Kiran Vox

= = Pyschological Profile and Abilities: "That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end" - Lise Hand

Kiran is somewhat shy and naive. Because he has spent most of his life in the Vo'jn military he has encountered some difficulties with adapting to human life. While he understands most of its culture there are certain elements of human behaviour that elude him (Puns can cause a great deal of confusion). He tries his best not to be literal minded. He also has a hard time dealing with his Vo'jn instincts which cause him to do a lot of things that he finds embarrassing (such as climbing everything he sees or trying to hunt whatever he thinks is stalking him). While climbing and leaping from building to building he displays an almost childlike behaviour. He is something of a Hopeless romantic, believing in true love and living happily ever after with his "soul mate" this makes him incapable to breaking up with someone who he feels he truly has a bond with and makes it harder for him when they decide to call the relationship off. He is a very spiritual person clinging to his Vo'jn beliefs. Kiran is haunted by his past deeds often having nightmares about a certain scenario he refers to as "The Assault on Steel Wind".

Speaking habits: Kiran is very soft spoken and he speaks with what sounds like a very thick Russian accent. He prefers to speak formally, avoiding the use of colloquialism and avoids compounding his words saying "that is" or "you cannot do that" instead of "that's" and "you can't do that". English is not his first language so there are times where he will ask someone to find the appropriate word for him often saying often saying something along the lines of "How is it called?".. He prefers not to speak his native tongue in front of people as he considers it rude (After all there is no Vo'jn Lexicon on earth) however under stressful circumstances or when he is caught by surprise he will curse in his native language.

= = History:

Life Before Earth:
Kiran was born to the famous Vo'jn General Ilkas Hren and the priestess Vidden Shec on the solar date 20th of March 2003. Like all Vo'jn males he was taken away from his parents and placed in isolation for the first fourteen years(Vo'jn) of his life. During his time in isolation Kiran received basic military training to help prepare him for his trials. At the age of fourteen he met his parents for the first time. Despised by his father and loved by his mother he was named Kiran due to being the runt of the litter. He was sent back to Praxx VI, the Vo'jn home world, alongside his brothers to partake in the ancient trials that would determine which clan he belonged to. During the trials the brothers were hunted down by a small group of Shraxx. One by one the brothers fell until Kiran was the only one left standing. After completing his trials he emerged as a member of the Vox clan. There he was taught the art of assassination. His body would become a weapon, his guns and swords mere extensions of himself.

While serving in the Vo'jn Military A race known as the Iskaddi staged a coup against their Vo'jn rulers believing they were the true heirs to the Omni-sphere a powerful machine which the Vo'jn consortium worshipped. In order to take the Sphere the Iskaddi planned on ramming one of their colonies, Steel Wind, into Praxx VI. Kiran was part of the Vo'jn peacekeepers onboard alongside his mother and father. When the uprising began Kiran was ordered to purge every Iskaddi he saw, Man or woman, young or old. Kiran came across a small band of children armed makeshift weapons. Instead of attacking him they cowered and his father handed him a Kukri and ordered him to "put them down himself or join them in a body bag". The horrified Kiran did so without question. During the course of the assault his mother was killed sending his father insane. His father blamed him for the death of his brothers and his mothers and lashed out. Kiran defended himself against his father and bested him. Rather than suffer the indignity of dying at the hands of a runt his father impaled himself on his own Kukri effectively leaving Kiran alone. After the uprising was quelled all Iskaddi Settlements were purged and Kiran left the dead husk of Steel Wind with the blood of his brood and an entire species on his hands.

At the age of 18 years (Vo'jn) Kiran was selected as part of a unit of marines to be sent to earth in order to assist earths governing bodies with any interplanetary threats. In order to adapt to earths climate the Vo'jn had to undergo six of acclimatisation. This was dangerous for them as they were exposing themselves to viruses and diseases that they had no immunity against. During acclimatisation they were required to learn as much about human culture and the English language. Because their immune system has been adapted to earths environment they could no longer return home as acclimatisation to a Vo'jn environment could possibly kill them due to Praxx VI having more diseases.

