APPEARANCE:
Zalan is a fit young man in his late teens. While tall, he isn't an imposing figure. The young man has hazel eyes, wild light brown hair, tanned white skin, and light scars over much of his body. It is clear he works hard, and his hands are calloused.
BIOGRAPHY:
Zalan was born on the planet Nelvaan, under the rule of Darth Tacitus to two Naval Military officers. From birth he has been part of the Eternal Empire, and not a moment was wasted to mold him into a future member of the military. He never experienced true warmth from his parents. He was a tool, a weapon that should be in service to the family and the Empire. From youth they pushed his body and mind as hard as they could. Beatings happened regularly when he couldn't fulfill their desires.
His mother's brother was one who helped him grow into a strong and self-sufficient man. He taught him all the emotions his parents couldn't, and how to overcome any obstacle in his way. Zalan threw himself into training and studying, but not for his parents' sake. It was a distraction, a way to get away from them. Each year, he was near top of his class, and each competition he pushed himself harder than the last. When he was able, he joined the Empire's Youth Program, that taught students how to be part of the military and upstanding citizens once their military service was over. Weekends were spent volunteering with local militias and planetary security forces doing menial work. Any moment not spent at home was a moment well spent in his eyes.
As time went on, his father's abuse got worse as he began to drink. Every time he had been skipped over for a promotion, whenever his wife was praised, it didn't matter anymore. Zalan's father used any excuse to vent his rage on the boy. But no one ever saw it. On the outside they were the perfect family, and Zalan was going to become a fine officer in the Navy if anyone asked. But the boy's resentment grew and grew. Martial arts, marksmanship, learning multiple languages, he pushed himself as hard as he could. Not that it changed anything in his life.
At his graduation and eighteenth birthday, his parents prepared to ship him off to the Navel Officer's Academy, another bright star in their careers. With the help of his uncle Zalan slipped off in the middle of the night and joined with an army recruiter. No questions were asked, and he soon found himself at basic training. Like any other part of his life, the teen pushed himself to breaking. He graduated basic with commendations and was placed in the Ultranaut program.
Out of reach of his naval parents, Zalan could forge his own legacy, have his own dreams. He would fight for his Empress, for his Empire, for when his parents had failed him the Eternal Empire had not. It gave him the way out. Now, he wanted to do more than just get out: He wanted to spread his own name. No matter the cost.
