FEBRAYASIS:

(From Dandelo aka Rick, the creator):



Since Febrayasis is already established in the New Galactic Empire and Since it has grown considerably in that time I should start with the matter of explaining who the Sages are.



Some of you will recognise Sistros straight away, he's the mysterious hooded statue looming over everyone in the Chancellor's office.



*please note that the following is completely Fanon, and should not be treated as canon as this has not been printed in any media, be it comic, book, audio or guide*



Here are basic profiles of the Sages presented in this thread or NGE



Sistros:

Thousands of years ago, Sistros was born to nobility on Dwartii. The Force was strong with him since birth, he became interested in Philosophy and studied at the newly built University Of Coruscant in this subject, as well as Biology and Politics. Being quite the academic Sistros soon climbed through the ranks to become one of the most influential people in the Early Republic, and is responsible for many of the Senate's early procedures. At this time Sistros became fascinated with his extraordinary ability at using the Force at will, and set out on a journey to discover his potential. Legends about him include spending a full year with the Whills, that he is immortal and even a rumour that he invented the first usable lightsaber.



Yanjon:

Yanjon was a brave and loyal scholar who wanted nothing but peace in the Galaxy, and was a close personal friend of Sistros. Being force sensitive he sought out the Jedi and for awhile trained under their guidance, he soon felt that the Jedi life style wasn't for him when he fell in love with a peasant girl from Corellia. Yanjon was a kind warm-hearted man that was skilled in battle and probably the bravest of all the Sages. Many of Febrayasis teachings that echo that of Jedi teachings are because of Yanjon.



Feya:

Feya was a wise old force sensitive who believed that the force was a tool for all force sensitive to use at their disposal, because of this Feya is shrouded in controversy as his teachings are more in line with Sith teachings. However Feya wanted to use his power to help the universe rather than destroy it, but detested the idea that people should deny their emotions, therefore dismissed most of the teachings of other orders. Many of the teachings that echo the Sith are because of Feya.



Brataa:

Was a hermit that lived in the mountains of an unknown planet, he discovered that the force was in every living thing and that it wasn't midichlorians that made you powerful, it was how in tune you were to the environment around you, as such Brataa was more monk like than the other sages, he is most famous for being the first guardian of Mekonah Fireheart
.


All of these sages wrote on scrolls and recorded their teachings in holocrons, each one discovered a missing link in which true knowledge of the force can only be achieved by studying the Definitive force:



or Fe (Feya) Bra (Brataa) Ya (Yanjon) Sis (Sistros)





Famous Febrayasi



Mekonah Fireheart:

Mekonah had a difficult and tragic life, her mother a Sith Baroness abandoned her, and she was found by Brataa. Unfortunately thugs killed the old sage and Mekonah was then found by a dark jedi by the name of Xylon. Xylon found a holocron that instructed Mekonah to be taught the ways of the Sith, and soon became even at her young age a very powerful force sensitive, she was rescued and adopted by an ex-Jedi, and became known as Mekonah, after years of being called "Noxious Vortex". One day at age 18. she was walking by a stream when she heard the voice of Sistros calling her to search the galaxy for the scrolls and holocrons of the sages, after doing so she built the first Febraysi academy, Febrayasis was born.



Constantine:

A fiery, independant but warm decendant of Yanjon, Constantine knew how to make close friends and fierce enemies. Constantine often showed her power to unbelievers of the definitive force in destructive ways, once destroying a whole moon at a tribe who mocked her claims, under the teaching of Mekonah, Constantine's temper lessened and she became a very popular teacher, she was also known as the one of the best lightsaber weilders in Febrayasi history



Valatane:

Was the stepmother of Mekonah, she was responsible for recruiting any sentient who wanted to learn the definitive force, it is because of Valatane that Febrayasis spread throughout the galaxy.

Who are Febrayasi?

Quite simply, Febrayasi are force users that adhere to the teachings of the Four sages and the numerous Prophets of Febrayasis. There are three types of Febrayasi



Temple Dwellers: These Febrayasi keep inside the Academy walls at all times, mostly of Mentors, Teachers, Archivists and Pupils, needless to say these Febrayasi are mostly academics.



Defenders of Justice and Peace: These Febrayasi are trained warriors who participate in missions to defend the galaxy, they also are sent to guide, teach and nurse in Outer Rim territories. As well as being fierce combatants, they are also very powerful in Force healing, they live in the Academy grounds when not on missions.



Galaxian Wanderers: These are Febrayasi that never reside in the temple unless in great danger, these are ordinary workman, whether it be pilots, repairing droids for a living or simply wanderers. Febrayasi can be walking amongst you and you wouldn't know it, even the moisture farmer on Tatooine you live close by to could be a Febrayasi.



