== Character History ==
=== Early life ===
There are a lot of blanks that need to be filled in Raziel’s life. Such as, his real name, where he was born, who his biological family is, or was, really all kinds of things. The only two names he’s known are Raziel, as you might imagine, and the one before it, Slave.

It’s this cruel life where his tale truly begins. Raz’s first memories were of service on a Star Yacht, owned by a [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] of less than stellar reputation. His name? Master, so far as Raziel ever knew. Working for his Master, Raziel began by carrying drinks and food, oftentimes as something of a conversation piece.

{{Quote|Look! He has no eyes but he knows where to bring the food, and he doesn’t stumble or spill! You really should get one of your own. Oh, this one? No, not for sale, he’s too entertaining.|The Master}}

As he got older and became more trustworthy, Raziel’s job shifted from food and drink service to crawling through the bowels of the overlarge yacht with a glow rod and a vibroknife, hunting small vermin. As one might imagine, rodents surprising the guests was not good form, and the electrowhip carried by the Overseer was a solid educational tool. When that failed, there were other, more creative teaching tools.

As a headstrong child, Raziel became well acquainted with all of them.

==== Making Friends ====

One would think if everyone had common ground, it would be easier to make friends among the slaves. That wasn't perfectly the case, however. Most lacked the spirit to do more than work until they died and as such, weren't the peak of conversationalists. A few, however, stood out.

Teacup, one of the few who had a name before becoming a slave, was an elderly man, but that didn't stop him. It was almost as if nothing could stop him at all, besides time. He loved regaling the other slaves of his time in the Clone Wars, the Jedi he served with, his brothers all just like him, and their noble cause. He was less interested in discussing why he'd become separated from his unit and how he came to be a slave.

A matronly human woman of early thirties named Dallaer was another friend. She liked to talk about the glamour of her life and how she used to be a cut above the rest of the slaves due to being a courtesan. That life ended in her mid-twenties when she'd grown too old to entertain the way she used to be able to, and her youthful exuberance had been replaced with tired routine. Being sent to work service had taught her a lesson in humility, and grounded her. It was she who often cared for the younger slaves, including Raziel, making sure they were fed, bathed, and clothed before the elders. The 180 her life had taken, had certainly left its mark.

Gellie, a teal [[starwars:Twi%27lek|Twi'lek]], and probably Raziel's first crush. She was another vermin hunter, and excellent at what she did. The budding bond between she and Raziel began over competing with one another over who was the better hunter. Before long that competition turned to caring, and then that caring turned to heartache. Gellie was killed while receiving the lash for her spirited behavior.

=== Middle Years ===
In his early teens, Raziel hit a growth spurt, and no longer fit the job of vermin hunter. This suited him just fine, but the next task laid out for him made vermin hunter seem a lot more entertaining. Labor of the basic variety, such as loading and offloading cargo, luggage, fuel, and other sundry things, was the order of the rest of his life. Each stop it was more of the same, pick up the heavy thing. Move the heavy thing. Pick up another heavy thing. Repeat until complete.

As he worked, Raziel could see people in the ports, and often wondered about them. Merchants, mechanics, the occasional diplomat, even Stormtroopers every so often. They were the most entertaining of all, but only after they left. Another of his fellows seemed to have the worst opinion of them.

{{Quote|Buncha Bucketheads, lookit’em, acting all proud. They wouldn’t know which end of the blaster to hold if it wasn’t labeled on the stock.|Slave friend of Raziel aka [[starwars:ARC troopers|ARC trooper]] 1T11T “Teacup”}}

It was on one such loading duty in the [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] where life was about to make a sudden and dramatic change. An armored being, plated head to toe, happened to walk by, but they paused long enough to get a good look at Raziel. Believing this person to be a Mandalorian, Raziel watched as he worked, but that kind of divided focus got him more than he wanted; the Overseer’s attention.

The electrowhip struck him maybe three times before the situation changed. After that third lash, a blur of things occurred, roughly in the order of the armored person igniting a rusty orange-yellow lightsaber, the electrowhip getting cut in half, the Overseer getting cut in half, and two security guards being shot. There are some questions as to whether that order of operations is correct, but in the end, the punchline was, Raziel was suddenly freed.

=== Becoming [[starwars:Jensaarai|Jensaarai]] ===
{{Quote|”The Way of the Jensaarai isn’t easy.” “You said nothing worth doing ever is.” “You’re right, but you need to be ready. Everything I’ve taught you up until this point was preparation. I could cut you loose in the galaxy tomorrow and you’d be just fine. Training you as a seeker of the hidden truth? You have to know it, you have to feel it.” “How do I know?” “You’ll wake up one morning and everything will be different. It’ll feel hollow, empty, lacking. When the world is not enough, then you’re ready, because the emptiness within you wants to be filled.” “There’s an emptiness in me?” “Well of course, you’ve got no name. Dig through the holodrama library and find one you like. It’s your name after all.” |Mari Tanabel and Raziel, the day he found his name.}}

Jensaarai Defender Mari Tanabel, an [[starwars:Echani|Echani]] woman of both skill and compassion had liberated Raziel from his servitude. She had seen in him a mark of Force strength beyond the usual for his people, and felt it her duty to see to his continued survival. It might have helped that her husband Tharsis was a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]].

Life went from hard labor in lugging boxes to hard labor in learning how to move, fight, and operate a forge. This was much more preferable to Raziel as there was variety to the tasks. He could work at that stuff all day, but Mari didn’t make him. She spent time with him, spoke to him, and taught him numbers in addition to his Force training. She taught him how to feel his emotions and when they needed controlled.

But most of all, she taught him how to take control of his own destiny. After he spent a day rifling through Tharsis' holodrama library, he came across a name in a historical documentary. That wasn't the day Raziel was reborn, but it was definitely the day he was reconceived.

==== The Mysteries of the Force ====
{{quote|She'd never say it, it's just not her way, but my wife is so deeply attuned to the Force that I often wonder who she loves more, me or it. I suppose if I'm to have competition, some magical energy would certainly be worth it.| Tharsis, talking to Raziel over breakfast one day.}}

Training in the ways of the Force was unique, to say the least. Mari was never content to sit him down and make him feel the world. Her approach was one that said the Force would be most noticed when the mind and body are too tired to ignore it. As such, his Force training was as much physical as it was metaphysical. Long-distance running made him mindful of his breath, and how the Force was the breath of all life. Climbing a mountain made him aware that the Force was so much bigger than he was. Pushups taught him that being that close to the ground meant he was closer to the planet, which existed within the Force. Squats, deadlifts, the bench press? Those were just to become more fit, but that fitness meant that he was perfecting the matter that the luminous Force within him inhabited.

Raziel learned the uselessness of the Jedi and the wastefulness of the Sith. Both spent so much time arguing theological and dogmatic differences and had completely missed the point of it all. The Force was a living thing, not a deity. It required respect, not worship. It was a part of all living things, and to consider one's self divinity was the height of ego. One should be content to be a vessel for the life of all things.

Not that the Jedi and the Sith didn't have things worth learning. Even a stopped chronometer was right once a day after all. He learned to harm and heal in equal measure, how to fool the mind to deescalate a situation or terrify someone to further escalate it. Some of the most useful things, powers for which he had a talent, included controlling and empowering himself, and allowing himself to be subsumed with a group to become stronger as a whole, through Battle Meditation.

==== The Art of the Saber ====

{{Quote|You're a big boy, and you're gonna grow into a bigger man. Just like how the Krayt dragon starts as a big lizard before it gets bigger.|Mari Tanabel}}

Lightsaber training was a world of different for Raziel. His life had been skittering around behind bulkheads before it turned into lifting heavy boxes. Having to learn footwork, stance, breathing, caution, and patience? That was nothing at all he was prepared for. In addition, learning the right posture and attitude that came with the fifth form was foreign. He was supposed to be subservient, that was his whole life. Not to be unstoppable force looking to test every immovable object in his way.

It was difficult, to say the least. The gyroscopic micromovements in the hilt, the lack of weight in the blade. If it weren't for his Miraluka senses, he most certainly would have killed himself a few times over by way of self-decapitation. Time, however, served him. The confidence he'd gained from regaining his own agency in life, his developing skills, all of it meant he did just as Mari predicted. He grew into [[starwars:form v|Djem So]] and through it, grew even more.

==== Forging his path by forging his armor ====
{{quote|The Armor of a Jensaarai is more than just protection. It's a reflection of what's within you. It shows the world just exactly who they're messing with, and you, my Raziel, are an Akk dog. Now don't pout, this isn't an insult. The Akk dog is a loyal, respectful, and loving creature, just like you've become. It's a part of the family. It's also one of the last animals I would want to see coming at me. They chew Durasteel for fun.| Mari Tanabel}}

Raziel's first lightsaber was nothing special, even by Mari's own admission when she made it for him. His second was similarly just a rod of metal with an on/off switch and a crystal that he liked. Before crafting his third, however, something much more vital was made. Mari had kept him in the Forge from the time she'd brought him home, at first teaching him how to clean and maintain the place before moving onto making small things like nails and cloak hooks for the wall. As he'd gotten older, she transitioned him onto more complicated pieces including weapons and other tools, before moving onto armor. It was the most important lesson after all.

She'd been beside him the entire trip through his training, watching him grow, helping him up or showing him how to help himself up when he stumbled, but this, she'd told him, was a solitary thing, meant only for the Jensaarai. Aside of a recording she'd made explaining the Force processes to him, this was the first thing she'd left him fully alone for. "The final quench reveals all. Does the metal crack, or harden? It's the same with the smith. Either a failed apprentice leaves the forge, or a Jensaarai does. There are no in-betweens." she'd reminded him, and with that, he was fully alone, as his master and her husband picked just that time to take a vacation.

For two weeks Raziel worked the forge, heating metal, pounding it to shape with hand tools. Crucial parts to the press and autohammer had been removed, and if that wasn't enough, the belt sanders as well. Progress was slow, as could be expected, but the lessons he'd been taught kept with him. The Force surrounded all things, bound all things together, even that which was not, nor ever, alive. That meant one thing, one lifesaving thing.

For two days he transitioned to forging the parts to the power tools, parts that were all, quite conspicuously, made of metal. Each piece was carefully shaped, precise, and finished as he'd been taught, and once slotted in, work on his armor began in earnest. The [[starwars:durasteel|Durasteel]] that had been a nightmare to forge before, became clay, moving to his whim. Each hit of the hammer brought a rhythm to his work, allowing him to invite the living Force into his armor.

When he emerged at the end of a full month of work, wearing the armor he'd crafted, Mari and Tharsis stood there, proud.

==== The little details ====

Former Official Competition RunOn Guidelines

2012-07-12T01:43:28Z

Mirado:

{{Construction}}

== Rules ==
=== General Rules ===
* Disable Signatures
* Signatures often break the flow of a story and are not allowed in Voice operated RunOns

=== Advanced Rules ===
* Disable Signatures (This is already covered, but it is a big one and can be the difference between winning a competition and failure.)
* Skills are limited to what appears on Character Sheet
* In a competition, you must post at least twice within the entirety of the RunOn to count as participating.

== Guidelines ==
=== Posting Style ===
The point of a RunOn is to build a collaborative story, in this way the style of posting used is critical.
* Length
A typical post should contain at least two paragraphs and consist of 300 or more words
* Formatting
Try to maintain a unified Font Size and Style throughout, allowing for bold and italics
You cannot guarantee that every screen in the world views content the same way, some people may even rely on magnification to read what you post. Don't make it harder for them.
* Be open ended
Leave openings within the post for other PCs to interact and react within their post. It is often a fun means of posting when players can react and have posts "overlap" instead of just being chained together

=== Continuity ===
* Our RunOns typically have a large group of PCs working throughout it, and not necessarily together. In this way, the PCs are sorted into "Player Groups". These PG should establish a "Posting Order" within themselves in order to ensure that everyone is given a fair opportunity to add to the story. This ensures that there will never be two posts at the same time from two different sources, causing confusion and editing.
* The posting order can be circumvented when parties agree to it, Life has a knack for getting in the way.

=== NPC Interaction ===
* In all forms of RunOn it is next to impossible to portray a story without incorporating NPCs into it. The following are the recommended guidelines when creating and interacting with NPCs, whether they are yours or another's.
* NPC naming
* Without name -- In general practice, NPCs without name are considered write offs and will more than likely be written off by other characters. These are typically your cannon fodder characters and will be
treated accordingly within the Runon.
* With name -- These could still be write off characters, it is entirely dependant on the Writer creating them. When you are unsure in this regard, it is advisable you speak to the Writer to find out their intentions. Think of these as sub-PCs instead of a NPC.
* Killing NPCs
* This touches into the naming rule a tad. Make sure before you kill an NPC that it is okay with the Writer that they are killed off. Some Writers may have elaborate plans in store, others may not. Still, those with plans could also be willing to alter their plans and allow the death. Always ask when unsure.
* If they have no name, proceed to treat the Red Shirt with the role it has been dealt. No mercy. No quarter.

=== PC Interaction ===
This can be a great hurdle for many who are new to DJB's particular brand of RP. It is generally accepted practice to write the full interaction, including that of the other PCs involved. This can be daunting and confusing. Once it has been practiced, it becomes second nature, but the following guidelines will prove useful nonetheless.
* Research
* Learn the character before you take the reigns. It can be offputting for a Writer to cultivate their character and have another take it and turn their "Romeo" into "Rambo".
* Utilize Character Sheets to learn the extent of their abilities and attributes
* DJB Wiki -- This is an excellent resource with highly detailed information about the specific characters within the Brotherhood. Give it a look before writing your post.
* Master Plan
* Everyone has a pretty good idea of what they want to do with their characters. Generally, if you aren't in the know on what a given Writer is planning for their PC it is best to discuss it with them, so as
not to completely derail their plans. This is often a natural occurrence amongst Player Groups but it is still good practice regardless.
* When in doubt
* If you are ever unsure about how a particular PC would act in a given situation, simply ask their Writer for help. We have a great community that often collaborates and would be more than willing to help you better understand their creation.

=== Combat Interaction ===
Every member of a RunOn should have an up-to-date Character Sheet. These sheets will be used heavily during combat scenarios to evaluate what is possible and what isn't. In this way, combat within a RunOn becomes extremely similar to combat within the ACC. While not as strictly governed as the ACC, combat in a RunOn should still follow set rules.
* Realism
* All combat should be realistic within the physics of Star Wars -- For example, a 240 lbs. man will not land with the same grace as an 80 lbs. child, unless augmentation is applied via tech or Force
* The Attributes of a CS -- If you have 8 Strength, you will have very real issues in terms of heavy lifting and other tasks, whereas a PC with 18 STR will not have the same issue
* Allow for PC response
* Do not start and finish combat with another PC in a single post, give them a chance to take part in the battle.
* Do not cripple a PC without permission, this includes anything that would severely hinder their ability to battle or give a believable response.
* Killing
* Killing is not allowed without the express permission of the PC itself or a governing party (GM)
* We have all invested large portions of our lives in these characters, do not take that for granted and rob someone of their choice.
* At the same time, try not to put your own character in a situation where the only possible outcome would be death.

=== Side Stories ===
* Side stories... These can be both a boon and a bane to any RunOn. While capable of being strong and compelling, they serve no purpose when they make the reader sit there and wonder: "What did I just read?"
* If you are including a side story of some kind, though not recommended in most cases, be sure to complete the entire arc. Make it believable and interesting, preferably related somehow back to the main plot. The only thing worse than a badly written side-story is an unfinished one. If you are going to do it, go all the way and do it well.
* Once again, it is reminded that side stories have an extreme potential of losing your Judge in a convoluted trap. Try to avoid them when possible and remember that you can always make separate RunOns for the purpose of Character Development.

{{Quote|If you’re not risking your life, you’re not living it.|Mirado}}

== Character History ==
=== Early life ===
'''Venator''' was born Mirado Lhaan on Chandrila, just a simple little boy being raised by refugee parents. He, due to his species, had to hide, and spent almost his entire life indoors and around his parents.

This was all he knew. The truth was, however, much stranger than the fiction.

His name was the only real thing he knew about his life. He was born Mirado Pepoi to Lucien Fey and Fayth Pepoi, on Coruscant. As an infant, during the 4th Battle of Coruscant, Fayth was forced to make the worst decision asked of a mother, and handed her youngest son over to fellow Miralukan refugees Mart and Veila Lhaan, in an effort to preserve as much of her family as possible. This Miralukan couple had sold everything to make the money to get themselves off the planet.

Shortly afterwards, Lucien and Fayth hid their other son [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] away, and died trying to protect themselves and others.

That is the history that took over 20 years for Mirado to learn.

==== Trip to Dantooine ====
At the age of 5, well into the swing of the building of the New Republic, his father had gotten work and could live outside of the sage house. At work in the used speeder lot, Mart Lhaan called into the broadcast station to ask that his wife's favorite song be played. He hadn't heard the cue previously aired, and wound up winning a contest to visit one of the planetary preserve parks.

While on one of the hiking trips, the entire expedition was attacked by a large group of mercenary raiders. Mirado was the only survivor, and has no clue as to why it happened. He was entirely too busy running and hiding.

==== The Crystal Caves ====
[[File:Crystal_caves.jpg|thumb|155px|left|The Crystal Caves of Dantooine]]
While on the run, Mirado happened upon the crystal caves, and wandered in. While hiding out there, he encountered the Force Spirit of his grandfather, a Jedi Knight who was killed during the [[starwars:Battle_of_Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]]. He explained to Mirado that because of the resonant energy of the Force and his familial connection with his grandson, he could appear and communicate with the young boy.

==== Living as a wild child ====
With his grandfather's tutelage and whatever scraps and salvage he could find, Mirado spent several years learning all about the natural world around him, and occasionally killing and eating it as well. If it weren't for the occasional visits by the Force Spirit, Mirado would have likely gone completely insane and totally feral, but these visits helped keep him grounded and aware. In addition to keeping him company, Mirado's grandfather also helped to maintain his education, and spent considerable time training the young boy in the ways of the Force. These lessons would serve to help the boy in his quest to survive.

=== Teenage Years ===
==== Hunting a more dangerous prey ====
Around 25 ABY, Mirado was out hunting for his dinner, and had spent considerable time stalking a small pack of [[starwars:Kath_hound|Kath Hounds]]. While he waited, a group of speeders swept in and began lighting up the area with blaster rifles. Startled, and extremely hungry, he waited just long enough for them to stop shooting before attacking.

He managed to kill four of them before he was blindsided with a [[starwars:Stokhli_spray_stick|Stokhli Spray Stick]]. When he came to, he was sitting manacled to a chair in the cargo hold of a ship. It was several hours of beating before he was even addressed, and when he finally was, it was made clear to him that he'd assaulted the personal retinue of the Devaronian gangster Olhel Noona. It was only because he'd killed four blaster armed people using sharp scraps of speeder wreckage in such a short time that he was going to be kept alive.

