850-858 ABY- Davin's parents both worked in the Wolport PD, his father as a cop and mother as a data analyst. Both did the best they could in the chaotic city and environment, demanding hours and demanding work kept them away more than they would've liked. A year later his mother had to quit after the couple had another child, Nikola. They were happy. His father raised them in a traditional Mantellska household, keeping the ways of their fathers and drawing a clear line on where the household stood. Just because other feckless folk couldn't remember their heritage didn't mean they wouldn't. Keshiri had no place here no more than the Republic of old had. Tensions continued to escalate as the children grew, culminating in outright conflict after years of paranoia and buildup. Wolport erupted into factionalized violence along with the rest of the planet. Luka found himself in the Mantellska Garda soon after. Vera found herself struggling to survive with all the other families while keeping her children safe. The war was all encompassing.
858-868 ABY- The next few years dragged on. Davin aged in a way he could never have imagined in his happier years. With his father out fighting the son had to take up food scavenging responsibilities in the embattled city. Davin learned to not get attached to friends, they might not be there soon after. By fifteen his father had become another faceless casualty in an unnamed engagement. One of thousands that erupted across Wolport for years. His mother passed as well, bad flu season and malnutrition. Shortly after Davin enlisted in the Mantellska Guard, with his brother helping out in the mess and supply. Davin was given a couple weeks training before being placed on the front as an assistant to a Light Machine Gunner, Sgt. Petrovic, who spent the next year keeping the young man alive and tutoring him onto how to continue to stay alive. Petrovic took a rocket on Davin's seventeenth birthday, taking Davin's arm along with him. The young man awoke in a field hospital with a robotic arm, a promotion, and news that Nikola had also fallen in a different offensive. The war wound down as the year progressed and Davin found himself alive and totally alone.
868- Present- Davin drank himself into a stupor the day the war ended, waking up next to a woman that would become integral in his life. Sara had been from a similar background both before and after the war. He found the hope of a peace he hadn't thought would be capable of returning. Davin made it to eighteen. After his enlistment with the Guard ran out he was faced with the choice of either enlisting into the Imperial Army proper after succesful reclaimation of Ord Mantell or staying in the Guard in a sort of Sector Defense Role. Given his experience the Imperial Army Recruiters offered him a bonus if he enlisted in the Stormtrooper Corps and he, like many, took the offer. It was more credits than most from a place like Ord had ever seen in one place. The Votan family went galactic, with Sara carrying a daughter along the way. Davin adapted well to his new life and found a loyalty to his brothers, his Emperor, and his new family that drove his life forward. The next four years were best in his life inspite of continued deployments and firefights. Such violence had become second nature to him, forged in his adolescence. When he wasn't plying his trade with his brothers he stayed with his family, spending as much time as the Empire allowed him watching old holovids and going to zoos. He also lost his left leg from the knee down to a mine. At twenty two both his wife and daughter passed while Davin was away on deployment, a speeder crash. Davin attended their funerals and immediately signed up for StormCommando selection, having nothing further to live for but his call to service. These were the worst days of his life and he lived out his mental pain through the brutal selection process, channeling it into the long rucks and night courses they endured. By the end his pain was present, but controlled, marked in his composure and facial expressions. He passed and after completing he rest of the strenious two year course he finds himself numb but alive. His father would be proud. The Galaxy had a strange sense of humor.