All in all though, whatever Febrayasi you choose to be doesn't affect your rank, all of the above are equal, just some Febrayasi choose to live normal lives after training.



Pupili are taught inside the Academy, and are taught subjects such as planetology, piloting skills, languages and Math, Sciences and many more numerous subjects.



Do Febraysi wear a special uniform?

One of the major teachings in Febrayasi is personal identity, no matter what species, so no there is no formal clothing unless for special occasions, in which you wear a black or claret robe with a hood.



What Is The Oath Of The Firehearts?

Mekonah Fireheart is the founder of Febrayasis and also a force prophet, new Pupili swear an oath in her memory.



Who are the Vasalians?

The Vasalians are the enemy of Febrayasi.


It was thought long ago, that this sect of darksiders were the result of fallen Febrayasi Vazali Vazaar. Vazaar believed after much studying that Febrayasi were not teaching the true messages of the old Sages, he reasoned that all the sages were in fact Sith Lords with their own branch of Sithism. He managed to get a lot of Febrayasi on his side, and they left the Academy to form their new order "the Vasalians", they believe that the Force is their tool to do what they like with, they have no code to live by and believe that chaos is the true way to live.



Unfortunately it has recently been discovered Vazaar was just a puppet, and that darksider Naire Vastila (former best friend to Mekonah Fireheart) is the true leader of the Vasalian sect.

The Eight Forms of Combat With The Lightsaber



Yavonali (the way of the brave): This system was introduced by Yanjon and is one of the oldest forms, it relies on not relying on the force to control your reflexes and is about the hreat of combat, it uses powerful and swift strokes, you must be pretty confident with the blade to use this form



Harbá (the way of the focused mind): Yanjon introduced this system, it focuses mainly on harmony and is very similar to of the Jedi's form III, it's the form that never attacks, only defends and takes a lot of patience to use it



Tanderlyon (the way of the quicksilver): One of the hardest to master, this form in the most acrobatic, and uses heavily on the force to do advance flips, leaps, and jumps, it takes a lot of energy and you must be physically be able to do it.



Cavance (the way of the refined): This style is for the fencer, uses quick parrying techniques as well as swift movements of the wrist, it's elegant to look at and is very fluid, created by Braata



Kalv (the way of the insidious): The most controversial form, the practioner of this form creats a false impression that they aren't as good as they appear, bring their opponent to a false sense of security, before subtly beating them, users of this form must be careful not to fall to the dark side, Feya created this



Felinto (the way of the Acklay): This form involves using 2 lightsabers, and is very quick in style, due to it's dangerous tendancy to chop off the users limbs, acrobatics are not done in this form.



Pheuto (the way of the hurricane): This form is aggressive and uses powerful strokes to knock the opponent off balance



Charnello (the way of the Charn): This form is a combination of Tanderlyon and Cavance, but less on the acrobatics, it was created by Sistros.

The Galactic Empire was at its peak of power. There was a massive superstation being built over the planet Despayre. And who else would build it but the strongest hands in the galaxy. Wullfrooryk was born into slavery aboard the first Death Star fifteen years before it’s inevitable destruction. His young life was filled with pain and torture. From the backbreaking labor to the abuse at the hands of Imperial slavers, Wullf barely had what one would call a conventional childhood. Yet he still had friends and family. His mother taught him to read Galactic Basic and of his heritage back on Kashyyyk. His father would teach him of honor, duty and strength. There were other Wookiees his age for him to play with when the slavers’ backs were turned. This would be his greatest mistake.

During one such unsanctioned adventure through the unfinished corridors of the superstation, Wullf and his friends ran afoul of an inspection officer who was patrolling a particular section. As they ran back to the slave compound, the officer followed. One by one he sought out the young Wookiees one by one and began mercilessly beating them. When the officer reached Wullf and began lashing him, he fought back in a burst of rage and power, flinging the officer against a wall with a show of unbridled power and beating him senseless. Once the officer was unconscious, Wullf and the other Wookiees knew they needed to get away. They took the officer’s clothes and code cylinder and left him locked in the slave pens. The group of Wookiees snuck through station, avoiding patrols and searching out a hangar. Their knowledge of the station’s architecture helped them utilize ventilation ducts and passages that weren’t complete yet to evade detection. They finally found their way to a small hangar with a Lambda shuttle and a few TIE’s. They rushed the troopers who were standing guard and easily overpowered them before boarding the shuttle. The ragtag band made their escape and jumped to hyperspace before the nearby Star Destroyers could prevent them from departing.

In the midst of their hyperspace transit, Wullfrooryk was lauded by the other Wookiees for helping them achieve their freedom and his own father announced that he had unlocked his rrakktorr, and this would suffice as his hrrtayyk. They used their time to celebrate Wullf’s bravery and strength and he earned the title Hero of the Oppressed. Bolstered by his peers and elders alike, Wullf took up a vow to stand up for those that couldn’t stand up for themselves.

