## Biography

### Early Life

Born on the planet of Eriadu to a rich corporate family, Aru was from youth taught in the arts of politics, lobbying and dialogue. Growing up, he would often find himself being the only non-human in his classes, especially due to his specie being one of feline nature, Aru was prone to being targeted by his peers. Albeit the targeting was not one of violent nature due to Aru being physically stronger than any of those around him- he wouldn't focus or rely on his strength in body, rather always focused on mind and knowledge over all else, choosing to spitefully outdo those around him by presenting better grades, rather than throwing petty comments back at them.

Growing up, Aru would present talents in public speaking as well as writing literature that would later spark his interest in politics. Upon finishing his Magister's Degree in Astrophysics, Aru would abandon his pursuit of a science profession and rather applied for a job at the Governor's Office. Aru was accepted and worked in it for several months before the Governor noticed Aru's talents for public speaking, mainly his ability in holding speeches. Governor would promote Aru to his Aide in which position Aru helped the Governor with planning, governing and learned from the man about it all. Canady would write and sometimes hold speeches for the Governor to the Public, making Aru a somewhat of a well known Figure on Eriadu.

### Early Career

Canady went on to represent the Governor in multiple branches of Eriadu's government, as well as outside it. It was at this period that Aru joined **Republic Outland Regions Security Force** and acted as a liaison between Eriadu and ORSF for five years. Once the rates of xenophobia increased on Eriadu due to nobility's actions, the alien miners as well as workers began protests for better working conditions and finer treatment. Governor, with the crisis on his hands and little control over the Noble Houses, decided to endorse Canady to run for the Office of the Senator. Together they would campaign on the Planet and with Canady's eloquent and well-constructed speeches, workers rallied behind him. In his campaign, Canady most notably promised better working conditions, safer equipment and better disposal systems to reduce the pollution on the planet, but most notably the Representation Eriadu deserves. Being the only alien candidate, as well as the only candidate addressing the issues of xenophobia on Eriadu, Canady was the only candidate for the Office of the Senator that was allowed to hold a speech at the mining complexes by the workers. While campaigning, Aru would go on to meet another Cathar that worked as Canady's Campaign staff member. The two would get close during the race, eventually leading to the two dating and later marrying. Quickly gathering the support of the working unions and with the crisis on Eriadu, Canady would see a victory in a landslide. Upon his election, Canady would continue working together with the Governor in fulfilling his campaign promises and has managed to see them all happen through.

### The Senate

During his time within the Senate, Canady pertained to the Eriaduan Tradition of isolationism and not affiliating themselves with unnecessary ties to anyone. Aru would observe from the background as the Galactic Affairs unfolded. Seeing the Coruscanti Asteroid Crisis and the inaction of the presiding Administration, Canady decided to run for Office in which he was supported by several notable factions, but leading him to run against Senator Ri'Van Talyn. In a fierce, close campaign and exchanges of fire between the two, it boiled down to a last battle, the Grand Senate Debate between the candidates. Public speaking being Canady's strongest side, he would firmly prevail in the debate and in the end, win the race for Office.

### The Chancellery

Upon assuming the Chancellery, the now Chancellor Canady managed to resolve the dispute on Carida involving **The Core Republican Alliance** using his usual pragmatic diplomacy.
