Kian

**Summary**

Kian was a XX year old Force Sensitive Mirialan male who was a member of the Party until his death on the planet Skidrim Minor.

**Early Life**

Not much is known about Kian's early life, with his customary face tattoos not indicating much except for his birth on Mirial. He at some point discovered his Force Sensitivity, and later was hired by the XX company where he met the rest of the party.

**Employment by XX**

Kian received his first assignment along with the rest of the party, with the mission being to purchase parts from the junkyard to repair a ship. After Boris Johnson and Kanye East attempted to hold up the junkyard owner, a fight ensued, though Kian did not actively engage and only sought to escape. Upon the return to the base, Kian was disciplined for this behavior along with the rest of the party but retained his employment.

**Chasing the Informant**

*I'll catch him.* -Kian

The party's second assignment was to bring in an informant that had information on nearby pirate activity that was affecting company business. When they went into town, Kian attempted to purchase illicit Force related artifacts while the rest of the party searched for the informant. This resulted in him obtaining fortune telling dice, which he used in conjunction with the Force to attempt to discover the motives of the informant. The party tracked the informant to Bespin, and upon confronting him in one of the many bars in the city's lower levels, he fled. This resulted in a chase in which the party was separated, with Kian and Pheonix being the ones to apprehend the runaway. They returned to the ship, where they discovered that the other party members had fought a pair of bounty hunters that had been attempting to capture Kanye East. Kian expressed his annoyance that he had not witnessed the fight. When the party returned, they learned that the man they had captured was not the informant they had been seeking, and they had to return to Bespin. While it was relatively easy to capture the right man, Kian was greatly annoyed at the delay, as he had been wanting to explore the nearby forest for Jedi ruins.

**Meeting Uncle Joe**

After capturing the correct informant, the group was attacked by pirates, which necessitated a quick stop at a CR90 Corvette that had been converted into a spacefaring marketplace by Ecknar's uncle Joe Edwards. The party was introduced and was astonished by the variety and quality of the goods that Uncle Joe had for sale. Kian was especially impressed by the Kyber crystal that was for sale, and also purchased alchemical crafting materials.

**The Forest Expedition**

*I can sense the temple,* I *should lead!* -Kian

When the party first set out into the forest in an attempt to locate the ruins, Kian tried to tap into his connection to the Force in order to discern the location of the Jedi temple. He was unsuccessful, and the party wandered without direction for a while. Kian fell into an argument with Nick West about leadership of the expedition, which cumulated in Nick attacking Kian with his flamethrower. The situation was resolved by Boris and Ecknar Edwards, but Kian was angry with Nick and split from the party. After wandering for a while, Kian met up with Boris, and they decided to return to the *Gorgu.* Upon the return, they discovered that the party had completely split, and Nick, Ecknar, and Pheonix were in extreme danger, while Kanye was simply lost. Kian and Boris then attempted to rescue the party, though Kian was reluctant to save Nick. After the party was reunited, they declared that the expedition was a failure. Additionally, Kian crafted two rings of protection once he returned to base, keeping one for himself and selling one to Boris for 800 credits.

**Discovering the Temple**

The next day the party once again set out for the temple, and this time was successful in locating it. Upon arrival, Kian attempted to peer into the future but was unable to see anything except for a shadowy figure hidden inside. As the party closed in on the temple, they noticed that several security droids were guarding the entrance. While the rest of the party engaged, Kian snuck around the guards, being the first party member to enter the temple. He noted that the interior was dark and dusty, and he began to look around for any signs of life or any Jedi relics. He discovered a throne room, as well as a small sanctuary separated from the rest of the temple by a large chasm. Across this chasm was an old and twisted tree, and Kian found that meditating next to it would temporarily increase his connection to the Force. Later, Kian discovered XX, an old woman who was one of the last Jedi in the galaxy as well as the guardian of a rare and powerful Kyber crystal. She agreed to train Kian, in exchange for his agreement that when he gained the power of a Jedi Knight, he would challenge her for ownership of the crystal and become its new guardian. He agreed to these terms, and also agreed to keep her existence secret from the rest of the party.
