BIRTH TO SLEEP
c. 16700 BBY ~ 16680 BBY
In a year forgotten to the annals of time, in an era of history prior to the Great Hyperspace War, the child that was to be bestowed the titular name of a goddess was born. The circumstances of her birth, as well as her appearance on the planet of Pax Insul, were clouded in mystery, as a member of a species so rare that, especially in such a remote world in the wilds of space, it was completely unheard of. An Alua'an, the baby that was dubbed "Braith" due to the piercing color of her eyes - the light - and the pale color of her skin that seemed to burn almost immediately when exposed to sunlight - the dark - the word meaning "Light and Dark", a polarity that would effect her for the duration of her life. Due to her unnatural appearance, remarkable strength into her early childhood, and the strange reaction to sunlight - and especially the immediate regeneration from the burns suffered due to the exposure upon retreating back into the shadows - Braith was raised as the avatar of their tribal goddess, clothed from head to toe in a silken robe with a cowl to cover her face in daylight hours, the inside of the robes a pitch-black dye and the exterior as bright and white as the color of the planet's star.
For much of her early youth, from the moment the child was able to walk and begin to learn to speak, Braith was taught and coached by the various religious prophets in their culture, and their fictional centering of her as their sovereign deity. Due to the limited knowledge of the force present on the world, the child was taught almost exclusively by the elder of the tribe she was housed in, learning the ways of subtle influences of the mind, to outright telekinetic domination of her future subjects - always using living peasants and slaves that were let loose with freedom to injure their deity in order to instill a sense of urgency and ethic within the child. Through the years she branched out from her learning, eventually reaching adulthood - and the coming of age for the tribe's patron goddess. It was during this time that she demonstrated her ability to alter the very weather, the environment itself, and her intense physical prowess in subjugating a lone Terentatek by her lonesome with no weapon but a steel rod.
But life for one so favored as hers was not without its risks and challenges. Throughout the planet the various tribes, numbering so small that they could be count on the fingers of one human hand, each had their own champions - though not necessarily those they worshiped as Braith had been by hers - and where there were conflicting beliefs there was opposition. With a cult-led tribe such as her own, where her own nature as a destroyer and healer was considered sacred and religiously worshiped, there was no room for being open-minded, and her own tribe often pitted her against other tribe's champion in a vie for territory and control. While she had not made it through all of her conflicts unscathed, Braith succeeded in bringing her tribe to the forefront of control of the largest portion of landmass known to her people. But it was her success that brought fear into the hearts of the tribe's own elders. Fearing for a loss of authority to a woman that was inadvertently given too much importance in a cult that was meant to use her as a means of control, the three most wise, capable, elders - whom also had been the ones to teach her all she knew - betrayed her and sealed her in an oubliette for millennia.
SUN & MOON
844 ABY - 858 ABY
Thousands of years passed saw to the unearthing of the oubliette she was trapped within by the grandmaster of the Jedi Order, Corvus Raaf, and several others on the abandoned archipelago world of Pax Insul, its surface far different from what she had last seen. Angry and confused, at first, the disoriented Alua'an was taken in by the Jedi Master and brought into the Galactic Republic at the peak of its war with the One Sith. Circumstance and personalities aligned and a short-lived romance between the two blossomed, culminating in the Jedi's self-imposed exile from the Jedi Order at the bigotry directed towards Braith - who, at the time, was believed by several on the council to be a dark side spirit in disguise - and her eventual abandonment of the witch as well, for reasons unexplained, while Braith worked to help a fledgling Galactic Alliance in its fight against the Sith.
With her emotions unchecked and finding herself alone in a galaxy that was incredibly different from the era she had come from, Braith's strength in the force began to fluctuate greatly, waxing and waning with the severity of her emotional state. This led her, for a time, to the Ancient Eye in wild space, whereupon she came into contact, if only briefly, with Tathra Khaeus and the Ankhypt. Eventually the distressed witch, searching deep out in the unknown regions, came across a hostile
Darth Prazutis
near the region of space that the Aing-Tii traverse - the two fought, their fight lasting long enough to tire the two out, and they were captured by the nomadic Aing-Tii for the threat they posed to the local systems, one being a Sith and the other quickly falling to the dark side. In captivity the two grew closer and they eventually harbored feelings for each other, only for Prazutis to escape while Braith stayed behind.A year more and Braith was released herself and the inevitable reunion between the infamous Zambrano and witch followed soon thereafter, with the Sith lord taking her with him to the newly formed Sith Empire where his nephew ruled as Emperor. For a time they were simply together, but Braith kept a frightening secret to herself - the species to which she belonged to was prone to a terrible form of bone cancer, spurred by their regenerative capabilities, and she, herself, was dying of it with no answer on how to deal with it. It had been an issue that had been growing since her time with the Alliance, but only now had it come to a head. When things were just beginning to settle for the couple she vanished - unwilling to let him watch her wither and despair while her illness worsened. It seemed, then, that this was the last the two would see of each other, until a deadly risk to the Sith Empire, and more importantly to her extended family, surfaced.
