"Immersion in the White Current is to follow the Will of the Force. When it calls, I will follow the course, no matter where it might lead."
―A'lora Kituri, on the White Current

Born A'lora Kituri on the planet Shili, A'lora Kituri is a spirtualistic Togruta and Light-Sided Jedi. Trained as an Adept of the White Current, A'lora was taught how to harness the power of the Force. Her special talents as a Seer and Warrior make her well aware of both the Unifying Force and the Living Force, as well as a major asset to the Brotherhood. Her longstanding light-sided alignment have caused her to remain neutral to all major conflicts until her discovery of House Odan-Urr through a vision that led her to Liam Torun. A'lora Kituri currently resides with House Odan-Urr serving the Odanites as a Consul.


History

Origins

Taming the Beast


"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
―Garess Kelr
Shili, the Togruta homeworld.

A'lora Kituri's origins began many years before her birth. In the years following 11 BBY, Iss'tas Kituri had been renowned for her exceptional and unrivaled skill as a hunter within the pack. Highly distinguished by her unique assortment of akul teeth, pelts and bones from various predators, she had been the tribe's primary line of defense for two decades. A natural leader among Togruta, Iss'tas was both charismatic and devout to the Togruta ideals and beliefs. Often referred to, jokingly among the Togruta as 'Ferocious Akul' among the hunters she led, the name was both meaningful and amusing. The name itself implied that any foe - prey or predator should fear the Togruta woman as much as any akul. Each hunt, Iss'tas would collect only the finest prey, and she stalked her targets with extreme care to their nests, locating other creatures for future hunts. Crimson-skinned, the Togruta would use her natural camouflage to stay hidden until it was time to strike. It was later found that Iss'tas Kituri had been Force-sensitive, and had used these abilities to cloak herself on these hunts. This advantage is also said to have guided her aim while throwing spears at unsuspecting prey.

In 10 BBY, the pack on Shili was found by a spacefaring group of smugglers. Landing their deteriorating freighter “Ruby’s Fortune” in the midst of this strange culture to avoid pursuing pirates, the smugglers had been welcomed into the pack's vast community. Taken in awe by the arrival of the barely spaceworthy vessel, the Togruta began trading precious akul teeth and valuable skins for the smuggler's illegal cargo of corusca gems. The gems themselves had been one of the many possessions of a less-than-successful Hutt who had ordered the sacking of the freighter in fear of being unable to afford the re-acquirement of his valued gems. In actuality, the skins and teeth had been worth far more to the smugglers, who gladly traded their cargo away to the Togruta.

One such smuggler, a male Twi'lek by the name of Garess Kelr took keen interest in the leader of the pack hunters. For years the former smuggler had returned to Shili, staying among the Togruta and eventually becoming a hunter of the pack. Despite his history as a smuggler, the Twi'lek was a natural hunter, given his natural instincts learned in the former position. Each attempt at courtship had failed for the first two years, resulting more than once in a broken nose. There had been nothing that Iss'tas valued more than strength, agility and experience in the hunt. It was 9 BBY when the pack hunters had caught wind about an akul attack on the outlying settlement. Armed with his trusty blaster - a weapon uncommon among the pack - Garess accompanied Iss'tas to repel the threat. The scale of the attack was unexpected, with only five of the sixteen hunters surviving the akul invasion. During the chaotic battle, Garess had lost his hold-out blaster to the belly of an akul, while the same beast had begun to turn its attention to Iss'tas. Cornered, the Togruta woman's quarterstaff had been ripped from her hands, only to rest at the feet of a horrified Twi'lek. Summoning enough courage to face the nightmarish creature, Garess Kelr had jumped on the back of the beast, the quarterstaff lodged in its spine as it toppled. The brave act of heroism and self-sacrifice in the name of the pack had won Iss'tas' approval, and Iss'tas had later given birth to A'lora Kituri in 5 BBY.

The Beginning


"Summon the monsters you fear most. Only then, will you overcome your deepest fears."
―A'lora, on the Akul

After much pain, A'lora Kituri was born on the planet Shili. The infant had been born with lavender skin - a trait inherited from her father and uncommon among the pack. The Togruta child was raised within the pack, trained from birth to one day follow in her parent's footsteps as a great hunter. Quickly, the young Togruta grew in the large community, eventually becoming old enough to be apprenticed by her mother in the way of the hunt.