To repay their mercy, he would become their own personal bounty hunter.

==== Gearing up ====
The first chance that was gotten, Olhel took Venator (an ancient word for Hunter, and far more intimidating if you asked Olhel) to a back alley cybersurgeon and had cosmetic eye implants lodged into the 15 year old boy's skull. The fortunate and beneficial thing was that without connecting them to Mirado's brain and nervous system Olhel would save a considerable percentage from the cost of surgery, and Mirado would keep his natural Force Sight ability.

As part of a cultivated image, Mirado's back, arms, legs, and some of his chest carry a spiderlike tribal tattoo. This is not something he agreed to however. He wears most often a sleeveless vest with metal hook and eye closures, very wide legged pants which he keeps tucked into his 3/4 knee length combat boots, and a blackened nexu hide coat, this also sleeveless and carrying hook and eye closures.

=== Early Adulthood to Present ===
[[File:Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart big.png|thumb|250px|left|Mirado, the Hunter of Sadow]]
Mirado spent a considerable amount of time serving as a [[starwars:Bounty_Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] for the Olhel Noona gang. During this time he collected several bounties for the crime lord, which amounted to several scalps for his collection as Olhel rarely bothered with keeping live prisoners.

One very unique hunt was for the live capture and return of one Zeltron woman named [[Masika]]. She'd managed to con over half a million credits from the Noona crime family, and had gone on the run. Mirado tracked her to Corellia, but when he finally caught up to her, the Noona gang had already been killed. During the attempt to capture her, however, Mirado nearly choked her to death, permanently damaging her vocal cords, turning her from a Soprano to an Alto.

Mirado left Olhel's employ rather abruptly, to say the least. Acting on the orders of [[Trevarus Caerick|Trev]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Sai]] traveled to Noona's hideout at the time on [[starwars:ession|Ession]] and killed the entirety of the gang, save for Mirado who was on assignment to retrieve Masika on Corellia. As far as the galaxy knew, or cared for that matter, Olhel Noona was dead.

Mirado returned to Ession, only to discover a hooded man waiting on him. Expecting he was next to be killed, Mirado decided not to go without a fight, succeeding in scoring only a small cut on the man who would later be his Quaestor and Consul, before he was knocked very handily upside the head with the Rod of Correction. It wasn't until much later that Mirado awoke on Tarthos, and discovered just exactly where he'd been taken. As of the moment, Mirado is still unaware that Sai was responsible for bringing him into the fold, or that Trev gave the order to make it happen.

=== Unrest in the City ===
==== Seeking Deliverance ====
Mirado wasn't originally deployed to the conflict with [[Deliverance]], but when things turned south, he was sent out to assist his clanmates. As he geared up for this conflict, he was asked to deliver a package to [[Fremoc Pepoi|Fremoc]]. To this day, he has no idea where it came from originally, or what good it did, but he did as asked and delivered it before engaging Deliverance with the rest of his clanmates.

==== The Ekind Uprising ====
Later, during the assault on [[Mucenic]] he was tasked with guiding his soon to be Master [[Macron]] to the command center from his landing zone, and to move with the Night Hawks to make a push to put their Ekind and Vongspawned armies into artillery range.

Following the battle of Mucenic, Mirado was tasked with entering [[Markosian City]] alone as a forward scout for the rest of the Clan. While there, he found a few other Clanmates, including one [[Roxas Buurenaar|Roxas]] who'd taken a serious beating at the hands of an unknown assailant. Mirado drug Roxas to the resistance for treatment, inadvertently giving the armed citizens the leader they needed.

Also during the battle of Markosian City, Mirado made something of an alliance with a [[starwars:Hawk-bat|Hawkbat]] from the local zoo when he released all of the Zoo's inhabitants to assist with the battle. He's named the creature Shrike and is training it, though he refuses to use it as anything more than a hunting companion.

==== In the Interim ====
After the battle of Markosian city, Fremoc requested Mirado remain an ace in the hole in the event that his friends were overwhelmed in the line of duty protecting his family. During this time, his hide was noticed by Kano, and some time afterwards, wound up finding the man after the events of a voodoo ritual he'd performed. Both of these things remained secrets between the two of them. Also during this time, Mirado was appointed the Prefect of [[Gamuslag]], earning him the Rank and Title of D:SOG commander, and thus putting him on Gamuslag on a more permanent basis.

Coming soon!

{{Quote|Where's the part where you kill the guy?|Mirado}}

After the assault, Mirado spent some time training under Methyas in the lightsaber form [[starwars:soresu|Soresu]], to compliment his limited mastery of the [[starwars:makashi|Makashi]] form. In exchange, he taught Methyas how to withdraw more fully his 'Fountain of the Force' technique by way of Teras Kasi meditation techniques, which permitted the elder Miraluka to see far more clearly than he had before, up to being able to visually see the Emboss letters used for visually impaired accessibility. In addition, he is also helping Methyas learn to read.

==== A House Divided ====
Following assignment to command the Raptor team of the Regulators, Mirado and the rest of the Battleteam were assigned to support Macron and his retinue in killing Curwen Sunei. En route, their orders were countered by the newly appointed Fist of the Brotherhood, Fremoc Pepoi. Sunei came peacefully, but performed some warlockery while being brought to the Temple of Fire, leaving the team incapacitated.

Following some misadventure that involved some beatings being taken and dished out, the Regulators made their assault on Curwen Sueni, and were quickly joined by Macron Sadow and his retinue. The final result was, Sunei was dead, but, so was Kano, at Fremoc's hand, following the Regulator's possession by Sunei.

==== Disorder ====
{{Quote|Hey, you know what this feels like?" "Don't Say it..." "The blind leading the blind." "You had to go there, didn't you?|Mirado to Methyas while searching for Holocrons}}

(More to come)

=== Personal Effects ===
{{Quote|Don’t worry about the money. I don’t even have an account. I just make, borrow or steal what I need.|Mirado}}

[[File:AssassinObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's 'Work Clothes']]
[[File:BlizzardObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Formal Clothes']]
[[File:PeacekeeperObeliskCloak.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Day to Day Clothes']]
There's very little that Mirado can say he actually owns. A few sets of knives mostly, a couple of plain clothes outfits, a suit, and that's pretty well it. His statement to Fremoc however, is an outright lie. He has access to some of Olhel Noona's old accounts, the sum of which is quite considerable. He just cares almost nothing for money, and keeps these finances on hand in the event of an emergency.

Aside of these things, the only notable things he has attachment to are Shrike, his pet Hawkbat, which should never under any circumstances be considered trained, domesticated, or even docile. The creature is less an animal companion, and more of an ally with mutual goals. In addition, there is a droid he was recently given, TZ-63b, a Handicapped Assistance Droid, specifically built for the blind. It was a gift given to him by [[Kano Tor Pepoi|Kano]], and with it's origins and designation in mind, he's taken to calling it Tease.

Tease remains within his office on Gamuslag, which is appointed in a way which might make the term Spartan seem too lavish. The only real concession within is a top of the line holoplate projector, used for both computing (along with an Emboss keyboard), communication and entertainment.

[[File:Venator%27s_Razors.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Fighting weapons]]
[[File:Venator%27s_trench_knives.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's Heavy weapons]]
[[File:VensTacticalKnives.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Basic weapons]]
Mirado was granted limited access to a small machine shop while in Noona's employ, where he spent time shaping and honing his handmade knives into a pair of crescent shaped razors. These leather handled knives carry small lanyards of trinkets he's collected over the years. Recently, after receiving a gift from his master, the leather wrapping his razors are red dyed [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] tongues.

Later, during his time within the brotherhood, Mirado also fabricated another pair of knives, these a bit more utilitarian, to take advantage of his expanding knowledge of hand to hand combat. These blades were somewhat shorter, but carried an outer hand guard with wicked serrations. In addition, the handles of which also held a pair of sharpened throwing darts for surprise attacks and long range distraction. Recently, he's taken to keeping these darts poisoned, a departure of a previous attitude of rarely using the stuff. This comes from engagements in combat where, had he not kept poisoned weapons, he would have been killed by his enemies. These also carry red wrapped handles.

In addition to these paired weapons, Mirado also carries a basic vibroblade, which he has trained to use in concert with his lightsaber.

His lightsaber is a unique device, originally built from scraps within the Orian tombs as part of his Knight's trials. It contains pieces made from cast offs and scraps, but the important parts are inside the weapon. Made with a natural blue adegean and a diamond, it produces a slightly prismatic translucent blade, with less of the "white light" shaft in the center of the blade, and a blade of a slightly richer blue color, very close to an ultramarine shade. Following his trials, he replaced much of the 'garbage' components he had to make do with, and built something more in line with his personality, including leather wrappings and an animal tooth on the pommel.

In addition, there are certain features installed within that he keeps quiet about, for good reason. First and foremost, the switch on the hilt of the weapon only allows a small portion of power to flow through, effectively turning it into a training saber unless the real, internal switch is activated by way of the Force. This is a dual safety measure. For one, it prevents it from being used against him at full power, and also, should it be recovered on a battlefield, an ally is FAR less likely to kill themselves accidentally. In addition, beneath the red leather wrappings on the hilt is a grip lock, meaning it will immediately disignite if dropped.

This saber is also a departure from the norm for his use of the Makashi form, as it is a straight hilted weapon. This decision was founded on the theory that while curved hilted sabers are more common among Brotherhood members, it's still far more likely that, should he lose his lightsaber, it will be much more likely to recover a straight handled saber from the dead.
[[File:SavageSithBlue.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's first lightsaber]]

While he hates, loathes, and despises blasters, he does own one. It's a small [[starwars:Hold-out_blaster|Hold Out]], of the extremely high power variety, which only holds charge for a single shot. He carries this only when hunting another assassin, as a show of respect. He will give them the blaster to end their own life with, so that they can go out on their own terms and with their dignity. To date, this weapon has never been fired, and charged only once.

Mirado keeps a permanant residence on Gamuslag, though he stays there very infrequently, as he considers the planet filthy and uncomfortable. In addition, he has a permanent home in the Pepoi compound near [[Mucenic]]. It is one of the homes found in the Kashyyyk Arms housing community, but built into his family's homestead.

== DJB Facts ==
=== Non-Combat Skills ===
Mirado can be considered an expert in these Non-Combat skills

# Acrobatics and Gymnastics
# Stealth
# Survival
# Hunting and Tracking
# Sleight of Hand
# Simple Items Crafting (Basic knives, clothing, etc.)
# Poisons
# Dance
# (To be added when I figure out what I want here)

=== Unarmed Combat ===
[[K'thri]]: Mirado uses K'thri more of a mobility art than he does an actual combat art. By taking advantage of the movements that K'thri trains it's users in, Mirado can evade his opponent's attacks through unorthodox methods, leaving them open to being struck in undefended places.

[[Teras Kasi]]: This is Mirado's primary striking form. Utilizing the very linear form, Mirado is able to land devastating strikes against his opponent. This is made all the more dangerous as he uses K'thri movements, so his foes don't expect such straight line attacks.

=== Armed Combat ===
Aside of the lightsaber, Mirado utilizes a paired knife approach, and can be considered a master in the use of a short blade. Given his reckless nature, he has overcome the difficulty of most knife fighters, that being the fear of being cut. Because of this, and because of his reach, he can and will come at an opponent in both close range and at reach. Often he will use feinting techniques, but is also known to use his strength to push his opponent's own weapons away and land a simultaneous strike with both weapons.

=== Lightsaber Combat ===
Mirado has some experience with the [[Makashi]] form, and is skilled with [[Soresu]]. He has been studying considerably in regards to the [[Sokan]] form, to the point of working out his own take on it. He has combined his ambidexterity with his knowledge of K'thri to fight Lightsaber/Vibroblade in a very dynamic, movement oriented style. While this doesn't begin to compare to the real thing, it is, at least, a start, until he can locate training in both Ataru and Sokan itself.

=== Force Powers ===
Among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Mirado can be seen as something of a child in terms of his power within the Force. In fact, there are novices and apprentices who's abilities with the Force far outstrip his own. This hasn't stopped him, however, from getting creative with his use of the Force.

# Withdraw Force Signature: Not a power, and similar to a voluntary self Force suppression, this is a very common trick among the Jedi. By electing not to channel the Force, or live in constant contact with it, Mirado's Force signature is much more withdrawn than others. In addition, this limits his natural Miraluka 'Force Sight' to that of one of his species with no Force Training whatsoever, meaning he's fairly limited to basic shape and whether or not something is organic. Among members of the Brotherhood, Mirado maintains his connection (mostly because he expects treachery)

# Slow Fall: A trick used by many of his brethren, this is simply an application of telekinesis, used to arrest a fall. Simply, at the end of a fall, he Force pushes against the ground to telekinetically 'bounce' himself, cutting his downward velocity. So far, his courage in testing this ability has proven a 5 or 6 story building is a possible leap, but with some discomfort on impact. Given his reckless nature, however, he will likely be testing his limits and timing with this power for some time to come.

# Wall Run and Wall Spring: Enhance Ability applied to increase his balance, coordination, and speed, allows Mirado to temporarily defy gravity to a degree, taking advantage of surfaces that his opponents might not consider.

While Mirado does have an understanding of a decent suite of Force Powers, he tends towards more 'internal' powers, such as Enhance Ability, Force Jump, and Burst of Speed. The blessings of Sadow (Heart Stun and Force Blast) he tends to keep up his sleeve, using them only when they can be applied to devastating effect.

== Character Trivia ==
Because he is a Miraluka, Mirado cannot read print. If text is embossed or relieved, he can read that, but actual print is beyond his ability to perceive. The same goes for using a datapad or computer. Further, he is effectively colorblind, although energy which has a color (IE Lightsabers, Blaster Bolts, Opaque energy fields, and the like) is visible to him. In addition, Force Resistant or Force Dead creatures or people are almost invisible to him.

Mirado refuses to use blasters of any type, due to early childhood trauma. He's very uncomfortable around blaster fire because of this.

Also, he's not fond of armor, as he feels entirely too bound down by it.

While it's easy to write him off as feral, he DID spend time among other people while functioning as a bounty hunter. He is civilized, but he still prefers to be outdoors and away from crowds.

Owing to his time in the wild, Mirado's senses are well honed and he's very accustomed to relying on them. It's exceptionally difficult to surprise or sneak up on him.

Mirado isn't fond of speaking much, but he is willing to speak out and up when it must be done. He just isn't fond of small talk.

Vocally, Mirado is a baritone.

Women are a peculiar weakness of his. He's not lusty at all, but he never had the kind of availability of anyone to teach him how to handle being come onto. Because of this, he can become even more withdrawn than usual, and somewhat easy to confuse or misdirect.

Mirado has a habit of claiming scalps, but he only collects them from foes which have injured him or have otherwise impressed him. This is his only real claim to taking trophies, aside of lightsabers of those who he's defeated.

He has a lifelong goal of hunting and killing a [[starwars:Krayt_Dragon|Krayt Dragon]], using no technology in the hunt until it's time to transport the carcass of the beast.

He refuses to wear the traditional Miraluka eye-wraps. Mostly because he knows nothing at all of Miralukan tradition. The only time he actually cares to wrap his eyes is in the most formal of situations.

== OOC Trivia ==
Some of the influences I had in building this character's personality, mannerisms, and attitude are...

* Batman (His use of Martial arts, disuse of firearms, and stealthiness)
* Wolverine (the feral behavior, stealthiness, lack of social grace, and general lack of speaking much)
* Tarzan (again the feral behavior, and the way he moves, to a degree)
* Riddick (again the stealthiness, his use of knives, seeing differently, and his peculiar sense of humor and social mannerisms)
* Henchman 21 (his not recognizing that he's capable of standing on his own yet, even though he can certainly hold his own) See below.

I've taken to adding one Non-Combat skill per rank, just an experiment I'm working on.

Originally, he was meant to be named Predator, but I wasn't able to use that name, so I chose the Latin word for hunter, unwittingly naming him after a Star Destroyer, and I'm too stubborn to change it.

Up until about 10/31/2010, I was torn between Shien and Sokan as the form I would build Ven for. This was finally decided, on the day I made Knight, by flipping a quarter.

My character was knighted in 144 days... definitely nothing impressive, but I felt it necessary to list it here.

Before I joined, I poked around the wiki and saw a lot of Mandalorians and a lot of Japanese cultured names, so I decided to go more Native American with him. This might have had something to do with watching Avatar a week before I signed up.

The decision to avoid blasters is peculiar for me, as I'm a firearms enthusiast. I did this as something of an experiment to see if I could pull it off, and so far, I think I did alright.

I made a goal of earning a diamond crescent, and I received my notification of earning one by way of my smart phone, when I'd just woken up from a late shift at work. My excitement unnerved my wife and woke up my son. I still feel like a goober for that.

As I've developed the character, I ran into this "Henchman 21" kinda groove with him, where he's this capable fighter and all, but still sees himself as just another thug in somebody's employ. Props to whoever gets this reference.

== Unit History ==
=== The Birth of Clan Ordo ===
During the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], many fierce battles were fought across the Outer Rim. [[starwars:Mandalore|Mandalore]], home of the [[starwars:Mandalorians|Mandalorians]], was the central point for many of these conflicts. The attempted capture of Senator [[starwars:Padme Amidala|Padme Amidala]] in 19 BBY was perhaps the most devastating; [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Darth Sidious]] tasked the [[starwars:Mandalorian Protectors|Mandalorian Protectors]] under the command of Mandalore the Resurrector with capturing the Senator, but the Sith intended to double-cross them; when the Mandalorian Protectors landed, they were ambushed by [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], and the only survivors were Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and the Resurrector himself. The Protectors were slowly rebuilt thanks to the work of Fenn Shysa, but many never forgave Sidious for his betrayal, and split from Shysa’s group to form a separate Clan. They named themselves [[starwars:Clan Ordo|Clan Ordo]], a tribute to the original Clan Ordo, active during the [[starwars:Jedi Civil War|Jedi Civil War]] of 3959-3956 BBY.

=== Abandoning the Fett ===
In 23 ABY, the Mandalorian named [[starwars:Boba Fett|Boba Fett]] became Mand’alore, replacing Fenn Shysa and ascending to the leadership of the Mandalorian Protectors. Under Fett’s leadership, the Mandalorian Protectors played a key part in the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong War]]- first fighting for the Vong, then switching sides after the Vong attacked Mandalore. However, despite the reputation that Fett commanded across the galaxy, some Protectors were unhappy with the machinations of their leader and his lack of leadership. A group of these Protectors, angry at Fett’s willingness to maintain relations with [[starwars:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker’s]] [[starwars:New Jedi Order|New Jedi Order]], splintered away from Fett’s Protectors and joined Clan Ordo, bolstering the ranks of the outcast Clan.

