Cora Katar

**Cora Katar** is a **soul** **elemental** **human** from the planet **Aman**. She served with the **Genus Unity** and on the **Genus Committee** during the **Great Elemental War**.

Growing up on Aman, she was a reasonable and mature child. She was found by Genus Savant **Akeyiro Shysa**. However, Cora’s father, **Artin Katar**, didn’t want her to leave. But, he recognized the aid the Genus could give her, letting her go.

Being inducted into the Unity, she was close friends with **Ty Ren**, who was inducted in the Unity around the same time as her. Throughout their years of involvement with one another, they became close and even love interests. After passing **Mistress Iola**’s tests, she was given her elemental crystal of soul. She was given to **Taf Nadur** to be trained under, strengthening her ties as a Genus Negotiator.

In 0 BBT after Ren’s death, she mourned for many days, even weeks on end. However, this strengthened her connection with the **Ancients**, seeking out their connections to strengthen her mind and soul.

During the warfront, she spent a lot of her time negotiating with other potential planetary allies and meditating on the Ancients. Her connection with the Ancients strengthened throughout the years, allowing her advancement in her elemental nature.

In 3 ABT, Cora was one of the few Genus to escape the **Grand Genus Pantheon** of **Thyrian** before its destruction. She, like many other Genus, went on the run, opting to help out other pantheons. She, along with **Parker Ardent**, became close and were the right hand aids to **Grand Savant** **Kendar**.

In 5 ABT, she aided the Genus Pantheon on **Pheron** in standing against the forces of the **Cyclopean Federation** and the **Malus Sect**. During this battle, she was slain by the Malus, protecting other Genus from escaping.

Her legacy would go on as Parker recognized her bravery and his friend throughout the war, ultimately naming his first son’s middle name after her. Often times, **Tylon Ardent** reminded Parker of the former Genus Savant, allowing him to actively train him in the methods Katar used.

## Biography

### Early Life

Born in 46 BBT, Cora lived on her homeworld of Aman, experiencing the busy nature of the transportation units and the assistance of the Supremacy. Her mother, Lara Katar, died at birth and her father, Artin Katar, was her main source of guidance thoughtout her childhood.

When she was about 5 years old in 41 BBT, Cora showed a very calm and collected nature to herself. She was never childish, learning quickly about what was right and what was wrong. This allowed her to get her powers of the elemental force recognized easier.

Around 40 BBT, Akeyiro Shysa went to Aman in search of Cora. Though her father didn't want to leave her, he thought that Cora would be better off with the Genus as he knew they were good people and loyal to their own kind.

#### Taken into the Genus Order

When Cora arrived on Planetoid, she felt like she was at home, as she was surrounded by many different creatures and beings like her. She turned out to be mildly popular, being able to connect and become friends with most of the students in her class.

In the Hall of Learning, Cora spent most of her time relaxing, meditating, and reading the books around her on various subjects. She was mainly interested in the phycology of different species in the galaxy, which functioned differently depending on the species. As she went to the Hall of Learning, she continued to see Ty Ren, a member in her class whom she had barely talked to since he always seemed to be secluded. Over time, she started to talk to him and they developed a friendship that kept them close together as they went through their years at the Genus Temple on Planetoid.

### Becoming a Tyro

During her time at the Genus Order, Cora started to learn a lot more about the forms of fighting with the element sword. Many Genus masters realized that Cora liked to meditate and study the ways of the elements, making her calmer by nature.

When Cora went through her juvenis ceremony, she took her time under Mistress Iola's spells. When she gained her crystal, it was recognized as the element of soul.

As Mistress Iola starts to feel the minds of the Juvenis to see what they could become in the Genus Order, she realizes that Cora has already made a strong decision in the matter. Cora gets chosen to become a Genus Negotiator. When Cora learns this, she goes to tell Ty Ren, who is still confused as to what group he would like to join. She convinces him to become a Genus Negotiator, since he seems very passive.

After every Tyro was given a role in the Genus Order, When doing this, Cora went before the masters and was chosen by Taf Nadur as she was interested in the Genus Negotiator section of the order. This allowed her to study more of the ways in which human works and allow her to see different political views in the galaxy.

#### Training with Taf Nadur

When Cora was first training with Nadur, she didn't think that he was a good master as he never really did anything exciting. Nadur told Cora to meditate more often so they could learn more about the elemental force.

Cora didn't like this and would often sneak around to find some broadcasts of the Congress whenever a large meeting was occurring on another world. When Kendar found her, he told her that the life of a Genus doesn't mean that they have to be in the forefront at all times. When Nadur found her, he reported that they had to travel to Nero to try to have the allegiance of the planet on the side of the Supremacy.

When they traveled to the planet, Cora started to see many different creatures that she had never seen before. She experienced the T'gane species, who were known to be very passive. Though this wasn't a problem, some of the most powerful Genus could sense the rise of something dark and wanted to make sure planets were secure. Though the T'gane decided that it was best to be neutral, Cora decided to show off her knowledge of certain planets that are under control by crime bosses like Tanizandar Pellegrino. Though the T'gane felt bad for the planets, they decided that war brings nothing but destruction.

Traveling back to the Genus Temple, Cora felt angered but Nadur congradulated her. He explained that they will never get the alliance of every planet. Nadur thought that Cora did a good job in terms of showing off what was wrong in the galaxy but her aggressive nature towards turning the tide will have to be dialed down. As they flew back to the temple, Cora wrote down an idea in her notebook, listing the first species and planet she had come in contact with outside of the temple.

As Chase starts to fight with Kai, Katar starts to sense Chase's feelings as she feels his soul. He doesn't really want to fight and he's been hiding all his life. She almost wants to stop it but knows that Torum wouldn't allow it. Suddenly, Lo starts to tell Katar about the council's feelings towards Chase, worrying her even more. She starts to think that they should separate Chase a little bit more until he gets more comfortable but Torum disagrees. Torum doesn't want Chase to be driven away so they leave the idea alone.

When Chase starts to get angered and fight back, he starts to worry the masters and Katar starts to run down to the ground and help stop the fight.
