Aerys Myrrine Fortan was born on a secluded island on Genesia in 857 ABY, the second child of Taeli and Fiolette Raaf. Her early years were filled with blissful moments spent with her parents and older sister Nerralyn in their lavish estate on Ravelin. However, the idyllic facade shattered when Taeli's allegiance to the Sith overshadowed her familial duties, prompting Fiolette to leave, taking Aerys and her brother Iaacen with her.
Raised by her mother and maternal figure Kassandra Distorith, Aerys embarked on a nomadic lifestyle, accompanying Fiolette on her ventures across the galaxy. Yet, their transient existence came to an abrupt halt when Fiolette made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving Aerys and Iaacen in the care of their elder sisters Lucinyia and Ariel on Dosuun.
The transition to their new life was marked by a sense of displacement and betrayal, exacerbated by the absence of their parents. As Aerys navigated her formative years alongside her nieces and nephews, she grappled with a pervasive anger stemming from fractured trust and unresolved emotions.
Venturing beyond the confines of her sister's home, Aerys shed both her surnames, reclaiming her identity as an individual untethered by familial ties. Embracing a newfound sense of autonomy, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, determined to forge her own path in the vast expanse of the galaxy.
A pivotal moment in Aerys's life came during the Second Great Hyperspace War, where she distinguished herself as a valiant soldier in the Battle of Tython. Serving as a Stormtrooper with the New Imperial Order, Aerys ultimately defected, disillusioned by the Empire's oppressive regime.
Returning to Dosuun, Aerys played a pivotal role in the formation of the Dosuunian Commonwealth, assuming the mantle of its first High Commissioner. Her leadership and dedication laid the groundwork for a new era of prosperity and unity among the Dosuunian people.
Transitioning back to the military sphere, Aerys pursued a career in the Commonwealth Marine Commandos, ascending to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Her unwavering commitment to duty and unwavering resolve continue to shape her legacy as a formidable leader and guardian of her homeland.
