Flase Torum

Genus High Committee

Ep. 2

Ep. 3

Flase Torum is an **ardian** male and the second in command to **Kendar**. He was secretly trained by Kendar and **Korlen Reed**, who was his main master, in the **Genus Unity**. Torum is from **Hexillion** and he specializes in strategic battle. He is very intelligent and very skilled in battle because of his race's exposure to the battle planet.

Flase Torum is skeptical about newcomers who aren't integrating themselves into the **Genus** **Pantheon** because he knows the struggle that occurred when the Malus were around and he remembers the fallen Genus that turned to the Malus side. Torum possesses the **element** of Plasma and having mastered it, he can control and summon it and even take it out of people's bloodstreams, being the only plasma elemental to be able to show off this power.

## Biography

### Early Life

In 52 BBT, Flase Torum was born on the planet Hexillion. As a young child, he showed a connection with his element, being able to learn quickly and control certain abilities. Due to this natural gain of abilities, he was found by Genus Grand Savant, Kendar, and was asked to go to the Genus Unity.

Torum's family was ready for Torum to leave Hexillion as they wanted him to live a better life and do what he pleased. Furthermore, for most ardians, it is custom for the children to leave their parents at a young age, fending for themselves as they reach maturity quicker than most sentient species.

Upon arrival to **Thyrian**, Torum took a liking towards the training room, spending hours on end training to be the best spear fighter in the order. The ardians didn't need much sleep due to their biological sequences so he would stay up all day and all night to become one of the best Genuses.

When it came time to gain his element crystal, he was the first to finish the task in his class, succeeding in a very short amount of time. He was revealed to have the element of Plasma. Kendar and **Mistress Iola** were surprised by his efforts, granting him his master, Korlen Reed. Kendar let Torum follow his passion on becoming a Genus Protector as he watched over him, observing his raw power. Kendar knew that Torum would be an ideal Genus to train and wanted to have private sessions with him, expanding his knowledge of the **Ancients** and the elements.

### Sensing New Elementals

During a meeting with the Genus High Committee, Kendar reveals that he has sensed a strong force in the universe, bigger than he can meditate on alone. Kendar summons the four other members together to meditate and find these four special elementals.

When finding the location of these powerful, new elementals that were revealed by the Ancients themselves, Kendar sends off **Kal Kain** to **Azure**, **Ty Ren** to **Heraclius**, **Anna Shin** to **Giana Prime**, and Torum to **Volao**.

#### Meeting the Quadrant

Torum talks in the meeting with Kendar and the other members of the council. All of them talk about the importance of the children. Kendar knows about the powers that have been presented in the past with a Genus known as Xenar. Kain thinks they should be more careful and Torum wonders why that is, seeing the gaining of the elementals as a good start for them.

Kain doesn't want to be too hasty but after arguing about what to do with the children, they decide to teach them. Torum believes that they should be locked up because they could become dangerous in the future, seeing his opinion shift through the conversation as he thinks about Xenar.

Kendar reminds the council that Operation: Strike was years prior and that there has been a significant shift in the order of different star systems as they are furious. Kendar decides to train the three new elemental's minds, spirits, and bodies.

When Parker, Chase, and Kira enter the council room, Kendar reveals that they will train the children the next day as they are given their sleeping quarters. Torum doesn't like the idea of the three of them being kept closely together and unmonitored at all times, deciding on watching them at any time he can, even through meditation.

### Spectating Chase

#### Training Room

During a training period for the Juveni, Torum, along with Regin Lo and Cora Katar, realize that Chase has isolated himself from the group. They want to make sure that Chase will get back into the training so Torum makes the decision of pairing him up with Kai Lorus, switching out Parker for Chase. Torum thinks that if they don't engage Chase more often, he will go against most of the Genus's orders as he doesn't see them as allies.

As Chase defends himself against an offensive Kai, Torum starts to study the attacks made by Chase. He thinks that he is being too timid and doesn't fully get into the spirit of sparring. When Katar starts to bring up the idea of letting Chase have his own master to practice with away from the other juvenis, Torum shuts the idea down. He thinks that it'll drive Chase away, which is something the Order cannot afford. When Chase hits Kai, it makes him angry. Torum notices this, getting interested and cautious because it is just a sparring match but he wants Chase involved. When Chase gets flashbacks of his abusive past, he attacks Kai with full force. Torum follows Katar down to the ground level, seeing her freeze Chase's soul. Torum thinks that Chase could be dangerous, seeing that there is an inner conflict that he must get over. Torum realizes that he must got off to talk to Kendar, reporting the new information.

#### Meeting with Kendar

> "I sense it to, it’s hidden but it’s there. Do remember where he came from Master Torum. He is learning and he has the right to act out and be different."
>
>

> - Kendar speaking to Torum about the darkness within Chase.
>
>

Torum goes to Kendar, who is alone in the council room. They both speak on the subject of Chase. Torum senses nothing from Chase, picking up on his lack of interaction with the other Juveni. Kendar thinks Torum is sensing darkness but Torum, knowing that he can be skeptical at times, doesn't know what to think.

Kendar has sensed the darkness, proving Torum's speculation to be correct but Kendar doesn't blame Chase. Seeing where Chase has come from, Kendar knows that these particular signs are going to occur but they just have to know how to look out for those signs and act upon them when necessary.

### Temple meet Congress

Major Fuher Kin arrives on Planetoid to speak to the Genus High Council on the subject of his Congress. Kin believes that the congress will be safer on Planetoid because the Genus are present, allowing them to stop worrying about attacks. Kain, Shin, Ren, and Torum don't understand the sudden need for protection from the Genus, telling Kin that they aren't going to solve all his problems.

Kendar agrees with Kin, letting him stay on Planetoid as long as he doesn't rule over the Genus Order. Torum weighs in, stating that they want some control in the council for security purposes. He fears that there could be corrupt politicians and he wants to check in on that to make sure nothing occurs under the Genus watch. Kin reluctantly agrees and Kendar and Kin make a deal, setting the proposal.

### Juveni Ceremony

> "Welcome Juveni to the Juvenile Ceremony. Today you will be testing your abilities to grant you your element. This is a big day for many Juveni as they take another step into this larger world."
>
>

> - Kendar opening the ceremony.
>
>

The ten members on the Genus Council are with the Juveni class to grant them the opportunity to find their element crystals. Kendar opens the ceremony as everyone watches. When it is time, Kendar invites in Mistress Iola, who banters with the Genus as she starts off the ceremony. Not amused or pleased, Torum gets annoyed with Iola's witty humor. Torum also tries to carry along the ceremony, wanting Iola to work instead of talk.

After talking with Parker, Chase, and some other Juveni, Mistress Iola lays down the Juveni, letting them close their eyes as she snaps, starting the crystal finding process, which requires the Juveni to go through a task to show them their crystal. If failure occurs, they are to try again the next year.
