Genno

Genno was a young Jelenan fawn with a penchant for getting into trouble and a wildly vivid imagination.

Early Life
"It's shameless the way we flirt."

- Genno talking about his many fights with Nina



Genno was the newborn son of King Eyanosa and Queen Mernia, the leaders of the Aklon herd and descendants of one of the ancient Great Leaders. Genno grew up into a imaginative, energetic, curious, lively, and rambunctious (if occasionally arrogant) young fawn, and was known to show more intelligence then a typical young Jelenan. Genno was usually causing chaos in his school, in his home, and generally everywhere he went. He was often seen bugging his betrothed future mate, Nina, who was considered by Genno to be his "biggest enemy". Their parents conspired to matchmake the two of them in the hopes of bringing their herds together. Unfortunately, their plans rarely worked out as expected due to Genno's and Nina's constant fighting.

One day, during one of his imagined "adventures", Genno came across a Ulvenian trapped in a poacher's trap. Since Ulvenians were the sworn enemies of his species, Genno did not try to free the Ulvenian unless the wolf-like predator would become his friend. The Ulvenian, being a member of a deadly but honorable race, agreed. The Ulvenian's name was Sebboh, but he insisted on being called "Fang". However, knowing how his herd was going to react to him befriending a Ulvenian, Genno decided to keep his relationship with Sebboh a secret. Genno's only moments of serenity were with Sebboh, his best buddy.

Banished

Due to his dislike of Nina, Genno formed his own club with Sebboh, with the primary purpose of excluding and humiliating doe fawns. The frequent target of the club’s activities was typically Nina. During the formation of the club, it was decided by Genno that the club needed a meeting area. Taking advantage of the fawn's naive nature, Genno's scheming uncle Zhynor, who was very angry because of Genno being the heir to the throne, told Genno to have their club’s headquarters on the gorge overlooking the land of the herd. Genno’s father, Eyanosa, warned Genno many times not to play on the gorge, due to the rain and the reported rockslides. Ignoring his father’s warnings, Genno decided to listen to Zhynor suggestion. While setting up their headquarters, Genno, wanting to have a good view of the valley below, decided to move a bolder out of the area. However, by trying to do so, the entire cliff gave way and fell into the valley, which resulted in a terrible accident relating to several herd members’ deaths and injuring Nina. Genno was blamed for the accident on the gorge by Zhynor, who claimed that the whole incident was Genno's attempt at trying to hurt Nina. Eyanosa, angry at his son, banished him into exile. That night, after his banishment, Genno later met up with Sebboh, and the both of them decided to live on their own.

The Adventure Begins
One day, when Genno was spending time with Sebboh, he spotted a smuggler's ship. Being curious, they snuck into the storage compartment and began examining the expensive contents. However, the pilot of the ship returned to the ship while they were still in the cargo hold. After leaving Nassius Prime and a few hours of traveling, the ship finally arrived at a secret hanger in the industrial land of Coruscant. When the pilot began unloading his cargo, Genno and Sebboh quickly sneaked out of the cargo hold and ran out into the speeder-filled streets outside the hanger. While they were gazing up in awe by the sight of the spectacular skyscrapers, a nearby factory was blown up by an unknown terrorist spy. Genno and Sebboh managed to survive, but were caught and blamed by the authorities for the "accident". There, they were put in a series of trails and torture chambers. One night, they were able to escape by using deceit and disguise, and also managed to highjack a speeder.

Later, after going through several misadventures, while observing a local factory, Genno found out that the factory owners coerced the workers to work by having guns being pointed at them, and that the apparently “productive factories” were just hollow shells intended to fool Republican Securities by burning hay to produce smoke and hitting a large sheet of corrugated iron to imitate the sound of machinery. While wandering the streets of the district, they also discovered that the factory authorities handed out food to starving people only if they made themselves factory workers; if they failed to do so, their entire families were to be beaten and given no food. Due to the relegation of the bulk of Coruscant’s food crops to export, so as to maintain the illusion that the town was wealthy and could therefore afford to send huge quantities to other factories and settlements, the town was experiencing severe famines. Thus, the corrupted factory owners planned to pillage productive farms. Genno and Sebboh managed to save several peasants by warning them of the approaching troops, but were again captured when they attracted the attention of a slave driver. Later, after escaping across the junk wastelands, Genno and Sebboh stumbled upon the secret cache of riches that the factory owners had stolen from the people (including an ample supply of food). Armed with this knowledge, they fled the town to a hidden village where they learned that all their communications were jammed by the factory authorities. Together, they devised a plan to contact the Republic. Disguised, Genno and Sebboh infiltrated a nearby communication outpost and sent a distress signal to the Republic. Shortly afterwards, the factory owner’s soldiers attacked the village. They were then forced to hold off the enemy until the Republican troops arrived. With the use of traps, Genno, Sebboh, and a few other peasants were able to block enemy reinforcements coming in through the garbage canyons, where the main part of the enemy army was entering. During the battle, the Republican forces arrived and were able to infiltrate the enemy factory, capturing the corrupted leaders. After the battle, Genno and Sebboh were greeted with great pomp by the rapturous public, arriving to a tremendous reception in the Palace of the Republic, where Genno told the holonet reporters of his adventures and how he wistfully yearned for more, much to Sebboh's disappointment.

Personality and Traits
Genno had the right to feel jealous and spiteful towards any other higher ranking male in his herd since he was the heir. Genno was also adventurous, playful, loyal, and courageous, but he often let his impulsive, insubordinate ambitions and sneering nature get the better of him. He did what he believed was right. Genno believed that being a leader was all about doing what he wanted all day and going wherever he pleased.
