## Biography

### A Cog in the Imperial Machine

Around the year 5910 ASA, Goenn Dufréni was born on the planet Praelior, the capital of the Praeliorian Empire. Having been raised as a loyal citizen of the Empire, Goenn was trained to become a soldier. One of his primary objectives was to act as military support imperial Elites during Dremirian hunts. As a adult, Goenn would partake in many of these hunts, and yet over time, he would become disillusioned and disgusted by his role as a soldier.

### A New Life

One day, Goenn decided that he no longer wanted to become a soldier, nor did he want to continue serving the Empire to any capacity.

By means unknown, Goenn wound up on the planet Padisalis in the northern edge of the Praeliorian Remnants, a world whose existence was archived by the Empire but otherwise left undocumented and with a lack of any further detailing. When he landed on Padisalis in a stolen imperial *White Pawn* spacefaring vessel, Goenn was severely injured. Whatever he endured in order to get to Padisalis and survive earned him a scar on the right side of his face and rendered his left hand severed.

The people of Treabia—a town of agriculturalists—took in the former Praeliorian soldier and tended to his wounds. He would quickly go onto meet a Human woman named Bura Lexan, who helped Goenn get back onto his feet after his messy arrival on Padisalis. Goenn was forever grateful to Bura and the two eventually fell in love. They would later elope and would stay married for the rest of their lives. A few years into their marriage, Goenn and Bura had their first daughter Allua. Just a few years after Allua's birth, the couple had their second daughter Sideri.

Many citizens of Treabia would come to respect Goenn and his contributions to the town's workforce. Eventually, most of the town treated Goenn as if he had never lived anywhere else.

### Liberating the Enslaved

The Empire of Rolyra was a powerful polity on Padisalis, comprised of over a hundred thousand loyal imperial citizens who used cruel tactics like slavery and torture to assert their power over others. A number of people from unaffiliated villages were taken captive and enslaved by the Rolyrans.

One day, a liberation movement sparked within the walls of the Rolyran capital. Goenn Lexan arrived with a team of other Treabia townsfolk to help free and escort the enslaved out of the capital. One such individual was the Dremirian Strena, who Goenn and his allies brought back to Treabia along with other freed slaves. Strena and a few other freed individuals remained within the safety of Treabia's stable community, forever thankful for the efforts of everyone involved in the liberation movement.

## Personality and Traits

Goenn was a Praeliorian man and, as such, had completely white skin, hair, and eyes devoid of any visible pupils or irises. He had a scar on his right cheek and a mechanical left hand. His blood was colored a muted teal.

As someone who broke away from the Praeliorian Empire, Goenn was a man who was able to recognize his wrongdoings and try to repent for them. While he was raised with the notion of viewing Dremirians as the enemy, Goenn would grow out of this mindset after developing a strong disillusionment for the Empire. He came to enjoy the simpler side of life, cooking and spending time with his family while also working as a farmer in the grain fields of his adopted home planet. To his core, Goenn was an understanding man, willing to take any risk for his family, his new life, and anyone that represented the peace that he always yearned for in life.

## Skills and Abilities

As a former soldier, Goenn possessed a degree of skill in combat, having survived many battles against Dremirians. He would later go on to adapt field skills as a farmer and homestyle cooking skills as a family man.