=== Growth and Development ===
A true Mandalorian is any creature, regardless of species, who can follow the [[starwars:Resol'nare|Resol'nare]]. With that in mind, Clan Ordo welcomed many representatives from other species provided they could prove themselves worthy of the name Mandalorian. Squads were assembled not by species or by blood-bonds but by technical aptitude and combat effectiveness, leading to the creation of such notable squads as Shuk'orok and the Orar Kom’rk. Beside these warriors stood [TEAM TITLE HERE!]

The de-facto leader of (team title here) due to his commanding presence and ferocious melee combat skills, Taakur is a fearsome warrior. Brought up on a prison colony, his youth was hard and brutal, with the [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] forced to fight for every scrap of food and to establish his place in the hierarchy. The result was to breed in him a ferocious warrior instinct and a deep, burning anger for his captors. However, a way out of his harsh life came from an unexpected source- Mandalorian mercenaries from Clan Ordo, who attacked the colony in order to free one of their brothers, held within. The young Trandoshan took advantage of the confusion to escape and stole onto the Mandalorian ship.

He was soon found, but the Mandalorians were amused by the young Trandoshan and offered to drop him off at the nearest habitable planet. Encouraged by the first signs of compassion that he'd received since birth, he quickly tried to make himself useful to the Mandalorians, seeking to learn their language and customs and begging them to let him stay on the ship. Over time, the Mandalorians came to see him as one of their own, and the Trandoshan was granted a full suit of armour and formally recognised as a Mandalorian of Clan Ordo, taking the name Taakur.

Taakur's fierce fighting instinct served him well, and he was soon assigned to (team title here) under the command of a Mandalorian named Hren Vau. During a routine mission following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the squad were ambushed by a remnant faction of Vong and Hren Vau was killed. Taakur took charge of the unit and led them out of the ambush- for his success, the rest of the squad marked him as their leader.

Sorlatte, unlike most Combat Medics, is not a man trained in first aid. He was at one point a fully licensed trauma surgeon from Corellia, but that was another lifetime ago. (more soon)

=== Galt Harlan, Team Engineer ===
{{Quote|I'm only half as old as I used to be.|Galt Harlan}}

[[Image:GaltHarlan.jpg|thumb|right|Galt Harlan's extensive cybernetic reconstruction]]Practically a piece of equipment himself, Galt Harlan serves as the squad's resident engineer and mechanic. Galt rarely talks about his past, and while he refuses to give his age, he often jokes that at least he's only half as old as he used to be, in reference to his extensive reconstructive surgery. Something of an old fashioned womaniser, some members of the team have speculated whether he lost the right half of his body during a row with an ex-wife, however Galt has refused to comment.

His past aside, Galt is devoted to his Mandalorian brothers, who he now regards as his family for unintentionally helping him out after he got into an argument with the port authorities on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. The local [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] official, Blozog the Magnificent, had accused Galt of certain indiscretions with one of his [[starwars:Bothan|Bothan]] dancers, but fortunately for Galt, Taakur, the [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] who was to become his squad leader, was on a assassination job to take out Blozog for a rival official.

On the battlefield, Galt is the man - or some would argue droid - with the Big Karking Gun. While the rest of the squad are setting up a perimeter or going after the small targets, Galt is the one keeping back and setting up the manned artillery. Never short of a spanner or a screwdriver, if he's not on his back underneath something trying to get it running again, then he's on his feet, bludgeoning someone to death with his socket wrench. While not a pilot himself, Galt is the shipmaster who's more at home down in the engineering deck, and if he's not working on himself to improve his own body functions, then he's trying to find a way to overclock the ship's hyperdrive and beat his own time on the [[starwars:Sisar_Run|Sisar Run]].

Mirado: /* Featured article nominations */

The '''featured articles''' of the wiki are articles that represent the best [[DJBWiki]] has to offer. This is ''not'' a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

* [[Featured article/History|History]]
* [[DJBWiki:Featured article/Queue|Queue]]
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

# Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
# The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
# Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

<big>''How to vote:''</big>

# Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.

{{Quote|If you’re not risking your life, you’re not living it.|Mirado}}

== Character History ==
=== Early life ===
'''Venator''' was born Mirado Lhaan on Chandrila, just a simple little boy being raised by refugee parents. He, due to his species, had to hide, and spent almost his entire life indoors and around his parents.

This was all he knew. The truth was, however, much stranger than the fiction.

His name was the only real thing he knew about his life. He was born Mirado Pepoi to Lucien Fey and Fayth Pepoi, on Coruscant. As an infant, during the 4th Battle of Coruscant, Fayth was forced to make the worst decision asked of a mother, and handed her youngest son over to fellow Miralukan refugees Mart and Veila Lhaan, in an effort to preserve as much of her family as possible. This Miralukan couple had sold everything to make the money to get themselves off the planet.

Shortly afterwards, Lucien and Fayth hid their other son [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] away, and died trying to protect themselves and others.

That is the history that took over 20 years for Mirado to learn.

==== Trip to Dantooine ====
At the age of 5, well into the swing of the building of the New Republic, his father had gotten work and could live outside of the sage house. At work in the used speeder lot, Mart Lhaan called into the broadcast station to ask that his wife's favorite song be played. He hadn't heard the cue previously aired, and wound up winning a contest to visit one of the planetary preserve parks.

While on one of the hiking trips, the entire expedition was attacked by a large group of mercenary raiders. Mirado was the only survivor, and has no clue as to why it happened. He was entirely too busy running and hiding.

==== The Crystal Caves ====
[[File:Crystal_caves.jpg|thumb|155px|left|The Crystal Caves of Dantooine]]
While on the run, Mirado happened upon the crystal caves, and wandered in. While hiding out there, he encountered the Force Spirit of his grandfather, a Jedi Knight who was killed during the [[starwars:Battle_of_Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]]. He explained to Mirado that because of the resonant energy of the Force and his familial connection with his grandson, he could appear and communicate with the young boy.

==== Living as a wild child ====
With his grandfather's tutelage and whatever scraps and salvage he could find, Mirado spent several years learning all about the natural world around him, and occasionally killing and eating it as well. If it weren't for the occasional visits by the Force Spirit, Mirado would have likely gone completely insane and totally feral, but these visits helped keep him grounded and aware. In addition to keeping him company, Mirado's grandfather also helped to maintain his education, and spent considerable time training the young boy in the ways of the Force. These lessons would serve to help the boy in his quest to survive.

=== Teenage Years ===
==== Hunting a more dangerous prey ====
Around 25 ABY, Mirado was out hunting for his dinner, and had spent considerable time stalking a small pack of [[starwars:Kath_hound|Kath Hounds]]. While he waited, a group of speeders swept in and began lighting up the area with blaster rifles. Startled, and extremely hungry, he waited just long enough for them to stop shooting before attacking.

He managed to kill four of them before he was blindsided with a [[starwars:Stokhli_spray_stick|Stokhli Spray Stick]]. When he came to, he was sitting manacled to a chair in the cargo hold of a ship. It was several hours of beating before he was even addressed, and when he finally was, it was made clear to him that he'd assaulted the personal retinue of the Devaronian gangster Olhel Noona. It was only because he'd killed four blaster armed people using sharp scraps of speeder wreckage in such a short time that he was going to be kept alive.

To repay their mercy, he would become their own personal bounty hunter.

==== Gearing up ====
The first chance that was gotten, Olhel took Venator (an ancient word for Hunter, and far more intimidating if you asked Olhel) to a back alley cybersurgeon and had cosmetic eye implants lodged into the 15 year old boy's skull. The fortunate and beneficial thing was that without connecting them to Mirado's brain and nervous system Olhel would save a considerable percentage from the cost of surgery, and Mirado would keep his natural Force Sight ability.

As part of a cultivated image, Mirado's back, arms, legs, and some of his chest carry a spiderlike tribal tattoo. This is not something he agreed to however. He wears most often a sleeveless vest with metal hook and eye closures, very wide legged pants which he keeps tucked into his 3/4 knee length combat boots, and a blackened nexu hide coat, this also sleeveless and carrying hook and eye closures.

=== Early Adulthood to Present ===
[[File:Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart big.png|thumb|250px|left|Mirado, the Hunter of Sadow]]
Mirado spent a considerable amount of time serving as a [[starwars:Bounty_Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] for the Olhel Noona gang. During this time he collected several bounties for the crime lord, which amounted to several scalps for his collection as Olhel rarely bothered with keeping live prisoners.

One very unique hunt was for the live capture and return of one Zeltron woman named [[Masika]]. She'd managed to con over half a million credits from the Noona crime family, and had gone on the run. Mirado tracked her to Corellia, but when he finally caught up to her, the Noona gang had already been killed. During the attempt to capture her, however, Mirado nearly choked her to death, permanently damaging her vocal cords, turning her from a Soprano to an Alto.

Mirado left Olhel's employ rather abruptly, to say the least. Acting on the orders of [[Trevarus Caerick|Trev]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Sai]] traveled to Noona's hideout at the time on [[starwars:ession|Ession]] and killed the entirety of the gang, save for Mirado who was on assignment to retrieve Masika on Corellia. As far as the galaxy knew, or cared for that matter, Olhel Noona was dead.

Mirado returned to Ession, only to discover a hooded man waiting on him. Expecting he was next to be killed, Mirado decided not to go without a fight, succeeding in scoring only a small cut on the man who would later be his Quaestor and Consul, before he was knocked very handily upside the head with the Rod of Correction. It wasn't until much later that Mirado awoke on Tarthos, and discovered just exactly where he'd been taken. As of the moment, Mirado is still unaware that Sai was responsible for bringing him into the fold, or that Trev gave the order to make it happen.

=== Unrest in the City ===
==== Seeking Deliverance ====
Mirado wasn't originally deployed to the conflict with [[Deliverance]], but when things turned south, he was sent out to assist his clanmates. As he geared up for this conflict, he was asked to deliver a package to [[Fremoc Pepoi|Fremoc]]. To this day, he has no idea where it came from originally, or what good it did, but he did as asked and delivered it before engaging Deliverance with the rest of his clanmates.

==== The Ekind Uprising ====
Later, during the assault on [[Mucenic]] he was tasked with guiding his soon to be Master [[Macron]] to the command center from his landing zone, and to move with the Night Hawks to make a push to put their Ekind and Vongspawned armies into artillery range.

Following the battle of Mucenic, Mirado was tasked with entering [[Markosian City]] alone as a forward scout for the rest of the Clan. While there, he found a few other Clanmates, including one [[Roxas Buurenaar|Roxas]] who'd taken a serious beating at the hands of an unknown assailant. Mirado drug Roxas to the resistance for treatment, inadvertently giving the armed citizens the leader they needed.

Also during the battle of Markosian City, Mirado made something of an alliance with a [[starwars:Hawk-bat|Hawkbat]] from the local zoo when he released all of the Zoo's inhabitants to assist with the battle. He's named the creature Shrike and is training it, though he refuses to use it as anything more than a hunting companion.

==== In the Interim ====
After the battle of Markosian city, Fremoc requested Mirado remain an ace in the hole in the event that his friends were overwhelmed in the line of duty protecting his family. During this time, his hide was noticed by Kano, and some time afterwards, wound up finding the man after the events of a voodoo ritual he'd performed. Both of these things remained secrets between the two of them. Also during this time, Mirado was appointed the Prefect of [[Gamuslag]], earning him the Rank and Title of D:SOG commander, and thus putting him on Gamuslag on a more permanent basis.

{{Quote|Where's the part where you kill the guy?|Mirado}}

After the assault, Mirado spent some time training under Methyas in the lightsaber form [[starwars:soresu|Soresu]], to compliment his limited mastery of the [[starwars:makashi|Makashi]] form. In exchange, he taught Methyas how to withdraw more fully his 'Fountain of the Force' technique by way of Teras Kasi meditation techniques, which permitted the elder Miraluka to see far more clearly than he had before, up to being able to visually see the Emboss letters used for visually impaired accessibility. In addition, he is also helping Methyas learn to read.

==== A House Divided ====
Following assignment to command the Raptor team of the Regulators, Mirado and the rest of the Battleteam were assigned to support Macron and his retinue in killing Curwen Sunei. En route, their orders were countered by the newly appointed Fist of the Brotherhood, Fremoc Pepoi. Sunei came peacefully, but performed some warlockery while being brought to the Temple of Fire, leaving the team incapacitated.

Following some misadventure that involved some beatings being taken and dished out, the Regulators made their assault on Curwen Sueni, and were quickly joined by Macron Sadow and his retinue. The final result was, Sunei was dead, but, so was Kano, at Fremoc's hand, following the Regulator's possession by Sunei.

==== Disorder ====
{{Quote|Hey, you know what this feels like?" "Don't Say it..." "The blind leading the blind." "You had to go there, didn't you?|Mirado to Methyas while searching for Holocrons}}

(More to come)

=== Personal Effects ===
{{Quote|Don’t worry about the money. I don’t even have an account. I just make, borrow or steal what I need.|Mirado}}

[[File:AssassinObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's 'Work Clothes']]
[[File:BlizzardObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Formal Clothes']]
[[File:PeacekeeperObeliskCloak.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Day to Day Clothes']]
There's very little that Mirado can say he actually owns. A few sets of knives mostly, a couple of plain clothes outfits, a suit, and that's pretty well it. His statement to Fremoc however, is an outright lie. He has access to some of Olhel Noona's old accounts, the sum of which is quite considerable. He just cares almost nothing for money, and keeps these finances on hand in the event of an emergency.

Aside of these things, the only notable things he has attachment to are Shrike, his pet Hawkbat, which should never under any circumstances be considered trained, domesticated, or even docile. The creature is less an animal companion, and more of an ally with mutual goals. In addition, there is a droid he was recently given, TZ-63b, a Handicapped Assistance Droid, specifically built for the blind. It was a gift given to him by [[Kano Tor Pepoi|Kano]], and with it's origins and designation in mind, he's taken to calling it Tease.

Tease remains within his office on Gamuslag, which is appointed in a way which might make the term Spartan seem too lavish. The only real concession within is a top of the line holoplate projector, used for both computing (along with an Emboss keyboard), communication and entertainment.

[[File:Venator%27s_Razors.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Fighting weapons]]
[[File:Venator%27s_trench_knives.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's Heavy weapons]]
[[File:VensTacticalKnives.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Basic weapons]]
Mirado was granted limited access to a small machine shop while in Noona's employ, where he spent time shaping and honing his handmade knives into a pair of crescent shaped razors. These leather handled knives carry small lanyards of trinkets he's collected over the years. Recently, after receiving a gift from his master, the leather wrapping his razors are red dyed [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] tongues.

Later, during his time within the brotherhood, Mirado also fabricated another pair of knives, these a bit more utilitarian, to take advantage of his expanding knowledge of hand to hand combat. These blades were somewhat shorter, but carried an outer hand guard with wicked serrations. In addition, the handles of which also held a pair of sharpened throwing darts for surprise attacks and long range distraction. Recently, he's taken to keeping these darts poisoned, a departure of a previous attitude of rarely using the stuff. This comes from engagements in combat where, had he not kept poisoned weapons, he would have been killed by his enemies. These also carry red wrapped handles.

In addition to these paired weapons, Mirado also carries a basic vibroblade, which he has trained to use in concert with his lightsaber.

His lightsaber is a unique device, originally built from scraps within the Orian tombs as part of his Knight's trials. It contains pieces made from cast offs and scraps, but the important parts are inside the weapon. Made with a natural blue adegean and a diamond, it produces a slightly prismatic translucent blade, with less of the "white light" shaft in the center of the blade, and a blade of a slightly richer blue color, very close to an ultramarine shade. Following his trials, he replaced much of the 'garbage' components he had to make do with, and built something more in line with his personality, including leather wrappings and an animal tooth on the pommel.

In addition, there are certain features installed within that he keeps quiet about, for good reason. First and foremost, the switch on the hilt of the weapon only allows a small portion of power to flow through, effectively turning it into a training saber unless the real, internal switch is activated by way of the Force. This is a dual safety measure. For one, it prevents it from being used against him at full power, and also, should it be recovered on a battlefield, an ally is FAR less likely to kill themselves accidentally. In addition, beneath the red leather wrappings on the hilt is a grip lock, meaning it will immediately disignite if dropped.

This saber is also a departure from the norm for his use of the Makashi form, as it is a straight hilted weapon. This decision was founded on the theory that while curved hilted sabers are more common among Brotherhood members, it's still far more likely that, should he lose his lightsaber, it will be much more likely to recover a straight handled saber from the dead.
[[File:SavageSithBlue.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's first lightsaber]]

While he hates, loathes, and despises blasters, he does own one. It's a small [[starwars:Hold-out_blaster|Hold Out]], of the extremely high power variety, which only holds charge for a single shot. He carries this only when hunting another assassin, as a show of respect. He will give them the blaster to end their own life with, so that they can go out on their own terms and with their dignity. To date, this weapon has never been fired, and charged only once.

Mirado keeps a permanant residence on Gamuslag, though he stays there very infrequently, as he considers the planet filthy and uncomfortable. In addition, he has a permanent home in the Pepoi compound near [[Mucenic]]. It is one of the homes found in the Kashyyyk Arms housing community, but built into his family's homestead.

== DJB Facts ==

Mirado can be considered an expert in these Non-Combat skills

# Survival
# Hunting and Tracking
# Sleight of Hand
# Simple Items Crafting (Basic knives, clothing, etc.)
# Poisons

# (To be added when I figure out what I want here)

=== Unarmed Combat ===
[[K'thri]]: Mirado uses K'thri more of a mobility art than he does an actual combat art. By taking advantage of the movements that K'thri trains it's users in, Mirado can evade his opponent's attacks through unorthodox methods, leaving them open to being struck in undefended places.

[[Teras Kasi]]: This is Mirado's primary striking form. Utilizing the very linear form, Mirado is able to land devastating strikes against his opponent. This is made all the more dangerous as he uses K'thri movements, so his foes don't expect such straight line attacks.

=== Armed Combat ===
Aside of the lightsaber, Mirado utilizes a paired knife approach, and can be considered a master in the use of a short blade. Given his reckless nature, he has overcome the difficulty of most knife fighters, that being the fear of being cut. Because of this, and because of his reach, he can and will come at an opponent in both close range and at reach. Often he will use feinting techniques, but is also known to use his strength to push his opponent's own weapons away and land a simultaneous strike with both weapons.