Her training was intensive for the next five years, each week A'lora would find herself stalking her prey, waiting for the chance to strike from the shadows. She had been taught not only to use quarterstaves and spears, but her natural weapons of montrals and teeth, as well. Thimiars were a common animal upon which the Togruta would prey upon. The small rodents had a bitter taste, but were nevertheless sustaining to the vast population. Encouraged by Iss'tas to hunt these without the need for weapons, the young Togruta would enter their nests using only her sharpened teeth to painlessly hunt the small animals. She was taught to hunt in all of Shili's hunting grounds, including rainforest valleys, savannahs and mountains, where she was expected to adapt to the terrain for weeks at a time.

Unknowingly discovering her unique powers as a Force-sensitive, the young A'lora in her adolescence would use the Force to mask her unique skin colour, changing it from a purple hue to a rust or crimson colour. This helped her blend in to various surroundings, such as the scrublands where her white markings made her nearly invisible among the turu-grass that had been red on one side of the meter-high shoots of grass, and white on the other. This had provided excellent cover in such environments, allowing the Togruta close access to the creatures she hunted.

Sometime around 12 ABY, A'lora Kituri had developed her Force powers to allow her to communicate and empathise somewhat with these creatures. As a result, she would place aside some time to sit in the middle of a grove located in one of Shili's rainforests, meditating so still that she would attract the curious animals. Eventually, she was able to use these powers to ally herself with a select few of these creatures, gaining their trust as they would assist her in the hunt. For a year, she continued this exercise until an akul invaded her grove. Her hollow montrals had only detected the intrusion mere seconds before the predator ponced where she had once been meditating, giving her barely enough time to roll away from the orange-furred creature. After five minutes of a tiring battle, the Togruta had managed to climb on the creatures' back, much as Garess Kelr had once done so long ago. The creature had tried desperately to remove its opponent from its' back, but to no success as the young A'lora dominated the creatures' mind, sending waves of calming thoughts into its' being. Upon arriving to her pack, her mother, an aged pack leader was surprised by the manner of her daughter's arrival, as was the rest of the pack as they stared at the beast with both apprehension and awe. Hailed as the 'Akul Rider,' A'lora kept the beast as a friend and companion, completely loyal to her until its' death in 15 ABY.


Hunting Among the Stars


"So long have I looked towards the stars. To hunt among them is to become more than a hunter."
―A'lora, on leaving Shili.

Before long, Garess Kelr succumbed to the harsh wildlife of Shili. A hunting accident resulted in a venomous sting from a cornered creature, which gave it’s life in a final act of defiance. Carried back to the tribe on the shoulders of his fellow tribesmen, Garess lived his final hours with Iss’tas and A’lora Kituri - the company provided him with comfort while his life drained. In the end, Garess met his end at the merciful blade of a bone-handled knife once the pain had become too much to bear. A funeral pyre was lit and songs were chanted as his body was sent from one life to the next. The remaining members of his smuggler crew would either remain on Shili for the remainder of their lives or return to the stars. Of those who left was the new captain of the freighter, a Devaronian named Jakar Praxon.

For the first time of her life, A’lora Kituri was given the opportunity to witness the Galaxy outside of her homeworld as a hunter of the stars. She would board the freighter and leave Shili behind, under the leadership of it’s greatest hunter. Trading valuables across the skies gave her a glimpse of distant worlds she never knew existed, although this venture with her father’s crew would last until 15 ABY.

It was at this time that A’lora was first aware of her control over the Force. Tales of Jedi and their unnatural abilities were comparable to her own experiences with her tribe, and she started to associate herself with these stories. Taking notice of how the crew simultaneously avoided contact and defended her against inquiries from the usual business partners and authorities, these facts were revealed in full once Garess Kelr travelled to the world of J’t’p’tan, where contact was made with the Fallanassi.

The White Current

A'lora Kituri as a an Adept of the White Current.