Their journey came to an abrupt bump when the ship finally exited at Kashyyyk. Another Star Destroyer awaited their arrival. Wullf and a few other Wookiees were stuffed into escape pods and jettisoned towards the planet while the ship was being pulled into the hangar of the Destroyer. Few of the group were able to escape the wrath of the Empire. Among those that were still aboard the shuttle was Wullf’s father. The realization that he would likely never see his father again rocked Wullf. But he was home. After the pods crashed, the fugitives were taken into the city of Rwookrrorro. Wullf was able to finally immerse himself in his own culture. He regaled the natives with his tale of heroism and heard tales of their own battles against the oppressive regime of the Empire. He learned how to construct his own bowcaster and how to fight with a ryyk blade. It was not to last though. The Empire struck multiple times, searching for the escaped slaves that had taken refuge. Each time, Wullf feared for his mother and the new family he had made. This pattern continued for years, with each subsequent attack bringing more death and destruction.

When the Rebellion prevailed against the first Death Star, Wullf found a new calling. This new Alliance was a beacon of hope for the Galaxy. It aligned perfectly with his vows of honor and his sense of duty. Only 15 years old, he made his way off planet and dedicated himself to fighting against the Empire. He brought with him only his bowcaster and a ryyk kerarthorr blade that he had crafted to honor his father. His first leads brought him to the Hoth system, where he was able to join the Alliance proper. He learned far more about the galaxy and his place in it. He was taught how to repair starships and how to use a variety of artillery and blasters. He participated in the Battle of Hoth, helping shuttle people to the escaping transports. It was the ship he was on that was accosted by the bounty hunters Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Something about the Gand gave Wullf a funny feeling. He knew he could trust the bounty hunter somehow. This was the first evidence of his Force sensitivity, triggered by Zuckuss’s own connection with the Force.

Once safely aboard the Mist Hunter Wullf was able to more freely explore these new sensations. He studied Zuckuss and asked him about this feeling. The bounty hunter explained the ways of the Gand Findsmen and their prophecies to Wullf. He showed him the key to meditation, much to the ire of 4-LOM who was trying to learn the secrets of premonition himself. Wullf unlocked a small facet of his Force potential and learned to use the Force to heighten his awareness of the world around him. Zuckuss also presented the young Wookiee with a warning: do not rely on this power to solve all of his problems. Wullf took these words to heart. He respected the Findsman’s experience and wisdom. When the bounty hunters delivered the Rebels to their base above the galaxy, Wullf was one of those advocating the Rebellion help Zuckuss get new lungs. He watched them depart afterwards with a new sense of adventure. In the relative isolation of his bunk, Wullf would practice meditation and try to feel for more premonitions. One day he experienced one that changed his perceptions forever.



He saw peace. The Empire fallen, the Republic restored and equality spread throughout the galaxy. His vision cracked. Something came from outside. A swirling mass of black and bloody ships. There was fire, and from the fire sprouted weeds that twisted and strangled. The galaxy was going to be choked of everything good and replaced with ugly, evil darkness.



Wullf snapped out of his vision. He was scarred, the things he saw were terrifying to his young mind. He couldn’t stop this. There was no way to escape it. Wullf didn’t know what to do. The crushing sense of inevitability was more than he could handle. He tried to ignore the premonition and bury himself in work for the Rebellion. There was always something to do and more often than not Wullf found himself on the front lines due to his skills as a combatant. He used this experience to alter his bowcaster, slinging a blaster rifle underneath it, adding a scope for longer range shots and modifying his quarrels to become explosive or incendiary rounds at the turn of a dial. He learned the skills needed to pilot a starfighter and even found his way into the cockpit of a B-wing for a while. He became a more capable and versatile warrior.



After the Battle of Endor (during which he was copiloting a B-wing) Wullf returned home to Kashyyyk. He couldn’t shake the fear of his vision. So he tried to take his mind off fighting in general. He took a position as a bodyguard for the senator of Kashyyyk. It was a very lackluster task, as Wullf had no mind for politics and there was rarely anybody foolish enough to harass a group of Wookiees. Wullf experienced a relative peace for the next few years at his task. The only threats he often dealt with was butting heads with the Trandoshan representative and his posse and the occasional Imperial sympathizer who couldn’t stand to see Wookiees in a seat of power.



Nearly twenty years flew past in relative quiet. Wullfrooryk became a recognized face in the New Republic Senate. He grew wiser and learned more and more about the fine tactics that politics employed. It wasn’t something that he ever imagined himself doing but he was more than happy to protect someone who did. It was his way of promoting peace. Peace was not to last though. The Yuhzaan Vong crashed into the galaxy and began their zealous crusade. It was everything from Wullf’s vision come to life. He took it upon himself to join the fight. He abandoned his post on Coruscant and took to the battlefront. He soon heard word of the legendary Chewbacca’s death. That brought the war home for Wullf. He fought harder than ever against the extragalactic aliens whenever he saw them. Rage and grief fueled him and he wanted to see the Vong utterly destroyed.



