Mission Plot

(Year: 1,010,236 BBY) Many millenia before the rise of the Galactic Republic a species called the Mitsukai reigned over an outer rim world called Tishi. The Mitsukai were very similar to humans in their appearance, all say for the large wings on their backs. The Mitsukai were ruled by a group of the seven most powerful among them who were known as the Elders.

At some point in the Mitsukai's past, a mysterious object was said to have fallen from the heavens. An ordinary looking blade that seemed to exude a sinister power. This was no ordinary sword, and its power had begun to affect the Mitsukai elders. The first being chief elder Atsuke Makura, who had been driven mad by the blade's power. His closest friend and fellow elder Kenshi Samasu recognized this threat and fled from the others.

As time passed more of the elders fell until only three remained, Okiba Urame, Jiro Rakurai, and Anzu Ichijin. These three that still lived became increasingly paranoid with one another, fearing that one may divulge the sword's secret or worse, try and take the blade for themselves. They soon learned however that their old comrade Kenshi was still alive and teaching the force to non Mitsukai Humanoids, something that was considered an extreme taboo. For his blasphemy and fearing that he may leak secrets about the blade, the three elders decided it was time to silence this Kenshi Samasu once and for all. And the Mitsukai they chose for the job were none other then the sons of Kenshi's old friend, Atsuke Makura...

It wasn't until Luster was 11 years old that he began to notice a change in his father.

Atsuke had begun to preform research on the mysterious sword that had fallen from the sky, known to the Mitsukai as the "Blade of Balance". During his experiments Atsuke began to hear what he believed to be the blade speaking to him. It wasn't long before Atsuke began to feel that the blade had taken control over his consciousness and was able to alter what he thought and how he felt. Soon the other elders had decided that Atsuke was becoming a liability. And after they had discovered the truth about his experiments with the blade, Atsuke's fate was sealed. He was put to death in front of the Temple for heresy.

The loss of his father weighed heavily on Luster, but shortly after his death Luster's mother gave birth to his new baby brother, Jack. Since Jack would grow up never knowing his father, Luster decided to take it upon himself to impress upon Jack all things their father had done. Luster also would pass on all the knowledge Atsuke had given him to his younger brother.

Just as it was with his father, Luster and Jack became inseparable. Both joined the Temple, becoming Temple guards in hopes of following in their war hero father's footsteps. Their opportunity finally came when the elders called upon the two to take up a secret mission.

Info: Born just after his father's death, Jack never knew Atsuke Makura, but he certainly took after the late elder and not just in appearance. Jack was labeled as a genius at a very young age, a true child prodigy. He learned very quickly and rapidly surpassed even his older brother and mentor, Luster. This was not a cause for jealousy however, Luster was immensely proud of his younger brother's accomplishments as if he were his own son.

Though Jack was close with his mother and brother, the rest of the Mistukai were a source of disdain. The constant comparisons to his late father and heavy expectations levied on him never sat well with Jack. He wanted to be his own man but fate seemed to continually thrust him into his father's shoes.

By the time Jack was 17 he had already graduated from the academy, the youngest ever to do so, eclipsing his father's old mark of 19. After joining with his brother Luster as a temple guard it wasn't long before he was given his first mission. To hunt down the rogue elder Kenshi Samasu.

Jack woke up to the smell of food cooking. It's aruoma making it's way up the stairs to his room. His hair was messy as he sat up and got dressed. He glanced out the window for a moment and saw that daylight was already in full bloom. Seemed he had overslept as usual and breakfast must have already been cooking for some time.

After dressing in the temple guards robes he grabbed his katana that had been leaning upon a wall in the corner of his room and headed downstairs. It seemed Luster was already up as he approached the kitchen, and his mother had just gotten done cooking. He took a seat after setting down the katana on the counter. He never liked having weapons at the table. "Any news Luster?"

[Moonfire]

Luster smiled at his younger brother as their mother, Akira began to set the table, dealing out food in all four place settings. Still, so many years later, she set a place for her late husband, as though at any moment he too would join them at the table. Shrugging away the negative thoughts of his long gone hero Luster returned himself to the present.

"Actually yes, the Elders have an assignment for us. The messenger didn't have much to say, but we need to head to the Temple after breakfast." He said reaching over across the table to ruffle Jack's black hair. "You really need to do something with that hair of yours, pick one. Long or short already." A hearty laugh echoed throughout the house.

Akira smiled at her two boys. "I don't know Luster, I think it fits him. Your father always wore his hair like that, I swear he looks more like him with every passing day." She said with a dreamy look on her face carefully chewing her eggs.

Jack shrugged as Luster ruffled his hair. Then began to eat his breakfast before holding up his fork for a moment. "I don't really see the problem, everyone else doesn't seem to mind." said Jack before continuing to his food. His mother went on about his father, and Jack seemed distant for a moment. He knew she didn't mean to, but the constant comparasin between him and his father made it feel like he was stuck behind someone's shadow. A faceless apparition that he had never knew. Jack was quick to hide it however as he swallowed the last of his breakfast.

"Guess we should get going, we wouldn't want to be late not would we?" asked Jack as he stood up heading over to the counter for his katana and strapped it onto his back before turning back to them. "How's Raina and Alina?"
