Mikhael Anar

**Mikhael Anar**, nicknamed **Anarchist Mik** by some, was a male Ologan citizen of Faulkner Keep, a Borealan-established colonial outpost settlement on the planet Octus. Once a paramilitary cadet, Anar first came to Faulkner Keep to steal from them. After failing miserably, the people of the town granted him the opportunity to live a new, less destructive lifestyle.

## Biography

### Early Life as a Military Cadet

In 5878 ASA, Mikhael Anar was born on a barren world a few hundred parsecs east of the Lanh Sector. He was brought up in a secret military academy and trained as a cadet, with the promise of one day joining the ranks of an advanced paramilitary group when he became of age. The academy taught Anar to be ruthless and to view raiding the settlements of lesser beings to be an act of righteousness and supremacy.

Throughout his childhood, other cadet children would make fun of Anar for being Ologan, as they deemed him unfitting to be a soldier to any capacity. Fueled by spite, Anar quickly gained a reputation as a reckless wild card. While his true passion was in books and research, he tried his best to build a tough-guy persona for himself with varying degrees of success.

### Leaving for Octus

In 5892 ASA, when Mikhael was fourteen years old, he pulled his most foolhardy maneuver during his time at the academy. He stole a small starship and fled the planet, with the goal of conquering some off-world settlement (all by himself) as a new base for the paramilitary group. He managed to discover the planet Octus, a forested world covered in aspen trees, and decided to make his move. He uncovered the small settlement of Faulkner Keep, deeming the town easy enough to pick off by himself.

Anar failed spectacularly and did not manage to hurt anyone or steal anything of interest. He was quickly captured and imprisoned by the townspeople of Faulkner Keep, who took pity on him because of his young age. While Anar was extremely resistant to the townsfolk, they would always treat him well, feeding him the same quality of meals they ate themselves and tidying up his chamber ever so often. Theodore Faulkner, one of the central founders of Faulkner Keep and a Borealan nobleman of House Faulkner, managed to convince Anar that an opportunity for a new life was possible for him.

While it took much time for Anar to grow out of the destructive, supremacist teachings of the paramilitary group that raised him, he eventually came to view Faulkner Keep as a new home.

## Personality and Traits

Mikhael Anar was an Ologan boy with light grey skin and green eyes. He had no hair and stood at a diminutive height, like most Ologans.

Those who knew Anar recognized him as a rather reckless yet delicate young man who had a false bravado that often overshadowed his actual intellectual abilities. While he was an expert at his studies, he was prone to charge at danger whenever the opportunity presented itself in an attempt to seem braver and tougher than he actually was. Some believed this was Anar's way of trying to prove his worth and physical might to others in spite of his Ologan background.

## Skills and Abilities

While Anar was adequate enough as any other cadet his age in terms of fighting prowess, his strongest skills were in conducting studies and research. He was also an expert at tinkering and crafting, thanks to being well-read.
