BIOGRAPHY
Arah Tizun was born to a litter of 5 to Craso and Jahara on the Cathar home-world of the same name. He was the second of the 5 to enter the galaxy, but he was the last to become an individual as there were some complications with his infancy, in that his vision would not develop. But it was this fault that drove him to prove he was better than that. Though he was second, he is always viewed as the youngest in the litter. From an early age, he began to learn what it meant to be a male cathar - fierce, loyal, vicious. He would quickly learn, through his father, hand-to-hand combat, to be a predator instead of pray, meanwhile, he was thought the history and morals of the species through his mother. Each partner had an equal development of his personality and future.
Being the "black sheep" of his litter, Arah often made top efforts to prove that he wasn't worthless, weak, or need help to accomplish more demanding tasks. Because of this he often trained harder and longer with little to no regard for his own health or safety. There were incidents where he would push to collapse and when people tried to tell him otherwise or try and help him, he would shut down the help of the lectures. At times, it was difficult to speak with him or ask him to ease off during sparring matches. This would continue throughout his childhood and into his early teenage years. This would prove beneficial for Arah, when he joined a local league.
Things seemed to be looking good for Arah when he started in the league. He climbed the tournament standings and was proving to be a true contender. Arah needed to fight, it's what he felt like he had control of. He, to a certain extent, liked to feel the fight; to him he was proving that he wasn't incapable and that he couldn't be held back. But, with a great rise comes a great fall. Days leading up to a match, his competitor kept poking at him and trying to get a rise out of Arah; at first, Arah let it go, it was just 'schoolyard talk' so to speak. But the persistent nature slowly ate away at Arah and eventually, Arah throw the first hit long before the arranged match. The results were not favorable to him, he lost and suffered injuries, including to his ego.
A road of recovery then followed. Arah became more determined during this days, despite the fact that his injuries were not fully healed and was urged to rest and take it easy, Arah kept pushing. He was trapped in his old ways, the ways of proving himself to thous who thought he was weaker - but in all honesty, it was all in his head. No one really thought he was weak, he was just his own worst critic; the person to help him see this was a young cathar female named Jirizi. She was a secret admirer of sorts, and was one of the people who took his recovery serious. Though never mated to one another, they spend exceptional amounts of time together. Through his interacting with Jirizi, he was able to ease up on his old ways - but they never concluded, it was unfinished business and he needed to see it through. It'd be two years before he would get the opportunity to see it through.
Arah went back to fighting. But not as hard as before, he still harbored the feeling of weakness but he knew he couldn't reveal that. He wouldn't be as top of his game like previous, until he got to meet his rival once more. The two met face to face in a scheduled match, watched by the communities of Cathar. Arah vs. Crux. Crux did not hold back, he knew how to get under Arah's fur and he was relentless before the fight even began. Arah tried to take the high road, which worked for a little while... but then he got the upper-hand, it was Arah who was relentless now. Arah unleashed a flurry of blows without giving up, at time he extended his claws delivering wound inducing strikes - wounds would expected, and the use of claws was not prohibited, but it was in excess. Arah had Crux in the corner and was savagely striking him, Arah roared out in a fury and delivered strike after strike, draining the endurance of his opponent, even when Crux hit the ground, Arah continued, the only way to cease the assault was by way of intervention from the spectators. They freed Crux from the battery of Arah before having him sent for medical care - Arah was taken away to decompress. Arah was victorious, but the cost would be too great.
Crux was his littermate, his brother.
After the fight, Arah's family had a hard time speaking with him and that continued tension would soon lead to Arah feeling isolated from not only his family, but friends, and community. To nearly kill a littermate in a pointless attack did not bode well. It became too difficult for Arah to look at his family, let alone speak to them. This turning point resulted in Arah leaving Cathar behind with a great regret, but to him it seemed like the only logical answer and he needed to address it - of course he wouldn't listen to anyone else who would suggest otherwise.
Soon, Arah found himself on Coruscant, a planet you can easily disappear within given the large communities. Here he kept to himself, took up a job with a construction company and did manual labour, he effectively stopped attempting to fight. But he could never avoid the fight, they always seemed to find him. One day, Arah saw recruitment ad for the Sector Rangers, and on a whim he figured he'd give the application a try, thinking nothing of it. He soon became a successful candidate and offered to be sent off for training to become a sector ranger.
Physical Appearance
Arah is a cathar who is taller than the average cathar at a height of 1.9 meters (6'2") weight a cool 86kg (189lbs) of an athletic build. He has no mane or hair, instead he has golden fur with subtle black markings across his body and a accented white marking on his face. His ears are characteristically pointed and he has soft blue eyes, that prove to be a unique identifier.
Arah is often seen wearing a simple white cloth tunic with a leather jacket and leather gloves with the fingers cut down in order to allow him to access his claws and to enhance dexterity. The clothes are just that, simple clothes and afford no real protection save a scratch or two.
Arah typically walks upright in a proud and confident posture. He still speak with an accent to his home-planet.
His voice is gruff.