During the battle of Ithor, Wullf snapped. He felt the sacrifice of Anakin Solo among the tumultuous events of the battle. The Force ebbed with his death. Wullf snapped. He felt adrenaline and Dark Side power coursing through him. This was his first taste of the power the Dark Side could offer. He went on a rampage, slaughtering every Vong soldier he could find on the surface. By the time his Rage subsided, his fur and his ryyk blade dripped with black tar-like blood. He had never felt such a power surge in his life. It vaguely reminded him of his childhood and the escape from the Death Star. Except he remembered that. This rage left him without memory of what happened. He did not want that to happen again. He wasn’t a mindless killing machine. He was better than that.



Wullf left that battle scarred. He knew that the Vong were a force that had to be destroyed. He just thought there should be a better way to do it. Wanton murder made him no better than them. He wanted to preserve peace not disrupt it. Wullf went into a deep turmoil. He fled back to Kashyyyk to find some peace and clarity. This power he had flowing through him had betrayed him. He wanted nothing to do with it. He hadn’t asked to feel the Force. It’s power overwhelmed him, controlled him and in the end caused him more strife than anything. He needed to learn how to control it and use the power for good, or not use it at all.



Wullf spent decades in the dense trees meditating, hunting the monsters of the ground and trying to control his Force abilities. No matter how hard he tried though, they did not often respond to his command. It was only in moments of great stress or anger that he felt the power welling up within him and unleashing itself through bursts of lightning or walls of telekinetic power. It frustrated Wullf to no end. He had heard of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi academy, but he did not want to be a Jedi. He wanted to block away his Force power, so he wouldn’t accidentally hurt or kill anyone with it. So he trained himself to be a warrior without it. Everytime he felt the Force ebb within him, he would push it back and try to keep it contained.



His training prepared him well. After fifty years, Wullf finally felt comfortable enough to rejoin Galactic society. He put himself out for hire as a high profile bodyguard where he made a hefty chuck of credits for his service. He did not experience any incidents for many years. Eventually the name Wullfrooryk was advertised from the Core to the Outer Rim as a dependable bodyguard that flinched at nothing. Wullf had plenty to keep him busy during this time. He was hired out by many dignitaries and lowlifes alike. There were months where he would go from guarding a senator to escorting a Hutt through a city block to watching over a governor’s offworld estate. It paid well though and Wullf was comfortable.

The day it changed was the day a Sith Assassin attacked the man Wullf had been hired to guard. Wullf fought hard against the warrior but had no way of overcoming his opponent’s lightsaber and control over the Force. The warrior cleaved through Wullf’s ryyk blade and he flew into a wild rage. All of his power was now focused on killing the man who had desecrated his father’s memory. Wullf unleashed torrents of lightning and a barrage of telekinetic power at the unsuspecting warrior. The battle suddenly changed dynamic. The warrior seemed less interested in his quarry and more intrigued by the wave of power that had just burst from this Wookiee. The battle went on for some time, with the warrior seemingly testing the limits of Wullf’s power, always staying one step ahead and playing one level higher. As Wullf’s fury grew, the warrior found his exit and vanished, leaving his intended target unharmed and likely returning word of his findings to his master.

The secret was out. Wullfrooryk was now a known Force user. Rumors spread, hailing from the new Sith Empire and permeating the rest of the galaxy. They painted everything from a noble Wookiee Jedi to a vicious Sith Lord and everything in between. Wullf tried his best to dispel what rumors he heard but the damage had been done. Multiple factions tried to recruit him into their ranks, including the Jedi and the Feybrasi. Wullf turned down every one of them. He would use these powers on his own terms before letting someone else tell him how. He made his way back to the Core and kept to his work, now fending off Jedi and Sith recruiters at every turn. Some of the recruiting attempts were less than subtle and involved attacks. Wullf became accustomed to this in time. His trust for other beings dwindled. Offers to hire him as a bodyguard dwindled. Most prospective clients were now more afraid of him than they were of most other threats. Wullf took up work as a mercenary for hire, always trying to maintain his code of honor. Knowing the galaxy was fully aware of his use of the Force, he began slowly letting himself tap into its power more and more. He mostly used it to enhance his physicality but he did begin honing his ability to move objects and control his use of Lightning. He returned to Kashyyyk often to visit his mother and used one of these opportunities to leave behind his broken ryyk blade and construct a new one. The galaxy no longer knew Wullfrooryk as a noble bodyguard. Now he was a Force to be reckoned with.
