[b]Trained at:[/b] Culu Memorial Center, Alpheridies.
[b]Appearance:[/b] 
Altarae wears the regular humble attire of a Jedi, wearing a light tan tunic, vest, and pants as a first lair. He is then covered by a longer traditional brown hooded robe. He also wears the standard Jedi utility belt, complete with communicator and datapad. At his waist is his standard lightsaber model, powered by a green crystal. 

One of the few nice items that Altarae owns is the cloth with which hides his eyes. It is a rare white silk, unstained. He wears it placed securely over his eyes with a double knot he mastered nearly as a toddler. He wears it securely so that it doesn’t move even when he is jumping or running. This and his Lightsaber are the only two items are the only possessions of his he still holds attachment to.

[b]Personality:[/b]
 Altarae is a creature of action, believing that it is actions and not words which shape the galaxy. Because of this, he has occasionally struggled with Master Vesos traditionalist mentoring style. Nonetheless, he has proven himself a capable Jedi and appears to be entering into his prime. Though sometimes rash and impatient in nature, his natural ability to improvise has saved him from many a bad outcome. 

Having suffered in his early life from the effects of the Great Sith War, specifically the bombardment of his homeworld by Mandolorians, he has especially despised their kind nearly his entire life. He feels they took the war too far, slaughtering children and women with no regard. This has helped mold him into the person he is today, even if he does not know it. He wishes for nothing more than to be a swift deliverer of Justice and Vengeance upon those who prey upon the weak and helpless.

[b]Story Thus Far:[/b]

Altarae was born into the struggling world of Alpheridies in the year 3,990 BBY. It had been only six years since the Mandolorian Subjugation of their people during the Great Sith War. Even so, the Miraluka struggled to rebuild. Altarae was the the only child of a father and mother who had lost all of their children during the war. His father, who helped lead the reconstruction efforts, even aided in the building of Culu Memorial Center. His mother, meanwhile, was one of the administrators of the Luka Sene. She had refined her abilities in the Force through Meditation and education with the organization, and had aspirations for Altarae to go on as part of the Luka Sene as she did. 

 Altarae’s Father unfortunately, had other ideas. As the more he worked on the Memorial Center, the more he became interested in the lessons and philosophy of the Jedi Code. Though he himself was fairly weak in the Force, only able to use it enough to see, as all his people could. Instead he channeled his dreams of being a Jedi onto his only surviving child, and would be overjoyed when Altarae began to show ability in the Force at a young age.

Altarae developing abilities in the Force would lead to immediate great happiness and satisfaction from both his parents, though this was short lived. His Mother became overjoyed at her sons qualifications to join her organization. Yet his Father argued with her over his own dream of having his son as a Jedi, and the two soon took to bickering. Altarae ran from his parents’ home, and ended up getting lost in the city.

Altarae was soon cornered by vicious thugs, who threatened to kill him if he didn’t give them credits he didn’t have. Remarkably, he was saved by a local Jedi Instructor who killed the thugs. This instilled within Altarae a deep sense of conviction and yearning to bring scum like that to Justice. He would return home soon after, informing his parents he wanted to be a Jedi.

Much to the chagrin of his mother, Altarae would begin his career as a Jedi by attending the Culu Memorial Center in the year 3,982 BBY. He began his time as an Initiate at the age of eight, and would remain there for a decade. He made few friends during this time, as he had never been one to socialize with others unless required. Not that he specifically disliked companionship, but more so that he believed in actions rather than words. Because of this, he said little, and as such had a hard time with the subtleties of diplomacy. 

Graduating from the Memorial Center at the age of 18 in the year 3,972 BBY as a Padawan, he would go on to learn the ability Force Sense. He was then assigned to Jedi Master Vesos Nirn, a veteran of the Great Sith War. The two got along well enough, thought not out of any kind of compatibility in personality. More that Altarae respected the student/mentor relationship too much to ever question or argue with Vesos. Though both of them quiet and reserved beings, they differed greatly in that Vesos was long past the burning enthusiasm of Altarae’s youth. 

Vesos would tutor Altarae over the course of the next seven years and the duo would go on many missions to help rebuild the Republic, including ones on the young Padawans homeworld of Alpheridies. Altarae would prove himself sufficient in both Form 1:Shii-Cho as well as the more recent Form 2: Makashi. This time helped shape Altarae into truly learning what a Jedi is in the field, as demonstrated by Vesos. Though they never went on any kind of greatly dramatic mission, Altarae apprehended his fair share of common criminals as part of his training. Something he took great pleasure in doing. 

In 3965 BBY Altarae graduated to the rank of Jedi Knight much to the congratulations of his Master, and during his tutelage he learned the Force ability Combustion. Altarae’s success inspired great happiness in Vesos, and the Knight decided to continue following his Master anyways, out of respect and a willingness to continue learning. Vesos would go on to garner another Apprentice to replace the mostly instructed Altarae. This third and new Apprentice was a Zabrak named Erinoch Corin. For a short period of roughly a year or so, they would form a trio of Jedi, Master, Knight, and Padawan. Altarae was routinely placed in charge of looking after Erinoch during Vesos absences. During these times Altarae would grow to feel fondly for the Zabrak as if he was his own pupil. 

When Revin began his Recruitment drive for a ‘Mercy Corp’ to handle the Mandolorian Invaders in the year 3964 BBY, Altarae was one of the first to rally to his cause. He argued that too long had the Mandolorians gone unchecked, marauding through the universe. He vowed to see Justice brought to the Mandolorians for what they did to the Miraluka homeworld Alpheridies during the Great Sith War.

Even though Jedi Master Vesos had one of his hands cut from him during the Great Sith War by a Mandolorian, he still advocated a policy of non-intervention along with the rest of the Jedi Council. Because of this, Altarae decided to sneak away from his mentor to join the Revanchists. He decided he was a Jedi Knight, and was able to make his own decisions at this point, even if his mentor disagreed with them.

Strangely enough, as he was attempting to sneak away into the night, Altarae was stopped by Vesos young Padawan, Yavo Siln. Yavo had sensed Altarae’s scheme and begged the Jedi Knight not to go and do this. Altarae replied that if he didn’t bring Justice to this lawless galaxy, then who would? Wishing the young student the best in his studies, Altarae would disappear to join the rest of the Crusaders.