=== Lightsaber Combat ===
Mirado has some experience with the [[Makashi]] form, and is skilled with [[Soresu]]. He has been studying considerably in regards to the [[Sokan]] form, to the point of working out his own take on it. He has combined his ambidexterity with his knowledge of K'thri to fight Lightsaber/Vibroblade in a very dynamic, movement oriented style. While this doesn't begin to compare to the real thing, it is, at least, a start, until he can locate training in both Ataru and Sokan itself.

=== Force Powers ===
Among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Mirado can be seen as something of a child in terms of his power within the Force. In fact, there are novices and apprentices who's abilities with the Force far outstrip his own. This hasn't stopped him, however, from getting creative with his use of the Force.

# Withdraw Force Signature: Not a power, and similar to a voluntary self Force suppression, this is a very common trick among the Jedi. By electing not to channel the Force, or live in constant contact with it, Mirado's Force signature is much more withdrawn than others. In addition, this limits his natural Miraluka 'Force Sight' to that of one of his species with no Force Training whatsoever, meaning he's fairly limited to basic shape and whether or not something is organic. Among members of the Brotherhood, Mirado maintains his connection (mostly because he expects treachery)

# Slow Fall: A trick used by many of his brethren, this is simply an application of telekinesis, used to arrest a fall. Simply, at the end of a fall, he Force pushes against the ground to telekinetically 'bounce' himself, cutting his downward velocity. So far, his courage in testing this ability has proven a 5 or 6 story building is a possible leap, but with some discomfort on impact. Given his reckless nature, however, he will likely be testing his limits and timing with this power for some time to come.

# Wall Run and Wall Spring: Enhance Ability applied to increase his balance, coordination, and speed, allows Mirado to temporarily defy gravity to a degree, taking advantage of surfaces that his opponents might not consider.

While Mirado does have an understanding of a decent suite of Force Powers, he tends towards more 'internal' powers, such as Enhance Ability, Force Jump, and Burst of Speed. The blessings of Sadow (Heart Stun and Force Blast) he tends to keep up his sleeve, using them only when they can be applied to devastating effect.

== Character Trivia ==
Because he is a Miraluka, Mirado cannot read print. If text is embossed or relieved, he can read that, but actual print is beyond his ability to perceive. The same goes for using a datapad or computer. Further, he is effectively colorblind, although energy which has a color (IE Lightsabers, Blaster Bolts, Opaque energy fields, and the like) is visible to him. In addition, Force Resistant or Force Dead creatures or people are almost invisible to him.

Mirado refuses to use blasters of any type, due to early childhood trauma. He's very uncomfortable around blaster fire because of this.

Also, he's not fond of armor, as he feels entirely too bound down by it.

While it's easy to write him off as feral, he DID spend time among other people while functioning as a bounty hunter. He is civilized, but he still prefers to be outdoors and away from crowds.

Owing to his time in the wild, Mirado's senses are well honed and he's very accustomed to relying on them. It's exceptionally difficult to surprise or sneak up on him.

Mirado isn't fond of speaking much, but he is willing to speak out and up when it must be done. He just isn't fond of small talk.

Vocally, Mirado is a baritone.

Women are a peculiar weakness of his. He's not lusty at all, but he never had the kind of availability of anyone to teach him how to handle being come onto. Because of this, he can become even more withdrawn than usual, and somewhat easy to confuse or misdirect.

Mirado has a habit of claiming scalps, but he only collects them from foes which have injured him or have otherwise impressed him. This is his only real claim to taking trophies, aside of lightsabers of those who he's defeated.

He has a lifelong goal of hunting and killing a [[starwars:Krayt_Dragon|Krayt Dragon]], using no technology in the hunt until it's time to transport the carcass of the beast.

He refuses to wear the traditional Miraluka eye-wraps. Mostly because he knows nothing at all of Miralukan tradition. The only time he actually cares to wrap his eyes is in the most formal of situations.

== OOC Trivia ==
Some of the influences I had in building this character's personality, mannerisms, and attitude are...

* Batman (His use of Martial arts, disuse of firearms, and stealthiness)
* Wolverine (the feral behavior, stealthiness, lack of social grace, and general lack of speaking much)
* Tarzan (again the feral behavior, and the way he moves, to a degree)
* Riddick (again the stealthiness, his use of knives, seeing differently, and his peculiar sense of humor and social mannerisms)
* Henchman 21 (his not recognizing that he's capable of standing on his own yet, even though he can certainly hold his own) See below.

I've taken to adding one Non-Combat skill per rank, just an experiment I'm working on.

Originally, he was meant to be named Predator, but I wasn't able to use that name, so I chose the Latin word for hunter, unwittingly naming him after a Star Destroyer, and I'm too stubborn to change it.

Up until about 10/31/2010, I was torn between Shien and Sokan as the form I would build Ven for. This was finally decided, on the day I made Knight, by flipping a quarter.

My character was knighted in 144 days... definitely nothing impressive, but I felt it necessary to list it here.

Before I joined, I poked around the wiki and saw a lot of Mandalorians and a lot of Japanese cultured names, so I decided to go more Native American with him. This might have had something to do with watching Avatar a week before I signed up.

The decision to avoid blasters is peculiar for me, as I'm a firearms enthusiast. I did this as something of an experiment to see if I could pull it off, and so far, I think I did alright.

I made a goal of earning a diamond crescent, and I received my notification of earning one by way of my smart phone, when I'd just woken up from a late shift at work. My excitement unnerved my wife and woke up my son. I still feel like a goober for that.

As I've developed the character, I ran into this "Henchman 21" kinda groove with him, where he's this capable fighter and all, but still sees himself as just another thug in somebody's employ. Props to whoever gets this reference.

{{Quote|If you’re not risking your life, you’re not living it.|Mirado}}

== Character History ==
=== Early life ===
'''Venator''' was born Mirado Lhaan on Chandrila, just a simple little boy being raised by refugee parents. He, due to his species, had to hide, and spent almost his entire life indoors and around his parents.

This was all he knew. The truth was, however, much stranger than the fiction.

His name was the only real thing he knew about his life. He was born Mirado Pepoi to Lucien Fey and Fayth Pepoi, on Coruscant. As an infant, during the 4th Battle of Coruscant, Fayth was forced to make the worst decision asked of a mother, and handed her youngest son over to fellow Miralukan refugees Mart and Veila Lhaan, in an effort to preserve as much of her family as possible. This Miralukan couple had sold everything to make the money to get themselves off the planet.

Shortly afterwards, Lucien and Fayth hid their other son [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] away, and died trying to protect themselves and others.

That is the history that took over 20 years for Mirado to learn.

==== Trip to Dantooine ====
At the age of 5, well into the swing of the building of the New Republic, his father had gotten work and could live outside of the sage house. At work in the used speeder lot, Mart Lhaan called into the broadcast station to ask that his wife's favorite song be played. He hadn't heard the cue previously aired, and wound up winning a contest to visit one of the planetary preserve parks.

While on one of the hiking trips, the entire expedition was attacked by a large group of mercenary raiders. Mirado was the only survivor, and has no clue as to why it happened. He was entirely too busy running and hiding.

==== The Crystal Caves ====
[[File:Crystal_caves.jpg|thumb|155px|left|The Crystal Caves of Dantooine]]
While on the run, Mirado happened upon the crystal caves, and wandered in. While hiding out there, he encountered the Force Spirit of his grandfather, a Jedi Knight who was killed during the [[starwars:Battle_of_Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]]. He explained to Mirado that because of the resonant energy of the Force and his familial connection with his grandson, he could appear and communicate with the young boy.

==== Living as a wild child ====
With his grandfather's tutelage and whatever scraps and salvage he could find, Mirado spent several years learning all about the natural world around him, and occasionally killing and eating it as well. If it weren't for the occasional visits by the Force Spirit, Mirado would have likely gone completely insane and totally feral, but these visits helped keep him grounded and aware. In addition to keeping him company, Mirado's grandfather also helped to maintain his education, and spent considerable time training the young boy in the ways of the Force. These lessons would serve to help the boy in his quest to survive.

=== Teenage Years ===
==== Hunting a more dangerous prey ====
Around 25 ABY, Mirado was out hunting for his dinner, and had spent considerable time stalking a small pack of [[starwars:Kath_hound|Kath Hounds]]. While he waited, a group of speeders swept in and began lighting up the area with blaster rifles. Startled, and extremely hungry, he waited just long enough for them to stop shooting before attacking.

He managed to kill four of them before he was blindsided with a [[starwars:Stokhli_spray_stick|Stokhli Spray Stick]]. When he came to, he was sitting manacled to a chair in the cargo hold of a ship. It was several hours of beating before he was even addressed, and when he finally was, it was made clear to him that he'd assaulted the personal retinue of the Devaronian gangster Olhel Noona. It was only because he'd killed four blaster armed people using sharp scraps of speeder wreckage in such a short time that he was going to be kept alive.

To repay their mercy, he would become their own personal bounty hunter.

==== Gearing up ====
The first chance that was gotten, Olhel took Venator (an ancient word for Hunter, and far more intimidating if you asked Olhel) to a back alley cybersurgeon and had cosmetic eye implants lodged into the 15 year old boy's skull. The fortunate and beneficial thing was that without connecting them to Mirado's brain and nervous system Olhel would save a considerable percentage from the cost of surgery, and Mirado would keep his natural Force Sight ability.

As part of a cultivated image, Mirado's back, arms, legs, and some of his chest carry a spiderlike tribal tattoo. This is not something he agreed to however. He wears most often a sleeveless vest with metal hook and eye closures, very wide legged pants which he keeps tucked into his 3/4 knee length combat boots, and a blackened nexu hide coat, this also sleeveless and carrying hook and eye closures.

=== Early Adulthood to Present ===
Mirado spent a considerable amount of time serving as a [[starwars:Bounty_Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] for the Olhel Noona gang. During this time he collected several bounties for the crime lord, which amounted to several scalps for his collection as Olhel rarely bothered with keeping live prisoners.

One very unique hunt was for the live capture and return of one Zeltron woman named [[Masika]]. She'd managed to con over half a million credits from the Noona crime family, and had gone on the run. Mirado tracked her to Corellia, but when he finally caught up to her, the Noona gang had already been killed. During the attempt to capture her, however, Mirado nearly choked her to death, permanently damaging her vocal cords, turning her from a Soprano to an Alto.

Mirado left Olhel's employ rather abruptly, to say the least. Acting on the orders of [[Trevarus Caerick|Trev]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Sai]] traveled to Noona's hideout at the time on [[starwars:ession|Ession]] and killed the entirety of the gang, save for Mirado who was on assignment to retrieve Masika on Corellia. As far as the galaxy knew, or cared for that matter, Olhel Noona was dead.

Mirado returned to Ession, only to discover a hooded man waiting on him. Expecting he was next to be killed, Mirado decided not to go without a fight, succeeding in scoring only a small cut on the man who would later be his Quaestor and Consul, before he was knocked very handily upside the head with the Rod of Correction. It wasn't until much later that Mirado awoke on Tarthos, and discovered just exactly where he'd been taken. As of the moment, Mirado is still unaware that Sai was responsible for bringing him into the fold, or that Trev gave the order to make it happen.

=== Unrest in the City ===
==== Seeking Deliverance ====
Mirado wasn't originally deployed to the conflict with [[Deliverance]], but when things turned south, he was sent out to assist his clanmates. As he geared up for this conflict, he was asked to deliver a package to [[Fremoc Pepoi|Fremoc]]. To this day, he has no idea where it came from originally, or what good it did, but he did as asked and delivered it before engaging Deliverance with the rest of his clanmates.

==== The Ekind Uprising ====
Later, during the assault on [[Mucenic]] he was tasked with guiding his soon to be Master [[Macron]] to the command center from his landing zone, and to move with the Night Hawks to make a push to put their Ekind and Vongspawned armies into artillery range.

Following the battle of Mucenic, Mirado was tasked with entering [[Markosian City]] alone as a forward scout for the rest of the Clan. While there, he found a few other Clanmates, including one [[Roxas Buurenaar|Roxas]] who'd taken a serious beating at the hands of an unknown assailant. Mirado drug Roxas to the resistance for treatment, inadvertently giving the armed citizens the leader they needed.

Also during the battle of Markosian City, Mirado made something of an alliance with a [[starwars:Hawk-bat|Hawkbat]] from the local zoo when he released all of the Zoo's inhabitants to assist with the battle. He's named the creature Shrike and is training it, though he refuses to use it as anything more than a hunting companion.

==== In the Interim ====
After the battle of Markosian city, Fremoc requested Mirado remain an ace in the hole in the event that his friends were overwhelmed in the line of duty protecting his family. During this time, his hide was noticed by Kano, and some time afterwards, wound up finding the man after the events of a voodoo ritual he'd performed. Both of these things remained secrets between the two of them. Also during this time, Mirado was appointed the Prefect of [[Gamuslag]], earning him the Rank and Title of D:SOG commander, and thus putting him on Gamuslag on a more permanent basis.

===== Learning a Lightsaber can be useful, Pt 1. Makashi =====
Coming soon!

===== Learning a Lightsaber can be useful, Pt 2. Soresu =====
{{Quote|Where's the part where you kill the guy?|Mirado}}

After the assault, Mirado spent some time training under Methyas in the lightsaber form [[starwars:soresu|Soresu]], to compliment his limited mastery of the [[starwars:makashi|Makashi]] form. In exchange, he taught Methyas how to withdraw more fully his 'Fountain of the Force' technique by way of Teras Kasi meditation techniques, which permitted the elder Miraluka to see far more clearly than he had before, up to being able to visually see the Emboss letters used for visually impaired accessibility. In addition, he is also helping Methyas learn to read.

==== A House Divided ====
Following assignment to command the Raptor team of the Regulators, Mirado and the rest of the Battleteam were assigned to support Macron and his retinue in killing Curwen Sunei. En route, their orders were countered by the newly appointed Fist of the Brotherhood, Fremoc Pepoi. Sunei came peacefully, but performed some warlockery while being brought to the Temple of Fire, leaving the team incapacitated.

Following some misadventure that involved some beatings being taken and dished out, the Regulators made their assault on Curwen Sueni, and were quickly joined by Macron Sadow and his retinue. The final result was, Sunei was dead, but, so was Kano, at Fremoc's hand, following the Regulator's possession by Sunei.

==== Disorder ====
{{Quote|Hey, you know what this feels like?" "Don't Say it..." "The blind leading the blind." "You had to go there, didn't you?|Mirado to Methyas while searching for Holocrons}}

(More to come)

=== Personal Effects ===
{{Quote|Don’t worry about the money. I don’t even have an account. I just make, borrow or steal what I need.|Mirado}}

[[File:AssassinObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's 'Work Clothes']]
[[File:BlizzardObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Formal Clothes']]
[[File:PeacekeeperObeliskCloak.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Day to Day Clothes']]
There's very little that Mirado can say he actually owns. A few sets of knives mostly, a couple of plain clothes outfits, a suit, and that's pretty well it. His statement to Fremoc however, is an outright lie. He has access to some of Olhel Noona's old accounts, the sum of which is quite considerable. He just cares almost nothing for money, and keeps these finances on hand in the event of an emergency.

Aside of these things, the only notable things he has attachment to are Shrike, his pet Hawkbat, which should never under any circumstances be considered trained, domesticated, or even docile. The creature is less an animal companion, and more of an ally with mutual goals. In addition, there is a droid he was recently given, TZ-63b, a Handicapped Assistance Droid, specifically built for the blind. It was a gift given to him by [[Kano Tor Pepoi|Kano]], and with it's origins and designation in mind, he's taken to calling it Tease.

Tease remains within his office on Gamuslag, which is appointed in a way which might make the term Spartan seem too lavish. The only real concession within is a top of the line holoplate projector, used for both computing (along with an Emboss keyboard), communication and entertainment.

[[File:Venator%27s_Razors.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Fighting weapons]]
[[File:Venator%27s_trench_knives.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's Heavy weapons]]
[[File:VensTacticalKnives.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Basic weapons]]
Mirado was granted limited access to a small machine shop while in Noona's employ, where he spent time shaping and honing his handmade knives into a pair of crescent shaped razors. These leather handled knives carry small lanyards of trinkets he's collected over the years. Recently, after receiving a gift from his master, the leather wrapping his razors are red dyed [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] tongues.

Later, during his time within the brotherhood, Mirado also fabricated another pair of knives, these a bit more utilitarian, to take advantage of his expanding knowledge of hand to hand combat. These blades were somewhat shorter, but carried an outer hand guard with wicked serrations. In addition, the handles of which also held a pair of sharpened throwing darts for surprise attacks and long range distraction. Recently, he's taken to keeping these darts poisoned, a departure of a previous attitude of rarely using the stuff. This comes from engagements in combat where, had he not kept poisoned weapons, he would have been killed by his enemies. These also carry red wrapped handles.

In addition to these paired weapons, Mirado also carries a basic vibroblade, which he has trained to use in concert with his lightsaber.

His lightsaber is a unique device, originally built from scraps within the Orian tombs as part of his Knight's trials. It contains pieces made from cast offs and scraps, but the important parts are inside the weapon. Made with a natural blue adegean and a diamond, it produces a slightly prismatic translucent blade, with less of the "white light" shaft in the center of the blade, and a blade of a slightly richer blue color, very close to an ultramarine shade. Following his trials, he replaced much of the 'garbage' components he had to make do with, and built something more in line with his personality, including leather wrappings and an animal tooth on the pommel.

In addition, there are certain features installed within that he keeps quiet about, for good reason. First and foremost, the switch on the hilt of the weapon only allows a small portion of power to flow through, effectively turning it into a training saber unless the real, internal switch is activated by way of the Force. This is a dual safety measure. For one, it prevents it from being used against him at full power, and also, should it be recovered on a battlefield, an ally is FAR less likely to kill themselves accidentally. In addition, beneath the red leather wrappings on the hilt is a grip lock, meaning it will immediately disignite if dropped.

This saber is also a departure from the norm for his use of the Makashi form, as it is a straight hilted weapon. This decision was founded on the theory that while curved hilted sabers are more common among Brotherhood members, it's still far more likely that, should he lose his lightsaber, it will be much more likely to recover a straight handled saber from the dead.
[[File:SavageSithBlue.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's first lightsaber]]

While he hates, loathes, and despises blasters, he does own one. It's a small [[starwars:Hold-out_blaster|Hold Out]], of the extremely high power variety, which only holds charge for a single shot. He carries this only when hunting another assassin, as a show of respect. He will give them the blaster to end their own life with, so that they can go out on their own terms and with their dignity. To date, this weapon has never been fired, and charged only once.

Mirado keeps a permanant residence on Gamuslag, though he stays there very infrequently, as he considers the planet filthy and uncomfortable. In addition, he has a permanent home in the Pepoi compound near [[Mucenic]]. It is one of the homes found in the Kashyyyk Arms housing community, but built into his family's homestead.

