Adulthood: Acheron d’Tana - 28 ABY
Acheron joined the d’Tana family and was quickly assigned as protection for a minor spice run to test his mettle. Things went smoothly for a time, as spice runs were protected and very little happened in the way of a challenge. Soon that changed, as the ship Acheron was aboard ran afoul of an Imperial Remnant vessel.
Remnant Choice 28 ABY
Acheron was viewed by the Remnant for a few days aboard their vessel and finding no surefire way to kill the cyborg, they shipped him off to a prison known as The Tomb. Finding no solace on his journey, Acheron completed what maintenance he could on his systems and prepared for the worst.
The Tomb: Year One 28 ABY
Acheron’s first year at The Tomb was the easiest. Few people bothered him, as they were unaccustomed to the newcomer. A few brawls where he sustained little permanent damage were had, but that was to instill the idea to be left alone.
As the days ticked by, Acheron sat in his cell and carved tick marks into the duracrete walls. With each passing cycle, the wall slowly began to register the weeks and then months he had spent in the cell he claimed as his own among the other unfortunates of The Tomb.
The Tomb: Years Two and Three 29 ABY – 30 ABY
During the second and third years within the Tomb, Acheron began to notice his systems failing due to the inability to perform proper maintenance. He salvaged what parts he could from the broken down droids within the prison, but the damage was proceeding as though nothing would stop it.
As the tick marks continued, Acheron eventually began to lose focus of what he was. He looked in the mirror and wonder if he was a robot. He knew that he had thoughts and ideas of his own, but the mirrors in the Tomb showed nothing but a robot. Each passing cycle continued to elude his thinking as he soon no longer remembered his early childhood.
The Tomb: Years Four and Five 31 ABY – 32 ABY
During the fourth year within the Tomb, Acheron began to lose even more of his databanks within his memory circuits. He continued with the tick on the duracrete, but another wall was dominated solely by the words, “WHO AM I?” Beneath were several answers to the question, the first being Acheron d’Tana. However, as the days went by, d’Tana was roughly scratched through and only Acheron read at the top of the list. He was abandoned and lost to them.
During the fifth year, Acheron developed a penchant for crudity. He found the violent games within the Tomb intriguing and came to enjoy watching them as he joined the ranks of the savages imprisoned around him. He particularly enjoyed the fighting between the inmates for what little food wandered into the Tomb from the lower levels or even the fights over the recently dead prisoner’s corpses themselves.
It was during this time that Acheron slowly began to assert himself over the other prisoners. By the end of the fifth year, Acheron counted his people inside the Tomb at twenty of the savage inmates that he shared his new home with. He had lost most of his memories now, with the sole exception of Arcona and the d’Tana crime family. He would smile often at these memories, but he would make due with what he had at hand.
The Tomb: Year Six 33 ABY
During the sixth year, Acheron continued to solidify his hold on the inmates. By the time he had half the year ticked on his wall, Acheron controlled almost forty percent of the inmates within the facility. As the days continued to tick by, even more joined him as they saw he was becoming the power within the Tomb.
The members of his little gang soon cleared out a large area around his cell so he could enjoy some solitude. With one of his fingers, he roughly sketched out faces and names that he remembered and would like to continue to do so. A small bust sketch of Etah, Rho and Orv sat on his wall.
By the end of the sixth year, he held council with the faces on his wall, hoping for some respite from the insensible chatter of the inmates.
The Tomb: Year Seven 34 ABY
The seventh year found Acheron holed up within his cell at almost all times. His underlings brought him things they found around the sealed off floors in hopes to succor favor with him. The drawing continued to remain silent while he worked until the council meetings afterwards during the hours when no one would be around.
He knew that he would be here for a long time before anyone even thought to look here. He sat within his cell and looked at the wall, which showed seven years of tick marks. With a resigned shrug, he turned away from the wall and sat upon the self-made throne of garbage that had been brought to him.
It wasn’t required to suffer while he rotted, only that he would rot eventually. He fully intended enjoy the time left before all of his systems began to fail. The routine maintenance he could perform was holding the complete failure at bay, but it was only delaying action. He would need support from a mechanic eventually.