For reasons unknown the the crew of the Ruby’s Fortune, the freighter remained for a time on the surface. In truth, Jakar Praxon was guided with a series of intricate illusions created to lure the ship to the planet’s surface. While the ship remained fully functional, it seemed as if the Ruby’s Fortune had expired from decades of traversing the Galaxy. In truth, the Fallanassi envisioned the arrival of a powerful warrior-seer who would aid in the perseverance of the flow of the White Current. As foretold, A’lora was guided towards the planet and pulled into the ripples of the Force as an Adept of the White Current. Meeting with the leader of the Fallanassi convinced A’lora of the teachings of the White Current and introduced her as a follower.

Despite Jakar Praxon’s reluctance to leave the daughter of his former captain with the Fallanassi, the Ruby’s Fortune took to the skies, leaving A’lora to follow in the footsteps of the Fallanassi. She immersed herself within the Current, allowing for extreme manipulation over the mind, body, and spirit. Her abilities allowed her to alter the perceptions of other creatures, drawing on the emotions of wild beasts and creating illusions that would seek to fool the most observant of individuals. While she would not learn how to directly manipulate her environment, these skills were central towards a newfound religion that she would seek to understand. She learned that authority was an illusion, that all were free to follow their own desires. This was a difficult concept to grasp for the Togruta, who spent a lifetime shunning the idea of individual thought.

Nevertheless, A’lora interpreted these teachings in a light that allowed her to follow her own path, giving herself completely to follow the current of the Force. Becoming a warrior-seer of the Fallanassi, she opened herself to the White Current so completely that her mind was often overwhelmed with visions of possible futures and events that might unfold. She witnessed the Great Purge of the Yevethan Crisis before it occurred. It would be unknown if this contributed to the Fallanassi’s acceptance of Luke Skywalker’s request of a grand illusion in the Battle of N’zoth that would turn the tide of the Black Fleet Crisis, but it would have prevented several deaths from occurring with the Yevethan’s attack on J’t’p’tan.

Grand Illusion

File:Fallanassi.jpg
An Adept of the White Current.

"Monsters do exist, and their hunger for conquest is insatiable."
―A'lora, on the Yevethan Crisis.

Long before the Yevethan Crisis, A’lora envisioned the slaughter of the H'kig and the Adepts of the White Current on J’t’p’tan. Several years would pass before the Black Fleet Crisis came to J’t’p’tan, where A’lora was responsible for saving the lives of countless H’kig and her fellow sisters in the Fallanassi when she fought to defend J’t’p’tan’s inhabitants from the Great Purge. One of the Fallanassi who took refuge inside the Temple of Infinite Spirit, the Togruta lended her power towards an illusion that defended the temple from the Yevethan threat. Nevertheless, the casualties that occurred at that time was staggering and served to strengthen the Fallanassi's resolve against the Yevetha. Bearing witness to the mass slaughter of innocent H'kig, A'lora Kituri created a promise to defend the weak and innocent, tossing aside the part of her heritage preventing her to do so in order to avert unnecessary deaths.

When the Fallanassi were called to provide a grand illusion that would turn the tide of the Black Fleet Crisis in the Battle of N’zoth, A’lora was one of the first to lend her assistance in the illusion. Combined with the power of her sisters, she contributed towards the creation of a phantom fleet from the flagship ‘’Intrepid’’ to confuse the Yevetha into attacking the illusions that would open up a fatal gap in their defenses. Harnessing her own powers of illusion to fool the masses, she was successful in creating several such phantom ships that while invisible on sensors, could be seen through the viewports of the Black Fleet.

House Odan-Urr

Dark Crusade


"Apetite for war is finite. All conflicts come to an end."
―A'lora, Jedi High General

Once the Yevethan Crisis was dealt with and the Fallanassi relocated to Pydyr, A’lora was drawn within the current and returned to the path granted to her by her visions. This had led to a series of hyperspace coordinates supplied to her through a Force vision. Chartering a shuttle for the mysterious location, A`lora had arrived unexpectedly along a ragtag fleet of older vessels, marked with the insignia of House Odan-Urr. Boarding the YCHT Arthos, the converted temporary mobile command center of the Jedi, A`lora was introduced as a member of the Fallanassi, and given command over the militia`s resources. Her experience with leading hunting parties on Shili had made her the perfect candidate for organizing guerilla operations against the Brotherhood and One Sith forces.