== DJB Facts ==
=== Non-Combat Skills ===
Mirado can be considered an expert in these Non-Combat skills

# Acrobatics and Gymnastics
# Stealth
# Survival
# Hunting and Tracking
# Sleight of Hand
# Simple Items Crafting (Basic knives, clothing, etc.)
# Poisons
# Dance
# (To be added when I figure out what I want here)

=== Unarmed Combat ===
[[K'thri]]: Mirado uses K'thri more of a mobility art than he does an actual combat art. By taking advantage of the movements that K'thri trains it's users in, Mirado can evade his opponent's attacks through unorthodox methods, leaving them open to being struck in undefended places.

[[Teras Kasi]]: This is Mirado's primary striking form. Utilizing the very linear form, Mirado is able to land devastating strikes against his opponent. This is made all the more dangerous as he uses K'thri movements, so his foes don't expect such straight line attacks.

=== Armed Combat ===
Aside of the lightsaber, Mirado utilizes a paired knife approach, and can be considered a master in the use of a short blade. Given his reckless nature, he has overcome the difficulty of most knife fighters, that being the fear of being cut. Because of this, and because of his reach, he can and will come at an opponent in both close range and at reach. Often he will use feinting techniques, but is also known to use his strength to push his opponent's own weapons away and land a simultaneous strike with both weapons.

=== Lightsaber Combat ===
Mirado has some experience with the [[Makashi]] form, and is skilled with [[Soresu]]. He has been studying considerably in regards to the [[Sokan]] form, to the point of working out his own take on it. He has combined his ambidexterity with his knowledge of K'thri to fight Lightsaber/Vibroblade in a very dynamic, movement oriented style. While this doesn't begin to compare to the real thing, it is, at least, a start, until he can locate training in both Ataru and Sokan itself.

=== Force Powers ===
Among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Mirado can be seen as something of a child in terms of his power within the Force. In fact, there are novices and apprentices who's abilities with the Force far outstrip his own. This hasn't stopped him, however, from getting creative with his use of the Force.

# Withdraw Force Signature: Not a power, and similar to a voluntary self Force suppression, this is a very common trick among the Jedi. By electing not to channel the Force, or live in constant contact with it, Mirado's Force signature is much more withdrawn than others. In addition, this limits his natural Miraluka 'Force Sight' to that of one of his species with no Force Training whatsoever, meaning he's fairly limited to basic shape and whether or not something is organic. Among members of the Brotherhood, Mirado maintains his connection (mostly because he expects treachery)

# Slow Fall: A trick used by many of his brethren, this is simply an application of telekinesis, used to arrest a fall. Simply, at the end of a fall, he Force pushes against the ground to telekinetically 'bounce' himself, cutting his downward velocity. So far, his courage in testing this ability has proven a 5 or 6 story building is a possible leap, but with some discomfort on impact. Given his reckless nature, however, he will likely be testing his limits and timing with this power for some time to come.

# Wall Run and Wall Spring: Enhance Ability applied to increase his balance, coordination, and speed, allows Mirado to temporarily defy gravity to a degree, taking advantage of surfaces that his opponents might not consider.

While Mirado does have an understanding of a decent suite of Force Powers, he tends towards more 'internal' powers, such as Enhance Ability, Force Jump, and Burst of Speed. The blessings of Sadow (Heart Stun and Force Blast) he tends to keep up his sleeve, using them only when they can be applied to devastating effect.

* Wolverine (the feral behavior, stealthiness, lack of social grace, and general lack of speaking much)
* Tarzan (again the feral behavior, and the way he moves, to a degree)

I've taken to adding one Non-Combat skill per rank, just an experiment I'm working on.

Originally, he was meant to be named Predator, but I wasn't able to use that name, so I chose the Latin word for hunter, unwittingly naming him after a Star Destroyer, and I'm too stubborn to change it.

Up until about 10/31/2010, I was torn between Shien and Sokan as the form I would build Ven for. This was finally decided, on the day I made Knight, by flipping a quarter.

My character was knighted in 144 days... definitely nothing impressive, but I felt it necessary to list it here.

Before I joined, I poked around the wiki and saw a lot of Mandalorians and a lot of Japanese cultured names, so I decided to go more Native American with him. This might have had something to do with watching Avatar a week before I signed up.

The decision to avoid blasters is peculiar for me, as I'm a firearms enthusiast. I did this as something of an experiment to see if I could pull it off, and so far, I think I did alright.

I made a goal of earning a diamond crescent, and I received my notification of earning one by way of my smart phone, when I'd just woken up from a late shift at work. My excitement unnerved my wife and woke up my son. I still feel like a goober for that.

As I've developed the character, I ran into this "Henchman 21" kinda groove with him, where he's this capable fighter and all, but still sees himself as just another thug in somebody's employ. Props to whoever gets this reference.

'''Kel Rasha''' is an [[Aeotheran]] city being built by experimental means. Using refugees local to the system, a ready pool of labor has been gathered to build the city that will support the Crown Jewel of Aeotheran, [[the Gilded Archipelago]]. Kel Rasha is built under the new Sadow Directive, specifically by [[House Shar Dakhan]], as the financial arm of the Clan. Working hand in hand with the [[Dlarit Corporation]], the plan for the city is one of the economic enhancement through local business.

== Overview ==
Upon completion (final touches sometime late 39 aby), the dream of Kel Rasha will be something like this.

Covering approximately 320 square kilometers on the western shore of one of the Aeotheran continents, Kel Rasha sits about 20 degrees longitude north of the equator. The city was built on the coast, nestled against the foothills of a mountain chain, with the city limits shaped in something of a rough trapezoid with the widest 77 points facing towards the ocean.

The city was zoned specifically so that the taller the building, the further from the coast it must be built, so that those who purchase property closer to the beach, are ensured an excellent view. Unlike the strict, structured, and organized layout found in most other Dlarit cities in the Orian system, Kel Rasha is laid out in a much more lazy manner, with streets approximately a meter wider than necessary and speed limits much lower, to encourage a more relaxed environment.

The businesses within Kel Rasha are also a major departure from Dlarit standards, as less than 10% of the businesses are chain or franchise. Instead, they are all small, locally owned affairs, selling locally crafted wares. Because of this attitude, all business owners must queue for the business license, depending on the nature of their venture. A holocinema owner might wait over a year to open, while a Vegetarian Wookiee food vendor would be approved almost immediately.

Keeping in line with other major population centers in the [[Orian system]], Kel Rasha is protected by a powerful shield generator to protect the city from orbital bombardment. The citywide shield, however, does not contain localized weather control, but does have the power to protect the city from severe tropical storms and hurricanes.

=== Resources and Utilities ===

==== Power ====
Kel Rasha is a departure from standard power generation, and instead uses three different methods to supply power to the city.

Tidal Energy: Tied to the local desalination centers are tidal energy plants, allowing for less use of space to provide multiple services.

Solar Farming: A series of solar farms are set up on the far side of the mountain chain so that they aren't plainly visible to the city of Kel Rasha.

Wind Turbines: Set amidst the solar farms are wind traps, built to take advantage of the air currents at elevation..

==== Food ====
The primary food production is the ichthyoculture farms submerged 35 kilometers northwest of the city proper. Many varieties of local fish are farmed here, as well as many varieties of kelp. This location is kept very secret, as it exists to support the [[Aeotheran#Seng_Karash|Seng Karesh]] subterranean farms in the event of system wide siege. Approximately 80 kilometers south of Kel Rasha are small, privately owned plantations, growing many tropical climate specific fruits and vegetables, as well as luxury goods such as caf beans and exotic teas. Owing to the rich soil, these luxury goods grow in great abundance, and due to the very stable climate, have almost no stop to their growing season. In addition, there are a number of vineyards which produce many different varieties of wines and spirits. Hydroponic farming is also common, though instead of large scale farming operations, there are numerous small indoor hydroponic farms operating as greengrocers. Unlike most of the rest of the local economy, Kel Rasha does import a certain amount of food stuffs, though this is done through Dlarit's hospitalities division.

==== Goods ====
Several goods are produced locally. Among them are:
*Exotic Woods.
*Holofilms.
*Art.
*Wines and Spirits.

== History ==
As it happens, it shall be added.

== Points of Interest ==
Detailed below are a list of major landmarks found within Kel Rasha, and what can be found nearby it.

[[image:Oshairana Beach.png|thumb|left|200px|Oshairana Beach]]
=== Oshairana Beach ===
The largest of the many public beaches found in Kel Rasha, and also the most appointed. Oshairana Beach has a large boardwalk complete with a permanent carnival, food and drink vendors, beach shops and the like. This is also the only public beach with permanently employed lifeguards on duty.

[[image:Neon Paso Doble.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Neon Paso Doble at night]]
==== The Neon Paso Doble ====
The locals call it the NPD, three letters that within Kel Rasha, are synonymous with plain, simple, mindless fun. The attractions are anything but plain, however, as at night, the place is lit up in a nebulous riot of neon, coloring the waters in yellows, reds, blues, and purples. The rides are kept in excellent condition thanks to Dlarit technicians (tasked by the legal department to prevent litigation) and the security is top notch, in both skill and discreet presence. Also, while no carnival games are ever truly 'fair', the games are checked to prevent outright rigging. Multiple food vendors remain on location, offering standard carnival fare, and there are also two legitimate restaurants. One of them is called the 'Paso' and serves food just a step or two above the standard fried food on a stick available strewn about the carnival, while the other, titled 'Candle Light' has food at a standard similar to basic franchise type eateries. The place is popular as a date location for teenagers and young adults.

[[image:Trill and resh.jpg|thumb|left|200px|the Surf section of Trill and Resh Watersports]]
==== Trill and Resh Watersports Incorporated ====
A definite 'One Stop Shop' for anything involving thrills on, in, or under the water. Watersports Inc. carries a wide selection of equipment and accessories for aforementioned activities. Repulsor ski and diving equipment can be rented here, and they also vend handmade surfboards made by a local craftsman. The prices aren't cheap, but neither are their products.

==== Indecent Exposure ====
True to name, this swimwear shop has something of a reputation for carrying stock that might be considered illegal in some locations. While Oshairana beach proper does have decency laws, they aren't enforced as strictly after 1900 hours, and there are also more private areas of beach not so far away as well. Indecent Exposure is rumored to have a wall of holographs behind the counter of pictures of teenage girls whose fathers have asked the store not to sell to. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, and the employees tend to encourage the mystery as curious shoppers have done wonders for their sales.

==== Frosty's Joint ====
A beachside cantina about half the size of a speeder truck's cargo container, Frosty's is operated by a protocol droid, and specializes in (read:limits to) flavorful slushy drinks in plain white containers, with a fairly generous pour of the alcohols involved. Many first-time visitors are put rather off by the very mellowed and relaxed attitude Frosty greets them with, and occasionally ask him where his master is. Frosty will often reply by asking them the same thing, before pointing to his certificate of [[starwars:manumission|Manumission]] displayed proudly among the tropical themed décor.

[[image:yurashima point.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yurashima Point]]
=== Yurashima Point ===
A large, jutting rock just off the cliffs north of the beaches, Yurashima point was a curiosity of nature. Tides and erosion have created a natural staircase which leads to the top of the rock, offering an incredible view of the coastline. Thrill seekers are prone to leaping from the top of the rock.

[[image:Buurenaar cove.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A waterfall near Buurenaar cove]]
=== Buurenaar Cove ===
At a point between two of the larger beaches, Buurenaar cove is nestled in a very stony part of the coastline. The area attracts few swimmers, but is probably the best place one can find to fish without chartering a boat.

==== Bombad Pro Shop ====
Fairly near Buurenaar cove is a fishing pro shop. All manner of rod and tackle may be found here, though specialty items will have to be ordered. Bait is also sold here, and trophy catches can be mounted. This business is ran by Evvoo Trad, a [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] expatriate who is very closed-mouth about why he cannot return to Naboo. What is known is that he keeps a custom [[starwars:E-11|E-11]] behind the counter, modified for underwater use, and receives a generous stipend from the city to keep the largest sharks from coming too close to shore, which he does by free diving about a kilometer and a half out from shore, and cutting himself to attract them. To date, he's never, ever, been bitten. Evvoo shares his stipend with any fisherman who can haul in a shark weighing over 550 kilos.

[[image:Mononoke Drive.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A view of Kel Rasha from a high point on Mononoke Drive]]
=== Mononoke Drive ===
A long, winding road on the mountains to the east of the city, where the city's wealthy populace resides. While there are more efficient ways to get from point A to point B, none are quite as relaxing to drive on one's own. At night, it's said that the lights of the city, reflected on the water, make Kel Rasha seem to last forever.

=== Alabaster Square ===
In the middle of the city, a very large, pedestrian only square has been built, with several fountains, a bandstand, and carefully manicured topiary.

=== The Verda Cruise Line ===
Because of the nature of Speeder tuners and Swoop Jockies to gather, a length of street spanning a few dozen blocks has been specifically developed as an attractant to the aforementioned vehicle fans. The Verda Cruise line is known as a place where one can get into some trouble when the sun goes down. While this area is still policed, one can find women, gambling, and sundry other vice here.

==== The Pool Hall====
A place which needs no better name, the Pool Hall is exactly that. Several high quality [[starwars:pool|holo-billiard]] tables fill this place. There are dart boards on the walls, and waitresses with too much bosom and too little self respect serving the drinks. It's an ideal place for people looking to get into some trouble.

[[image:longnecks.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Bar at Longnecks. The bartender declined to show her face to the Holocams]]
==== Longnecks ====
A very classic example of a swooper bar, this place is renowned for being a neutral zone for the city's swoop gangs. The owner and proprietor isn't known for his tolerance of most any kind of trouble, and will kindly let anyone know about this, by way of a stout durasteel [[starwars:smashball|smashball]] bat and a [[starwars:DL-44_heavy_blaster_pistol|DL-44]]. His beers are cheap, but cold, and his service staff is prompt and accurate, though perhaps not so much to look at. They're also his daughters, and he will kindly thank people to keep their hands and comments to themselves, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44. His accent is plain basic, but when incensed, something else tends to slip out. A few people in the know have insinuated that he might be Mandalorian, but if asked about it, he will kindly tell you to leave it alone, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44.

==== Racketeers ====
Calling this place a 'Gentlemen's Club' is very much polishing Bantha droppings, though that's how the place advertises itself. While the dancers will tell you that nothing but looking is for sale, a lot more is for sale if you know how to ask. Obviously, the police keep an eye on what goes on here, but have yet to determine how to prove that prostitution is happening within the walls of the place, as evidence tends to turn up missing.

=== Dlarit Stadium ===
Home to the Aeotheran Islanders, the local [[starwars:Smashball|Smashball]] team. Built to exacting standards, and zoned more intentionally than any other location, the stadium is easy to find, but hard to spot, so that it doesn't interfere with the carefully manicured skyline of the city. The stadium itself is built with the latest in technologies, so that even those in the upper deck “Cheap Seats” are ensured an excellent view. While the stadium was built by a single corporate entity, and the team is likewise owned by Dlarit, there are several Owner's and VIP boxes, reserved for the leadership of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole, and their guests.
Unlike other stadiums, each of the food and souvenir vendors are completely independent contractors, though they purchase their wares directly through Dlarit. In their contract to vend, prices are fixed so that outrageous stadium fees aren't involved. This means that more people are able to afford to spend more in the stadium, directly feeding the profit margin. Unknown to all but the Dark Jedi and the uppermost echelon of Dlarit, the stadium is more than just a Smashball arena. Below the facade of the building, several esoteric materials were used in the construction. These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

[[image:Marina.jpg|thumb|right|200px|An Airspeeder's view of part of the marina]]
=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|200px|One of the lots in the studio]]
=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===

Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Kresshian Studios currently shows high ratings on a few shows.

*'''Jedi Fights''': ACC Battles which have been filmed, edited for time and content, and given color commentary (the real nature of these battles remains absolutely undisclosed, for obvious reasons). Many people watch the show with great interest, and fans will clash over their favorite combatants. Dlarit has been considering producing licensed merchandise of the more popular combatants.

*'''To Kill or Not to Kill''': A romantic comedy of a chance meeting between a Zeltron female and a Gungan male. They fall in love, but all the while the Zeltron is constantly plotting inside her head different ways to kill her new Gungan boyfriend. The comedy ensues as her plots are heard by the audience through a voiceover. Each time being pulled back to reality and the thin line between love and hate by competing with her own heart and feelings. She is constantly battling herself on whether to kill him, or not to kill him.

== Transit ==

=== Land ===
Transit between Kel Rasha and the Gilded Archipelago is handled by a massive sub-aquatic speeder highway which parallels a high speed monorail line. In-city, the roads tend to follow the natural lay of the land, instead of cutting through it, and arcs and curves naturally. This is a massive departure from Dlarit's standard precise and organized method of construction, to encourage the relaxed sightseeing common to the tourists that the city was developed to attract.

=== Air ===
There are 5 airspeeder portages within Kel Rasha, for both public and private flights. Charter services and rentals are available, though subject to the 'Only Clouds and Birds in the Skies' policy that prevent the skyline from being choked with airspeeders.

=== Space ===
There is one major spaceport near Kel Rasha, approximately 35 kilometers north of the city limits. There are a large number of hangars, and plenty of tarmac to land multiple ships at once.

These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

[[image:Marina.jpg|thumb|right|200px|An Airspeeder's view of part of the marina]]
=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|200px|One of the lots in the studio]]
=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===

Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Kresshian Studios currently shows high ratings on a few shows.

*'''Jedi Fights''': ACC Battles which have been filmed, edited for time and content, and given color commentary. Many people watch the show with great interest, and fans will clash over their favorite combatants. Dlarit has been considering producing licensed merchandise of the more popular combatants.

*'''To Kill or Not to Kill''': A romantic comedy of a chance meeting between a Zeltron female and a Gungan male. They fall in love, but all the while the Zeltron is constantly plotting inside her head different ways to kill her new Gungan boyfriend. The comedy ensues as her plots are heard by the audience through a voiceover. Each time being pulled back to reality and the thin line between love and hate by competing with her own heart and feelings. She is constantly battling herself on whether to kill him, or not to kill him.

== Transit ==

=== Land ===
Transit between Kel Rasha and the Gilded Archipelago is handled by a massive sub-aquatic speeder highway which parallels a high speed monorail line. In-city, the roads tend to follow the natural lay of the land, instead of cutting through it, and arcs and curves naturally. This is a massive departure from Dlarit's standard precise and organized method of construction, to encourage the relaxed sightseeing common to the tourists that the city was developed to attract.

