Joryus

- Joryus

Joryus is a Fosh and former follower of the Darkside of the Force; A cunning, shrewd and manipulative individual, Joryus slowly began to resent the senseless man the Darkside had turned him into over his many years of immersion, starting from the first time he even came to understand his sensitivity within it. Adopted by an ancient practitioner and sorceress by the name of Ingredal after being abandoned by his biological parents, he was taught to follow her every word; Skepticism brewed in his young mind, however. Many years after being stuck as a man he resented, he wished to prove his own potential morality to himself, disembarking on a restless, unending quest in an attempt to atone.

Birth
Born on Ban-Satir II to uncertain parents, Joryus chose to forget much of what he had been told of his old life. He was too young to remember any of it, but his father and mother, for reasons he never learned, abandoned him on a ship selling Novanian grog, placing him in a crate. Found by the crew, he was simply sold off, trading hands numerous times, until his force sensitivity was brought into question and an ancient, jaded Sith Sorceress took him under her wing. He was given the name of 'Joryus Svistuis'; named after her previous master, with the addition of the word 'Svistuis', meaning broken, her way of immortalizing her years of treachery and scorn. The boy Fosh was highly powerful in the ways of the force, and she decided she'd teach him the ways of the dark.

Childhood
Joryus was often reminded of his upbringing to humble him from his natural talents. His adoptive mother, Ingredal, despised arrogance. She viewed it as a weakness in all forms, and wished to crush any sign of it in her adoptive child, if he was to be formed in her image. It was her belief that cunning was the way to defeat all of her opponents, regardless of who's side the force was on. As long as you were smarter than them, she believed that one could win any battle with enough cunning and enough work. She was, hypocritically, however, very proud of her accomplishments, often using them to further humble the boy. She was surprisingly affectionate for a darksider, however; She showed joy at his successes, but she fluctuated greatly in demeanour. She was easy to anger and considered herself somewhat of a disciplinarian, despite her affection. She branded him with marks of shame whenever he failed at any task. Be it failing to study the ways of the force, losing a battle, or even slipping on his words. He had to be perfect, in her eyes. He adapted to this all rather quickly.

Later Childhood
Ingredal saw Joryus as her successor. She later demanded he forget all that made him 'Joryus'. She gave him a new name to refer to every day, often demeaning and shameful. It was to strengthen his resolve and teach him to control his anger. At this point, he had gotten over his convictions and simply took these names. Self control was a virtue, after all. She, at this time, started duelling him every day and pushing him to his limits; He was always shorter than the average Fosh, an already generally short species. She wished to offset this imbalance with his endurance and agility. He slowly grew stronger as the years flew by, carefully tutored by the sorceress in secret.

Lord Eilelacerna
As Joryus grew older, while humble and learned, he was dangerously ambitious. He wasn't content with the idea of being Ingredal's secret apprentice and spy; When he raised his complaints, she proclaimed that he'd, one day, bare the title of Lord. She continued, proclaiming that he'd be 'Lord Eilelacerna', meaning 'Turncloak'; She considered his ambitions a betrayal to her teachings, and, in response, he simply smirked. She was in the way, and she'd taught him to ruthlessly stomp out any opposition to her will. In this case, he no longer cared for her will, he cared for his own. Whilst she ranted, he shot her with a concealed blaster, straight from his own robes. A fight ensued with the vastly less experienced Joryus and the sorceress, with Joryus only gaining the upper hand through an ace in the hole; He shot her in her dominant arm, her right, and she failed to fight with her left. Joryus managed to overpower her in direct combat, kicking her while she was down, figuratively and literally. She claimed to be unable to permanently die, and he tested that theory when he plunged a saber through one of her eyes. He still idolized her, however, and took the title she gave him to heart. From them on, he decided to forget all the names she had given him, save for the one. His name was often shorter to 'Acerna', though, much to his dismay.

Youth
In his younger years, Joryus was always a clever boy. He was everything Ingredal had wished of him; Humble, quiet, deceitful and callous. He had a certain hatred brewing within him, unbeknownst to her. He was highly ambitious and became somewhat of an adrenaline-junkie after so many sparring matches with her. He was, however, beneath it all, sensitive. The demeaning names he was given crushed him at first, but he grew to slowly accept it as reality. He followed her along, despite his greater ambitions, though he later rationalized this as him biding his time. He wasn't certain whether he felt any love for his adoptive mother, although he likes to claim that, to this day, he never did.

Adulthood
Joryus was, despite his greater conviction, rather self assured and even more ambitious than he was as a lad. While he had great control of his impulses and a good head on his shoulders, he was emotionally distant and cocky. Ruthless and unfeeling, he started his own reign of terror where he could with out much regret at first.
