Character History

years 6-9 for Sidarace

Growing up was hard for the three brother and mother of Sidarace Rathden. They did what they could to earn money for the five of them. Sidarace being a child at that time had little opportunity's to make a difference in the little lump some his family called a living. There was a caravan that came by one of the near by towns and offered jobs to the young Miraluka children.They would offer jobs to the children with "special gifts". Gifts that were normal to the Miraluka people, such as mind reading, future seeing, and the little tricks of the eye granted by the force.

The caravan would set up sharp looking tapestries and banners that would hang down from the roof and door ways of the building that would attract tourists and the occasional passer by to come and see what was in their future. Or to hear their ancestors talk to them. The caravan especially liked Sidarace. He had special powers, powers that would allow him to tamper with lighting and to make the ignorant tourist hear things.

Once the people would start acting up Sidarace would leave the room and one of the caravan workers would come in and tell them that it was a "cousin telling them to stay were they were and not leave the planet". Or "leave all your valuables or you will be cursed by the great Miraluka king of 3 millennium ago". The caravan had a nick name for Sidarace. They called him their little magician.

Gradually as Sidarace got alder he started to realize that he was being used by the caravan. And he wouldn't allow it to happen any longer. So he told his second oldest brother Octaviouse, the humiliation he had received. Without a word Octaviouse rounded up the other brothers and began to march them down one of the streets of Alpherides briefing Shazair and Hec'Tanar of what Sidarace had just told him. As they were told what had happened they to got infuriated and without a moments notice began to run toward the caravans main facility. All four of them ran with such stealth and unkany speed, it was over whelming, it even took the breath right out of a passing women.

Then suddenly there it was, no more than thirty meters away, the caravans streamers flapping in the wind. They charged. This time they didn't worry about the amount of noise they maid, they wanted a fight!as they approached the building,one of the caravan workers was exiting the building with a some what worried face. He was carrying a box with him of what Sidarace could tell only as pennants of some kind. As the man looked up to see the oncoming mob he looked perplexed, until he saw Sidarace. There was a rather soft Thump as the box he was holding hit the ground, and the man ran inside .The four followed leaping over the box that was supposed to be a little barricade.while inside Sidarace felt around with the force that approved his sight. From what he could tell it was dark, and there was many people in the room, with a feeling of Superiority. Just then Sidarace realized a man by the door before he could react there was a thud as the door slammed shut, locking them in. " you are under arrest by the imperial remnant. Through down any weapons or suffer the consequences" it was a voice of reassuring power.

"Who's there?!" shouted Octaviouse. Just as the words slipped out of his mouth The lights came on, revealing 6 Storm troopers, and one Imperial Lieutenant. All carrying Heavy blasters. They handled them with the kind of seniority that said veteran plane and clear."There is only one thing you need to know and that is you have explaining to do" as the Lieutenant ended his sentence Shazair spoke as calmly and as kindly as possible"Sir" he said " what are the charges. What have we done to be graced with this accusation?"."Don't you patronize me" said the Imperial officer " For carrying contraband,or as it should be called 'Rebel junk'!" He ended in a mocking tone. "Sir i don't believe i know what you are talking about. we have had no part in the Rebel alliance, what so ever" he pleaded " what are you talking about?" the frustration was starting to show on Shazairs face.

The Imperial officer seemed to like that he was causing pain for Sidarace's oldest brother. "Sergent, bring in the box of Junk". The Sergent with the green shoulder pad came back in a matter of seconds carrying the box the man had tried to block the brothers entrance with. The trooper brought the box to the Lieutenant as were his orders. The officer reached inside and pulled out what looked like plane Orange jump suites not uncommon for miners and such. And there it was , in black, the Rebel cross. The smirk on the officers face only Broadened, at the horor on the four brothers. " You will start by giving your names and were you live on this humble planet, it is very nice if i mite add. Soon the Empire will take real notice of this place, To bad you cant sick around and enjoy it a little more".

"If the Empire is coming then there wont be anything left to enjoy!" this time Hec'tanar spoke, and with anger. " So the little ones do speak" Said the Imperial with a smirk. just then Sidarace started to get angry he could feel his brothers tensing and trying to get the others attention, he could tell they were ready to run at any moment. The officer could tell something was going on. " Sergent, put them in-" the lights had gone out and the last words were drowned out by a deafening screech. Sidarace had used his powers in the open, this time to save his brothers and himself. "Run!" was the word that all the brothers used. without delay they all bolted out the door and started running towards their home.

As they got there their mother was nowhere to be found. Only a note stamped to the table that read, i have left to go on my own business, i shall never return. The words were a mixture of confusion and sorrow for all of the brothers. They had nothing to do now, they were fugitives now. They packed all their necessary items and left the planet in hopes to return to One day to the same old Alpherides, they knew and loved.

year 19 for Sidarace

After the Imperial purge was over and the Empire had fallen at the battle of Yavin, things started to look up for Sidarace. He had lived on the planet Uba IV with his three brothers since he was 12 years old. In between that time and the time he left the planet he was a guardian over the planets food supply station.And in doing so he had developed his own style of armor that would protect his body from the raiders that would try oh so many times to infiltrate the Uba IV food storage system. But mostly to keep the harsh atmosphere at bay from ruining his limbs and vital body parts which he needed desperately to keep his job.

By the time Sidarace was 19 he had earned enough money to go back to his home world Alpherides with his two brother older brothers Octaviouse and Hec'tanar. The oldest brother Shazair had decided a couple of years back that he would stay on uba IV and try to find a bride. There was no changing Shazair's mind, no matter how hard the three of them tried to convince him otherwise. So it was settled, the time to go home had finally come. It was hard to pack Sidarace's DC-15 sniper rifle, which was left by the Imperials when the Empire had fallen, and what looked like an old battered up Vibro blade. It couldn't Hold up to a light saber like it most likely did a few century's ago. But as Sidarace says "It was better than nothing".

A few weeks later when the three brothers had arrived at Alpherides, Octaviouse and Hec'tanar had decided to live together in one apartment to keep the expenses low. Sidarace didn't care about expenses for he was a free man, finally, and he had plenty of money stored up to do what ever he wanted to do for at least a decade plus no work. He got an apartment not far from his older brothers for a sense of security. For him and for his Siblings.

It was good to be back in his home world, not much had changed since he had left seven years before, but still, there was something about it. There didn't seem to be any darkness here, no one was afraid to release their feelings, it was very different from the Uba system. Finally he decided that there was nothing to attack him here, he could let down his defenses, for once in a long time, and just rest.