=== Air ===
There are 5 airspeeder portages within Kel Rasha, for both public and private flights. Charter services and rentals are available, though subject to the 'Only Clouds and Birds in the Skies' policy that prevent the skyline from being choked with airspeeders.

=== Space ===
There is one major spaceport near Kel Rasha, approximately 35 kilometers north of the city limits. There are a large number of hangars, and plenty of tarmac to land multiple ships at once.

'''Kel Rasha''' is an [[Aeotheran]] city being built by experimental means. Using refugees local to the system, a ready pool of labor has been gathered to build the city that will support the Crown Jewel of Aeotheran, [[the Gilded Archipelago]]. Kel Rasha is built under the new Sadow Directive, specifically by [[House Shar Dakhan]], as the financial arm of the Clan. Working hand in hand with the [[Dlarit Corporation]], the plan for the city is one of the economic enhancement through local business.

== Overview ==
Upon completion (final touches sometime late 39 aby), the dream of Kel Rasha will be something like this.

Covering approximately 320 square kilometers on the western shore of one of the Aeotheran continents, Kel Rasha sits about 20 degrees longitude north of the equator. The city was built on the coast, nestled against the foothills of a mountain chain, with the city limits shaped in something of a rough trapezoid with the widest 77 points facing towards the ocean.

The city was zoned specifically so that the taller the building, the further from the coast it must be built, so that those who purchase property closer to the beach, are ensured an excellent view. Unlike the strict, structured, and organized layout found in most other Dlarit cities in the Orian system, Kel Rasha is laid out in a much more lazy manner, with streets approximately a meter wider than necessary and speed limits much lower, to encourage a more relaxed environment.

The businesses within Kel Rasha are also a major departure from Dlarit standards, as less than 10% of the businesses are chain or franchise. Instead, they are all small, locally owned affairs, selling locally crafted wares. Because of this attitude, all business owners must queue for the business license, depending on the nature of their venture. A holocinema owner might wait over a year to open, while a Vegetarian Wookiee food vendor would be approved almost immediately.

Keeping in line with other major population centers in the [[Orian system]], Kel Rasha is protected by a powerful shield generator to protect the city from orbital bombardment. The citywide shield, however, does not contain localized weather control, but does have the power to protect the city from severe tropical storms and hurricanes.

=== Resources and Utilities ===

==== Power ====
Kel Rasha is a departure from standard power generation, and instead uses three different methods to supply power to the city.

Tidal Energy: Tied to the local desalination centers are tidal energy plants, allowing for less use of space to provide multiple services.

Solar Farming: A series of solar farms are set up on the far side of the mountain chain so that they aren't plainly visible to the city of Kel Rasha.

Wind Turbines: Set amidst the solar farms are wind traps, built to take advantage of the air currents at elevation..

==== Food ====
The primary food production is the ichthyoculture farms submerged 35 kilometers northwest of the city proper. Many varieties of local fish are farmed here, as well as many varieties of kelp. This location is kept very secret, as it exists to support the [[Aeotheran#Seng_Karash|Seng Karesh]] subterranean farms in the event of system wide siege. Approximately 80 kilometers south of Kel Rasha are small, privately owned plantations, growing many tropical climate specific fruits and vegetables, as well as luxury goods such as caf beans and exotic teas. Owing to the rich soil, these luxury goods grow in great abundance, and due to the very stable climate, have almost no stop to their growing season. In addition, there are a number of vineyards which produce many different varieties of wines and spirits. Hydroponic farming is also common, though instead of large scale farming operations, there are numerous small indoor hydroponic farms operating as greengrocers. Unlike most of the rest of the local economy, Kel Rasha does import a certain amount of food stuffs, though this is done through Dlarit's hospitalities division.

==== Goods ====
Several goods are produced locally. Among them are:
*Exotic Woods.
*Holofilms.
*Art.
*Wines and Spirits.

== History ==
As it happens, it shall be added.

== Points of Interest ==
Detailed below are a list of major landmarks found within Kel Rasha, and what can be found nearby it.

=== Oshairana Beach ===
[[image:Oshairana Beach.png|thumb|left|200px|Oshairana Beach]]
The largest of the many public beaches found in Kel Rasha, and also the most appointed. Oshairana Beach has a large boardwalk complete with a permanent carnival, food and drink vendors, beach shops and the like. This is also the only public beach with permanently employed lifeguards on duty.

==== The Neon Paso Doble ====
[[image:Neon Paso Doble.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Neon Paso Doble at night]]
The locals call it the NPD, three letters that within Kel Rasha, are synonymous with plain, simple, mindless fun. The attractions are anything but plain, however, as at night, the place is lit up in a nebulous riot of neon, coloring the waters in yellows, reds, blues, and purples. The rides are kept in excellent condition thanks to Dlarit technicians (tasked by the legal department to prevent litigation) and the security is top notch, in both skill and discreet presence. Also, while no carnival games are ever truly 'fair', the games are checked to prevent outright rigging. Multiple food vendors remain on location, offering standard carnival fare, and there are also two legitimate restaurants. One of them is called the 'Paso' and serves food just a step or two above the standard fried food on a stick available strewn about the carnival, while the other, titled 'Candle Light' has food at a standard similar to basic franchise type eateries. The place is popular as a date location for teenagers and young adults.

==== Trill and Resh Watersports Incorporated ====
[[image:Trill and resh.jpg|thumb|left|200px|the Surf section of Trill and Resh Watersports]]
A definite 'One Stop Shop' for anything involving thrills on, in, or under the water. Watersports Inc. carries a wide selection of equipment and accessories for aforementioned activities. Repulsor ski and diving equipment can be rented here, and they also vend handmade surfboards made by a local craftsman. The prices aren't cheap, but neither are their products.

==== Indecent Exposure ====
True to name, this swimwear shop has something of a reputation for carrying stock that might be considered illegal in some locations. While Oshairana beach proper does have decency laws, they aren't enforced as strictly after 1900 hours, and there are also more private areas of beach not so far away as well. Indecent Exposure is rumored to have a wall of holographs behind the counter of pictures of teenage girls whose fathers have asked the store not to sell to. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, and the employees tend to encourage the mystery as curious shoppers have done wonders for their sales.

==== Frosty's Joint ====
A beachside cantina about half the size of a speeder truck's cargo container, Frosty's is operated by a protocol droid, and specializes in (read:limits to) flavorful slushy drinks in plain white containers, with a fairly generous pour of the alcohols involved. Many first-time visitors are put rather off by the very mellowed and relaxed attitude Frosty greets them with, and occasionally ask him where his master is. Frosty will often reply by asking them the same thing, before pointing to his certificate of [[starwars:manumission|Manumission]] displayed proudly among the tropical themed décor.

=== Yurashima Point ===
[[image:yurashima point.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yurashima Point]]
A large, jutting rock just off the cliffs north of the beaches, Yurashima point was a curiosity of nature. Tides and erosion have created a natural staircase which leads to the top of the rock, offering an incredible view of the coastline. Thrill seekers are prone to leaping from the top of the rock.

===Buurenaar Cove ===
[[image:Buurenaar cove.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A waterfall near Buurenaar cove]]
At a point between two of the larger beaches, Buurenaar cove is nestled in a very stony part of the coastline. The area attracts few swimmers, but is probably the best place one can find to fish without chartering a boat.

==== Bombad Pro Shop ====
Fairly near Buurenaar cove is a fishing pro shop. All manner of rod and tackle may be found here, though specialty items will have to be ordered. Bait is also sold here, and trophy catches can be mounted. This business is ran by Evvoo Trad, a [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] expatriate who is very closed-mouth about why he cannot return to Naboo. What is known is that he keeps a custom [[starwars:E-11|E-11]] behind the counter, modified for underwater use, and receives a generous stipend from the city to keep the largest sharks from coming too close to shore, which he does by free diving about a kilometer and a half out from shore, and cutting himself to attract them. To date, he's never, ever, been bitten. Evvoo shares his stipend with any fisherman who can haul in a shark weighing over 550 kilos.

=== Mononoke Drive===
[[image:Mononoke Drive.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A view of Kel Rasha from a high point on Mononoke Drive]]
A long, winding road on the mountains to the east of the city, where the city's wealthy populace resides. While there are more efficient ways to get from point A to point B, none are quite as relaxing to drive on one's own. At night, it's said that the lights of the city, reflected on the water, make Kel Rasha seem to last forever.

=== Alabaster Square ===
In the middle of the city, a very large, pedestrian only square has been built, with several fountains, a bandstand, and carefully manicured topiary.

=== The Verda Cruise Line ===
Because of the nature of Speeder tuners and Swoop Jockies to gather, a length of street spanning a few dozen blocks has been specifically developed as an attractant to the aforementioned vehicle fans. The Verda Cruise line is known as a place where one can get into some trouble when the sun goes down. While this area is still policed, one can find women, gambling, and sundry other vice here.

==== The Pool Hall====
A place which needs no better name, the Pool Hall is exactly that. Several high quality [[starwars:pool|holo-billiard]] tables fill this place. There are dart boards on the walls, and waitresses with too much bosom and too little self respect serving the drinks. It's an ideal place for people looking to get into some trouble.

==== Longnecks ====
[[image:longnecks.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Bar at Longnecks. The bartender declined to show her face to the Holocams]]
A very classic example of a swooper bar, this place is renowned for being a neutral zone for the city's swoop gangs. The owner and proprietor isn't known for his tolerance of most any kind of trouble, and will kindly let anyone know about this, by way of a stout durasteel [[starwars:smashball|smashball]] bat and a [[starwars:DL-44_heavy_blaster_pistol|DL-44]]. His beers are cheap, but cold, and his service staff is prompt and accurate, though perhaps not so much to look at. They're also his daughters, and he will kindly thank people to keep their hands and comments to themselves, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44. His accent is plain basic, but when incensed, something else tends to slip out. A few people in the know have insinuated that he might be Mandalorian, but if asked about it, he will kindly tell you to leave it alone, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44.

==== Racketeers ====
Calling this place a 'Gentlemen's Club' is very much polishing Bantha droppings, though that's how the place advertises itself. While the dancers will tell you that nothing but looking is for sale, a lot more is for sale if you know how to ask. Obviously, the police keep an eye on what goes on here, but have yet to determine how to prove that prostitution is happening within the walls of the place, as evidence tends to turn up missing.

=== Dlarit Stadium ===
Home to the Aeotheran Islanders, the local [[starwars:Smashball|Smashball]] team. Built to exacting standards, and zoned more intentionally than any other location, the stadium is easy to find, but hard to spot, so that it doesn't interfere with the carefully manicured skyline of the city. The stadium itself is built with the latest in technologies, so that even those in the upper deck “Cheap Seats” are ensured an excellent view. While the stadium was built by a single corporate entity, and the team is likewise owned by Dlarit, there are several Owner's and VIP boxes, reserved for the leadership of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole, and their guests.
Unlike other stadiums, each of the food and souvenir vendors are completely independent contractors, though they purchase their wares directly through Dlarit. In their contract to vend, prices are fixed so that outrageous stadium fees aren't involved. This means that more people are able to afford to spend more in the stadium, directly feeding the profit margin. Unknown to all but the Dark Jedi and the uppermost echelon of Dlarit, the stadium is more than just a Smashball arena. Below the facade of the building, several esoteric materials were used in the construction. These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
[[image:Marina.jpg|thumb|right|200px|An Airspeeder's view of part of the marina]]
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===
[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|200px|One of the lots in the studio]]
Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Kresshian Studios currently shows high ratings on a few shows.

*'''Jedi Fights''': ACC Battles which have been filmed, edited for time and content, and given color commentary. Many people watch the show with great interest, and fans will clash over their favorite combatants. Dlarit has been considering producing licensed merchandise of the more popular combatants.

Because of the nature of Speeder tuners and Swoop Jockies to gather, a length of street spanning a few dozen blocks has been specifically developed as an attractant to the aforementioned vehicle fans.

A few people in the know have insinuated that he might be Mandalorian, but if asked about it, he will kindly tell you to leave it alone, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44.

==== Racketeers ====
Calling this place a 'Gentlemen's Club' is very much polishing Bantha droppings, though that's how the place advertises itself. While the dancers will tell you that nothing but looking is for sale, a lot more is for sale if you know how to ask. Obviously, the police keep an eye on what goes on here, but have yet to determine how to prove that prostitution is happening within the walls of the place, as evidence tends to turn up missing.

=== Dlarit Stadium ===
Home to the Aeotheran Islanders, the local [[starwars:Smashball|Smashball]] team. Built to exacting standards, and zoned more intentionally than any other location, the stadium is easy to find, but hard to spot, so that it doesn't interfere with the carefully manicured skyline of the city. The stadium itself is built with the latest in technologies, so that even those in the upper deck “Cheap Seats” are ensured an excellent view. While the stadium was built by a single corporate entity, and the team is likewise owned by Dlarit, there are several Owner's and VIP boxes, reserved for the leadership of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole, and their guests.
Unlike other stadiums, each of the food and souvenir vendors are completely independent contractors, though they purchase their wares directly through Dlarit. In their contract to vend, prices are fixed so that outrageous stadium fees aren't involved. This means that more people are able to afford to spend more in the stadium, directly feeding the profit margin. Unknown to all but the Dark Jedi and the uppermost echelon of Dlarit, the stadium is more than just a Smashball arena. Below the facade of the building, several esoteric materials were used in the construction. These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
[[image:Marina.jpg|thumb|right|150px|An Airspeeder's view of part of the marina]]
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===
[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of the lots in the studio]]
Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Kresshian Studios currently shows high ratings on a few shows.

*'''Jedi Fights''': ACC Battles which have been filmed, edited for time and content, and given color commentary. Many people watch the show with great interest, and fans will clash over their favorite combatants. Dlarit has been considering producing licensed merchandise of the more popular combatants.

*'''To Kill or Not to Kill''': A romantic comedy of a chance meeting between a Zeltron female and a Gungan male. They fall in love, but all the while the Zeltron is constantly plotting inside her head different ways to kill her new Gungan boyfriend. The comedy ensues as her plots are heard by the audience through a voiceover. Each time being pulled back to reality and the thin line between love and hate by competing with her own heart and feelings. She is constantly battling herself on whether to kill him, or not to kill him.

== Transit ==

=== Land ===
Transit between Kel Rasha and the Gilded Archipelago is handled by a massive sub-aquatic speeder highway which parallels a high speed monorail line. In-city, the roads tend to follow the natural lay of the land, instead of cutting through it, and arcs and curves naturally. This is a massive departure from Dlarit's standard precise and organized method of construction, to encourage the relaxed sightseeing common to the tourists that the city was developed to attract.

=== Air ===
There are 5 airspeeder portages within Kel Rasha, for both public and private flights. Charter services and rentals are available, though subject to the 'Only Clouds and Birds in the Skies' policy that prevent the skyline from being choked with airspeeders.

=== Space ===
There is one major spaceport near Kel Rasha, approximately 35 kilometers north of the city limits. There are a large number of hangars, and plenty of tarmac to land multiple ships at once.

'''Kel Rasha''' is an [[Aeotheran]] city being built by experimental means. Using refugees local to the system, a ready pool of labor has been gathered to build the city that will support the Crown Jewel of Aeotheran, [[the Gilded Archipelago]]. Kel Rasha is built under the new Sadow Directive, specifically by [[House Shar Dakhan]], as the financial arm of the Clan. Working hand in hand with the [[Dlarit Corporation]], the plan for the city is one of the economic enhancement through local business.

== Overview ==
Upon completion (final touches sometime late 39 aby), the dream of Kel Rasha will be something like this.

Covering approximately 320 square kilometers on the western shore of one of the Aeotheran continents, Kel Rasha sits about 20 degrees longitude north of the equator. The city was built on the coast, nestled against the foothills of a mountain chain, with the city limits shaped in something of a rough trapezoid with the widest 77 points facing towards the ocean.

The city was zoned specifically so that the taller the building, the further from the coast it must be built, so that those who purchase property closer to the beach, are ensured an excellent view. Unlike the strict, structured, and organized layout found in most other Dlarit cities in the Orian system, Kel Rasha is laid out in a much more lazy manner, with streets approximately a meter wider than necessary and speed limits much lower, to encourage a more relaxed environment.

The businesses within Kel Rasha are also a major departure from Dlarit standards, as less than 10% of the businesses are chain or franchise. Instead, they are all small, locally owned affairs, selling locally crafted wares. Because of this attitude, all business owners must queue for the business license, depending on the nature of their venture. A holocinema owner might wait over a year to open, while a Vegetarian Wookiee food vendor would be approved almost immediately.

Keeping in line with other major population centers in the [[Orian system]], Kel Rasha is protected by a powerful shield generator to protect the city from orbital bombardment. The citywide shield, however, does not contain localized weather control, but does have the power to protect the city from severe tropical storms and hurricanes.

=== Resources and Utilities ===

==== Power ====
Kel Rasha is a departure from standard power generation, and instead uses three different methods to supply power to the city.

Tidal Energy: Tied to the local desalination centers are tidal energy plants, allowing for less use of space to provide multiple services.

Solar Farming: A series of solar farms are set up on the far side of the mountain chain so that they aren't plainly visible to the city of Kel Rasha.

Wind Turbines: Set amidst the solar farms are wind traps, built to take advantage of the air currents at elevation..

==== Food ====
The primary food production is the ichthyoculture farms submerged 35 kilometers northwest of the city proper. Many varieties of local fish are farmed here, as well as many varieties of kelp. This location is kept very secret, as it exists to support the [[Aeotheran#Seng_Karash|Seng Karesh]] subterranean farms in the event of system wide siege. Approximately 80 kilometers south of Kel Rasha are small, privately owned plantations, growing many tropical climate specific fruits and vegetables, as well as luxury goods such as caf beans and exotic teas. Owing to the rich soil, these luxury goods grow in great abundance, and due to the very stable climate, have almost no stop to their growing season. In addition, there are a number of vineyards which produce many different varieties of wines and spirits. Hydroponic farming is also common, though instead of large scale farming operations, there are numerous small indoor hydroponic farms operating as greengrocers. Unlike most of the rest of the local economy, Kel Rasha does import a certain amount of food stuffs, though this is done through Dlarit's hospitalities division.

==== Goods ====
Several goods are produced locally. Among them are:
*Exotic Woods.
*Holofilms.
*Art.
*Wines and Spirits.

== History ==
As it happens, it shall be added.

== Points of Interest ==
Detailed below are a list of major landmarks found within Kel Rasha, and what can be found nearby it.

=== Oshairana Beach ===
[[image:Oshairana Beach.png|thumb|left|150px|Oshairana Beach]]
The largest of the many public beaches found in Kel Rasha, and also the most appointed. Oshairana Beach has a large boardwalk complete with a permanent carnival, food and drink vendors, beach shops and the like. This is also the only public beach with permanently employed lifeguards on duty.

