The Hawk Family

Dathomiri. Witches. Lightsiders. Magic. Darkness. 
A large family of force-sensitives is believed to originate from the planet Dathomir. Following the ascension of their ancestor Zaltana, the family became known as being part of the Singing Mountain Clan, a warrior lightside clan located by the Singing Mountain on the planet. Throughout the generations, the family is said to have been associated with good magic alone, focusing strictly on Allyan magic and her laws, until the arrival of Satara Hawk, who despite what she was educated, chose to believe that the Force and their magic were connected due to the Jedi Knight before their first teacher that taught them how to channel their magic. She was the first member of the family to  learn Force Powers, a legacy that has since then been passed down to her children and their children and so on. 
In this day and age, the Hawk family has dispersed throughout the galaxy, becoming not just Jedi but Sith as well. Perhaps the most know member is Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk, a Dathomirian Witch that also become a Jedi Master and who is believed to have dropped a moon on Taris. Another well known family member is Rach Sullen, a Sith Master, who until recently wasn't even known to be a Hawk by blood. One of honorary family members is Ryori Holloway, a Jedi Master currently being considered for a position on the Jedi Council.
The Family has kept their own magical tome through out the generations. It's unclear which family member began it but it was during Zaltana that expended a great deal through her training of numerous young Witches of the Singing Mountain Clan.
Same as with the clan, the Hawk family has a great deal of issues with the Nightsisters clan, most notably due to the attack of the darksided clan on the Singing Mountain during which Hawk members such as Na'ala Hawk and her mate Kir D'Arr were killed and during which Curupira D'Arr Hawk was kidnapped. Since then, members have been discovered to be part of the darkside, such as Rach Sullen while others have turned as well, like Milan Hawk, Áine’ki D'Arr Hawk and Curupira D'Arr Hawk. Milan and Curupira have also taken darksiders as their mates.
These changes bring a new millenion for the family, changes that cannot be overlooked.
==The Bloodline==
===First Documented Hawk===
The Hawk family is a long line of Dathomiri Witches from the Singing Mountain Clan. In the clan history, the first known member was Zaltana Hawk, the first in the family to be placed in the position of a clan mother. It is believed that she lived to be nearly three hundred years old and her rule was long as clan mother was long, inherited by her youngest daughter of Rayen Hawk. Other than Na'ala Hawk having a brief relationship with the clan leader of the Blue Coral Divers clan, no family member has been recorded to produce an offspring which doesn't mean it hasn't happened though.
Much of the family is unknown, including the lineage of the family prior to Zaltana Hawk. While the old Witches possibly knew, including Zaltana's daughters Winona And Shadi, they never spoke of it. And with the two being labeled as traitors and executed by Satara Hawk, the history remained unknown. 
===There is Darkness in her Blood===
The Hawk Family is said to originate from Dathomir, from the Singing Mountain Clan. It is also said they are lighsiders in their definition. However, in the hidden history of the family, facts show that this has not always been true. Having no written history before Zaltana, the family will probably never know its true origins but darkness does in fact exist within their blood. The first two daughters of the Clan Mother Zaltana, Winona and Shadi very much had darkness within them. This was known only to their mother who, because of this knowledge, passed them over when it was time to name her heir and left the Singing Mountain Clan in care to her youngest daughter, Rayen.
Perhaps due to some sort of vengeance, the two sisters took over Rayen's daughter when her mother died - training her, teaching her, aliening her from all that was good for her so they could rule the Clan as they saw fit. And it worked for a while, their plan. Until they convinced the young teenage girl that her own father, a slave of the clan, was planning to overrule her. Due to their already existing influence, their plan worked and Tocho was murdered by his own daughter, an act the girl believed was done for the good of the Clan. But what came later was for the good of all, truly. Having heard the two speak to each other, seeing their true colors for the first time, Satara was over come by Rage and she struck them both down, ending their lives swiftly.
For many generations now, this history has remained unknown. The family did indeed remain in the light. Each member would have their reason for this. For Satara, for example, it was the very presence of her mate Madoc.
The Darkness in the blood would once again manifest itself much later as the family scattered. To this day, the call of darkside has been heard by Milan Hawk, Rach Sullen, Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk, Áine’ki D'Arr Hawk and Curupira D'Arr Hawk, though not in that order. Each have their own personal reasons and tales on why this has happened to them but whatever they are, they are also what keeps them on that other end of the spectrum. The family has been forced to accept the changes that have occurred and having so many lost to the other side, the Matriarch has been forced to accept it as part of who they are now, not wanting to lose more family.
===Singing Mountain Clan Mothers===
Since the ascension of Zaltana Hawk to the throne of the Singing Mountain Clan, the title has been kept in the family and passed down to daughters. How Zaltana came to have the title, there are only legends. Some say, the Clan Mother before her had fallen to the darkside and was exiled from the clan. Others say that the Clan Mother died without an heir and the councilwomen were forced to elect a new leader among them.
At her deathbed, Zaltana selected her youngest, Rayen, to take her place. The redhead Witch would rule the can for a few decades, having produced a single daughter, Satara. Her daughter was only ten years of age when Rayen died at childbirth. Having been left such an important role at such a delicate age, Satara had many wrong advisers before she was truly ready to take the reigns herself and prove herself worthy of the title she had been given. There was exactly one instance where she could not perform her duty - during her second pregnancy, with Kytarra. It was during that time that Satara did what was thought to be unthinkable at the time, selecting her mate Madoc to temporarily become Clan Father. The decision was met with criticism through those few months even though Madoc proved himself to be a just and fair leader.
