Aurren Starlight

"I, Aurren Starlight, declare that no more shall the galaxy be a place of wars and infighting between men! From this day forth, the galaxy shall be a place of peace and my Jedi Order shall contain it with the help of out newly formed government! The Galactic Republic!"

 was the first Grand Master of the Jedi Order along as its founder and one of the of the founders of the Galactic Republic. He was born in 5075 BBY on the planet of Devaron to Devaronian, Kysokos Farquar and Human Alisa Starlight. He also had a twin brother named Abraxas.

Aurren was born during the age before the Galactic Republic was formed in a galaxy full of war over who was to be the power. Raised by his mother and adopted father with his twin brother Aurren was a quiet child and when he was young, he and his brother displayed strange gifts which would get them into trouble. Finally, Kysokos and Alisa were forced to send her sons offworld to the Brotherhood's Academy where they were to be trained to become assassins.

However, Aurren and Abraxas escaped the Academy years later. The twins fought as Abraxas wished to return to Devaron and succeed his father on the Council of Nine while Aurren wished to explore their great gifts. The two brothers separated with Abraxas stranding his brother on a moon.

Aurren spent the many years exploring his gifts. This led him to the planet of Tython and his discovery of the Order of the Balance. Aurren was trained in the mystical ways of the "Essence". At the young age of 21, Aurren was initiated into the order of priests, but no longer agreed with the ethics of the order. Aurren would go onto leave the order along with his best friend Lancer Antares. The two would fulfill Aurren's vision of a greater order and created the Jedi Order on the planet of Acht-To and they were also involved in the creation of the Galactic Republic.

Early life
Aurren Starlight was born on the planet of Devaron to Kysokos Farquar and Alisa Starlight. He also had a younger twin brother named Abraxas. Being born on Devaron, the twins and their mother were some of the only humans living on the world. At a young age, Aurren and Abraxas displayed strange gifts being able to use strange gifts such as telekenesis. These gifts alarmed Kysokos who feared that they would grow up to be immensely powerful and threaten his seat on the Council of Nine, the council that headed Devaron and advised the Governor of the planet. As his parents constantly fought over this subject, Aurren began to wonder various things. Even tough he was very young, he had a very intelligent mind and thus concluded one day that Kysokos couldn't possibly be his father as he was a Devaronian and Aurren and his brother possessed different surnames.

When Aurren and Abraxas were nine, they used their "gifts" to levitate Kysokos in front of the Governor of Devaron. However Kysokos attempted to plead that the gift the twins had was not threatening, the Governor was alarmed all the same. Due to the severity of the action in the eyes of the Council, Kysokos and Alisa were forced to send Aurren and Abraxas offworld to a fighter academy where the boys would become assassins. For Abraxas, this meant fufilling his dream to use his gifts for something special, for Aurren, it meant leaving Devaron to discover more about himself and the identity of his birth father who supposedly worked at the Academy according to Alisa.

Academy of Steel (5066 BBY- 5061 BBY)
To the rest of the students at the Academy, the twin brothers were outcasts as the rest of the children had been trained by birth. As the years passed, Abraxas' dream became to become a master assassin and one day serve the Brotherhood of Steel in conquering the gakaxy which was the group's long term goal. Aurren however never forgot his own values. No matter how much the Brotherhood attempted to convert him into a proper assassin, Aurren nevr submitted and spent his time plotting escape after the age of 13 in which he had already learned basic survival techniques.

During his time their, Aurren was heavily bullied by the other students. Abraxas defended his brother whenever he could but was all to focused on becoming a top assassin. The instructors were wowed by Aurren's brother but were unaware of the special gifts he was using to his advantage.

Seeking more information about his father and whether he knew of the special gifts he possessed, Aurren began digging for information. He uncovered the truth finally after years of research. His father had been expelled from the Brotherhood in the same way Aurren and Abraxas had been sent their. For using his special gifts. He was exiled to the core world of Tython and sent to live with the Shamed Ones. Now that Aurren had the truth he began devising an escape from the Academy. He also convinced Abraxas to accompany him and told him that the Shamed Ones would help him become more powerful. In reality, Aurren wanted to protect his brother as the war that had broke out on Devaron may have left them as orphans with their birth father and each other as their only family left.

In the dead of night, Abraxas picklocked the lock to their dorm and they snuck out. Using the shadow technique they escaped to the hangar and hijacked a shuttle fleeing the space station. They met no resistance in their escape which concerned Abraxas as he believed they may now be targets of the Brotherhood. Once they had driven as far away from the station as they could, they began to track down the Shamed Ones.

