history:
Nobody knows how Isthraxa came by his psionic powers. His mother is a woodcarver and his father a travelling puppeteer. Since he didn't have much of a talent for voices, he expected to follow in his mother's footsteps. But they lived on the windward cliffs and everybody needed to learn how to fight. Quite a bit of trouble comes forth on the wind. They were teaching archery and starting with the stance and technique. The students were given bows but no arrows. That did not stop Ishthraxa from hitting the target.
From there it seemed wasteful to not use his gift. He joined the military under Clan Straillia and was assigned to the Windward Marines. When you were on a ship, a soldier that made his own arrows was convenient. The older hands brought him up to speed on the life of a marine. Complaining about the sailors who complained right back. The endless waiting followed up by a few moments of "I really wish I were bored now." The rotating jokes/not-jokes about who was the jinx on the ship.
He never jokes about jinxes anymore. He's the only member of that unit left. His term was marked by pirates and skirmishes and monsters. It was a bloody couple of years but he survived. Over those years the power in him surged and her found himself able to do more with his gift. One of the pirate crews they had had an outlander with an bow of great power. He took the bow and went through the same training he had done years ago. It took some time but he began to understand the bow. After which he passed it on, as he didn't need it anymore.
He found he had a few gifts besides hurling death. One of them was of great interest to his commanders. When they found out that he could make himself take on the color of his surroundings, they transferred him. His new unit was The Unseen Rain. It was a small, elite unit used for special missions. They would go behind enemy lines, often by having a Nomad fold them in. They were tasked with finding specific objectives and dealing with them quickly and quietly.
One mission went badly. He thinks that they were sent in by a political faction to deal with another political faction. They were caught and captured.