==== The Neon Paso Doble ====
[[image:Neon Paso Doble.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Neon Paso Doble at night]]
The locals call it the NPD, three letters that within Kel Rasha, are synonymous with plain, simple, mindless fun. The attractions are anything but plain, however, as at night, the place is lit up in a nebulous riot of neon, coloring the waters in yellows, reds, blues, and purples. The rides are kept in excellent condition thanks to Dlarit technicians (tasked by the legal department to prevent litigation) and the security is top notch, in both skill and discreet presence. Also, while no carnival games are ever truly 'fair', the games are checked to prevent outright rigging. Multiple food vendors remain on location, offering standard carnival fare, and there are also two legitimate restaurants. One of them is called the 'Paso' and serves food just a step or two above the standard fried food on a stick available strewn about the carnival, while the other, titled 'Candle Light' has food at a standard similar to basic franchise type eateries. The place is popular as a date location for teenagers and young adults.

==== Trill and Resh Watersports Incorporated ====
[[image:Trill and resh.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Trill and Resh Watersports]]
A definite 'One Stop Shop' for anything involving thrills on, in, or under the water. Watersports Inc. carries a wide selection of equipment and accessories for aforementioned activities. Repulsor ski and diving equipment can be rented here, and they also vend handmade surfboards made by a local craftsman. The prices aren't cheap, but neither are their products.

==== Indecent Exposure ====
True to name, this swimwear shop has something of a reputation for carrying stock that might be considered illegal in some locations. While Oshairana beach proper does have decency laws, they aren't enforced as strictly after 1900 hours, and there are also more private areas of beach not so far away as well. Indecent Exposure is rumored to have a wall of holographs behind the counter of pictures of teenage girls whose fathers have asked the store not to sell to. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, and the employees tend to encourage the mystery as curious shoppers have done wonders for their sales.

==== Frosty's Joint ====
A beachside cantina about half the size of a speeder truck's cargo container, Frosty's is operated by a protocol droid, and specializes in (read:limits to) flavorful slushy drinks in plain white containers, with a fairly generous pour of the alcohols involved. Many first-time visitors are put rather off by the very mellowed and relaxed attitude Frosty greets them with, and occasionally ask him where his master is. Frosty will often reply by asking them the same thing, before pointing to his certificate of [[starwars:manumission|Manumission]] displayed proudly among the tropical themed décor.

=== Yurashima Point ===
[[image:yurashima point.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Yurashima Point]]
A large, jutting rock just off the cliffs north of the beaches, Yurashima point was a curiosity of nature. Tides and erosion have created a natural staircase which leads to the top of the rock, offering an incredible view of the coastline. Thrill seekers are prone to leaping from the top of the rock.

===Buurenaar Cove ===
[[image:Buurenaar cove.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A waterfall near Buurenaar cove]]
At a point between two of the larger beaches, Buurenaar cove is nestled in a very stony part of the coastline. The area attracts few swimmers, but is probably the best place one can find to fish without chartering a boat.

==== Bombad Pro Shop ====
Fairly near Buurenaar cove is a fishing pro shop. All manner of rod and tackle may be found here, though specialty items will have to be ordered. Bait is also sold here, and trophy catches can be mounted. This business is ran by Evvoo Trad, a [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] expatriate who is very closed-mouth about why he cannot return to Naboo. What is known is that he keeps a custom [[starwars:E-11|E-11]] behind the counter, modified for underwater use, and receives a generous stipend from the city to keep the largest sharks from coming too close to shore, which he does by free diving about a kilometer and a half out from shore, and cutting himself to attract them. To date, he's never, ever, been bitten. Evvoo shares his stipend with any fisherman who can haul in a shark weighing over 550 kilos.

=== Mononoke Drive===
[[image:Mononoke Drive.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A view of Kel Rasha from a high point on Mononoke Drive]]
A long, winding road on the mountains to the east of the city, where the city's wealthy populace resides. While there are more efficient ways to get from point A to point B, none are quite as relaxing to drive on one's own. At night, it's said that the lights of the city, reflected on the water, make Kel Rasha seem to last forever.

=== Alabaster Square ===
In the middle of the city, a very large, pedestrian only square has been built, with several fountains, a bandstand, and carefully manicured topiary.

=== The Verda Cruise Line ===
Because of the nature of Speeder tuners and Swoop Jockies to gather, a length of street spanning a few dozen blocks has been specifically developed as an attractant to the aforementioned vehicle fans. The Verda Cruise line is known as a place where one can get into some trouble when the sun goes down. While this area is still policed, one can find women, gambling, and sundry other vice here.

==== The Pool Hall====
A place which needs no better name, the Pool Hall is exactly that. Several high quality [[starwars:pool|holo-billiard]] tables fill this place. There are dart boards on the walls, and waitresses with too much bosom and too little self respect serving the drinks. It's an ideal place for people looking to get into some trouble.

==== Longnecks ====
A very classic example of a swooper bar, this place is renowned for being a neutral zone for the city's swoop gangs. The owner and proprietor isn't known for his tolerance of most any kind of trouble, and will kindly let anyone know about this, by way of a stout durasteel [[starwars:smashball|smashball]] bat and a [[starwars:DL-44_heavy_blaster_pistol|DL-44]]. His beers are cheap, but cold, and his service staff is prompt and accurate, though perhaps not so much to look at. They're also his daughters, and he will kindly thank people to keep their hands and comments to themselves, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44. His accent is plain basic, but when incensed, something else tends to slip out. A few people in the know have insinuated that he might be Mandalorian, but if asked about it, he will kindly tell you to leave it alone, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44.

==== Racketeers ====
Calling this place a 'Gentlemen's Club' is very much polishing Bantha droppings, though that's how the place advertises itself. While the dancers will tell you that nothing but looking is for sale, a lot more is for sale if you know how to ask. Obviously, the police keep an eye on what goes on here, but have yet to determine how to prove that prostitution is happening within the walls of the place, as evidence tends to turn up missing.

=== Dlarit Stadium ===
Home to the Aeotheran Islanders, the local [[starwars:Smashball|Smashball]] team. Built to exacting standards, and zoned more intentionally than any other location, the stadium is easy to find, but hard to spot, so that it doesn't interfere with the carefully manicured skyline of the city. The stadium itself is built with the latest in technologies, so that even those in the upper deck “Cheap Seats” are ensured an excellent view. While the stadium was built by a single corporate entity, and the team is likewise owned by Dlarit, there are several Owner's and VIP boxes, reserved for the leadership of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole, and their guests.
Unlike other stadiums, each of the food and souvenir vendors are completely independent contractors, though they purchase their wares directly through Dlarit. In their contract to vend, prices are fixed so that outrageous stadium fees aren't involved. This means that more people are able to afford to spend more in the stadium, directly feeding the profit margin. Unknown to all but the Dark Jedi and the uppermost echelon of Dlarit, the stadium is more than just a Smashball arena. Below the facade of the building, several esoteric materials were used in the construction. These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===
[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of the lots in the studio]]
Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Because of the nature of Speeder tuners and Swoop Jockies to gather, a length of street spanning a few dozen blocks has been specifically developed as an attractant to the aforementioned vehicle fans. The Verda Cruise line is known as a place where one can get into some trouble when the sun goes down. While this area is still policed, one can find women, gambling, and sundry other vice here.

==== The Pool Hall====
A place which needs no better name, the Pool Hall is exactly that. Several high quality [[starwars:pool|holo-billiard]] tables fill this place. There are dart boards on the walls, and waitresses with too much bosom and too little self respect serving the drinks. It's an ideal place for people looking to get into some trouble.

==== Longnecks ====
A very classic example of a swooper bar, this place is renowned for being a neutral zone for the city's swoop gangs. The owner and proprietor isn't known for his tolerance of most any kind of trouble, and will kindly let anyone know about this, by way of a stout durasteel [[starwars:smashball|smashball]] bat and a [[starwars:DL-44_heavy_blaster_pistol|DL-44]]. His beers are cheap, but cold, and his service staff is prompt and accurate, though perhaps not so much to look at. They're also his daughters, and he will kindly thank people to keep their hands and comments to themselves, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44. His accent is plain basic, but when incensed, something else tends to slip out. A few people in the know have insinuated that he might be Mandalorian, but if asked about it, he will kindly tell you to leave it alone, by way of a stout durasteel smashball bat and a DL-44.

==== Racketeers ====
Calling this place a 'Gentlemen's Club' is very much polishing Bantha droppings, though that's how the place advertises itself. While the dancers will tell you that nothing but looking is for sale, a lot more is for sale if you know how to ask. Obviously, the police keep an eye on what goes on here, but have yet to determine how to prove that prostitution is happening within the walls of the place, as evidence tends to turn up missing.

=== Dlarit Stadium ===
Home to the Aeotheran Islanders, the local [[starwars:Smashball|Smashball]] team. Built to exacting standards, and zoned more intentionally than any other location, the stadium is easy to find, but hard to spot, so that it doesn't interfere with the carefully manicured skyline of the city. The stadium itself is built with the latest in technologies, so that even those in the upper deck “Cheap Seats” are ensured an excellent view. While the stadium was built by a single corporate entity, and the team is likewise owned by Dlarit, there are several Owner's and VIP boxes, reserved for the leadership of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole, and their guests.
Unlike other stadiums, each of the food and souvenir vendors are completely independent contractors, though they purchase their wares directly through Dlarit. In their contract to vend, prices are fixed so that outrageous stadium fees aren't involved. This means that more people are able to afford to spend more in the stadium, directly feeding the profit margin. Unknown to all but the Dark Jedi and the uppermost echelon of Dlarit, the stadium is more than just a Smashball arena. Below the facade of the building, several esoteric materials were used in the construction. These materials, enhanced by [[Krath]] Alchemy, laid out in the Ancient [[Sith]] ways, work as a focus point through which the Dark Side can flow through the bodies of the athletes who play here, in a manner similar to the [[Obelisk]] arts of physical focus and enhancement. The Aeotheran Islanders NEVER lose a home game. The fans attribute this to the support they show their team. If they only knew how that support helped the Islanders. Season passes are available starting at very reasonable prices, and kids under 12 admitted free of charge.

=== Kel Rasha Marina ===
While there are smaller, private marinas along the coast of Kel Rasha, none rival the sheer size of the Municipal marina. While the appointments and services available aren't anything outstanding, there is a deliberate overabundance of staff, almost but not quite, to the point of stepping all over one another. The reason for this is to ensure that no paying customer is left waiting, for anything, to allow turnaround of the berths available. Services include refueling, barnacle scraping, engine and sail maintenance, SCUBA tank refills, supply gathering, paint touch-ups, cabin cleaning, fish cleaning and gutting, and sundry other things. Given average employment, any boat owner can expect a staff of five people ready, willing, and able to assist them.

=== Kresshian Pictures Studios ===
[[image:Kresshian Studios Lot.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of the lots in the studio]]
Home of the new kid in the motion picture block, Kresshian Pictures has considerable space built against the northern end of the city, against the mountains. Sets, sound stages, special effects studios and more are found here, as well as offices for the studio executives. Kresshian sets themselves apart in that every single film and holovision program is filmed in full three dimensional holo as well as standard two dimensional holo. While the procedure is more costly, the final finished product is much more crisp even in 2D.

Kresshian Studios currently shows high ratings on a few shows.

*'''Jedi Fights''': ACC Battles which have been filmed, edited for time and content, and given color commentary. Many people watch the show with great interest, and fans will clash over their favorite combatants. Dlarit has been considering producing licensed merchandise of the more popular combatants.

*'''To Kill or Not to Kill''': A romantic comedy of a chance meeting between a Zeltron female and a Gungan male. They fall in love, but all the while the Zeltron is constantly plotting inside her head different ways to kill her new Gungan boyfriend. The comedy ensues as her plots are heard by the audience through a voiceover. Each time being pulled back to reality and the thin line between love and hate by competing with her own heart and feelings. She is constantly battling herself on whether to kill him, or not to kill him.

== Transit ==

=== Land ===
Transit between Kel Rasha and the Gilded Archipelago is handled by a massive sub-aquatic speeder highway which parallels a high speed monorail line. In-city, the roads tend to follow the natural lay of the land, instead of cutting through it, and arcs and curves naturally. This is a massive departure from Dlarit's standard precise and organized method of construction, to encourage the relaxed sightseeing common to the tourists that the city was developed to attract.

=== Air ===
There are 5 airspeeder portages within Kel Rasha, for both public and private flights. Charter services and rentals are available, though subject to the 'Only Clouds and Birds in the Skies' policy that prevent the skyline from being choked with airspeeders.

=== Space ===
There is one major spaceport near Kel Rasha, approximately 35 kilometers north of the city limits. There are a large number of hangars, and plenty of tarmac to land multiple ships at once.

{{Quote|If you’re not risking your life, you’re not living it.|Mirado}}

== Character History ==

=== Early life ===
'''Venator''' was born Mirado Lhaan on Chandrila, just a simple little boy being raised by refugee parents. He, due to his species, had to hide, and spent almost his entire life indoors and around his parents.

This was all he knew. The truth was, however, much stranger than the fiction.

His name was the only real thing he knew about his life. He was born Mirado Pepoi to Lucien Fey and Fayth Pepoi, on Coruscant. As an infant, during the 4th Battle of Coruscant, Fayth was forced to make the worst decision asked of a mother, and handed her youngest son over to fellow Miralukan refugees Mart and Veila Lhaan, in an effort to preserve as much of her family as possible. This Miralukan couple had sold everything to make the money to get themselves off the planet.

Shortly afterwards, Lucien and Fayth hid their other son [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] away, and died trying to protect themselves and others.

That is the history that took over 20 years for Mirado to learn.

==== Trip to Dantooine ====
At the age of 5, well into the swing of the building of the New Republic, his father had gotten work and could live outside of the sage house. At work in the used speeder lot, Mart Lhaan called into the broadcast station to ask that his wife's favorite song be played. He hadn't heard the cue previously aired, and wound up winning a contest to visit one of the planetary preserve parks.

While on one of the hiking trips, the entire expedition was attacked by a large group of mercenary raiders. Mirado was the only survivor, and has no clue as to why it happened. He was entirely too busy running and hiding.

==== The Crystal Caves ====
[[File:Crystal_caves.jpg|thumb|155px|left|The Crystal Caves of Dantooine]]
While on the run, Mirado happened upon the crystal caves, and wandered in. While hiding out there, he encountered the Force Spirit of his grandfather, a Jedi Knight who was killed during the [[starwars:Battle_of_Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]]. He explained to Mirado that because of the resonant energy of the Force and his familial connection with his grandson, he could appear and communicate with the young boy.

==== Living as a wild child ====
With his grandfather's tutelage and whatever scraps and salvage he could find, Mirado spent several years learning all about the natural world around him, and occasionally killing and eating it as well. If it weren't for the occasional visits by the Force Spirit, Mirado would have likely gone completely insane and totally feral, but these visits helped keep him grounded and aware. In addition to keeping him company, Mirado's grandfather also helped to maintain his education, and spent considerable time training the young boy in the ways of the Force. These lessons would serve to help the boy in his quest to survive.

=== Teenage Years ===

==== Hunting a more dangerous prey ====
Around 25 ABY, Mirado was out hunting for his dinner, and had spent considerable time stalking a small pack of [[starwars:Kath_hound|Kath Hounds]]. While he waited, a group of speeders swept in and began lighting up the area with blaster rifles. Startled, and extremely hungry, he waited just long enough for them to stop shooting before attacking.

He managed to kill four of them before he was blindsided with a [[starwars:Stokhli_spray_stick|Stokhli Spray Stick]]. When he came to, he was sitting manacled to a chair in the cargo hold of a ship. It was several hours of beating before he was even addressed, and when he finally was, it was made clear to him that he'd assaulted the personal retinue of the Devaronian gangster Olhel Noona. It was only because he'd killed four blaster armed people using sharp scraps of speeder wreckage in such a short time that he was going to be kept alive.

To repay their mercy, he would become their own personal bounty hunter.

==== Gearing up ====
The first chance that was gotten, Olhel took Venator (an ancient word for Hunter, and far more intimidating if you asked Olhel) to a back alley cybersurgeon and had cosmetic eye implants lodged into the 15 year old boy's skull. The fortunate and beneficial thing was that without connecting them to Mirado's brain and nervous system Olhel would save a considerable percentage from the cost of surgery, and Mirado would keep his natural Force Sight ability.

As part of a cultivated image, Mirado's back, arms, legs, and some of his chest carry a spiderlike tribal tattoo. This is not something he agreed to however. He wears most often a sleeveless vest with metal hook and eye closures, very wide legged pants which he keeps tucked into his 3/4 knee length combat boots, and a blackened nexu hide coat, this also sleeveless and carrying hook and eye closures.

=== Early Adulthood to Present ===
Mirado spent a considerable amount of time serving as a [[starwars:Bounty_Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] for the Olhel Noona gang. During this time he collected several bounties for the crime lord, which amounted to several scalps for his collection as Olhel rarely bothered with keeping live prisoners.

One very unique hunt was for the live capture and return of one Zeltron woman named [[Masika]]. She'd managed to con over half a million credits from the Noona crime family, and had gone on the run. Mirado tracked her to Corellia, but when he finally caught up to her, the Noona gang had already been killed. During the attempt to capture her, however, Mirado nearly choked her to death, permanently damaging her vocal cords, turning her from a Soprano to an Alto.

Mirado left Olhel's employ rather abruptly, to say the least. Acting on the orders of [[Trevarus Caerick|Trev]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Sai]] traveled to Noona's hideout at the time on [[starwars:ession|Ession]] and killed the entirety of the gang, save for Mirado who was on assignment to retrieve Masika on Corellia. As far as the galaxy knew, or cared for that matter, Olhel Noona was dead.

Mirado returned to Ession, only to discover a hooded man waiting on him. Expecting he was next to be killed, Mirado decided not to go without a fight, succeeding in scoring only a small cut on the man who would later be his Quaestor and Consul, before he was knocked very handily upside the head with the Rod of Correction. It wasn't until much later that Mirado awoke on Tarthos, and discovered just exactly where he'd been taken. As of the moment, Mirado is still unaware that Sai was responsible for bringing him into the fold, or that Trev gave the order to make it happen.

=== Unrest in the City ===

==== Seeking Deliverance ====
Mirado wasn't originally deployed to the conflict with [[Deliverance]], but when things turned south, he was sent out to assist his clanmates. As he geared up for this conflict, he was asked to deliver a package to [[Fremoc Pepoi|Fremoc]]. To this day, he has no idea where it came from originally, or what good it did, but he did as asked and delivered it before engaging Deliverance with the rest of his clanmates.

