PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Arcann is a charismatic force of will—equal parts fire and focus. A natural showman, he speaks with passion, conviction, and the kind of presence that commands a room without shouting. He carries himself like a warrior, but one who has transcended the battlefield and now wields words like weapons.

He is fiercely loyal to people—not institutions—and places principle above protocol. Arcann believes in moral clarity, but not rigidity. He can argue fiercely without belittling, and he listens with intent, not obligation.

While charming and warm in personal circles, Arcann in the public eye is a storm—inspiring, unyielding, and impossible to ignore. He doesn't posture for applause, yet the applause finds him anyway. There's a quiet pride in him—not arrogance—but the self-assured confidence of a man who knows exactly who he is, what he stands for, and what line he will never cross.



Core Beliefs & Philosophy:
  • "Service should elevate the people, not the servant."
    Arcann views public office as a continuation of military service—a duty, not a platform. He abhors career politicians who exploit status, and believes in earning trust every day.
  • "Ethics are non-negotiable."
    There are no gray areas in integrity for Arcann. He believes that ethical shortcuts are the root of most systemic failures. "The moment you compromise once, you'll do it again. And again. Until you don't recognize yourself."
  • "Power without restraint is corruption waiting for permission."
    Arcann's experience in military command taught him that strength must be tempered by empathy and accountability. He's seen what happens when leaders lose sight of the people behind policies.
  • "Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the triumph of dialogue."
    While once a battlefield tactician, Arcann now believes debate is the new battleground. He trains himself constantly in diplomacy, rhetoric, and logic—not to win arguments, but to win justice.
  • "You don't lead because you want to be followed. You lead because someone has to take the first step."
    Arcann doesn't chase leadership; it follows him. He'd rather see others rise—especially the next generation—than remain the lone voice at the top.



Public Reputation:
  • Adored by common citizens for his honesty, powerful speeches, and efforts to protect Naboo's sovereignty and justice system.
  • Respected (and feared) by political insiders who know Arcann will never accept backroom deals or veiled threats.
  • Loved by his family, whom he openly credits with making him a better man. His wife, Senya, often appears alongside him, reinforcing their bond as a team of values.
  • Viewed as a modern myth in some circles—a Zakuulan warrior reborn as a Naboo statesman, who walks with both the commoner and the crown.
Ever a "Showman" and a "Playboy", Arcann was not meant for a spotlight, but he is loving it while it will last. His wife Colletta, the love of his life, his wife of thirty years is considered the "dumbest woman in the galaxy" by many as they believe that he is cheating on her. She knows that he never could consider the notion of this, let alone would, theirs is a love story for the ages. He is a Showman, but he is HIGHLY ethical a hard working individual, especially now that he is a Senator. It is not a job of fame or power for him. The people of Atzerri do not work for him, nor the people of the RNR.

He works for them.

STRENGTHS
  • Charismatic Command & Persuasive Integrity

    Arcann possesses a rare fusion of presence and principle—the ability to captivate with his words without compromising truth. He doesn't manipulate; he inspires. Whether addressing the Royal Naboo Senate, a crowd of civilians, or a hostile panel of political adversaries, Arcann's voice carries the unmistakable weight of conviction.

    This is not theatrical bravado—it's emotional clarity combined with strategic articulation. He knows exactly how to turn righteous anger into momentum, and passion into policy. His charisma isn't about making people like him; it's about making them believe in something again.

    "You don't need to agree with him to feel his truth land in your chest." — Fellow Naboo Senator
  • Unyielding Moral Compass (Especially Under Pressure)

    Arcann's second great strength lies in his ethical immovability—particularly when tempted, threatened, or isolated. He doesn't waver, not even for political survival. When cornered, Arcann grows clearer, not louder.

    This strength was forged in his military career, tested on the battlefield, and refined in public service. When others fold for power, Arcann doubles down on integrity, even if it costs him allies, influence, or position. That courage in the face of compromise is what has earned him loyalty among those who serve with him and fear among those who try to buy him.

    "Arcann cannot be bought. He cannot be bullied. And he cannot be broken. That's why he's dangerous to the corrupt." — Atzerri journalist
WEAKNESSES
  • Emotionally Volatile When Betrayed
Arcann's passion is his power—but it can also be his greatest vulnerability. While he's normally in control, betrayal—especially by someone he trusted—cuts him deeply. His sense of justice becomes personal, and his emotions can cloud his judgment in the moment.

