Personal History

Early Years

Born to a wealthy family (Year -2, Day 133, 2:33) on the planet of Thyferra in the small town of Shrumby. Jinko had the privilege of a stable childhood growing up happy and healthy, although lonely due to the age difference of him and his siblings. Jinko is the youngest of 5 siblings and was born on Thyferra. He comes from a long line of medical professionals stemming back to the original Bacta discovery. Some call his family "Bacta Barons", usually those not as well off. From a young age Jinko showed signs towards his calling. He was often the one patching up his siblings and cousins. He was noted for once nursing a near death Vratix back to health after an attempted kidnapping (see: Kidnapping Attempt). Jinko gives his best in academics and keeps his body like a temple with a strict workout routine. He did not spend much time with siblings unless it was to patch them up. His lack of interest in other people began to make him slightly introverted and led to a decline in his bedside manner. To this day it is something he works hard at yet never seems to improve. After the attempted kidnapping, Jinko was given a shack by his father at Valendrin's insistence. The shack was an old storage hut that had fallen into disrepair. Approximately 20' by 12'with a roof-line of 8'6" on a 6:12 pitch. Constructed of stout wood and an older style thatch roof. Jinko was given the task of repairing it from Valendrin. He spent the next three months before the shacks destruction. After the loss of his first shack, Jinko had some help building a newer and better shack. It still stands on his families estate. Upon the death of Valendrin, Jinko found the old Brandy recipe of Valendrin's. Valendrins will had left it, among other things, to the distraught young man. Not knowing what to do besides brew it, Jinko sunk his life savings into his own brewery. He hired his acquantances from the scrap yard to run it. Jinko sends a bottle to all of his friends as gifts or to fellow officers who get promoted.

Kidnapping Attempt

During Year 12 Day 188, Jinko was traveling with his family to an event in the Capital from their small chateau. Extremists comprised of Human and Vratix attacked them in hopes of getting a hefty ransom from Jinko's family wealth. The attack was turned away by a 14 year old Jinko and the family guard. Jinko managed to shoot down two of the Vratix himself. He immediately began to treat the would be kidnappers with medical attention and saved two of them from death (they were subsequently sent for hard labor). The house guard's personal respect grew, especially that of the Man-at-Arms Valendrin, after the 14 year old saved his arm from amputation, and him from an early retirement. Later investigations revealed that the kidnappers had help from the inside but no substantiating proof was found. As a result of the attempt, Jinko was allowed to study the martial and ranged skills from Valendrin after his mother interposed.

Valendrin's Tuteledge

Valendrin (Year 12)

Valendrin Trastup (Born:Year -51 & Deceased Year 18)was the Man-at-Arm's for the Blixto Family. He was inducted into the family guard after Emperor Guinar Ndengin took power in Year 12. Valendrin had no desire to learn yet another marching order from a new Emperor with new ideas, so he asked to be discharged. He was given an honorable discharge and immediate employment from William Blixto of the Blixto Estates. Valendrin had a previous marriage that fell apart. There was one child, a daughter, that disappeared under mysterious circumstances that Valendrin has never elaborated on. He never again sought out long term female companionship, instead he married his job. He spent his first year training and hiring guards for his new job. No one really knows how the job even became available but some surmised that William and Valendrin knew each other previously. Valendrin served with distinction, even saving a young Jinko and his mother from an ambush in his first couple years of service. He won the respect of the entire household with his steadfast attitude and no-nonsense way of talking. He was proud of his job and of how young Jinko was turning out. Valendrin spent most of his off duty time at his friends bar, The Tilted Transdoshan. The "Double T", as it was called by the locals who frequented it, was in the seedier part of Shrumby. He had his own table that he shared with "The Boys", his old army buddies. Valendrin was known to have a taste for brandy and even had his own recipe that he brewed himself every few years. The proprietor kept a private stash of the liquor in the back. Valendrin was murdered on Year 18 with Jinko himself apprehending the perpetrator with a bit of help. The murderer is still awaiting trial as of Year 19 Day 287 with a scheduled trial within Year 20. Jinko had a statue commemorated to him that stands beside his shack. Valendrin also has the Thyferran Brandy named "V" named after him.

William Blixto

Personal Life William Blixto (Born Year -56) comes from an old line of medical professionals and has a few well regarded papers he has written. His net worth is assessed at 180 Million credits. This is a conservative estimate based on property and work income. He owns an estate named Blixto Estates in the upper hemisphere of the sunward side of Thyferra. It lies a mere 6 hour flight from the capital of the planet. The estate comprises over 60 acres of lush forest with a stream in the upper quadrant of the property. In his twenty's William met a young Gabrielle at a party in the capital. Gabrielle was also a medical professional, dedicated to finding new ways for bacta to treat ailments. William, a surgeon, was a dashing and well spoken man. Upon finding out she had the proper noble lineage, William decided to court her. After three months a wedding was held on his estate. Within a year they had their first child and from there Gabrielle decided she wanted to be a mother instead of a scientist. William, being a controlling and vain man, found this to his liking as it cemented his position as the house head. After his first three children, William made a profitable venture and started dedicating more and more time to his fledgling business. Jinko never really spent anytime with him, knowing his nanny and servants better than his own father. This put a strain on the relationship that is still present to this day. Upon the murder of Gabrielle, William cut almost all ties to Jinko. He never confiscated anything from Jinko but he never said anything to Jinko at the funeral and does not return any correspondence. William never even tried to find the murderer, Jinko did that.

Medical School

Military Career

Jinko entered his training on Prakith with vigor. He was quite impressed with LTCMDR Tyra and his knowledge coupled with an easy manner. He admitted to himself that it was mostly because Tyra reminded him of Valendrin.
