Adari
Home to the Adarian race, is a planet covered in snow-capped volcanic mountains. Adari signed a non-aggression treaty with the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. In exchange for Adarian neutrality, the planet supplied large amounts of raw materials to the Empire.
Adarians
An alien race native to the planet Adari, the Adarians are humanoids with unusual cranial structures. Their skulls are elongated and tall, and have a large hole which goes completely through it. They have no ears or noses, and their mouth is ringed with sharp, bony ridges instead of lips. The Adarians make up for the lack of ears with a covering of fine hairs along their skulls that pick up the vibration of sound waves. A series of glands near the skin's surface allows them to smell. Their throats can be distended and filled with air, and the resulting "long call" can be useful as a communication method or a kind of defensive action. The Adarians have a rigid caste system which dominates their society, and they have evolved an advanced technology based on the use of super-cooled carbon-ice computers. They were able to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War by signing a non-agression treaty with the Empire, providing the Empire with unlimited raw materials in return for their neutrality.
Adarese
This was the spoken language of the Adarian race, which consisted of a collection of tonal inflections that could be easily formed by the Adarians' rigid mouth.
Personality:
Skyn is a stubborn, spoiled aristocrat despite her recent experiences with poverty. Her strong will is a source of agitation to others. She doesn't flinch at the sound of danger and is most likely to start fights and arguments, however she refrains from picking them with those in command due to her profound sense of respect. Those who manage to break her snobbish and icy exterior would find her quite warm and friendly. Since she is used to getting her way, she would often loose her temper and quite easily if something does not go according to her needs.

Skyn dodged in the alley as soon as she caught sight of the familiar hover bikes the local authorities made use of. She leaned against the bricked wall as she tried to get hold of her breath. Up above her and the surrounding shanties was a gathering storm. The mass of grey and black clouds reflected much about the current emotions raging through her.
When all light has faded and left her shadowed again she risked a peak around the corner. Temporary relief flooded her system before it was replaced with fear and anticipation again. Sooner or later she would get caught. Her mind wandered back to the past few weeks.
She was to be wedded. Arranged marriages were quite popular in their community. Only she did not want to marry. Especially not the man her parents had in mind. He was corpulent man old enough to be her father. In fact he was considered to be her guardian, but some idiot whom she referred as her father suggested they should tie the two families together. Thus arranged marriage since she was the only daughter. She was raised her whole life knowing this. They groomed her manners to perfection; she herself was seen as the diamond of the family, as much as her dark features clashed with their light genes. She didn't mind being the diamond. All she ever wanted was given to her with the flick of her wrist. Money has never been a problem.
Skyn bit back a sob. Never before has life been so miserable. Everything she knew and cherished was a threat to her. She knew she was caught in an arranged marriage, but she imagined a valiant prince, young, good-natured yet witty. But when she met him for the first time one year ago everything about the image was ruined. He was a corrupt man not in the least ashamed of his doings.
In the next year he tried to court her, but when she refused to respond to his courtship he tried to force himself on her. Were it not for her brother she would be caged in a wedding today. He helped her escape; she lived in secrecy in the shanties. But these people held their own grudge against her heritage and betrayed her in exchange for much needed money. Thus she was on the run again.
She stuck her hand in her pocket, a crumpled paper protruded from it. She found it in one of the shanty families she was staying at. An application form for the Empire when all options failed. |
