YESKy Maryk was a Force-sensitive human male Onderonian Jedi Knight hailing from the Inner Rim planet Onderon. As a young man, Ky joined the Onderonian military as a peace officer. However, upon discovering his latent Force abilities, he sought out the Jedi Order on Ajan Kloss where he was trained to use his abilities.
Biography
Ashamed of his failure, Ky instead took up bounty hunting and met up with a Mandalorian bounty hunter named Bryx Dryden on a job and, though the two initially butted heads, they eventually became friends. With Bryx as his bounty hunting partner, Ky got a taste of the lawlessness of the galaxy. The older Mandalorian also taught the younger Onderonian everything he knew about bounty work and even gave him additional combat training. However, as Ky reached his twenties, his powers manifested again—this time whenever he became enraged. Unlike on Onderon, Bryx made no move to abandon Ky. Instead, the Mandalorian told Ky about some "wizards" called Jedi he had heard of in his travels; he believed these wizards had similar powers to Ky and thought he might learn from them.
Given what he had seen during his time as a bounty hunter, the young Jedi Padawan thought that a Jedi's duty should be more in line with the job preformed by the Sector Rangers, whom he gained a great deal of respect for during his training. Ky wanted to use his training and powers to resolve crimes, help the hurting, and bring justice to the galaxy. Meanwhile, his Master cautioned patience and stressed to him that a Jedi was not responsible for imposing justice upon the galaxy. Instead, they suggested that a Jedi's job was conflict resolution and peacekeeping. Despite these disagreements, which remained even after their partnership ended, Ky came to respect Master Har and completed his Jedi training at the age of twenty-five standard years.
Personality and traits
As a member of the Jedi Order, Ky was somewhat a controversial figure. Though he was a strict adherent to the Jedi Code (or, at least, his interpretation of it), Ky had little patience for the somewhat reclusive nature of the New Jedi Order. He strongly believed a Jedi's job was similar to a law enforcement officer: to keep the peace, to seek out and imprison dangerous members of galactic society, and to stand up for the weak spread across the galaxy. He also believed in action over passiveness, as the history he had learned on Ajan Kloss taught him that the passiveness of the Jedi Order had time-and-time-again led to the rise of the Sith and other dark organizations.
As a consequence, Ky had a hard time feeling at home among other Jedi and only returned to Ajan Kloss to report back to the Council or to take on a new mission. He felt much more at ease when he was out in the galaxy doing what he loved most. He was also unusual for a Jedi in that he frequently broke bread with smugglers, bounty hunters, and the like, perhaps owing to his days traveling the galaxy as a bounty hunter with the Mandalorian Bryx Dryden. Yet, despite his differences from the other Jedi and his ideological disagreements with the Council, Ky was deeply devoted to Jedi principles and a staunch follower of the light side of the Force.
Powers and abilities
Ky's Form VII training led him to develop more than just his personal style of sword fighting. It also dictated his overall fighting style. Because Form VII required its user to use the Force in every movement, Ky built up a high Force stamina and a more acrobatic fighting style than most contemporary Jedi Knights. For instance, he was naturally skilled in parkour, but learned to incorporate the Force into his movements, allowing him to run on walls and leap across huge distances. Ky did not consider himself a healer, nor did he bother himself with the more esoteric techniques favored by some Jedi. However, he was skilled with telekinesis, could project Force barriers, and was noted to be able to hide his presence in the Force.
As a youth, Ky suffered from prophetic dreams and occasional bouts of psychometry. However, through his training with Master Har, he was able to close his mind to his dreams, stopping them forever. On the other hand, he was still occasionally prone to psychometry and found the innate ability useful due to finding himself more of a law-enforcement-type Jedi Knight. In addition to his Jedi skills, Ky was a skilled pilot and mechanic—skills picked up during his time as a bounty hunter—and his time spent in the Outer Rim meant that, while he typically spoke Galactic Basic, he could also speak Huttese or droid Binary.