Months had passed, along with many planets before the Jedi were able to slow the Brotherhood`s advance to a crawl. Depleted of resources, the Clans had lost their apetite for war, and returned to Brotherhood space to recover. Celebrated as a victory, the Jedi had begun preparations to cleanse these planets of Sith corruption, which would have taken years. As she would eventually find out, that fragile moment of peace was not to last.

Unsafe Haven


"Without nature, there can be no Harmony."
―A'lora, speaking to Evant on Haven.

Returning to the world Haven, the Jedi had begun preparations to launch a counterattack to Cy Thuron`s monarchy, and liberate New Tython from his iron grip. Serving as a staging point to regain resources and train the Tythonian population to join the militia, Haven was a dangerous world in its own right, but was nonetheless peaceful, serving their purposes well. Having been that the hyperspace coordinates were located through the mysterious Force by Liam Torun, it was nearly impossible to discover by anyone without the data stored within the High Councillor's navicomputer. In order to gain the proper supplies to arm the militia, A`lora had staged a successful attack on the corrupt Governor Garon, who planned a war against the Galactic Alliance in response to the restrictions on defense and military power. The covert battle on Talus was fought with utmost secrecy on both sides. Eventually, Garon was killed in his private offices, following a threat on a hostage's life.

Rallying to rearm the militia with the newly-won resources from Garon's secret military resistance, A'lora was charged with ensuring the safety of the Tythonian refugees, as reports of wildlife attacks and sickness-related deaths became more frequent. Using her skills as a hunter, she would patrol New Menat's perimeter to ward off predators who came too near. She also hunted a few of these animals for much-needed food and supplies as they were needed. Upon the arrival of Evant Taelyan, former intelligence and military leader of Scholae Palatinae, A'lora was tasked alongside Evant Taelyan and V'yr Vorsa to guide a caravan through the dangerous forests, towards a mountain range named the Spine, a major source of a valuable ore that might be traded for supplies or later refined for use on New Tython.

Fall of a Monarchy

With a stockpile of war material and an able-bodied militia at attention, the Knights of Odan-Urr ultimately returned under the leadership of A'lora Kituri and Liam Torun to reclaim New Tython from Cy Thuron's monarchy. Leading the main assault, A'lora Kituri served as a general for the last time in a struggle to liberate Menat Ombo - the seat of power in Cy Thuron's kingdom. With an army of Harakoans freed by the combined efforts of the Knights of Allusis and Strike Team Ooroo at her back, A'lora Kituri decimated the oppressive military force from the frontlines. In the aftermath of Cy Thuron's inevitable defeat at the hands of Liam Torun, she continued to maintain the peace and harmony that once flowed through the planet. Ultimately, she discovered a former Councillor going under the alias of Izanami Kurai, a pirate from the Outer Rim formerly known as Akhera Nol. Disappearing in search of the former Aedile of Odan-Urr for a two week period, A'lora uncovered knowledge that would eventually lead to a better understanding of the Jedi.

Fading Light


"There is a blindness that prevents the Jedi from fulfilling their purpose, old man. I will see this Brotherhood to its downfall, no matter the cost."
―A'lora, speaking to Liam Torun before leaving alone to Sith Space.

Months later, the Knights of Odan-Urr would return to Sith Space to continue the war against the Brotherhood and One Sith presence. It was in this time that A'lora, having received a vivid Force vision, recognized that the Jedi had become too militaristic in their actions. Failing to see past their mission in the name of "liberation," Liam Torun had lost sight of what the Jedi once were - defenders of peace. Faced with a maelstrom of conflict after the events that took hold on Begeren, A'lora Kituri shunned the Summit, focusing her efforts towards the will of the Force. While acting independent of the Summit, A'lora would find herself remaining within Sith Space, as an agent sworn to the will of the Force.

