Character History

Childhood

Auran Dath was born on Iktotch in 10 ABY to a loving family. He grew up in a happy home with two brothers and a sister. When he was 6, his parents noticed that he had potential in the Force. Remembering the stories of the Jedis of the Old Republic, they recognized that Auran would never reach his full potential learning to be a nerf farmer as his fathers before him. Auran was sent to the Shadow Academy to learn under the masters of the Dark Side as the Daths considered Luke Skywalker to be a kook and fraud.

Shadow Academy

At the Shadow Academy, Auran would adapt very quickly. He was naturally competitive and rose to the top of his class. He would post some high scores in the quarterstaff, setting an Academy record that would not be broken for three years by James Roberts-Brannigan. As an Initiate, he proved himself to be one of the most promising force users to come through the Academy in years. He relished his celebrity status at the Academy, taking on all comers in the ring and defeating them.

House Revan

Completing his Academy Trials a year ahead of schedule, Auran was given his choice of Houses. He chose Revan, believing it to be the best of all houses given the low number of Journeymen they accepted. At House Revan, he proved himself to be a good, dependable Journeyman and was assigned to more and more difficult missions. He was on track to becoming the fastest Dark Jedi Knight since Raken.

Shards of a Lingering Darkness

The Merciless, where Auran died.

Auran Dath was one of the Journeymen chosen to accompany Eiko Lanzer to the ancient Sith battle cruiser Merciless. He would be the point man for Lambow and James Roberts-Brannigan as they proceeded to the bridge. He proved himself to be proficient with a lightsaber when engaged in combat with the droids protecting the Merciless.

After fighting droids and finding an apparent safe route to the bridge, his party ran into Thran Occasus and two other members of Scholae Palatinae. In the fighting that followed, Auran Dath proved himself again in battle against Xantros, leaving a scar on the young Duro's face. Suddenly, the room would be full of blaster fire from the droids who had been watching the battle. In the chaos that ensued, James would be caught in the open. Auran Dath rushed to him, using his lightsaber to deflect the bolts coming at them. Auran brought James precious seconds to run to the safety of Lambow before he was cut down, the flurry of bolts to much for him.

James was horrified by the death of Auran, distressed that he froze in battle and Auran paid the ultimate price for James's mistake. After James became Aedile, his first official act was to award Auran Dath an Anteian Cross and send it to Auran's parents, explaining to them that their son died a true hero.

Characteristics

Physical Description

Auran was an Iktotchi, standing at 5'11". He wore the traditional black and grey robes, not really paying attention to fashion. He spent his years in the Academy strength training to fully utilize the Iktotchi advantage of brute force. He was very muscular and strong as a bull. He would routinely win nerf running races, where the competitors would hoist a nerf on their shoulders and run a predetermined distance.

Personality

Auran was proud, which sometimes came across as arrogance. He was naturally competitive and very competent. He was the first of his class and was able to complete his Academy Trials a year ahead. This earned him the choice of any House or Clan he wanted. Auran was very loyal to his fellow Revanites, something that instilled in him from day one in the House. The House demanded loyalty from their members more than a typical Clan as loyalty was very important to their survival. It was this such loyalty that drove Auran to cover James when he was caught in the open and to protect him, an act that ultimately killed Auran.
