[b][u][color=white]Appearance[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Airus stands roughly two meters tall, with a muscular build that reflects his own constant training, his weight is around ninety kilograms thanks to his rather dedicated psychical training. Tufts of red hair often poke out from under his hood and the bandages that are wrapped around his head. Scars mostly healed along his chest, while usually wrapped in traditional Jedi robes Airus does favor bolder color choices closer to home or when traveling on trips that involve less crawling through the dirt. 

With pale skinned tanned from field work and days spent looking for items or gathering information scholars within the temple requested. At a distance with his hood up, many assume Airus is much older than he appears upon lowering it the Miraluka's rather unblemished skin, with a strong jawline his usual clothes looking more akin to traveling pilgrim or settler as he assists in dig sites, archive recovery, and taking younglings on tours of Jedi heritage sites. He also keeps a small military locker with extra robes, tools, and equipment on board his ship so he can change clothes changing out equipment between missions. [/b][/color][/indent][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Personality[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Once serving as member of the Lukasene Airus training as a force capable individual saw him learn a great deal. Yet his hunger for knowledge drove him towards wanting to leave his homeworld, however under Imperial quarantine Alpheridies was the only place Miraluka were legally allowed to live. As such this fueled his curiosity for the wider galaxy and his desire to travel even more, as well pushed him to read more in to the stories an tales of the Jedi who them had closely worked with before the Empire. A peaceful person at heart Airus believes in the stories and will often put protecting others before himself, though slow choose violence his teaching from the Lukasene make him more of a danger than most realize to his foes. With force training and natural command of sense abilities it is hard to get the drop on a Miraluka.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Lightsaber[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Two sabers, one in blue curved other one straight in green. [/b][/color][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Skills[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Form III Soresu: A defensive style at heart Airus prefers endurance to aggression, mixing in strikes once an opponent begins to give ground. Taking naturally to the form as it reminds him of staff training he had under the Lukasene, focusing more on keeping preserving ones self over harming the enemy. Airus's talent as an empath means he can understand those around him and prefers to try and use the time stalling to talk with an opponent Dun Moch a principle of combat to make one unsure of their intentions to increase your chances of victory.

Rebel Interrogator and officer: Being a Miraluka and raised on Alpheridies by the Lukasene Airus is more adept at the force and it's more common aspects, though his ability is above most members he was not overly talented in the force. His time serving in Alliance Special Forces gave him time to hone combat skills, command, and tactics in concert with his natural sensory power. Best at using sense powers such as his naturally empathy and force sight combined together he can read most people like a book. He was invaluable to the rebellion in learning the secrets of captured Imperials.

Brilliant scholar: Airus was raised on stories from his family on the Jedi order and the great heroes of old. While Miraluka treat their entire people as one family, Airus grand parents were caretakers at the Jedi temple long ago. As such he eagerly devours books, stories, and more his family records even state that their have been several Jedi who were part of his family, as the Vel Aath name comes from his father who was a human. He would love to discover the stories of the great Vel Aath's who came before him.[/b][/color][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Equipment[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][color=A1A1A1][b] A set of traveling robes, his lightsabers, a wooden staff, datapad, commbead, and Jedi utility belt. [/b][/color][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Weakness[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Overly curious: Airus can't help but want to learn and absorb knowledge, he can't leave a stone unturned or a lever unpulled when it comes to delving into temples and libraries. It is as much as hindrance as it is a help ancient traps and puzzles have been set off and solved by his impressive mind.[/b]

Special Operations: Airus has seen the worst the Imperial government has done and been to the worst places where he could not help everyone. It colors his opinions on the old Imperial government especially any former officers or soldiers who could have participated in the Empire's horrible works. Due to his people being forcefully relocated and trapped on their homeworld and colonies for perceived loyalty to the Jedi justified or not. 

It's not gambling if you always win: During his time in the rebellion Airus found a fondness for card sharking his unique form of sight and sensory skills allowed him to read people. He put this to use making credits off of other individuals especially in Hutt space, where he is now banned from several casino and some individuals even have a bounty on him.

Book smart, not street smart: Airus lacks the upbringing of those that participated or at least were able to live under Imperial control. Alpheridies was completely cut off from the wider galaxy news, sports, culture, and technology almost never appeared. Only the most daring attempted to slip the blockade, while Airus did escape joining the rebellion and special operations he has never truly had the time to live among people and to get an understand of the culture of the wider galaxy others than the snippets of living with elite grunts he served with in Alliance special operations.[/color][/indent]

[b][u][color=white]Background[/color][/u][/b]
[indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Born on Coruscant, his mother the daughter of two Jedi temple staff. The family would travel to Alpheridies just before the attack on the Jedi Temple. Airus's Zeltron father hailing from a well known inner rim family was cut off from seeing his children when the Empire declared all Miraluka allies of the Jedi and seditious. Airus and Varina Vel Aath were twins given a last name to help give them some connection to their now distant father, though Miraluka custom usually means they do not have one. The twins were quickly found to be far more talented than many of their school mates and were moved into learning with the Lukasene. Ashla was strong in the pair, while Airus's mind hungered for knowledge Varina being born resembling a Zeltron more adored taking inspiration in the world around here, though completely colorblind she painted with what she felt hoping to find people to tell her if they were good one day. 

Airus began training to go down the path of a Seneseeker, yearning to go further while Varina would eventually follow many wondered why they would choose such a path when the Miraluka were trapped within their home. It was because as they grew older and the Lukasene had less to teach the more the pair craved to wander further into the galaxy. The only way out of the system however would be either volunteering to help the rebellion or paying one of the handful of smugglers brave enough to run the blockades. So Airus and Varina at seventeen offered their services to the rebel cell exchange for their escape. Two talented force using individuals were always of use to the rebel alliance.

Serving for years to come Varina would take a position within the rebel fleet, while Airus for his outstanding skill and dedication found a new home in Alliance Special Operations. Pulling stormtroopers out of cover, sensing foes behind walls, and putting his melee skills to use against his units enemies Airus found himself not only a valuable soldiers but a confident to many. His skill as a empath meant he could easily bond to others and sense their turmoil. He could talk with others and help them face their issues going forward.  It had him useful in finding targets, sensing out the truth in Imperials, and avoiding enemy patrols.

Though in the later parts of the war Airus main service was gaining information from unwilling Imperial Officers and officials. By reading their emotional states and aura as they were placed under duress and asked questions, psychological and physical distress were methods the rebellion employed on Imperials when need be and sometimes Airus had to apply these himself if not one else could in a given situation.   

After the battle of Endor Airus's service moved more into scouting and reclamation, though he was called back a number of times he preferred to spend his time sifting through ruins and reading through libraries once denied to him because of his species. When the new Jedi Order formed, Airus and Varina were eagerly brought in to learn from the Knights. Both had previous training and knowledge of the old order thanks to their ties to the Jedi Orders old allies. As such both were already aware of paths they wish to tread, though Airus shows remarkable affinity for saber combat for someone more interested in scholarly pursuits, showing casing his more violent past with the Rebellion.[/b][/color][/indent]
