instead of using generic organizations of past Jedi Orders they instead dissolved the rank of Grand Master and formed the Guardian's Council(GC) with Tyren, Kyle and Roaric as the members. Each of them now lead a class or specification of Jedi. Tyren currently leads the Jedi Rangers who are known to be survival experts, hand to hand experts and tacticians. Currently, the hold the edge in numbers and strength over the rising number of the Sith as a war will soon break.
=== Sacking of Ossus ===
To Be Announced
== Personality ==
Tyren started out as a very generic and ordinary Jedi Knight during the days of the 3JO. For a while, he had no need to develop a more deep personality due to the 3JO still adhering to the Jedi Code very strictly having emotions and love still being forbidden. He entered the Jedi Order during the 2nd Sith Wars, one of the most drastic wars in the galaxies's history to date. He was a natural leader and winner on the battlefield and due to his many victories he had not been able to develop his characteristics that you usually do when you lose a battle or fight. He lost his first battle when he was in charge of distracting the Sith's Army while his father and a Jedi Strike Force entered the HQ to sabotage their base. Although the sabotage was successful the Sith's Army managed to get the best of Tyren's forces thus causing Tyren to suffer his first defeat as a military leader and to take a step back and understand that he was not perfect. 
His personality drastically changed when his father was killed in a skirmish on Hoth where he was thrown into the role of Grand Master where he had to rise up to the occasion being the youngest Grand Master in the Jedi's long history. Ever since then his leadership qualities grew increasingly as the Council at the time was weak and the Jedi and the Republic depened on him to lead them. Later when the 3JO fell to constant Sith attacks, Tyren went into exile where he developed a deep psych of his own becoming much more calm when it came to fighting and has his first romantic experience with a fellow Jedi exile, giving new perceptions on life and a more creative thinking process. Founding the Jedi Order IV, heading it as Grand Master and Lead Ranger he would have the luxury of traveling to far-flung planets where he would meet a large variety of different people, giving him new perceptions on life as well. 
Although once he suffered his witnessing of the second Jedi Order colapase, he developed a slightly darker persona, having dressed in more dark clothing although he always retained his Jedi morals he is frequently seen as an anti-hero to many. Although his new anti-hero traits serve him for the best as he is able to see things for how they are to be more realistic about things. From his anti-hero traits came a more downwards demeanor where there may have been less facial expressions although he was never the quiet type he was usually the one leading discussions and plans having always been in charge of planning missions and battles out tactically, something he attained while being a Ranger as well. His streak of bad luck continued as he lost his cousin Korran and brother Kade'ol to the dark side having to end Korran's life personally and exiling Kade'ol. Although through all of these dark times he has actually retained a more positive outlook on life and is often has been sought out by most Jedi to be given advice to and has disavowed the rule of restricting emotions and love within the Jedi because of his personal beliefs that emotions can be used to guide Jedi as long as they are kept in check.
== Attire & Gear ==
== Personal Belongings ==
== Force Powers ==
*Force sight
*Animal Friendship
*Force illusion
*Wall of Light
===Force Fists===
Tyren invented this technique by himself during his time of exile on Ossus. He generates two visible balls of force energy in the palm of his hands that eventually wrap around his entire fists. The purpose of this skill is that it increases the power and speed of his punches and also increases the overall movements of his arms. He can also choose to have them wrap up his entire arm length where it then would increase the overall stats of his arms. He also has a wildcard move with them where he can choose to turn them into a projectile that are extremely powerful yet take a full post for the transition from close combat to ranged. This is known to be Tyren's signature move.
== Extra Information ==
Grapple/Athleticism: Tyren was always be almost considered super human even up to his age now. The connection to the Force that he and his family carries is tremendous and very complex which in turn gives him incredible force strength. Also, being a Jedi Ranger he is an expert at hand to hand combat being unmatched by most without The Guardians.
