Haro Zylrun was born at 03:06 on April 13th, 20 ABY to Parun and Akaata Zylrun, two members of a community of a hundred or so Mandalorians who were working to rebuild Mandalore's capital city of [[starwars:Sundari|Sundari]]. The number of Mandalorians was steadily growing, as around two or three Mandos arrived to the village every month.

Soon after Haro turned four, he got a younger brother named Jhefi. He tried to be a good example for his new brother, such as eating all his food, using the ''oshokita'' by himself, and helping with chores around the house.

Haro grew quickly, and at the age of five he started blaster training. He often came home and told his brother what he had learned, even though Jhefi was too young to understand what he was talking about. In the months after, he trained as often as he could, though he always had time for a game of ''get'shuk'' with the other ''adiike''.

At seven years old, Haro started his training with explosives. His uncle Jifo brought him to the old city to see how they were using bombs to clear away the green crystal covering the ruins, and shown some of the other equipment being used to break up the crystal. He got to set some charges (with supervision from the other adults there) and detonate them to see how powerful the explosives were. He was told how every month, a different third of the adults in the community was assigned to work on clearing the crystal, and how they rotated between three groups throughout the years. Eventually, he had to go home, but he stealthily stole a thermal detonator to show his younger brother.

He took him to a secluded location and activated the thermal detonator, throwing it as far as he could. However, instead of landing and exploding where they both could see it, like he intended it to, the grenade fell into a cave and exploded, waking up a sleeping [[starwars:Shriek-hawk|''jai'galaar'']]. The creature flew out of the cave and grabbed both brothers before trying to fly away.

The creature flew out of the cave and grabbed both brothers before trying to fly away.


Before it could bring them too far, however, Haro drew his knife and stabbed the foot that was carrying him. The shriek-hawk dropped him, and he fell fifty feet, landing on his face and arm. The resulting injuries included a broken nose, broken arm, and three broken ribs, as well as several lacerations and a broken toe. He quickly got to his feet to try and follow the creature, but it passed out of sight quickly. He limped back to the village and woke his parents, explaining the situation. They sounded the alarm and assembled a search team to rescue Jhefi. They told Haro to head to the infirmary, but he refused, stating that it was his fault this happened in the first place, so it was his duty to help resolve it, even with his injuries.

The rescue team boarded Akaata's Kom'rk, and Haro helped navigate them in the direction he last saw the jai'galaar heading. It didn't take too long to find the nest and rescue Jhefi, and they arrived back at the village just as the sun came up.

Haro spent a month and a half in the infirmary healing from his wounds, which he hated, as it meant he couldn't train, which felt like torture to him. While he was in the infirmary, Jifo berated him for stealing the detonator, but Haro's father stopped him after a couple of days, saying that he'd already had his punishment. Haro eventually healed from his wounds, but his nose didn't end up completely straight. He also apologized to Jhefi several times, but he still feels bad about it to this day.

Every year at the settlement, the community held a small-scale Great Hunt, where a team of five Mandos were given three days to hide anywhere they could get to without the use of technology. After the three days were up, five more teams were sent out and given a week to find and bring back the hiding team. Whichever hunting team brought the hiding team back before the seven days were up won the title of Huntmaster within the community for a year, as well as all the credits lost in bets on which team would win. If the hiding team survived the seven days without being found, they were given the credits instead, and won the title Dha Werda Verd until the next Hunt.

In 29 ABY, when that year's Hunt had just begun, and the hunters were bound to set out the next morning, Haro, who was too young to participate but wanted to anyway, hatched a plan. He would sneak out, find the hiders, and bring them back to the village all on his own, gaining a ton of fame in the process. So he packed up some haashun, a few bottles of water, his knife, and an uj cake; and set out to find the hiders.

It didn't take long for him to be caught, as Jifo spotted him trying to sneak between houses and brought him back, giving him a stern talking-to all the way to his parents' house. That, however, didn't stop him from trying to sneak out the next night, and the next, until finally, on the fourth day, Jifo wanted to see what he would do, so he left the village. And so, Haro finally set off with the intent of finding the hiders.

Instead of learning his lesson, though, he set out again the next night, this time successfully avoiding being seen. He brought more supplies with him, as well as his family's strill, a gray-furred, playful animal by the name of Daven to keep him company and help him out of rough spots. However, shortly after noon that day, he was found by a hunting team who were returning victorious, and they escorted him, red-faced, back to the village.