Many years later, Satara would step down from her spot as clan mother and leave it to her eldest daughter Adel'aide, who had been prepared for it from her earliest years much like her mother before her. Her rule was said to be good and kind though brief. While Adel'aide produced two daughters, Na'ala and Ana'eli, one would become a Clan Healer and the other one would not live on Dathomir for too long so when the time for the Witch to step down, the title was passed to Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk, her granddaughter. A prosperous rule, filled with equal just and fairness as the Clan was used to. Unfortunately, the treads of like would now have her stay Clan Mother for long. It was during a Nightsister attack, in which the exiled Witches returned to the planet to take it over that things went terribly wrong. Not many know for sure but whispers were enough to start the stories. It is said that Ti'Cira lost it that day and switched sides, becoming a Nightsister and helping them destroy their planet.
Having been left without their current leader, the coucilwomen decided that Satara had to take back her title and lead the Clan into a new world and thus it was, with the black haired Witch once more calling herself Clan Mother.
===The Nightsister Attack===
A significant part of the Clan's and family's history is the Nightsister attack that place nearly two decades ago. It came after many years of what was, for the most part a very peaceful and happy era. Though if one read the runes, they would see that even the three Hawk children that had gone missing not before that (Ti'Cira, Ahote and Áine'ki) was also a very bad omen for both the bloodline and the Clan.
The event took place very early, surprising most Witches. What followed was a bloodshed on both ends, leaving many Witches dead. Among those victims were Na'ala Hawk and her mate Kir D'Arr and for along time, it was believed that their youngest Curupira was among the dead. It was the loss of so many family members and the disappearance of others that had brought in a new era for the entire family.
===It's a new Day===
Today, the Hawk family members are scattered all over the galaxy. Having lost their home on Dathomir, the family made a new home on Aaris III along with other lightside Witches. While those that remained with the Clan all those years before went to the new planet, other that have left before remain far away from her. Today, one can find a Hawk anywhere. They mostly move between The Jedi Council, The Sith Council and even as Rogue Nightsisters. With there being so diversity now, the Matriarch has learned not to judge the choice of her children and theirs, but instead, embraces them even with their newly found flaws.
==Accompanying Factors==
===The Family Magical Tome===
The Hawk Magical Tome is a large book containing information on the planet and clan history, list of notable Witches of not just the family but other females that have made an impact on the world of Allyan magic. There is also a great deal of spells listed in the book for which most authors are unknwon. But it was only after it was passed down to Satara Hawk that it received information of the outside worlds, of the Jedi, Sith and other force organisations and a fast resource for Force Powers.
===Trials and Rituals===
The trials and rituals of the family equal those of the Singing Mountain Clan
===Dathomir===
The known homeworld of the Hawk family is the planet of the Witches, Dathomir. It is where Zaltana is said to have lived, ruled and died. It is where her children had their children and those children had theirs. Entire generations spent their entire lives by the Singing Mountain, it the Clan's territory. Even with the Spider Clan inhabiting their Mountain and causing a rift between the two clans, much of their life there was spent in peace and living their everyday lives.
For many wars, family and the Clan have successfully defended their territory and earned their right to remain there generation after generation. It was really at the last great war between the light and dark Witches that sent them away, when the planet became inhabitable.
===Aaris III===
A planet that was believed to be much like Dathomir, covered in jungle and with a rich history of its own, was selected to be the new homeworld of the lightsided Witches. The Allyan Clans relocated there in several ships, taking with them all the Witches that no longer wanted to be on their planet anymore.
The Clans that came together, built a campsite together and built their temporary homes. While the plan is to make their own areas in the future, due to the foreign planet, it was decided to remain together for the time being.

==FAQ==
Who are the Hawks?
The Hawks are a family of Human Force-sensitives, originating form Dathomir. Born as Witches, the members decide which course they wish to follow later in life.
Who can I talk to about the Hawks?
The OOC leader of the family is Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk while the IC Matriarch is Satara Hawk. It's always best to talk to the OOC leader but each member of the family has their own children and such so it's often best to talk to the specific writer. Generally, the best choices are Ti'Cira, Satara, Curupira (the accounts can be easily found on TGC) unless it's about a specific branch of the family.
What are some basic guidelines to being a Hawk?
Basically, 99,9% of the family is force-sensitive but whether they choose to follow said path or not is completely up to the family. Generally, all older characters were born on Dathomir and were raised as Witches, Dathomirian and part of the Singing Mountain Clan. The younger generations have certain factors different but it all depends on who their mother or father is.
Anyone who has been born within the family, was adopted into it or was claimed by a member of the family is considered a Hawk in the eyes of other family members. While divorces are possible for any mated member, it is done formally and before at least one member of the family, preferably before the Matriarch but not mandatory. If one is a member of the family, they also also a member of the Singing Mountain Clan by said ties.
There are specific traits that have already been introduced to the family through the generations and often used. This does not mean a person is supposed to use them but they are what stands out among the members. Some of the more common features are: 
Hair colors	Eye colors
*Black
*Brown
*Red
*Blonde	
*Blue
*Green
*Brown
*Hazel
Are there any restrictions to being a Hawk?
None what so ever in a general senses. It's preferred that the character is Force-sensitive even if they join any of the Neutral factions and as a Force Users, a Hawk can be a Sith, Jedi, Nightsister, etc. (depending which Force factions are currently in place).
There are some restrictions when it comes to physical traits of the family. Ie. heterochromey (eyes of different colors) are a very rare trait within the bloodline and currently specific to Satara Hawk and Chloe Van Derveld. Why someone else in the family would have it would require a specific storyline and should be discused with Satara Hawk or Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk. Another thing that is considered unique to a specific member is silver hair and milky white eyes that belong to Kytarra Hawk. It considered to be the touch of Allya herself and the physical manifestation of her seer abilities. If a new member would like to have either of the traits, it's best of this is discused with Satara or Ti'Cira.
