POSSESSIONS
Miraluka Mask
The mask that Rakieh wears was a gift from his father, an alleged family heirloom, passed down from father to first son every generation as a reminder of how grand the family might once have been. This particular mask was given to Rakieh as a right of passage, a symbol of Rakieh's transition from boy into man, and as such, served as a symbol for Rakieh's new found freedom. It eventually became his inspiration for seeking out the Force, and later, his inspiration for bringing together the scattered remnants of the Atur Legacy.
Sasori Robes
Given to him by his first master within the Silver Jedi Order, Master Syn, Rakieh has spent some time fiddling with the appearance of the robes, trying to find some form of appeal and personal expression in humility. The result was something semi-worn looking, but appealing to the eye in series of earthy tones.
Energy Shield
RAKIEH ATUR'S ENERGY SHIELD
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
The shield has no exposed physical switch. Instead, it contains an internal switch which can be toggle by focusing on its position and changing the state of the switch, toggling the shield to retract or extend (only to "opened" and "closed" states). While in "opened" state, the shield is resistant to all means of weaponry, but does not absorb any force associate with the blows it takes.

DESCRIPTION
In order to suit Rakieh's unique style of combat, Rakieh sought out to design a shield that could mimic Gungan personal energy shields, and then from that, develop a style of lightsaber combat that would incorporate the defensive capabilities of a shield. Coupled with his Saber Spear, the shield offers the ability to defend while not only keeping the opponent at bay and as far away as possible, but to attack aggressively without fear of leaving one's vital locations open to attacks in the process. This allows Rakieh to apply much of his knowledge of Ataru to his style without worrying about the defensive limitations the style originally had.
In short, the shield excels at what a shield was designed to do: offer an extra layer of defense. On the flip side, despite being light, the shield can be quite cumbersome and difficult to maneuver with. This issue can be avoided by constantly toggling the shield on and off, but as a consequence you would be leaving openings in your defense quite often by simply engaging in the process itself. Similarly, the shield can be manipulated by a wise, force-sensitive opponent, and could defeat the purpose of having the shield all together.
The only possible abuse I could see is constantly keeping the shield on in order to induce radiation poisoning within an opponent, and then, having likely contracted it as well, using detoxify poison (force ability) to be rid of it, suffering no adverse effects.

RAKIEH ATUR'S SABER SPEAR

DESCRIPTION
Rakieh's Saber Spear, from a philosophical standpoint, was designed to test the extent and reach of his will, granted to him by the Force. From a combat standpoint, the Saber Spear was designed to meet standards of his combat style that the lightsaber couldn't on its own, such as granting him more elaborate moves in his favoured lightsaber form, form IV, Ataru. The idea of the weapon from a defense standpoint was to toss aside conventional defenses for more control of the battle itself, using long jabs, swings, and parries to keep the opponent at bay while still being able to push with an aggressive attack.
Whereas Ataru was concerned, though the length of the weapon would force him to use more energy exercising the form, the motions and movements he could pull off would not only be more elaborate but significantly more confusing to the opponent, typically portraying themselves in large, defensive sweeps, or quick, offensive, almost area of effect attacks, designed to take the opponent off guard.

DESCRIPTION
Rakieh's Saber Dao was designed more as an aspect of show than of combat, initially at least. It was with the design of Saber Dao that Rakieh wanted to showcase his knowledge of Ataru, and use it accent the style and turn it into an art. From a smidgen of naivety, it was designed so that Rakieh could fight and bring out the beauty in battle, if there was any, and turn it into an art.
From a functionality standpoint, the use of the Dao in Rakieh's hands is very fluid and artistic, taking heavy inspiration from the form IV Ataru lightsaber combat. It was designed later down the line with the intention of making it very easy to transition into force augmented combat, and later, if he should learn it, to transition seamlessly into the form III Soresu, in case of desperate defensive measures.

