A lone boy walks the Hapan city's streets, rain softly pelting down to the planet's surface below in a long, doomed descent to splatter upon any surface they meet. His clothes, of fine make and expensive quality cling to his pallid, emaciated body as he numbly stumbles his way down the cold, dark, lonely street. Two eyes the gentle color of Robin eggs scanning the flashing, ostentatious lights all around him. Flitting to and fro among the signs, citizens and faces all around him even as all the people who take notice of him wonder why at the tiny, pointy-eared child stumbling among their midst. He did not belong here, in this underbelly, his clothing was too fine, his posture too proper and his eyes too wide and innocent for what any street urchin alive at his age would no-doubt be very, very used to seeing. Even so, he trudges on, one small foot in front of the other..... until he spies what he seeks.
A strobing, gaudy sign of a cantina flashes from the side of the street... a familiar sign. As the small child approaches the door the bouncer, a tall, lime-green Trandoshan regards the child with familiar disdain. Despite the bouncer's job, this was not the child's first visit, and he made no move to stop the tiny "elf" that once again timidly pushed aside the doorway to the smoke-hazed, stinking confines beyond. Species of all kinds, whether Hutt or Twilek, Toydarian or Wookie, could be found here enjoying the sins of the Hapan night-life. But it was not them the young Aurelion was looking for. Indeed the small child knew exactly where he was going, to her seat, where she passed out drinking when she thought of father. Where she would be near-comatose with alcohol and grief, barely responsive to her child as the small boy tugged fitfully at his mother's hand. Doing his best to rouse her above the clamorous din of noise all around them. His tiny, quiet voice all but drowned out among the cacophony.
"M-Mother! We need to leave! It's not safe to stay here!"
The woman, beautiful as Hapes was known for, merely gurgled and twitched, bottle still weakly gripped with enough life to tell the boy his mother was not gone... not yet, Tossing her head to the side, facing away from her child she weakly shook her head, slurring and coughing as she tugged back on her arm, somehow, even more weakly than he. Not quite able to free herself from the small, grasping hands.
"Le-...meeee alone. Fffkark off! I'm.. I'm f-... fyyne right where I am!"
Aurelion swallowed, his hands growing cold and clammy, nervously shaking with slightly tremors. A reflex he couldn't help, one born of fear and instinctive reaction, and one he could only barely suppress as the cold, fearful chill wound it's way up his tiny spine like the coils of a dreadful serpent. Tears now freely rolling down his eyes as he hiccuped, wiped his face, and began to pull again. Harder this time, in desperation born of childish terror and dread, his voice rising to a shaky, breaking pitch.
"M-Mama pleeeease we need t-to go! I-I don't want you to stay here! I-I want you to come home!"
There was no response, no verbal response, at first. Instead only a low growl, and a once-limp hand tightening on the neck of the bottle she so desperately clasped. Every single tug stoking her anger as the chorus of squawking, annoying voices only continued to make her head pound and ache, her anger rising like a boiling tide until that voice, that tiny, most annoying voice, spoke again.
"Mother please d-don't stay he-..."
The woman turned, body working off of drunk momentum as she brought her torso around, bottle wielded like some makeshift blade as she brought it down on that shrill, annoying little creature that pulled at her. The side and base of the bottle catching Aurelion in the nose and shattering, while the sharp, lime edge of the container traveled on and cut, deep and biting, into the soft blue sky. Aurelion's head rocked back, sense and balance lost in an instant as he feel back. Landing on his rear while his eyes closed in instinctive pain, but as his hand clasped to his face to touch the place that now burned with pain, he was not surprised. This was not the first time she had hit him......
It would not be the last......
A sudden sticky, warm feeling would meet Aurelion's palm as she stared down at him in her stupor, her chest heaving with drunken anger as Aurelion pawed at his eye like a confused animal. His tiny, pain-wracked body doing it's best to will it open, only to feel that warm, coppery-smelling trail ooze it's way further down his cheek. Aurelion, now crying from his one, seeing eye, hiccuped and sobbed. This was no movie, no cheap holo-film, the bar music did not stop dramatically at the idea of one more bar fight starting, or one more bottle being broken. All around him the music and rambling chattering continued, and he wailed, his voice all but lost, even as he wept, among the sea of strangers and strange voices only she could see him, only she could hear him. The one person that, above all else, he was sure did not care. And as she stumbled to her feet, righting her balance just enough to pick him up in her arms and hold him close, his now bleeding eye being staunched by her hasty application of a wet, embroidered kerchief, she carried him from that place out into the night......
He never went to retrieve her from that place again.