Ananta, or Aneshe, as she was called, had infiltrated the Empire under the guise of a loyal partner at Carnifex's side with the false name of Irina. A specter of Braith's past, the woman that had provided her traitorous tribal elders with the oubliette in which she was sealed, Ananta emerged with the intent of assassinating the Sith Emperor and plunging the Empire into chaos, and the galaxy with it. Near death's door and with nothing left to lose, Braith intercepted the ancient Sith lord as she made her attempt on
Darth Carnifex
and died in his place - Ananta hiding her treachery with a simple lie: that Braith had been her prey the entire time - and was consumed, body and soul, by the abomination that Ananta had become. It was not long after this, following the failed Silver Jedi invasion of Mirial, that Ananta's plans had been uncovered by an enraged Prazutis. He took it upon himself to lure her into a trap, making her believe she had an avenue to carry out her anarchical plans, and then subdued, killed, and withdrew as much of Braith as he could from Ananta, placing her essence in the empty vessel he had prepared for her, a firrerreo, to provide her with a new body.The Braith that returned was changed, different, and eventually espoused her husband's Sith outlook, taking the moniker of Darth Alekto in the purposeful death she met at the hands of
Maynard Treicolt
in a ritual he was unwittingly a part of to place herself in a vessel of her own making. As Darth Alekto she joined the war effort of the Sith Empire against the rising New Imperial Order in her new, vongformed, state with a cult of Yuuzhan Vong cultists at her heels. Ultimately, however, this would see to her near death on Borosk, following which both she and Prazutis worked to create an artificial child, a strand-cast in much the same vein that Sidious in ages past had created Snoke. She desired a child, something she was biologically incapable of in this new state, and also wanted to ensure she had something to leave behind for her husband in the death she foresaw - the death which came, eventually, in her duel with Spencer Varanin on Dubrillion for what seemed to be the final time, her essence destroyed in the aftermath.
SPITE & SPLINTER
867 ABY - Current
For nearly a decade the Alua'an seemed lost to history, her spirit never making it to the netherworld and there was seemingly no way for her to be brought back by those that cared for her. The Empire she, and her husband, had fought for collapsed under the pressure of the newly formed third Galactic Alliance, New Imperial Order, Silver Jedi, and Brotherhood of the Maw - all that remained of Braith was, then, memories she'd made with others still alive -
Until her daughter brought her back.
PERSONALITY
To most, the violet-eyed Alua'an is a woman of stoic determination. Reserved, she keeps to herself until demanded a favor of, but the moment a goal is set her focus is razor-sharp. Those that know her more intimately may be more privy to a more open Braith, a woman with an absolutely astronomical ego and an inability to let go of her grudges. In either case, she remains respectful until that respect is forfeited - honoring her lover's wishes by sparing his nephew, Kaine Zambrano, from her icy wrath.
BELONGINGS
-
-
- Strength: Braith Ma'at Achlys. The name itself once struck fear into the hearts of the people that once shared a planet with her, not because she was some unspeakable horror - not in the aesthetic sense - but because of her renown both as a formidable wielder of a the force - one which inspired a cult that had worshiped the ground on which she walked even as an infant - and her physical prowess as an Alua'an. More specifically, her incredible muscle density that caused her weight to be significantly disproportionate to her size and build, and the strength that it caused was remarkable. Much like the average female Alua'an, Braith's physical might is greater than that of most humans, and she was known at one time to have tamed a Terentatek with sheer might and will to attest to her supremacy that would one day incite fear in her followers, leading to her indefinite incarceration within a tomb sealed with alchemy. Needless to say, she breaks human stereotypes of the female sex.
- Regenerative Perhaps the most horrifying part of dealing with this monster of a woman, Braith possesses a regenerative healing factor that allows the regeneration of most non-lethal wounds in a relatively short period of time.
-
- Light: The light, from a sun or star, is much more dangerous to Alua'an than it is to humanity. Unlike humans, whom might tan and eventually begin to 'burn', Alua'an lack much pigmentation and skip right to the painful red blotchy burning part. While they may be able to regenerate through this after escaping sunlight, this generally forces both Braith and her species to seclude either beneath heavy protective clothing or under the cloak of night. To that end she had, in her own era, earned the rumor of being a deity of the night almost exclusively because of this when her feats of strength and the force were observed. Similarly, she was observed as a monstrous entity of evil because of this - perhaps what fueled her in her youth to strive for power.
- Size: While the vain Alua'an is a physical beauty, she also weighs in at around 150 kilograms. This is due to the muscle density that grants her the physical prowess that reinforces her strength. Due to the density of her muscles, however, it makes any form of strenuous activity in liquid, specifically water, extremely taxing. While she may not pass out simply by wading in water, any form of swimming for extended periods of time would physically exhaust Braith in moments. Anyone capable of submerging her in water, whether by pushing her into a body of water or using the force to alter the environment around them, would stand a much greater chance than on solid ground. This also has sparked a slight phobia of boats or beach shores, or large cliffs that might overlook these waters.
