## Biography

### Early Life

In 5930 ASA, Anto Rauhaa was born on the planet Roxapel, a small planet located in the outer reaches of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. Although he lived during a time when the different states of Roxapel fought one another for control and resources, Rauhaa only heard of this war and did not witness it for himself until adulthood. Rauhaa grew up to be a merchant within the walls of his city, Teua, which was well-fortified and hidden in Roxapel's dense forests. This kept Rauhaa's city out of the ongoing wars for quite some time.

### Fleeing from Roxapel

Sometime in 5956 ASA, the city of Teua was conquered by the Teho Dynasty during their quest to expand their territory. Not too long after, Teua joined the ongoing war when the Ohjaus Empire attacked as a result of becoming Teho Dynasty territory. During this attack, Anto fled his home city, witnessing the warring states of Roxapel fighting one another with cruel, unethical acts of war. This ordeal caused him a great deal of trauma as he eventually fled the planet of Roxapel altogether.

### Help from the *Glass Comet* Crew

Not too long after he fled planet Roxapel, Anto stumbled into the space station of Solitude Plaza, which was where his run-down ship took him before it ran out of fuel to fly any further. There, he ran into the crew of the *Glass Comet*, who saw how damaged he was by his dirtied clothing and despondent, concerning attitude. The leader of the *Glass Comet*s crew, Linh Malina, decided with her crew to help out Anto. Anto agreed to this, without the use of words because of his unresponsive and mortified state. With input from Linh's crewmates—Lydia Jezda, Mysolus Pravo, and Alwyn Nimbus—it was decided that the crew would take Anto to the planet of Shamgriha, where they believed he could be cared for.

Once arriving onto the snowy planet of Shamgriha, Anto was assisted by a Shamgrihan monk, Brother Jado, who brought him into a monastery operated by a pacifistic religion called the Arms of Peace, where people from all walks of life in the galaxy were getting the help they needed to be at peace with themselves and their trauma. At the monastery, Anto also met briefly with Brother Mhenlo and got to chat with Brother Elias and Brother Corbin. Brother Elias argued to Brother Corbin how he found evidence of Shamgriha's supposed history of flat land and oceans as opposed to the snowy, mountainous nature of the planet that it was known for, to which Brother Corbin denied and refused to believe Brother Elias' claims. Brother Elias told Anto that he would get to experience a sort of "mind rewind" while at the monastery, and Brother Corbin assured Anto that the process would be painless.

Brother Jado escorted Anto to a room where he would use a crystal to view Anto's traumatic memories while Anto slept. Brother Jado saw a good gist of the bloodshed that Anto was subjected to, including how he fleed the planet of Roxapel entirely. After understanding Anto's situation, Brother Jado reassured Anto and fully welcomed Anto to stay at the Shamgrihan monastery for as long as he'd like to.

Feeling a lot more comfortable with the idea of staying on Shamgriha, Anto went back to where the *Glass Comet* landed on Shamgriha and thanked the crew that assisted him, who returned the friendly sentiments. Anto bade farewell to the crew of the *Glass Comet*, forever grateful for their decision to take him to the monastery. Anto stayed on Shamgriha for quite some time during his recovery, where he eventually grew to be at peace with his trauma and with himself.

## Personality and Traits

Anto was a tall Penuthecan man with dull, violet-colored skin, four eyes with lavender-colored scleras, indigo-colored hair, and a long tail. He was recognized not only for those traits, but also his facial hair and messy hairstyle.

While reserved and withdrawn in the face of trauma, Anto was always grateful to those who helped him in any capacity. He was grateful to Linh Malina and her fellow crewmates for taking him to Shamgriha, and he was grateful to Brother Jado and the rest of the Shamgrihan monastery for welcoming him with open arms.