BIOGRAPHY
History of the Atur Legacy
The Atur Legacy has been around for centuries. Since even before the great Jedi-Sith War of the Old Republic Era, the Atur Legacy has been small but around. The most notable beginnings of this particular legacy start not shortly after the beginning of the aforementioned Jedi-Sith War, beginning with a Sith Pureblood who had failed her trials to become a Sith, studying under a master with the hopes of carrying out the will of Marka Ragnos. During one of her final trials, studying portions of text within The Tomb of Marka Ragnos, Luon Rhevmua was attacked by her fellow acolytes, seeking to remove her from the large pool of competition. Luon, being stronger than her opponents with the dark side, likely would have defeated her opponents in the incursion had she not been so concerned with preserving the ancient teachings of Marka Ragnos, and as such, fell quickly in battle with an unexpected slice to the outer side of the right abdomen. Though her fight was over, and by all intents and purposes she should have died by the blade of one of the acolytes, it was almost as though the Force had been with her when a Miraluka slave, Sakef Atur, forced in some sadistic fashion to undergo the Sith trials, had sprung to her rescue, having quickly disarmed and subdued her opponents, as they had not been concerned with his presence.
The two would quickly flee to Alpherides, and then from there to Alderaan, where the two would settle down and being the first notable and family document histories of the Atur Legacy.
Though the bloodline of the family is predominantly Miraluka, Sith blood always found its way into the bloodline of the Atur. The first introduction of Sith blood began with Luon, and usually continued to find its way in every few generations, being barely visible or invisible by that time. The mix of these two particular bloods had a tendency to result in odd behaviour and personalities within Atur descendants, generally clearing up and becoming less frequent as the family developed without new introductions of Sith blood. From time to time, other types of bloodlines would be introduced, moat being less notable or unnamed near-human bloodlines, the most notable and most recent of such being Fay and Zeltron. There was an instance in which, nearing the end of the Jedi-Sith War, when an Atur descendant, Kranus Nuhai-Atur, fell in love and eventually married a Chiss Jedi Knight, Prisk’apizu’aega, more commonly known as Prisk or Skapizu. Unfortunately, the Aega-Atur family didn’t survive long, as Kranus and Prisk’s only child, Zawian, didn’t survive childbirth, and Prisk died shortly after that.
A huge portion of family history, and furthermore, the size of the family, was lost during the events of the Gulag Plague. The remnants of the family found a home on four different planets, all far from each other: Ord Trasi, Ziost, Sullust, and Csilla.
The current remnants of the Atur Legacy exist in four separate extended families, which, despite the distance, are still close to each other, though still somewhat unknown to one another.
Born to a small family on the planet of Ord Trasi, Rakieh has lived a fairly pleasant and undisturbed life. Rakieh, like all Miraluka, was very much so Force-sensitive, however, by his father's will, kept his abilities suppressed and contained in order to only serve him in the use of daily functions. Long before Rakieh's birth, the Atur family shunned from themselves any exposure to the Force, or at least shunned themselves from any exposure they could help with. It had been a long held family belief that curse of the Gulag Plague was due in part to the existence of too many entities drawing power from the Force, and thus their pledge, however small they are in numbers, would decrease the total amount of Force drawn into the living. Thus, Rakieh's life was simple: for most of his life, he had worked with his family within a small enclave of engineers, which spent all of their time designing and applying new forms of communication and weaponry.
However, Rakieh had always had a stronger connection to the Force than his family anticipated, and during times of distress or, in general, instances of negativity or extreme positivity, Rakieh would shift, both in person and in the Force, and would from time to time use it more than his family doctrine would allow. Granted his parents, Feheen and Amveh, were much more impartial to their son's force sensitivity, and as such it was always a spot of concern for them. Perhaps this concern was well placed as well.
Rakieh's connection to the Force drew him into an infinite well of curiosity. As a a result, Rakieh eventually pursued knowledge of the Force, leaving his home planet of Ord Trasi in search for meaning in his life, or rather, in search of a person who could show him the intimate intricacies of the Force.
