Template:UnderConstruction Tovakinpi Toshikhan is a prominent military officer serving as the Chief of Staff within the Royal Hapan Army. He was born to his father Darius Toshikhan and his mother Kat'rien Toshikhan in 4000 on Corellia. His parents, both Hapan, were in self-imposed exile from the Hapes Consortium after chased out by their respective families as disgraces to their respective names each being on opposing sides during the Hapan civil war, they married and adopted a new name with no meaning to hold them back and no legacy to uphold. Toshikhan has previously also served in the Royal Hapan Navy.
Early Life
Toshikhan was born to his Hapan parents years after they fled Hapan space. He lived most of his early life in space as his parents owned a small-time shipping company and carried goods back and forth across the galaxy. Through this Toshikhan was able to pick up small skills by piloting his families YT-1300 Thunderbird. Toshikhan's education was provided by his parents, very little containing academic information primarily consisting of skills and trades for later on in his life.
At the age of ten, life changed during a routine delivery on Corellia where a radical terrorist organization set of a bomb in the middle of the spaceport that Toshikhan's parents were operating in. Shielded by his mother’s corpse he survived the blast and made his way back to the Thunderbird. He set course for the only family he knew of, the ones he had never met in the Hapes Cluster, even knowing he had no chance of finding them without a name it was the only thing that Toshkihan had to go on.
Arriving at Lorell Toshikhan, not yet very skilled in piloting, crashed the Thunderbird and was knocked out. Awaking days later in a hospital he was placed in an orphanage, which he lived for the next nine years of his life. Unable to find his family Toshikhan eventually joined the Royal Hapan Navy.
Military Career
Upon joining the Royal Hapan Armed Forces Toshikhan originally joined the Royal Hapan Navy. During the first few months of his service he was reassigned several times amongst fleets and served under several commanders such as the 7th Hapan Fleet under Robin Hood, 9th Hapan Fleet under Vang Tyrridon, and the 17th Hapan Fleet under Scott Alexander before he found a more permanent home in the 1st Hapan Fleet under Gane Lant who eventually became his first mentor. Toshikhan served working his way up from Fleet Morale Officer, Line Executive Officer and eventually to Line Commander as Gane Lant was replaced by Yassar Earendil. He reached the rank of Lieutenant within the Royal Hapan Navy though he quickly became dissatisfied with the naval lifestyle.
Royal Hapan Army
Shortly before the anniversary of him joining the Royal Hapan Navy, he started seeking a different career with more excitement. After mentioning this he was spoken to by two officers whom he had to come to respect and look up to, Locke Firecam and Vang Tyrridon, and was eventually offered a position in a soon to be reorganized Royal Hapan Army as commander of the Marine Corps. This was the excitement and opportunity that Toshikhan was looking for and he quickly agreed.
Though he started wearily, Toshikhan was soon more confident in his leadership skills, refusing to sit behind a desk all day he operated alongside his fellow Marines. With a high rate of both speed and efficiency of operations Toshikhan received several remarks of gratitude from the current Army Commander Vang Tyrridon as well as King James, which only spurred him on to do better. Under Toshikhan the Marine Corps eventually grew to be the largest part of the Royal Hapan Army and continuously grew larger.
After some time Toshikhan left the Marines to Heyallo Stylez in order to command the Regiment Corps which recently was in need of a new commander. With this move Toshikhan was placed as second in command of the Royal Hapan Army. Shortly after that now Lord Tyrridon moved back to the Royal Hapan Navy and Toshikhan took overall command of the Hapes Consortium's ground forces..
After taking control of the Royal Hapan Army Toshikhan was faced with a series of challenges both coming from within and outside the Army, which allowed him to recognize issues within the Army’s structure. Toshikhan soon reorganized the Army after a model originally designed by his most recent mentor Vang Tyrridon, which is how the Royal Hapan Army currently operates today, with Toshikhan sitting at the head looking to the future for the challenges that await him.
Personal Life
Toshikhan met his close friend and bodyguard Matthew during his military training upon joining the Royal Hapan Navy when they participated in a large bar brawl over an argument of piloting techniques. Matthew now retired from the military works as Toshikhan's personal aid and bodyguard and served as his best man at Toshikhan's first wedding.
The first love of Toshikhan's life, as well as his first wife, was Anya Veila-Turner. Soon after their wedding Anya fled into seclusion after the death of her brother and is now presumed dead along with the couples’ unborn twins. Toshikhan broke his promise to himself never to fall in love again when he entered into a relationship with one of his soldiers, Maiestyes Pryvie. The couple is now engaged and currently making wedding plans among their busy schedules.
Toshikhan shortly after joining the Royal Hapan Army accepted a position as Retainer of the reinstated noble House Tyrridon from his mentor and commander, Vang Tyrridon. Toshikhan proudly served until he became the Army Commander and was no longer legally able to as a member of the Grand Council.