The Shamed Ones
It took the brother's months to discover the location of the Shamed Ones. Travelling to the planet of Voss, Aurren and Abraxas were met by strange beings. They led the brothers to the Shamed One's headquarters and revealed any exiled by the Brotherhood came here and was cursed to have a life of despair. Once finding this out, Abraxas was outraged and turned on Aurren believing his brother had tricked him. However, Aurren convinced his brother to visit the Shamed Ones in search of their father and reminded his brother that he had been a master assassin. Abraxas reluctantly agreed and they investigated the Temple in which they resided.

However what they found in the Temple shocked them. All of the Shamed Ones lay dead on the floor. Aurren concluded they must have been massacred. The twins searched the Temple but all the information had been taken and Abraxas had found no data their father had ever been here. Forced to summarize that their father was one of the dead on the floor, the brothers departed Voss.

An Odyssey on Voss (5061 BBY- 5060 BBY)
Furious at his brother for having them lost in the galaxy with no purpose and no where to go, Abraxas stranded his brother on one of Voss' moons with enough supplies to last a year. He left his brother a note detailing that he was going back to Devaron to pursue work using his assassin skills. While distraught at his brothers abandonment, Aurren still knew he had to find the purpose of his gifts. Stranded on the moon for over a month, Aurren managed to fashion a ship out of old parts and departed. He returned to Voss and sought an audience with the Three. Sensing he could trust them, he revealed his gifts to them and that they were growing stronger and how he wished to uncover the truth behind them. The Three revealed that some of the Voss contained these gifts as well and were known as the Mystics. the 14 year old was directed the the Shrine of Healing where he would "discover the path that lay ahead".

It took Aurren half a week to travel to the Shrine braving the beasts of Voss and the Gormak by using what he had learned at the Academy. He eventually arrived at the Shrine and was told to make a pilgrimage in order to gain full access to the Shrine. Aurren gathered old relics of Voss and defended them from the Gormak until finally he was allowed to enter. Aurren secured an audience with the Head Mystic Badok-Ka. Badok-Ka explained to Aurren that there were few people in the galaxy who possessed the gift. However Badok-Ka did not elaborate further. He wished to test Aurren for unknown reasons. They entered a sacred chamber where Aurren was cast into a vision. He fought people from his past and relieved past moments and triumphed over the challenges and tests the vision contained. When he was finished, Badok-Ka appeared to the young boy and concluded that he would achieve great things in his lifetime and never waver from the light. To end the vision, Aurren saw a future in which he stood in a huge chamber addressing thousands of beings from across the galaxy and proclaiming a new order. When Aurren awoke he was shocked, the first time ever in his life that he had felt that way. Badok-Ka approached him and revealed his answers about Aurren's gift. He told Aurren there was a society on the planet of Tython that trained special people in the ways of the gift but that they only accepted those who past their test. Badok-Ka offered to train Aurren to prepare him for the test the society would give him. Aurren accepted.

Aurren spent a full year on Voss learning the ways of visions, prophecy and the basics of the gift from the Mystics. When Aurren wasn't training, he was finding ways to make the Voss more of a threat to "outsiders" (as he dubbed them) and the Gormak. Aurren convinced Badok-Ka to open the trial of visions that Aurren had underwent to all Voss hoping to make the pilgrimage. He also helped in the expansion of the capital city Voss-Ka and influenced the Mystics into further honing their gifts to forever see the future and that this would guide the people of Voss into the light so that they would forever triumph. Aurren himself faced many tests on his path to learn the ways of the Voss but at the end of the year 5060 BBY Aurren was ready to travel to the mysterious society on Tython to learn the ways of the gift.

Initiation
Aurren departed Voss having made a major mark on the planet and now destined to make a mark on the galaxy. Aurren traveled to Tython and landed in the middle of a vast forest. It took him a full week to make it out of the forest encountering various beats and strange creatures which Aurren dubbed Flesh Raiders due to their taste for Aurren's flesh. Once Aurren made it out he found a large Temple and was greeted by members of the society which they called the Order of the Balance. They brought Aurren to the Order's leader, a mysterious hooded figure. The man called for proof that Aurren really had the "essence" which Aurren assumed meant his special gift, while some called to the leader saying Aurren was just a boy and needed to prove nothing as he had made it out of the never ending forest and battled and defeated Flesh Raiders.