Life on Earth:
Kiran was released from Acclimatisation on the 4th of March 2010. Becasue he was the youngest and most inexperienced of the marines his Commanding Officer, Vect Hren, sent him to Millennium City to deal with the rising gang propblems in the westside accompanied by two other officers. Not content with looking after the run the two senior marines attemped to loose Kiran. Eventually they succeeded when they lead him to a place known as Club Caprice. It was there that Kiran met a group of people, Sarah Enia of this earth, Tanya Thompson AKA Lightstorm and her Boyfriend Fizzle who quickly became his friends. In order to meet with them he frequently snuck out of the Vo'jn bunker during curfew (often facing the wrath of his C.O. when he returned). However as days passed and he got to know them better he started to experience feelings for Lightstorm. These feelings caused him to panic as they conflicted with the Vo'jn ideals that had been imprinted on him as well as the thought of betraying Fizzle. He began transfering these feelings onto other women in order to bury the feelings for her.

On the 7th of March Kirans unit was given the task of assaulting ARGENT's head quarters in Millennium City. However Argent was waiting for them and they walked into an ambush. The Vo'jn commander Vect Hren was abducted and transported elsewhere while Kiran was left fending off against several waves of argent soldiers and Mech enforcers. If it were not for the intervention of his friends he would have perished. Upon returning to his command bunker He saw a drop ship leaving. When he contacted the Consortium high command they informed him that they saw the ambush through their helmet feeds and blamed the human government for the ambush and had evacuated the priestesses who remained at the bunker. When requesting a drop ship he was told that they would not risk sending a drop ship for one soldier in case of a human ambush and left him stranded on the planet.

While recovering from this ordeal Kiran encountered a blind heroine who worked alongside Tanya in Cross Industries. Fascinated by her the two began dating. Kiran later joined the Tactical devision of Cross Industries. During his employment under Cross Industries a colleague from the science department was able to create a series of nanites that allowed him breathe air that was thinner than the air that can be found in Praxx VI, She also gave him specially enhanced contact lenses that allowed him to see the full spectrum rather than just red, blue and green.

Kiran eventually set out to search for his commanding officer. However he found that a Urazian scientist named Urazian Sec was at a facility in Canada with a pack of Uraz/Human Hybrids. Not able to let a Uraz walk free on the planet he attempted to kill Sec. Unfortunately Lightstorm chose that moment to try and hail him via a communicator he gave her. This alerted Sec to his location and Kiran was forced to deal with the Hybrids and ARGENT soldiers while Sec fled the scene. Kirans shields were no match for the combined Urazian and ARGENT weaponry and he was injured. He was taken back to a lab owned by Cross Industries to recover.

After his recovery Kiran returned to Canada in the hopes of finding more information on the Urazian scientist. However he found his commander walking free in the facility. When confronting him about this his commander informed him that the mission was never to protect earth but to kill Sec without invading it. He revealed that he leaked information to ARGENT in order to get closer to Sec and showed no remorse for the death of his unit. Unable to let him get away with this Kiran executed his commander in cold blood and took his Helm as a trophy. He became distraught that he had taken another life beleiving something bad would come of it. Comforted by the heroine he revealed his face to her to show her how he really felt about her. His prophecy came true and their relationship did not last as she died in his arms after trying to save another member of Cross Industries.

Distraught by this Kiran ran off and eventually ran into the Urazian scientist and his minions. They overwhelmed him and brought him to one of the twisted scientists labs. He later returned to Millennium city as one of the monstrous Hybrids until he was confronted by Lightstorm, Fizzle, Exy and Andrew, one of his colleagues. After nearly Killing Lightstorm Kiran was eventually taken down by Andrew and was taken back to The Cross Industries labs where he is currently held until they can reverse the process.

With the help of Andrew Sec was captured and brought to Lightstorm's lab where he was forced to revert the changes that he had made to Kiran. After doing so the lab was invaded by allies of sec who proceeded to incapacitate Andrew and free the Urazian Scientist.

First Marriage:
Days after his recovery Kiran and Tanya discovered that Fizzle had been killed in action. The resulting stress had caused him to loose his voice. While undergoing therapy Kiran recieved a talking computer that allowed him to communicate with others.

When visiting his friends in Caprice he met a heroine from Puerto Rico named La Mariposa whom he began dating a few days after. During the course of their relationship Kiran regained his voice. Things seemed to be taking a turn for the better for him as he was then promoted to leader of the tactical department within Cross Industries.

Kiran and La Mariposa eventually married and left for their honeymoon. When Kiran returned to Cross Industries he noticed the company had undergone an unwelcomed change. Team members he once had respect for were commiting morally questionable acts for their own personal gain and an alarming number of demons were being recruited. Kiran and several others began to feel that Cross Industries no longer shared their ideals and left.