Togruta culture frowned upon individuality, and therefore A'lora Kituri broke her culture's traditions when venturing into Sith Space alone. Her difficulties in making unanimous decisions resulted in a complete reliance on the Force to provide guidance. Building a devotion to see the Brotherhood cleaned of darkness through the war, she went to lengths some would call overzealous to bring about the Brotherhood's end. Rather than seeking liberation for a lost cause, she seen a need to expunge the Sith menace through whatever means possible. This over-reliance on the Force to guide her every move led her to be entirely confident in the role she believed she was fulfilling, holding no regrets or mercy towards those who would seek to prevent her from completing her task.

The Eleventh Great Jedi War


"The enemy of my enemy needn't be a friend, but a bludgeon that can be turned against them."
―A'lora Kituri, referring to Esoteric.

Chaos split the Brotherhood in two when Muz Ashen attempted the Final Way to gain immortality. A'lora seen the Jedi as fools for following a Sith into battle against what they believed to be the greater evil. Once again casting aside the Disciples of Odan-Urr in order to follow her own direction, A'lora Kituri sought out the One Sith armies, and join them against the Brotherhood. The Force had her believe that in siding with the One Sith, together they would be able to destroy Muz Ashen before the Rite of Immortality was completed. In a vision, she 'seen' the possible outcome of Jac falling to the Lion of Tarthos, being too weak to finish his foe and cast aside an old friend. Esoteric was to her, the perfect candidate for bringing an end to Muz Ashen's reign of malice. However, her actions had brought her a step closer towards the darkness, if even for a moment. Although still a practitioner of the Light Side of the Force, she was forced to act alongside those who used rage as their fuel for battle.

In the end, her visions matched that of the actual outcome of the conflict, although showing a different side to it. Jac was not strong enough to kill Muz Ashen when the two crossed blades on the battlefield, but where her vision faded to nothingness, Muz Ashen chose to spare Jac's life. The Lion of Tarthos disappeared, his rule ended with the stroke that killed Tarax and Esoteric stood victorious. As foretold, the triumph of the One Sith would not bring bloodshed to the Jedi of Odan-Urr, instead the Brotherhood, as they knew it, was ended; Darth Pravus rose to take over the ashes and rebuild the Brotherhood according to his own plan. Esoteric turned out to be no more than the purpose A'lora used the One Sith for - a tool and a means to an end.

Clan Odan-Urr

From Ashes


"The Brotherhood as it was known is scattered to the Current. I have forseen it."
―A'lora Kituri, victorious on witnessing the disappearance of Muz Ashen from the Iron Throne.

Finally, with her purpose being fulfilled, A'lora Kituri was free to follow the will of the Force, having forgotten how to trust her own judgment, or the judgment of those around her. Seeking to build the Jedi after the collapse of a scrambling Brotherhood, the Force carried her back to lead the Disciples of Odan-Urr as a legion with renewed strength to fight back against the darkness. Reforming into the first Clan to follow the Light Side of the Force, it would be a time for change and new challenges; challenges that would test the Disciples of Odan-Urr to their limits as her visions held their focus.

Physical Appearance

As a Togruta, A'lora's appearance is largely near-human, with the exception of Lekku and Montrals, the Lekku are not unlike that of a Twi'lek's, save for the third Lekku common amongst Togruta. White with stripes of light blue, her Lekku take on a common colour for her species and frame an attractive, oval-shaped face. Lavender-skinned with white markings, A'lora is a Togruta female who has an acrobatic build, built more for agility than strength. Average in height among her species at 1.72 meters, she is difficult to spot in large crowds unless given away by her protruding Montrals. Like her skin, her eyes are a lighter shade of purple. A result of excruciating torture from Yuzhaan Vong amphistaves, her back is a patchwork of scarred flesh that crisscross in all directions.

Because of her deep connection with the environment, she prefers clothing that will not close her off from the land, often forgoing shoes and other unnecessarily burdening articles when travelling in lush atmospheres. When away from her accustomed environments, she may wear a pair of knee-high boots. Her usual articles of clothing are usually consisted of pelts or rough leather from creatures she had hunted, and adorned with various other materials that can be found in nature.

Philosophies and Beliefs

Jedi Philosophies

A`lora Kituri meditating on the Jedi Code.

