“We shall prosper together, and lead our brothers to victory.”
- - Kiun Addedan
Commander Kiun Addedan is one of the Three Top ranking commanders within the Walgolorian Dominion, and a high ranking commander within the Mendel Pact. A silent and observant fellow, Kiun directs battles from both the front and behind the lines, acting in whatever role he is needed in. One of the students of the Legendary Walgolorian leader, Commander Curiantau'va, Kiun is a Master at being a one man killing machine, having all the fire power he needs to execute his goals, and overwhelm his opponents.
Patient, calculating, and aggressive, Kiun's career in the military has been illustrious, even before he graduated from the academies, and he has maintained a reputation as a fierce leader, dedicated to his men, and known to show mercy to even the most undeserving of foes in battle.
History
Early History
Kiun was born to Clan Adeddan, on the estate of W'alor, homeworld of the Walgolorian people. As was tradition, Kiun was raised by his uncle, while his father and mother lead Walgolorian expansion efforts against the Hermicce. As such, Kiun did not know much of his parents, other then his father was a great commander, the likes of which had not been seen since his rival, Curiantau'va. Growing up, Kiun heard nothing but great news about his father, propaganda within the empire painting him as one of their greatest heroes.
However, Curiantau'va was very critical of Kiun's father, as where many commanders, as he violated many of the laws written in the Codes of Fire, which dictated how the Walgolorian would act in war, including forcing captured enemies to be treated as little more then slaves, and executing sub-commanders for not following his orders.
After Kiun's mother's death, his father went on a crusade against the Hermicce, vengefully going after them at every point. His brother begged him to return, saying his son needed him at this time. But his father refused, and finally, meet death at the hands of the Hermicce after his troops abandoned him. Kiun grew up without much contact with others his age, though was noted to be very polite and well liked his elder Clan-kin.
Finally, after being groomed by his uncle, Kiun was brought to the military academies to begin his training. While silent, and prone to avoiding personal contact with others, Kiun was regarded as a model student, proper in every respect, and respectful to his elders. However, he did gain one rival, another student named Saren Seiriol. Known for her hot-blooded, eager to fight attitude, she clashed quite frequently with Kiun's more patient ideals about battle.
Rescue operation
During his training, an outer colony was attacked by strange cultists, who stole away the local Empyreal. The Empyreals crafted together a special team, and included Kiun himself in it, at the insistence of the current Supreme Empyreal, Lod Tyallewd, requested he be included. Trusting his wisdom, the young warrior was indeed taken, and took part in the rescue mission, despite not having graduated yet. After finding the planet, Kiun and his fellow teammates deployed, battling through the enemy forces, as their commander lead them in a battle suit.
After much fighting, Kiun, despite all his attempts, kept coming back bloodied and grizzled in appearance, covered in the blood of his foes. Twice his armor had to be changed out. This caused much deep-seeded fear in himself, as he feared he was given into the blood lust that had nearly destroyed the Walgolorian long ago. Despite, he was able to free his master Empyreal from the cultists before they could sacrifice him, but not before a blood-red gem bond itself to his chest.
After returning, Kiun's contact with others lessoned further, causing many to question him on what had happened, though he refused to speak of it again. However, his actions caught the attention of the Supreme Commander, Curiantau'va. Seeking the best commanders as his students, Curiantau'va chose Kiun, and Saren, his rival, as well as the highly aggressive warrior of Vior'tal, Sywiin Ryaler, a prodigy among his kin, as well as about 50 other students from across the Dominion. The three gained quick rivalry with one another, as they sought Curiantau'va's favor to succeed him as Supreme Commander.
Kiun chose a battle style different from the others, choosing to make himself the ultimate one-man weapon platform, so he could accomplish everything at once. As such, he gained a reputation as a lover of fire power, even compared to other Mendel, and outfitted his suit, the same one recovered from his late mother, with missiles, flamethrowers, a Large caliber Pulse Rifle, and other weapons to assist him. His odd habits and way he carried himself also bother his rival students, and his tendency to seek the heads of his foes also disturbed others. Curiantau'va, however, saw to it that he gain some teachings in greater self-control, going from the most violent of the three on the field, to the most tempered and patient of them.
Graduation
Kiun, Ryaler, and Saren where taken with Curiantau'va to Tohoch, homeworld of the Orgaat, in order to assist them against the Hermicce, who where being pushed back. All three had proven effective against the savage insects, especially Ryaler, and the next battle would be the deciding factor of who inherited the title of Walgolorian Supreme Commander. The three where silent days before the fight. This was important to all of them, and they would not suffer to have their rivals beat out over them.
