Species: Rilan
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 207 lbs
Faction: Stellar Mythics
Profession: Sword of Diligence
Overview: Kvothe is a Sword of Diligence, one of those Mythics who are tasked with hunting down the heretics that betray the order and rise up to fight against it. His life has been shaped by struggle, most notably the ongoing, one-sided feud with his older brother, Vorian. This struggle, and others, have been painful for the young man, but perhaps they've made him stronger than he would have been otherwise. Only time will tell.
The Story
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
~Friedrich Nietzsche
Painful Memories/Aiaru- A look back into some of the events from Kvothe's bio. Covers a range of happenings, from both his perspective and Vorian's.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
New Faces in a New World/Ruusan- Kvothe is sent away from Aiaru for a time by his superiors, due to the way some events are starting to put a great deal of strain on him. So, the first stop on his journey is Ruusan, where he encounters Alindra Vordrinn. The two proceed to do a number of things together, from sharing stories of their past, to exploring a crystal cave, to having several run-ins with the Exchange, among other things. As the day progresses, some feelings begin to develop between them, and as night falls and turns into a new day, the flames of passion only strengthen those feelings, and the duo find themselves falling for each other

The Watchmen/Nar Shadaa- Kvothe continues with his galactic wandering, and makes his way to Nar Shadaa after the events on Ruusan. As he's sitting in a cantina, minding his own business, he's attacked by a group of thugs working for the Exchange. Fortunately, off-duty Mandalorian Krae Svar decides to lend a hand, and the thugs are easily dispatched. The two interrogate one of them, and find out the men were working for a minor Hutt named Korintha. This event, along with the run-ins with the Exchange on Ruusan, are enough to convince Kvothe that the time has come to strike back at the Exchange, and so, with Krae's help, he starts to plan his reprisal.
The Gathering/Nar Shadaa- Krae and Kvothe head out the next morning, only to be ambushed by a group of Exchange men who were waiting for them outside Kvothe's ship. A battle erupts, and former Jedi Councilwoman-turned-vigilante Rhissai'arckan arrives to help them during the fight. She agrees to help them in their efforts, and the group heads out to a drug ring to look for more information on Korintha. Along the way, they happen upon Evangeline Dusk--an assassin that's after Korintha. She joins the trio, and with her information, they make ready to strike Korintha.
Gettin' Righteous/Nal Hutta- The time has come for the strike. The group lands on Nal Hutta and slips into Korintha's palace. While things are quiet at first, it's not long before a battle erupts in the dark halls of the palace, culminating in a tremendous duel in the throne room against a foe none of them could have anticipated.

Judge a Book by its Cover/Aiaru- Kvothe--after finally receiving the call to return to his homeworld--makes his way back to Aiaru. Upon arriving, he stops by with the library to visit with an old mentor and friend for some easy conversation and to deliver some gifts from his journeys. {ongoing sortakinda}
An Unwelcome Holiday/Aiaru- Some of the Mythics find themselves with a free day, and so an impromptu road trip to Demas, Aiaru's capital, is organized. Lo and behold, while there they happen upon Cruentus Nex, infamous Mythic grouch. Silliness ensues. {ongoing}
Special Mythics? Oh, STELLAR Mythics. My bad.../Aiaru- More free time shortly after his return finds Kvothe once again in Demas, enjoying his days before he's sent back to the seemingly-constant fighting. While out with Fas, he stops at a bar for lunch and it's there that he finds Vesta Pyre, a hopeful looking to join the Mythics.

Antediluvian Peril/Aiaru- Kvothe, along with a group of his companions, venture out to some old ruins in the Itzli Mountains. However, things quickly go south when Unum ambushers--led by none other than Vorian Algaterra--suddenly strike. The fight that ensues is fierce, and includes a long-overdue reunion for the brothers Algaterra. And, while seeing Vorian might be the last thing Kvothe wants, something far worse happens for Irrisorrie.
Fate/Aiaru- Kvothe's down on himself after returning from the disastrous exploration mission to the ruins in the Itzli mountains. If one bright spot came from it all, it's that they were able to take a young Unum member prisoner in the skirmish, and with Iri being held captive by the Unum, Kvothe knows time is short. The desire to protect and the desire for revenge make a very dangerous combination, as Kvothe is about to show.
On a Wish and a Whim/Aiaru- Kvothe heads to Demas once again after dealing with Celena, this time on the hunt for a suspected Unum operative. While there, he meets a fugitive on the run from the Republic, while Vorian causes mayhem behind the scenes... {Ongoing}
The Edge of Dawn/Aiaru- After a few stressful days of searching and planning, the Mythics finally locate the hidden Unumbase where Iri's been taken. A battlegroup is sent to assault the mountain base while a strike team comprised of Kvothe and a few others infiltrate to rescue their captured friend. {Ongoing}
Carry On, My Wayward Son/Aiaru- Shortly after the battle in the Itzli mountains, Kvothe goes away from the Tower to visit Alethea, the old priestess that fled Rilia to come to Aiaru with his parents. While their, a visitor stops by and they have a chat. {Ongoing}

Kvothe Algaterra vs Krae Svar- Yes, before they were allies, Kvothe and Krae met as enemies. The two warriors engage in battle near an old outpost in the wilderness, and in a moment of (perhaps foolish) pride, Kvothe forgoes the use of his powers, to prove both to himself that he can take on the Mandalorian's extraordinary speed and melee prowess. Despite some initial stumbling, Krae quickly establishes control of the fight, and despite some swings back and forth, manages to hold it for most of the fight up until the conclusion.
Kvothe Algaterra vs Insway Nal- Kvothe encounters Jedi Councilman Insway Nal while looking into some old ruins. Some actions the Councilman takes irritate Kvothe, and he takes insult at the phrasing of a comment about his order and attacks. Looking back, it might not have been the brightest thing he's ever done. {Slip's currently doing battle with the internet, but this thread is still ongoing}
Kvothe Algaterra vs Shandari Banaan- Kvothe does battle with Shandari Banaan, another Rilan, in the old ruins of a city. A number of mistakes on Shandari's part makes the battle a short one, and Kvothe takes a resounding victory.