A'lora tends to think often of the Living Force, but is not close-minded when it comes to the Unifying Force that supplies her with powerful visions. A Warrior and Seer, A'lora's skill set is not unlike most Consulars’. However, unlike most Jedi, A'lora favors her Togruta beliefs and religion above the Jedi Code, thus she does not adhere strictly to the Consular habits of non-aggression. While she does have experience in the arts of lightsaber combat, her knowledge is limited to a single lightsaber form, Ataru. A'lora favors the lightsaber when the situation requires violence, these are usually seen in hues of emerald or a light blue. When facing against a helpless or underwhelming enemy, A'lora will usually show mercy towards those individuals. However, while fighting a relentless opponent, such as a Dark Jedi that cannot be wavered from his path, she will do whatever is necessary to stop the tide of darkness, and will call upon her most aggressive lightsaber forms she might know to surprise her opponents. Her contempt for the Dark Brotherhood borders on hatred, thus when facing against a Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood, she may on occasion express minor signs of Dark Side influence, however brief. If an enemy accepts her offer to abandon his Dark Side teachings, she will not strike the killing blow unless such a foe is powerful enough to pose a greater risk.

Adept of the White Current

One of the Fallanassi, A’lora Kituri has learned that the White Current allows one to immerse themselves in the Force with control over the mind, spirit and body. While her techniques allow for little physical manipulations in her environment, these teachings have allowed her the ability to create intricate illusions designed to fool the most observant individuals. Training the spirit through meditations grants her visions of the distant future and absolute devotion to the flow of the White Current as the Force's will. A sharp mind has lent itself to her tasks as a former General of Odan-Urr and a leader of the Jedi presence in constant plans to undermine the Brotherhood. Regular physical exercises have maintained a perfect, athletic form with supernatural dexterity. All of these things are needed for one to submerge themselves completely in the White Current to follow the coursing waters.

Togruta Beliefs

A'lora Kituri has a strong sense of unity and togetherness, a quality inherited from her homeworld, Shili. On her native homeworld of Shili, the pack relied on each other and would band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunted them, staving away Akul attacks as well as any predators that would occasionally wander too close to their territory. A'lora is known within House Odan-Urr for her habit of not wearing shoes when in lush environments, believing that the land was spiritually connected to the Togruta, and wearing shoes severed the bond between herself and the land. In addition to her beliefs, A'lora often thinks of her House as a pack. In Togruta custom, within a pack every able Togruta was expected to contribute his or her own share, to the betterment of the pack, where each individual is treated equally. Togruta were also known for their belief that those who could not keep up should be left to fend for themselves, because that is nature's way. This belief was abandoned when she became involved with the Fallanassi, and replaced with a devotion towards helping the helpless.

Notable Relationships

V'yr Vorsa

Councillor V'yr Vorsa.

Councillor V'yr Vorsa has remained the Togruta's greatest companion throughout her time within Odan-Urr. The Neti's presence in the Living Force has linked itself to A'lora through a deep connection shared in their similar environments. As attuned to nature as the Shili-born Togruta, this common ground formed the basis of a long friendship between the two Jedi. Both were rooted within the Living Force as beings connected to everything around them; A'lora's tribal upbringing and Vorsa's plant-like appearance cemented their awareness to nature. While at first, Vorsa seen the Fallanassi warrior as little more than a child, she has grown closer to the Togruta, seeing her fellow Jedi as a sister. As a general, Vorsa has proven herself with a talent for resolving issues of command and a staunch combatant when called upon to aid A'lora in matters of leadership. Over time, these bonds have strengthened to the point of the two being completely synchronized on the battlefield, their movements and complicated maneuvers intertwined without so much as a transferred thought.

Despite these similarities and connections, the two have shared disagreements on multiple occasions. Headstrong in her devotion to the White Current's course, A'lora had been known to follow her visions with little regard towards the Neti's advice on matters that have been foreseen. Ultimately, this led to the two being separated on two sides of the same conflict during the Eleventh Great Jedi War, where A'lora Kituri sided with Esoteric and Vorsa with Jac Cotelin.