Though he never acts out of vengeance, he may become reckless in pursuit of accountability, burning bridges that might have served a greater purpose later. In these moments, he stops thinking tactically and starts fighting ideologically, even when diplomacy would better serve.

"When Arcann feels betrayed, he doesn't raise his voice—he raises the bar so high that no one else can meet it."
  • Tendency Toward Martyrdom
Arcann often shoulders more than he needs to—emotionally, politically, and even physically. He has a subconscious belief that he must personally bear the burden of protecting the ideals he fights for, which makes him reluctant to delegate or ask for help.

This can lead to burnout, isolation, and an unhealthy habit of putting himself in the line of fire—literally and figuratively—even when others are ready to stand beside him. It's not about ego; it's about a savior complex he doesn't yet recognize.

"Arcann doesn't want to be a hero. But sometimes, he refuses to let anyone else try."

HISTORY

Born of Legacy. Forged in Service. Defined by Honor.

In the year 860 ABY, amidst the shimmering skyscrapers and cybernetic serenity of Zakuul, two fraternal brothers entered the galaxy—Arcann and Thexann Pehnataur Thexann Pehnataur . Named after the infamous twin princes of Zakuulan legend, their parents believed that greatness was not just in names, but in the choices one made. Raised in the shadow of a rich but tumultuous imperial past, the brothers were taught discipline, duty, and compassion in equal measure.

From a young age, they stood apart—not for their abilities, but for their unwavering principles. Where Arcann was the bold firebrand, charismatic and expressive, Thexann was the steady hand, quiet but deeply analytical. Together, they were a balance of action and contemplation.

Service to the Stars

At 18, both enlisted in the Zakuulan Defense Force, swearing their lives to protect their people, not power. Their natural synergy—Arcann's tactical brilliance and Thexann's strategic patience—made them indispensable in fleet coordination and planetary security.

Over the decades, their names became synonymous with integrity, restraint, and valor. They diffused riots without unnecessary violence. They led successful peacekeeping missions across Wild Space. And when asked to endorse political strongmen in exchange for rapid promotions—they refused.

Their loyalty was to the people, not ambition.

After thirty years of distinguished service, they were honored with the Shield of Zakuul, the highest decoration for ethical military command. Instead of clinging to their stations, they chose a rare path for warriors—they retired.

Not to fade, but to finally live.




A Life of Peace, and Love

In retirement, the brothers traveled the stars freely for the first time not under orders, but out of wonder.

On the vibrant world of Atzerri, Arcann found more than breathtaking landscapes and bustling markets—he found love in a local diplomat named Senya Revell, whose fiery heart matched his own. Their union was one of passion, full of debate, laughter, and shared ideals. Together, they raised two daughters—both inheriting their father's boldness and mother's sense of justice.

Thexann, meanwhile, was drawn to the industrial relics and hidden resilience of Belazura. There, he met Elira Voss, a historian and civic planner who saw in him not just a veteran, but a man of immense quiet wisdom. Thexann's life grew calm and joyful, raising a son and daughter in a home filled with books, quiet gardens, and endless stories under Belazura's beautiful skies.




Statesmen of Two Worlds

When war drums began to echo across the Outer Rim again in the early 900s ABY, both brothers knew they could not sit idle. Not as warriors—but as advocates.

Arcann was invited to serve as a planetary representative within the Royal Naboo Republic, his magnetic speeches and fierce moral compass galvanizing reforms and civil protections. His military experience brought credibility, but his heart won people over. He was dubbed "The Blazing Voice of Naboo" by a local news source in Atzerri—never afraid to speak truth to power.

Meanwhile, Thexann was recruited to represent Belazura within the Galactic Alliance Assembly. Though he spoke sparingly, his words carried weight. Known for dismantling corrupt proposals with a few carefully chosen sentences, Thexann became a force feared by the dishonest. His colleagues called him "The Silent Hammer."

They were intimidating, not because of physicality—but because of unshakable honor. They could not be bribed. They could not be pressured. Lobbyists left their offices empty-handed. Opponents respected them, even when they clashed.