Though given a smaller force, due to his infamous blood-rage in battle, Kiun paved a path of destruction through the Hermicce and a number of rogue Orgaat, who shunned the outsiders, while leading his small cadre, and Orgaat allies, to victory. Ultimately, despite his efforts, he was ultimately not chosen, and, as par orders from the Empyreal Caste, he and Saren where placed in Cryogenic storage, until they could be called upon again, as Ryaler was chosen to lead the remaining Mendel forces against the Hermicce remnants.
After the victory, and the establishment of new colonies over Hermicce holdings, Ryaler soon joined his fellow students in sleep. And, for the next few years, they where only awakened once or twice to make sure they where still of use to the Walgolorian. Kiun was brought back online to fight, and ultimately establish the Pact colony world of Fa'ros.
Dominatus wars
During the Dominatus wars, Kiun was brought online again, with his comrades, to lead war operations against the Dominatus Tyranny during Attero Dominatus
Battle for Alastor
Kiun was again awakened to lead a joint Federation-Mendel legion in Alastor, to help the Vanara there reclaim their world. After being briefed on the situation, Kiun armored up and joined his forces for transport to Alastor.
First and Second Mirusian Coalition wars
After the victory of Alastor, Kiun and a majority of his forces where rerouted back to Mirus to help his fellow students in the First and Second War of the Mirusian Coalition, against the invading forces of the Xonexi. For many of the battles, he was deployed right with Ryaler and Saren, so that all three of their strategies could meld together to properly beat back the joint Xonexi forces.
Zome battlez latta
Kiun, after the victory, had little to rest, being again prepped for war against the French Colonial Empire and Eldarisian Empire. The most surprising turn came, however, when the Imperium of War started the fighting, and, to everyone's surprise, The Zarbania Powers, did not join them, instead remaining with the Coalition to help them, despite being long time enemies. Kiun himself was more eager to face the Eldarisian, viewing their savage religion and genocide as everything the Mendel stood opposed to, though his High Kings told him to keep his emotions in check. Despite having to lead three war efforts with little rest, he still awaited the chance to test his skills again. His first operation was engaging the assault of Warmaster Ionius from he rear of the coalition lines, facing overwhelming odds in his defense. While capable, he was quickly losing ground, and reinforcements could not arrive, for it would lead to an attack by the French and their allies. Unfortunately, a number of forces from the southern defensive zone moved to reinforce him, something he balked at, believing he could hold the Dragowar with the force he currently had at hand.
Luckily, the United Perscan Descendants struck from a separate front against the Imperium of War, assisting Kiun just as he had done for them(if indirectly), helping push back against the Imperium of War, until it became a grinding stand-still, with no clear side being able to claim victory.
Finally growing tired of the Imperium's tactics, Kiun gathered his cadres and regiments, organizing a massive legion and fleet, and meet them at the Battle of Trinity. Taking many Orgaat Carnivores with him, as well as the most experienced melee fighters in the Pact, Kiun meet the Imperium above Trinity, quickly sundering their navy, and landing ground forces, backed up by Zarbanian forces. Commander Kiun, and his sub-Commanders, Ugandalorian Marshal Talorn, and Elder Orgaat Ha'brk, landed and quickly slaughtered the Imperium's forces, forcing Ionius to retreat, and allowing his fellow commanders, Ryaler and Saren, to concentrate all their efforts on the French-Eldarisian line.
However, with more disciplined use of Angel-fire barrages, and the destruction of several fleets by a Rogue TIAF fleet and French Void-Hunters, the Mirusians where forced to negotiate with the French and Eldarisians, especially after the Imperium revealed their own Hyper-space missile weapons, and devastated much of Kiun's fortifications.
The French where firm in their stance, but many Mendel, including Kiun himself feared the ultra-reactionary stance of the Eldarisians. When they heard the stance of taking extreme territory and repressions from the Coalition, Kiun promised his troops that no Eldarisian savage would be taking their homes. With or without the Pact's backing, they would continue to fight the Eldarisian if their Clan chieftains gave in. Luckily no such action occurred, and many territories that the Mendel had conquered was returned to the Xonexi. Kiun himself was enraged at this, as he had lost many good soldiers taking that territory, and almost seemed ready to attack his own chieftains for the "betrayal". France and the Eldarisians would continue to support the Coalition in a new Government, called the Covenant of Mirus, and fight the Imperium. Kiun himself, like many Mendel warriors, was doubtful of this new Covenant. It was merely the same thing, that the Xonexi had bullied their way and grabbed territory, this time through open war. While ignored by High Command (mostly), he warned things had not changed, and that Franch and the Eldarisians would continue their dirty politicking.