While several of his colleagues left to begin teaching in Halcyon Academy, Kiran went with his wife to teach in the newly opened Arete Institution. However Kirans marriage to La Mariposa was not a happy one. Kiran and Tanya eventually bought out a saloon in Snakes Gultch which was named the Storms Shelter Saloon whichw as to be used as a venue for students for both schools to relax at.

The Divorce, The Return of Magdella and Old Feelings:
When taking a group of students with a fellow teacher to Burial Butte on a lesson on dealing with the undead Kiran and the group encountered a little girl who had been attacked by the Super villain Necrull. The girl told them that her mother was taken to the burial caves to be sacrificed. It was decided that a rescue should be mounted and a small group went into the caves. After defeating Necrull and his undead Hoards the Little girl transformed into Magdella The Cruel, Lightstorm's Arch nemesis. After making threats on Tanyas’ friends and retrieving a scroll from Necrull Magdella Retreated and Kiran returned to Tanya to deliver the bad news.

Kiran was then ambushed by a group of mysterious machines commanded by Magdella which took his helm and tried to take his life. He escaped and hid until his wounds healed. His repeater pistols were damaged in the assault and Kiran has taken up using a Vo'jn Repeater Bow Salvaged from his old bunker.

The following day Kiran and La Mariposa finalise a no-fault divorce on grounds of irreconcilable differences. Not wanting Kiran to end up on the streets again Maria signed over her apartment to him, Kiran declined her offer to pay alimony feeling he had no right to take anything from her. Unable to stay in the apartment because of the painful memories it would bring Kiran has rented a small apartment in Millennium City Centre near the Dynamic Technologies Research Group building.

Magdella then Contacted Kiran via the comm unit in his helm to inform him that she had taken hostages and was ready to execute them if he did not give her a collection of regents required for a ritual. One of the Regents was Lightstorm. Afterburner, A student from Halcyon Academy forced him to admit his feelings for LightStorm for better or worse, least he loose his only chance to tell her how he really felt. To Kirans surprise she returned his feelings but they agreed that now was not the time for them to enter a relationship.

After collecting the regents for Magdella Lightstorm Handed herself over to Magdella and in turn Magdella told Kiran the location of the hostages. Alongside Nancy Belmonte and members of the Freedom resistance group Kiran went over to the location. To his horror he found most of the hostages had been killed and only one survived.

Alicia Exy Thompson, Lightstorm's younger sister managed to discover Lightstorm's whereabouts and informed Kiran whom mounted an assault on Magdellas Stronghold. After a battle with the Lemurian Priestesses Mechanical Minions and the Arch-villain Herself Kiran was able to save Lightstorm. However Magdella had dissappeared without a trace.

Marriage to Lightstorm and the founding of S.T.A.N.D.:
Kiran and Tanya went on a series of dates before eventually becomming engaged after they took a trip to Lemuria. The two became married on the 4th or December 2010. They both left for their honeymoon in venice eventually returning on the 11th of december 2010.

Tanya was approached by Defender and asked to gather a specialised team to combat any threats that arrise while the Champions themselves are preoccupied. Kiran left the Arete Institute to join this team in order to help uphold the peace and set an example to the public. The group was known as S.T.A.N.D. The Super Team Against Nefarious Dangers.

Becomming an Imbued:
While trying to take down a criminal known as the Body Count Procedure in Vibora Bay, Kiran was ambushed on a rooftop. When he awoke he found himself onboard an Inquisition ship pending execution for crimes against the Vo'jn Consortium and acts of Heresy against the Omni-Sphere. Just as he was about to be executed he was taken to the home of the old gods by Vox’Kesh the god of the Wind and patron god of Clan Vox. Vox’Kesh then informed Kiran that during his trails he became imbued with his essence and his powers were awakened allowing Kiran to gain dominion over the wind. The old gods then informed Kiran that for abandoning them in favour of the Omni-Sphere the Vo’jn and any planet they inhabit are to be destroyed unless the Omni-Sphere is destroyed and the Vo’jn go back to worshipping the old gods.

With theses newfound powers Kiran made his escape from the Inquisition ship and crashlanded back on earth. When he awoke he foundhimself in Mercy Hospital with his wife watching over him. Tanya agreed to help him learn to control his newfound powers having gone through something similar with hers.