On his twelfth birthday, Haro was given the choice of joining a large portion of the Mandalorians in the settlement in following the Way of the Mandalore. He refused, however, preferring to join with his family in their beliefs instead of distancing himself from them.
Soon after, Haro began training with more advanced Mandalorian equipment, such as ''beskar'gam'', a jetpack, vambraces, and even a pair of crushgaunts. He took to the crushgaunts quickly, but the rest required more training to acclimate to. He got used to the jetpack's controls after a week, and loved the freedom and ease of movement it gave him. The vambraces took him another week, and the armor took him almost a whole month to get accustomed to.
Soon after that, Haro started a fight club among the adiike near his age, in an otherwise unused cave not far from the settlement. In this fight club, he had two randomly selected people from in attendance fight, and the first one to tap out, shed blood, or sustain a moderate injury such as a sprain lost. The other children could bet on who would win with random ''kebise'' such as pieces of trinitite, scraps of cloth, and even sometimes actual credits. Haro fought more often than the other children, a fact which was remarked upon several times by the other children but explained away with the fact that he started the club, so he should get the privilege of fighting more.
The club ran twice a week for three and a half months before Parun found out and shut it down. In that time, Haro had won almost a hundred credits from the other children. Parun, seeing the disappointment of the children who had been participating in it, instead instated a more legitimate fight club in the village for the children old enough to have their own ''beskar'gam'', but he got rid of the betting, instead creating a points system for wins and losses.
When anyone first joined the club, they were given ten points. If they defeated their opponent in a match, they gained a point from their opponent. Everyone had a fair chance to be chosen to fight, and there could be more than one fight happenning at a time. Once, there were even as much as eleven fights happening at once. On the sixteenth birthday, a Mando would be ineligible to fight anymore, and their points would be exchanged for an equivalent amount of credits.
When Haro reached this milestone, he was awarded two hundred fifteen credits, a record unbroken as of yet. He decided to join the ''ramikade'', and began the specialized training. His best friend Nu'do Galaar trained alongside him, and together, they joined the ranks of the ''ramikade'' a year later. They weren't dispatched often, and spent most of their time sparring amongst themselves, until at nineteen years old, Haro decided he wanted something more, and left ''Manda'yaim'' for the first time. Nu'do remained on the planet, too content with his current life to leave.
His mother flew him to Coruscant, where he began making credits by serving in the planet's military. He rose through the ranks quickly, becoming a commander after his third battle and subsequent victory. After nine months in the military, he met a Zabrak Mandalorian named Juda Graves in a cantina during a break. Juda told him about a large community called the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, which he was a member of, and directed him to Zsoldos. Intrigued, Haro requested leave and, when it was granted, took a shuttle to Zsoldos to investigate this "Clan Vizsla" Juda had told him about. He found the Clan to be better than the Zabrak had described, and sent notice to the Coruscant military that he would be resigning from his position to pursue an alternate career. He then joined Clan Vizsla, quickly falling into place with the credit-focused combat-heavy community.

Character History

Summary

Haro Zylrun was born on Mandalore to Parun and Akaata Zylrun. He has a younger brother named Jhefi, and a baby sister named Ruusaan. He joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood on his twentieth birthday. He is now twenty-three years old, and an active member of Clan Vizsla.

Early Life

Haro Zylrun was born at 03:06 on April 13th, 20 ABY to Parun and Akaata Zylrun, two members of a community of a hundred or so Mandalorians who were working to rebuild Mandalore's capital city of Sundari. The number of Mandalorians was steadily growing, as around two or three Mandos arrived to the village every month.

Haro started his training early, as with all born Mandos, being taught weapon safety while he was still in a birikad. He started his training in knife fighting and martial arts at the age of three and a half, only a couple years after learning to walk.

Soon after Haro turned four, he got a younger brother named Jhefi. He tried to be a good example for his new brother, such as eating all his food, using the oshokita by himself, and helping with chores around the house.

Haro grew quickly, and at the age of five he started blaster training. He often came home and told his brother what he had learned, even though Jhefi was too young to understand what he was talking about. In the months after, he trained as often as he could, though he always had time for a game of get'shuk with the other adiike.