==== The Ekind Uprising ====
Later, during the assault on [[Mucenic]] he was tasked with guiding his soon to be Master [[Macron]] to the command center from his landing zone, and to move with the Night Hawks to make a push to put their Ekind and Vongspawned armies into artillery range.

Following the battle of Mucenic, Mirado was tasked with entering [[Markosian City]] alone as a forward scout for the rest of the Clan. While there, he found a few other Clanmates, including one [[Roxas Buurenaar|Roxas]] who'd taken a serious beating at the hands of an unknown assailant. Mirado drug Roxas to the resistance for treatment, inadvertently giving the armed citizens the leader they needed.

Also during the battle of Markosian City, Mirado made something of an alliance with a [[starwars:Hawk-bat|Hawkbat]] from the local zoo when he released all of the Zoo's inhabitants to assist with the battle. He's named the creature Shrike and is training it, though he refuses to use it as anything more than a hunting companion.

==== In the Interim ====
After the battle of Markosian city, Fremoc requested Mirado remain an ace in the hole in the event that his friends were overwhelmed in the line of duty protecting his family. During this time, his hide was noticed by Kano, and some time afterwards, wound up finding the man after the events of a voodoo ritual he'd performed. Both of these things remained secrets between the two of them. Also during this time, Mirado was appointed the Prefect of [[Gamuslag]], earning him the Rank and Title of D:SOG commander, and thus putting him on Gamuslag on a more permanent basis.

Coming soon!

===== Learning a Lightsaber can be useful, Pt 2. Soresu =====
{{Quote|Where's the part where you kill the guy?|Mirado}}

After the assault, Mirado spent some time training under Methyas in the lightsaber form [[starwars:soresu|Soresu]], to compliment his limited mastery of the [[starwars:makashi|Makashi]] form. In exchange, he taught Methyas how to withdraw more fully his 'Fountain of the Force' technique by way of Teras Kasi meditation techniques, which permitted the elder Miraluka to see far more clearly than he had before, up to being able to visually see the Emboss letters used for visually impaired accessibility. In addition, he is also helping Methyas learn to read.

==== A House Divided ====
Following assignment to command the Raptor team of the Regulators, Mirado and the rest of the Battleteam were assigned to support Macron and his retinue in killing Curwen Sunei. En route, their orders were countered by the newly appointed Fist of the Brotherhood, Fremoc Pepoi. Sunei came peacefully, but performed some warlockery while being brought to the Temple of Fire, leaving the team incapacitated.

Following some misadventure that involved some beatings being taken and dished out, the Regulators made their assault on Curwen Sueni, and were quickly joined by Macron Sadow and his retinue. The final result was, Sunei was dead, but, so was Kano, at Fremoc's hand, following the Regulator's possession by Sunei.

==== Disorder ====
{{Quote|"''Hey, you know what this feels like?"

"Don't Say it..."

"The blind leading the blind."

"You had to go there, didn't you?''"|Mirado to Methyas while searching for Holocrons}}

(More to come)

=== Personal Effects ===
{{Quote|Don’t worry about the money. I don’t even have an account. I just make, borrow or steal what I need.|Mirado}}

[[File:AssassinObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's 'Work Clothes']]
[[File:BlizzardObelisk.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Formal Clothes']]
[[File:PeacekeeperObeliskCloak.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's 'Day to Day Clothes']]
There's very little that Mirado can say he actually owns. A few sets of knives mostly, a couple of plain clothes outfits, a suit, and that's pretty well it. His statement to Fremoc however, is an outright lie. He has access to some of Olhel Noona's old accounts, the sum of which is quite considerable. He just cares almost nothing for money, and keeps these finances on hand in the event of an emergency.

Aside of these things, the only notable things he has attachment to are Shrike, his pet Hawkbat, which should never under any circumstances be considered trained, domesticated, or even docile. The creature is less an animal companion, and more of an ally with mutual goals. In addition, there is a droid he was recently given, TZ-63b, a Handicapped Assistance Droid, specifically built for the blind. It was a gift given to him by [[Kano Tor Pepoi|Kano]], and with it's origins and designation in mind, he's taken to calling it Tease.

Tease remains within his office on Gamuslag, which is appointed in a way which might make the term Spartan seem too lavish. The only real concession within is a top of the line holoplate projector, used for both computing (along with an Emboss keyboard), communication and entertainment.

[[File:Venator%27s_Razors.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Fighting weapons]]
[[File:Venator%27s_trench_knives.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Mirado's Heavy weapons]]
[[File:VensTacticalKnives.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's Basic weapons]]
Mirado was granted limited access to a small machine shop while in Noona's employ, where he spent time shaping and honing his handmade knives into a pair of crescent shaped razors. These leather handled knives carry small lanyards of trinkets he's collected over the years. Recently, after receiving a gift from his master, the leather wrapping his razors are red dyed [[starwars:Gungan|Gungan]] tongues.

Later, during his time within the brotherhood, Mirado also fabricated another pair of knives, these a bit more utilitarian, to take advantage of his expanding knowledge of hand to hand combat. These blades were somewhat shorter, but carried an outer hand guard with wicked serrations. In addition, the handles of which also held a pair of sharpened throwing darts for surprise attacks and long range distraction. Recently, he's taken to keeping these darts poisoned, a departure of a previous attitude of rarely using the stuff. This comes from engagements in combat where, had he not kept poisoned weapons, he would have been killed by his enemies. These also carry red wrapped handles.

In addition to these paired weapons, Mirado also carries a basic vibroblade, which he has trained to use in concert with his lightsaber.

His lightsaber is a unique device, originally built from scraps within the Orian tombs as part of his Knight's trials. It contains pieces made from cast offs and scraps, but the important parts are inside the weapon. Made with a natural blue adegean and a diamond, it produces a slightly prismatic translucent blade, with less of the "white light" shaft in the center of the blade, and a blade of a slightly richer blue color, very close to an ultramarine shade. Following his trials, he replaced much of the 'garbage' components he had to make do with, and built something more in line with his personality, including leather wrappings and an animal tooth on the pommel.

In addition, there are certain features installed within that he keeps quiet about, for good reason. First and foremost, the switch on the hilt of the weapon only allows a small portion of power to flow through, effectively turning it into a training saber unless the real, internal switch is activated by way of the Force. This is a dual safety measure. For one, it prevents it from being used against him at full power, and also, should it be recovered on a battlefield, an ally is FAR less likely to kill themselves accidentally. In addition, beneath the red leather wrappings on the hilt is a grip lock, meaning it will immediately disignite if dropped.

This saber is also a departure from the norm for his use of the Makashi form, as it is a straight hilted weapon. This decision was founded on the theory that while curved hilted sabers are more common among Brotherhood members, it's still far more likely that, should he lose his lightsaber, it will be much more likely to recover a straight handled saber from the dead.

[[File:SavageSithBlue.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Mirado's first lightsaber]]
While he hates, loathes, and despises blasters, he does own one. It's a small [[starwars:Hold-out_blaster|Hold Out]], of the extremely high power variety, which only holds charge for a single shot. He carries this only when hunting another assassin, as a show of respect. He will give them the blaster to end their own life with, so that they can go out on their own terms and with their dignity. To date, this weapon has never been fired, and charged only once.

Mirado keeps a permanant residence on Gamuslag, though he stays there very infrequently, as he considers the planet filthy and uncomfortable. In addition, he has a permanent home in the Pepoi compound near [[Mucenic]]. It is one of the homes found in the Kashyyyk Arms housing community, but built into his family's homestead.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Non-Combat Skills ===
Mirado can be considered an expert in these Non-Combat skills

# Acrobatics and Gymnastics
# Stealth
# Survival
# Hunting and Tracking
# Sleight of Hand
# Simple Items Crafting (Basic knives, clothing, etc.)
# Poisons
# Dance
# (To be added when I figure out what I want here)

=== Unarmed Combat ===

[[K'thri]]: Mirado uses K'thri more of a mobility art than he does an actual combat art. By taking advantage of the movements that K'thri trains it's users in, Mirado can evade his opponent's attacks through unorthodox methods, leaving them open to being struck in undefended places.

[[Teras Kasi]]: This is Mirado's primary striking form. Utilizing the very linear form, Mirado is able to land devastating strikes against his opponent. This is made all the more dangerous as he uses K'thri movements, so his foes don't expect such straight line attacks.

=== Armed Combat ===
Aside of the lightsaber, Mirado utilizes a paired knife approach, and can be considered a master in the use of a short blade. Given his reckless nature, he has overcome the difficulty of most knife fighters, that being the fear of being cut. Because of this, and because of his reach, he can and will come at an opponent in both close range and at reach. Often he will use feinting techniques, but is also known to use his strength to push his opponent's own weapons away and land a simultaneous strike with both weapons.

=== Lightsaber Combat ===
Mirado has some experience with the [[Makashi]] form, and is skilled with [[Soresu]]. He has been studying considerably in regards to the [[Sokan]] form, to the point of working out his own take on it. He has combined his ambidexterity with his knowledge of K'thri to fight Lightsaber/Vibroblade in a very dynamic, movement oriented style. While this doesn't begin to compare to the real thing, it is, at least, a start, until he can locate training in both Ataru and Sokan itself.

=== Force Powers ===
Among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Mirado can be seen as something of a child in terms of his power within the Force. In fact, there are novices and apprentices who's abilities with the Force far outstrip his own. This hasn't stopped him, however, from getting creative with his use of the Force.

# Withdraw Force Signature: Not a power, and similar to a voluntary self Force suppression, this is a very common trick among the Jedi. By electing not to channel the Force, or live in constant contact with it, Mirado's Force signature is much more withdrawn than others. In addition, this limits his natural Miraluka 'Force Sight' to that of one of his species with no Force Training whatsoever, meaning he's fairly limited to basic shape and whether or not something is organic. Among members of the Brotherhood, Mirado maintains his connection (mostly because he expects treachery)
# Slow Fall: A trick used by many of his brethren, this is simply an application of telekinesis, used to arrest a fall. Simply, at the end of a fall, he Force pushes against the ground to telekinetically 'bounce' himself, cutting his downward velocity. So far, his courage in testing this ability has proven a 5 or 6 story building is a possible leap, but with some discomfort on impact. Given his reckless nature, however, he will likely be testing his limits and timing with this power for some time to come.
# Wall Run and Wall Spring: Enhance Ability applied to increase his balance, coordination, and speed, allows Mirado to temporarily defy gravity to a degree, taking advantage of surfaces that his opponents might not consider.
While Mirado does have an understanding of a decent suite of Force Powers, he tends towards more 'internal' powers, such as Enhance Ability, Force Jump, and Burst of Speed. The blessings of Sadow (Heart Stun and Force Blast) he tends to keep up his sleeve, using them only when they can be applied to devastating effect.

== Character Trivia ==
Because he is a Miraluka, Mirado cannot read print. If text is embossed or relieved, he can read that, but actual print is beyond his ability to perceive. The same goes for using a datapad or computer. Further, he is effectively colorblind, although energy which has a color (IE Lightsabers, Blaster Bolts, Opaque energy fields, and the like) is visible to him. In addition, Force Resistant or Force Dead creatures or people are almost invisible to him.

Mirado refuses to use blasters of any type, due to early childhood trauma. He's very uncomfortable around blaster fire because of this.

Also, he's not fond of armor, as he feels entirely too bound down by it.

While it's easy to write him off as feral, he DID spend time among other people while functioning as a bounty hunter. He is civilized, but he still prefers to be outdoors and away from crowds.

Owing to his time in the wild, Mirado's senses are well honed and he's very accustomed to relying on them. It's exceptionally difficult to surprise or sneak up on him.

Mirado isn't fond of speaking much, but he is willing to speak out and up when it must be done. He just isn't fond of small talk.

Vocally, Mirado is a baritone.

Women are a peculiar weakness of his. He's not lusty at all, but he never had the kind of availability of anyone to teach him how to handle being come onto. Because of this, he can become even more withdrawn than usual, and somewhat easy to confuse or misdirect.

Mirado has a habit of claiming scalps, but he only collects them from foes which have injured him or have otherwise impressed him. This is his only real claim to taking trophies, aside of lightsabers of those who he's defeated.

He has a lifelong goal of hunting and killing a [[starwars:Krayt_Dragon|Krayt Dragon]], using no technology in the hunt until it's time to transport the carcass of the beast.

He refuses to wear the traditional Miraluka eye-wraps. Mostly because he knows nothing at all of Miralukan tradition. The only time he actually cares to wrap his eyes is in the most formal of situations.

== OOC Trivia ==
Some of the influences I had in building this character's personality, mannerisms, and attitude are...

* Batman (His use of Martial arts, disuse of firearms, and stealthiness)
* Wolverine (the feral behavior, stealthiness, lack of social grace, and general lack of speaking much)
* Tarzan (again the feral behavior, and the way he moves, to a degree)
* Riddick (again the stealthiness, his use of knives, seeing differently, and his peculiar sense of humor and social mannerisms)
* Henchman 21 (his not recognizing that he's capable of standing on his own yet, even though he can certainly hold his own) See below.

I've taken to adding one Non-Combat skill per rank, just an experiment I'm working on.

Originally, he was meant to be named Predator, but I wasn't able to use that name, so I chose the Latin word for hunter, unwittingly naming him after a Star Destroyer, and I'm too stubborn to change it.

Up until about 10/31/2010, I was torn between Shien and Sokan as the form I would build Ven for. This was finally decided, on the day I made Knight, by flipping a quarter.

My character was knighted in 144 days... definitely nothing impressive, but I felt it necessary to list it here.

Before I joined, I poked around the wiki and saw a lot of Mandalorians and a lot of Japanese cultured names, so I decided to go more Native American with him. This might have had something to do with watching Avatar a week before I signed up.

The decision to avoid blasters is peculiar for me, as I'm a firearms enthusiast. I did this as something of an experiment to see if I could pull it off, and so far, I think I did alright.

I made a goal of earning a diamond crescent, and I received my notification of earning one by way of my smart phone, when I'd just woken up from a late shift at work. My excitement unnerved my wife and woke up my son. I still feel like a goober for that.

As I've developed the character, I ran into this "Henchman 21" kinda groove with him, where he's this capable fighter and all, but still sees himself as just another thug in somebody's employ. Props to whoever gets this reference.

'''The Gilded Archipelago''' is an Aeotheran city being built by experimental means. Using refugees local to the system, a ready pool of labor has been gathered to build the Crown Jewel of Aeotheran, the Gilded Archipelago. This City is built under the new Sadow Directive, specifically by House Shar Dakhan, as the financial arm of the Clan. Working hand in hand with the Dlarit Corporation, the plan for the city is one of the economic enhancement through local business.

==Overview==
The Gilded Archipelago is a chain of over 45 islands within a cluster approximately 13,000 square kilometers. Only 15 of these islands however, are larger than a decent sized residental subdivision. These 15 islands are zoned for hotels, businesses, restaurants, and sundry other 'tourist' stops. The largest island is something of a major hub, sitting very roughly center in the island cluster. It boasts a very well appointed, and very large starport, capable of handling even the largest of transport yachts, a few very high profile skyscrapers, hotels, upscale restaurants, couture shopping, and many public transportation hubs.

Approximately 15 meters below sea level are transparisteel covered speeder roads which permit very quick and effecient travel between the different districts within the islands.

=== Resources and Utilities ===

==== Power ====
The Gilded Archipelago is supplied by much the same types of systems as [[Kel Rasha]].

Tidal Energy: Tied to the local desalination centers are tidal energy plants, allowing for less use of space to provide multiple services.

Geothermal Energy: Below the repulsor tethers lies a massive geothermal plant. This plant, called the Sub-Aquatic Geothermal Energy Collection Station by Dlarit, and Solitary Confinement by employees, is largely droid operated, with sapient employees working 6 months on, 6 months off, due to the extreme isolation and boredom. This facility contains 10 levels, mostly operations, though the top floor, which is the largest, boasts comfortable dormitories, a stocked galley, and exercise facilities, all under a shield supported transparisteel dome. There are rumors that the lift system was built for more than 10 floors, and the system shows evidence of having traveled farther than the official maintenance logs list.

The truth is, levels 11 through 13 are set up as training facilities dedicated specifically to the Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan and those deigned worthy. In addition, known only to the House Quaestor, there exists a Level 14, which is something of a Panic room. There are non-perishable supplies enough to wait out almost a full year (though a good portion of that time would wisely be spent in a hibernation trance.)

==== Food ====
70% of the foodstuffs found in the Gilded Archipelago are imported from Kel Rasha, while the remainder are imported through the Dlarit Hospitalities division. Only .5% is locally caught or grown, that mostly from private fishermen and small gardeners.

==History==
As it happens, it shall be added.

==Points of Interest==
===Jewel’s Crown Islands===

The center islands amidst the cluster, Jewel’s Crown contains the largest among the group. Around 1260 square kilometers total, Jewel’s Crown houses the largest starport, several luxury hotels, high quality restaurants, shopping malls, and massive stretches of beach. When tourists come to the Archipelago, this is where they stay.

====Jewel's Crown Nature Park====
[[file:Jewel's Crown Nature Park.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The Nature Park]]
Covering about 5 square kilometers on the largest of the Crown cluster, this park was built to mimic the natural beauty of Aeotheran. The area has no real hiking trails, but that doesn't stop people from coming to check the place out. Kresshian Studios has already used this location several times for one of their holoprograms, and donates considerable sums of money to keeping the place clean and maintained.

===Residential Islands===
Where the locals live, these islands were carefully manufactured with specific dimensions in mind, but ran through a randomizing algorithm to maintain a natural look.

====Subdivision Islands====
30 of the residential islands are rather large, and built to accommodate several dozen homes capable of sustaining families of up to six or eight. In addition, these islands also contain support locations, such as schools, hospitals, fuel stations, grocery stores, and small strip malls. More like a small city than a neighborhood, each of these islands has it’s own name, and residents tend to identify themselves based upon that more than anything else.

====Individual Islands====
10 of the islands are smaller, and contain only a single large home built in a sleek, contemporary style. This is where the Executive Director’s home is located, as well as a small number of Dlarit executives. Ownership of one of these islands is a costly endeavor, and the home built upon it is not part of a package deal. That being said, a buyer can most certainly finance both the island and the home upon it through Dlarit in one go.

====Private Islands====
Exactly that. There are 5 private islands, made to support a rather large manor home, as well as several small satellite buildings and a transport landing area. Two locations have already been built by Dlarit with specific residents in mind.

* The Keibatsu Family. This location was built with native Kyataran architecture, and landscaped with plants native to the same.

* Taldryan Dignitaries. This location was built to the specifications of the House Summit of IH Taldryan. This location is NOT considered sovereign Taldryan soil, however, but is guarded on the inside by Taldryan forces.
