Shas'ui T'au Kais

Stats[]

STRENGTH	500	Kais is very well built for a soldier but the tau's way of war is for ranged combat. Though his trial by fire resulted in a forced adaption to CQC (close quarters combat). He has become proficient at it and is well versed in the way of the honor blade(usually an ethereal weapon and badge of office)
ENDURANCE	1000	Kais has always had an extreme knack for strategy and tactics (his name literally translates to "skillful" this has developed to a degree that his peers would describe this as a super ability.
PERCEPTION	1,150	Kais has been trained at the fire cause academy his entire childhood 3-12 years of age well drilled in ranged and Melee combat. Due to the loss of his squad mates and being the only survivor, he has well adapted himself to single combat against multiple combatants.
AGILITY	900	Tau by biological nature are not very quick, after all they have hooves for feet and only three fingers with opposing thumbs and that doesn't make for a very versatile close combat or quickness platform. Being in good physical shape has made up for this in a large manner, but his is only about as quick as an average human soldier.
CONSTITUTION	1,450	Kais has withstood massive amounts of physical and mental punishment in his short yet very intense combat career. Both mentally and physically. However coming into contact with the chaos powers has not corrupted his mind (tau are immune to that) but it has seemed to prolong his lifespan. Though nobody seems to know how much it has. He is protected by a combat suit of iridium armor and has an air filtration system that allows him to survive space/poison/biological hazards.
TOTAL	5,000	/10,000

Backstory[]

After the academy, Kais was sent to his first trial by fire (a right of passage for all warriors of the Fire caste) essentially it's a first deployment. This first mission is supposed to be easy, (the mission was a rescue mission of an ethereal captured by the imperial guard. Who in turn were under the influence of a chaos incursion.) upon the drop to the planet half of Kaia's squad was wiped out at the landing sight. The other half being killed during the first ten minutes. His squad leader gave him the bonding sword in his dying moments. The next twenty four hours were a living hell as after he single handedly rescued the ethereal by fighting through the two whole companies of imperial soldiers and finding the ethereal alive. Upon returning to the ship, they were boarded by storm troopers of the imperial guard intent on taking back the tau ethereal. The imperial boarding was unsuccessful and the tau resolved to launch a counter boarding onto the imperial cruiser. The incursion turned out to be nearly deadly to all the tau forces, only Kais reaching the enemy bridge and being knocked out by a Space Marine Captain. This was followed by a meeting of the (space marines) and the learning of what chaos is and what the potential of such a force could do. This chaos force of nature turned out to be what the space marines were after. The ship was set to self destruct by the planet's governor and Kais dropped from the ship in a dreadnaught escape pod back to the surface of the planet. Kais then assisted the space marines in attacking the fortress of the governor that turned out to be a massive warp infestation. Single handedly killed two demon princes and destroyed a chaos titan. Finding the ethereal again captured, kais tried to rescue him and bring him back. Unfortunately was killed by a chaos marine before Kais could save him. Kais resolved to kill the imperial governor, and as such when he found him killed the governor, who wanted to die all along. His death spawned a greater demon of ztcheench. Again Kais defeated it single handedly and regrouped with the space marine Captain. The end result of this twenty four hour hell mission was the collective blowing up of the planet by an imperial armada. And due to Kais assisting the imperials they allowed him and his ship to escape back to tau space. Following return to the tau homeworld Kais was in such a destroyed mental state they put him back home with his family until he went to a council meeting with ethereals six months later to discuss what had transpired there and what had been learned. At that time his mental constitution had been restored and they agreed to let him go on a mission to find out more about the galaxy and the secrets that it held. As it was apparent though his mental state was damaged through the heavy ordeal, he seemed immune to the effects of corruption that he had mentioned during the meeting with the ethereals and as such was sent as the best candidate to discover more about chaos.