--Ten Years Later--
Aurelion, now a young man, takes a slow, shuddering intake of breathe as he jolts awake in his quarters on Kashyyyk. His hand flying to his eye or, rather, the eye-patch that covered it. The rest of his dream coming to him in a hazy series of fractured memories. His time alone at home with his mother, the drinking, the beatings, the ever-present sense of fear and uncertainty. Then... he remembers a man, middle-aged and kind, finding him, claiming that he had felt Aurelion through something called "The Force". The man mentioned the Jedi, that he was one, and stayed with them for a day. Aurelion remembers the odd, tense feeling the man gave off, as if he had expected to have to stay longer, to convince his mother to hand him over to them peacefully. They wore odd, grimaced expressions when she said she was all too happy to be rid of him.
Aurelion gasped, sweating, as a tear left his one good eye to land in his blanket-covered lap. He quickly wiped the tear away, rubbing at the only working eye he head until it was red and raw with pain, and only then, once he was sure there were no more tears, did he stop. Once he was absolutely certain he could face his fellow Jedi, only once he was certain they would never know it had ever happened, did he get up and prepare for the day.

Aurelion is a quiet boy, soft-spoken and has all but a complete aversion to grown women he's not familiar with. He's not often one to speak his mind and depending on the circumstances he finds himself in getting him to speak can be almost impossible. The truth of the matter is that Aurelion suffers from PTSD from various scenarios that took place during his childhood before he was taken away by the Silver Jedi Order. Not the least of which cost him one of his eyes. Ever since then he has struggled to form close attachments with others despite his kind, gentle demeanor and in general he often simply seeks to avoid drawing attention to himself. Since such a thing often resulted in the worst cases of his childhood trauma.
This trauma extends even so deep as to hamper and fracture Aurelion's control of his Force abilities, causing them to backlash and 'attack' him and his body with a severity dependent on the effort employed with the power. This makes even his most ardent efforts to learn new powers or even meditate a struggle and, from what he sees as a consequence that is utterly HIS fault.... has yet to find anyone to teach him...... -
Strengths and Weaknesses
- Weakness: Aurelion's doubt does not allow him to properly channel his innate Force abilities to their full potential. While he may be strong in the Force Aurelion's inner demons and doubts afflict his ability to harness the Force to such an extent that unless he truly attempts to harness it he feels, even to other Force-trained sensitives, barely more attuned to the Force than a non-Sensitive.
- Weakness: Aurelion has never truly felt at home anywhere, even among his fellow Jedi, and this extend to his acceptance of the Light (and even Dark should he attempt to tap it) side(s) of the Force. As a result his Force powers often lash back at him, his pushes and pulls exerting opposite pressure on him, his healing techniques leaving him with phantom pain of the injury healed, and so on.
- Strength: Despite his shortcomings Aurelion is nothing if not determined. A life of hardship, of never belonging, have left the normally quiet and thoughtful boy with a silent strength of character.
- Strength: Given the traumas of his past Aurelion is able to easily empathize with other people of all walks of life, because the galaxy is nothing if not consistent in it's difficulty. This also makes Aurelion a natural psychologist and strategist, able to more easily predict the tactics and motives of those he is confronted with.
- Weakness: Aurelion's doubt does not allow him to properly channel his innate Force abilities to their full potential. While he may be strong in the Force Aurelion's inner demons and doubts afflict his ability to harness the Force to such an extent that unless he truly attempts to harness it he feels, even to other Force-trained sensitives, barely more attuned to the Force than a non-Sensitive.

V1-T1: Won by Aurelion at a gathering for the SJO, the meeting and budding friendship between the young Padawan and his very independent Astromch companion seems to be far more than mere chance. They seem to have formed a fast, unshakable friendship with one-another. One that Aurelion holds very dear.
Amani Serys: A fellow Padawan within the Order Aurelion met after she clumsily got herself stuck in the trees of Kashyyyk. The two shared some personal details about the other and, aside from T1, is the one organic Aurelion considers to be a friend.
Juno: A Jedi Master whom Aurelion met while exploring the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk. This brave woman saved Aurelion from a Terentatek guarding the artifact he sought. She is, apparently, his new Master. Only time will tell if he feels worthy of being her Padawan.......
Taozi Fuyuan Tal: 'Alor of Clan Tal and someone Aurelion studied under briefly in his time on Tanaab. Even so the young Padawan quickly developed a great respect for her due to her profession and sought her out once again when staying on Kashyyyk became too much for the Force-Sensitive Padawan. She is fierce and is both admired by, and terrifying to, Aurelion.
