Alara Crow (RP)

"IF YOU HAVE WORSHIPPED POWER, THEN YOU HAVE WORSHIPPED MY MASTER, AND I HAVE COME TO COLLECT HIS TITHES"

## Chronological and Political Information

### Early days

Alara Crowe, born Korriban around approximately 45BBY, had lived a short life with her family, only to about the age of 10, before she'd be found by Varman Ashrani. Her family was heavily involved in a cult they believed would grant them power and protection, simple worldly benefits, and one day, they'd believed their deities called for sacrifice. A sacrifice of innocent flesh. Alara Crowe's father and mother were leaders of said cult, and would be the first to sacrifice their child for their delusions. On that fateful day, as Alara kicked and screamed, writhing against her bindings which drug her to an altar deeming a fate she couldn't understand, she met a real Deity. Her wrists bled as she begged and pleaded through fearful tears to onlookers, who watched in a mixture of timidity, and hunger. An evil desire for her virgin flesh to be burnt at the stake for a truth they did not question once. This evil summoned something much greater and more vile..

A benefactor looked down at the spectacle, flooding the atmosphere with disgust. With one quick motion, the onlookers screams wailed out together into the night, their flesh burning, melting, as the group around the girl descended painfully into the deaths they deserved. The flames extinguished inches beneath her body, she raised her eyes to her benefactor, her savior.

Varman Ashrani looked down upon the girl, interest only visibly piquing when the first words finally came to her shaking and constricted throat, once bound.

"*Th-thank you. If there was a god summoned today, it was you, right?"*

He looked down at the girl, and she gazed back. Through her tears she saw the man begin his plans behind those mysterious golden eyes. To her, no malicious intent or appearance would've stopped her from throwing herself into his arms, sobbing against the larger than life man's robes. *He embraced her.*

***"Be calm, girl. We will show them, won't we?"***

### As time passed,

and the girl grew older, Varman Ashrani would indoctrinate her into the divine path, training her in the force and in the ways of magics. Her age and training advanced, and her true devotion to Ashrani, rather than the power he promised, made her stand out among all the others under his eye. She was rewarded for her loyalty, and reprimanded for her failures. But every lesson learnt through glory or gore, she thanked him for, every tribute she donated to him. She spent more time with him, and he began to favor her, more than the average member of the path. His advice and training was not just of prowess and techniques, but of philosophy and life. The two bonded and she provided a closer bond than she'd ever witnessed him hold to any others. Due to their similar likeness, Alara growing to be much more like him, the two share a father and daughter relationship, aswell as a deity and follower. She would later go on to be not just a project, or a tool, but as an actual ally, of which he seemingly lent trust to. Once she'd come of age, she'd been given her own cult to lead in his name, and a position as an extension of his will and word, The Hand of Ashrani.

### Death.

***"I cannot promise we will be together much longer.. Things are changing.. I need you to do something.."***

***"I need you to die."***

Around 19BBY, Varman Ashrani would begin preparations to shift his soul across universes, but not without taking one possession with him. *His Crow*. He would take her soul along with his, but at the price of her death of her mortal body. The powers were beyond her comprehension, and she had no proof she would ever wake again. But upon his request, Alara Crow took her life in faith and tribute to her lord.

### Resurrection

After enough time had passed, Ashrani had planted the seeds of the Divine eye into this new universe for him to dominate, he would find an acolyte to be used soon as a sentinel that reminded him of a young version of his cherished Crow. With the harvesting of her body, and reclamation of Alara's soul, he would fuse the two, welcoming Alara Crow back into the world of the living, where she continues as Hand of Ashrani, and serving his will now.

### A new world...

After being granted life once again, her body and her soul struggle to fuse, as Crow found herself weaker in the force and strength than before, which led to doubt and shame. Doubt and shame that made her eager to prove herself once again, and far more malicious to any who stood in the way of this. Her body ran cold and her skin appeared pale as she struggled to remind herself and the body that this was hers now, and not a dead girl's. After some time meeting the new members of the divine path, Crow would be tasked with training Veshne Losa'qi-Vez, a Nautolan recruit of the divine eye, and potential corpse, or potential prospect...
