Aran Gunnar

Aran Gunnar was a Teloc Jedi youngling who survived Order 66.

Early life
Aran was born on the Teloc homeworld of Teloc Ol-Sen and but was taken by the Jedi Order when he was discovered by the Jedi Order. He was placed in Krakana Clan and he quickly became friends with Arikki T’Cha because of their similar personalities. During the last days of the Clone Wars, the group was being taken back to Coruscant after a portion of their training was completed on another world. However, while in orbit around the planet Dimock, the ship was damaged by Separatist fire. The youngling clan managed to get into an escape pod and jettison to the planet’s surface. They were later rescued by Tadra Kren, his padawan Molkir Tyd and Yulo Gart, as well as their Clone Troopers. While transporting the younglings to a spaceport, Order 66 was initiated and the Clone Troopers turned on their generals. The Jedi managed to escape in an RTT and fled into the wilderness. However, Tadra realised that they could not run forever, and ordered Molkir to escape into the wilderness along with the younglings. They managed to reach a spaceport and hired a smuggler who took the Jedi offworld.

Seclusion
They managed to reach Artus Prime and went into hiding there. Molkir agreed to train the Younglings in the ways of The Force. However, due to the large number of younglings, Aran, Arikki, Kallus Eikh’mir and Kori Dannus where slightly neglected and began developing habits that were not common to the Jedi Order. However, while Kallus and Kori became aggressive, Aran and Arikki just began to get laid back and developed a romantic relationship. Their lightsaber skills and their ability to manipulate The Force were also significantly poorer than that of their friends. Under Molkir’s leadership, the group began attacking criminal organizations on the planet, as well as marauding pirates who attempted to loot the world.

Duel with Kori
Eventually deciding that he no longer wished to listen to Molkir, Kori attempted to take control of the group from him. The other Jedi were opposed to the idea and tried to stop him from killing Molkir. One by one he duelled them and he easily defeated those who opposed him. After he defeated Tora Mikalto he found himself ambushed by Aran and Arikki, who leapt from a rise. Kori however, managed to easily send the duo flying with a Force Push which knocked them out. When they awoke they witnessed Kori’s duel with Vasaga Nomaki. They watched in awe as Vasaga easily managed to keep up with Kori’s frantic movements. They were shocked when Vasaga even managed to shield himself from Kori’s Force Roar. However, before he could finish off Kori, Molkir stopped him. He asked Vasaga to spare him because they had once been friends and had trained together. Out of respect for his master, Vasaga complied, but told Kori that he would have to leave Artus prime and that they could never be friends again. Molkir and Vasaga then helped the shocked Aran and Arikki to their feet and then began helping the others.