A Dangerous Accident

At seven years old, Haro started his training with explosives. His uncle Jifo brought him to the old city to see how they were using bombs to clear away the trinitite covering the ruins, and shown some of the other equipment being used to break up the crystal. He got to set some charges (with supervision from the other adults there) and detonate them to see how powerful the explosives were. He was told how every month, a different third of the adults in the community was assigned to work on clearing the trinitite, and how they rotated between three groups throughout the years. Eventually, he had to go home, but he stealthily stole a thermal detonator to show his younger brother. At night, Haro woke Jhefi and brought him to the mine to show him the pilfered explosive. He took him to a secluded location and activated the thermal detonator, throwing it as far as he could. However, instead of landing and exploding where they both could see it, like he intended it to, the grenade fell into a cave and exploded, waking up a sleeping jai'galaar. The creature flew out of the cave and grabbed both brothers before trying to fly away.

Before it could bring them too far, however, Haro drew his knife and stabbed the foot that was carrying him. The shriek-hawk dropped him, and he fell fifty feet, landing on his face and arm. The resulting injuries included a broken nose, broken arm, and three broken ribs, as well as several lacerations and a broken toe.

The rescue team boarded Akaata's Kom'rk, and Haro helped navigate them in the direction he last saw the jai'galaar heading. It didn't take too long to find the nest and rescue Jhefi, and they arrived back at the village just as the sun came up.

Haro spent a month and a half in the infirmary healing from his wounds, which he hated, as it meant he couldn't train, which felt like torture to him. While he was in the infirmary, Jifo berated him for stealing the detonator, but Haro's father stopped him after a couple of days, saying that he'd already had his punishment. Haro eventually healed from his wounds, but his nose didn't end up completely straight. He also apologized to Jhefi several times, but he still feels bad about it to this day.

The Hunt Fiasco

Every year at the settlement, the community held a small-scale Great Hunt, where a team of five Mandos were given three days to hide anywhere they could get to without the use of technology. After the three days were up, five more teams were sent out and given a week to find and bring back the hiding team. Whichever hunting team brought the hiding team back before the seven days were up won the title of Huntmaster within the community for a year, as well as all the credits lost in bets on which team would win. If the hiding team survived the seven days without being found, they were given the credits instead, and won the title Dha-Werda Verd until the next Hunt.

In 29 ABY, when that year's Hunt had just begun, and the hunters were bound to set out the next morning, Haro, who was too young to participate but wanted to anyway, hatched a plan. He would sneak out, find the hiders, and bring them back to the village all on his own, gaining a ton of fame in the process. So he packed up some haashun, a few bottles of water, his knife, and an uj cake; and set out to find the hiders.

It didn't take long for him to be caught, as Jifo spotted him trying to sneak between houses and brought him back, giving him a stern talking-to all the way to his parents' house. That, however, didn't stop him from trying to sneak out the next night, and the next, until finally, on the fourth day, Jifo wanted to see what he would do, so he left the village. And so, Haro finally set off with the intent of finding the hiders.

Jifo explained the situation to Parun, and they decided to stealthily tail him to find out what he would do. Haro had no idea he was being followed as he traveled across the crystal surface in his search. He quickly ran out of water, then food, and on his second day out, he fell into a pit. By 'sheer chance' as he thought at the time, his dad and uncle were nearby, and they rescued him and brought him back home. He had a couple of injuries from the fall, such as a split lip and bruised knee, but he recovered quickly.

Instead of learning his lesson, though, he set out again the next night, this time successfully avoiding being seen. He brought more supplies with him, as well as his family's strill, a gray-furred, playful animal by the name of Daven to keep him company and help him out of rough spots. However, shortly after noon that day, he was found by a hunting team who were returning victorious, and they escorted him, red-faced, back to the village.

Competitive Fighter

On his twelfth birthday, Haro was given the choice of joining a large portion of the Mandalorians in the settlement in following the Way of the Mandalore. He refused, however, preferring to join with his family in their beliefs instead of distancing himself from them.

Soon after, Haro began training with more advanced Mandalorian equipment, such as beskar'gam, a jetpack, vambraces, and even a pair of crushgaunts. He took to the crushgaunts quickly, but the rest required more training to acclimate to. He got used to the jetpack's controls after a week, and loved the freedom and ease of movement it gave him. The vambraces took him another week, and the armor took him almost a whole month to get accustomed to.

On the sixteenth birthday, a Mando would be ineligible to fight anymore, and their points would be exchanged for an equivalent amount of credits.

When Haro reached this milestone, he was awarded two hundred fifteen credits, a record unbroken as of yet. He decided to join the ramikade, and began the specialized training. His best friend Nu'do Galaar trained alongside him, and together, they joined the ranks of the ramikade a year later.