Although many of his troops where ashamed for losing the war for their great commander, Kiun gathered all his troops together at the planet of Ko'shaas, as well as the Zarbanians that had assisted them, and gave a speech, praising them as the greatest fighters he had ever seen, and a pride to their clans and gods. No matter what happened, Kiun would continue to be proud of his troops, for in his heart, they had won something far greater then measly territory. With tears in his eyes, Kiun said that he himself was unworthy of leading such a magnificent force, with his Sub-commanders and advisors hiding their own tears of emotion. Kiun told his troops, that while they still had many brothers and sisters to bury, they would honor their sacrifice by burying the Imperium of War, for one last time. Kiun promised himself, if he was going to do one thing for his troops, it was to finally end Warmaster Ionius himself.
Kiun, as a high ranking commanders, was made aware of the pact made by the three powers forming the Mirusian Triumvirate, and gleefully promised to finish the fight that they had started.
Traits
Personality
Of the three students, Kiun is regarded as the most even-tempered, patient, and respectful of the three. Despite, eh still deals with his own inner demons and issues, stemming all the way back from childhood to now. Kiun is commonly seen as silent and observant, which, due to this feature, he coined his commanding flagship "Silent Observation", commonly regarded as bit of a cold individual.
However, Kiun is dutifully religious, still following the old Walgolorian pantheon that predates their philosophy brought about by the Empyreal Caste. As par his believes, he asks his enemies to surrender before battle, and tries to spare any after the fight, so long as they surrender to his forces. Despite being kind-hearted and respectful, he has no issue using his rifle to negotiate, commonly leaving a death toll in the thousands whenever he visits a planet in war. However, he actively hates the idea of genocide, not being comfortable with dooming a race, no matter how corrupt.
Kiun struggles with the fact he never really knew his father to well, and, although he claims to have dealt with his father issues, he still somewhat feels a need to live up to his (overblown) legacy. he would, however, never admit it, vehemently denying it whenever anyone brings it up, believing such issues for a teenager or child who has yet to grow up.
Kiun's silent nature hides the fact he is, in reality, the most violent and destructive of the three students, possibly hinting that he as been corrupted on some level. He deeply despises what he refers to as his "Demonself", and, as such, as been known to enter a meditative state to prevent himself from lashing out too aggressively in battle.
Appearance
Kiun is noted for being of average height for his race, and is very fit, befitting his military training since birth. Kiun's scales are white with a golden yellow finish to them across his back. His left leg and right arm are completely cybernetic, as he lost it during his fight against the Cultists, and a blood red gem is grafted to his chest, which has discolored the rest of his scales to red pigment as well.
Abilities
Kiun is an expert tactician and warrior, and has some rudimentary skill in melee combat. he is an expert in music, having learned to play a Walgolorian instrument, the Luweddia, an instrument akin to a cello, from a very young age. Most of his Clan members laughed at his skill in music as being "unmanly", but his uncle supported his skill throughout. Some say that of the two fields, Kiun would actually prefer to simply study music and practice with his instrument.
Equipment
Kiun's suit is white with gold markings, and smaller then other suits. It compensates with advanced stealth systems allowing it to dampen sounds it makes, reload weapons faster and with more silence then other Battlesuits and armed with an assortment of weapons, so he can be the one-man weapon platform to accomplish all tasks.
His weaponry includes a Cylonic Pulse Rifle, a large assault rifle/sniper weapon that can switch roles depending on the range, and, empathically connected to Kiun, allowing him to change modes with a mere thought. Mounted on his shoulders are twin missile pod launchers, allowing to disrupt infantry and blast through vehicles. His other weapon is a hand-mounted flamethrower to kill off infantry in close range, and can be used as a Fusion Gun to melt through vehicle armor, though such can only be done in emergencies, as doing to often can over-tax the Flamethrower's systems.
His Cylonic Rifle can fire a charged shot to instantly kill enemies, or leave them with incredible damage, and he can activate mind fields that slow down, weaken and stun enemy targets they step within range.
His suit, while not the strongest, certainly compensates with all it's weapons and support features, which out-weigh those used by his rival students.
