Rakon Voz

"*Here is what's going to happen. You will tell me everything; you will tell me* in detail *how you found me, you will tell me* in detail *who you are. Vex me in any way, I will starve you on this planet.*"
—Rakon Voz to Shin-Go Boon
**Rakon Voz**, also sometimes known as **Rao Doraki**, is a Kel Dor male anti-Imperial terrorist and seditionist who is the son of Tanen, a former Republic official, and Rahna, a member of the Force-sensitive Baran Do. Born on Dorin, Rakon and his family were transferred to Coruscant with the outbreak of the Clone Wars, which tragically ended in the death of his mother, the imprisonment of his father, and the disappearance of his younger brother, Kraven. Despising the new Galactic Empire that was responsible for these events, Rakon ultimately landed in Imperial prison, but eventually managed to escape, becoming a rebel opposing the tyrannical government.

## Biography

### Early life

Born on the dark and dusty planet Dorin in 40 BBY, Rakon Voz was the son of Tanen Voz, a Republic official, and Rahna Voz, a Force-sensitive member of the Baran Do, as well as the older brother of Kraven Voz, who was born later in his life in 23 BBY. Growing up in a relatively ordinary life on his homeworld, everything changed with the beginning of the Clone Wars. Due to concerns of Separatist influence on Dorin, Rakon’s family was relocated to Coruscant as requested by his father. Despite this, both Rakon and Kraven managed to live relatively safely, although their mother often went to Dorin to convene with the Baran Do.

However, the Clone Wars ended catastrophically with the declaration of Order 66, and the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire. Rakon’s mother was swiftly hunted down and executed by Clone troopers on Dorin due to her Force-sensitivity, and his father was arrested on the charges of conspiracy and treason, never to be seen again. Rakon managed to escape with his younger brother when they had the chance, but were then forced to live in the crime-ridden lower levels of Coruscant, hiding from Imperial forces. With their family torn apart so quickly and without remorse, Rakon grew to hate the Empire, but held onto hope to comfort Kraven. As the years went by, their situation in the lower levels got worse, and Rakon became hardened and cold as a result.

#### Imprisonment and escape

"*They put a hundred thousand credits on you. You really think I’m going to be the only one after you? What did you even do to get such a bounty?*"
—Shin-Go Boon to Rakon Voz
Eventually, Rakon decided it was time to leave Coruscant and find a planet with better living conditions, taking his younger brother with him. Although just as they arrived at the spaceport, they were startled to find that a firefight broke out inside between several gangsters. Not wanting to live in the lower levels anymore no matter the cost, Rakon fought back, and managed to take down a few gangsters. However, before he could escape with his brother to the shuttles, the Empire arrived on scene, arresting the gangsters and Rakon with them. Rakon was separated from his brother and attempted to fight back, but to no avail, losing him as well.

Languishing in an Imperial prison, Rakon was quickly shipped off-world to a planet he didn’t bother to remember. Staying there for a few more years, the Kel Dor’s hatred of the Empire grew even more, and he had lost all hope. But one day, the tides turned when, shockingly, there was a prison riot and the prisoners managed to fight back against the Empire, and escape. This reignited the spark of hope in Rakon, who realized perhaps there was actually a chance they could fight back.

## Personality and traits

Although initially a kind and friendly individual, with much curiosity, Rakon’s personality changed considerably in the aftermath of the Clone Wars and Order 66. With his mother dead and father imprisoned, Rakon grew increasingly hardened as he was forced to live in the lower levels of Coruscant alongside his younger brother Kraven, whom he wanted to keep safe no matter the cost. This wouldn’t last, as Rakon was eventually arrested and separated from his brother, forced to live in prison for several years, although managed to escape. As a result, Rakon became cold, ruthless, and was prone to go into outbursts of rage, especially when dealing with the Galactic Empire. But his hatred of the Empire did not destroy his compassion, and he did genuinely care about the people he wanted to protect, and after escaping prison became hopeful again in his crusade, even thinking he could find his brother and father and restore what was left of his family.

Rakon’s hatred of the Empire would often cloud his judgment, and would never waste a chance at revenge against them. His outbursts of rage, whenever they happened, would also override his senses and perhaps make him do things he otherwise wouldn’t. Due to his Kel Dor physiology, he has to wear a specialized breath mask on most planets in the galaxy in order to survive.

## Skills and abilities

Rakon was incredibly physically strong, significantly more so than the average person. He was moderately good with technology, due to his upbringing, and was knowledgeable on galactic history. Rakon was also iron-willed, and determined enough to never back down from his cause, or give up into despair. He is also very proficient with blasters, favoring rotary blaster cannons, and is a skilled brawler. He is also bilingual to some degree. Since his years in prison, he has become knowledgeable on Imperial procedures and criminal etiquette.
