Alysanne Drast
Jedi Master

Alysanne Drast was a female human from Korriban who grew up to be a Jedi Master and rebel soldier during the Fires of Rebellion era. She was a descendant of Andraste, the first Empress of the Sith Empire, and her husband Siris, secretly also the first Eternal to serve the Sith Empire. But putting aside her deep heritage and history with the Sith, she rejected the Dark Side at a young age and ran away from home as a teenager, ultimately joining the ranks of the assumed destroyed but still alive Jedi Order.

She was long considered missing by some and dead by most of her family, till she revealed herself years later. Appearing on Corellia in the presence of Mandalorians and another Jedi, she struck down the Imperial flag and declared herself a Jedi to the entire Galaxy. While her declaration of the continued existence of the Jedi Knights brought hope to the hearts of many, it also revealed the existence of the Jedi and the Rebellion to the Sith Empire. As a Jedi Knight and a Commander in the Galactic Alliance and a member of Star Squadron, she served the Force in the hopes freeing the Galaxy from the yolk of the Dark Side. Her actions ultimately earned her a promotion to the rank of Jedi Master, in which capacity she now continues the Force and the people of the Galaxy.

Biography

Almost every aspect of Alysanne's life was already planned out for her before she even born. As a Drast, she was expected to live up to certain expectations and do what was right for the family. Which school she attended, who her friends were, what she wore, where she ate, everything was decided for her. Though she did everything she was asked to, with each passing year the young Drast grew more and more frustrated with her life.

As her sixteenth birthday approached, her frustrations finally reached a point where she could not ignore them anymore. Her parents had declared that after her birthday she would be sent to the Academy to begin her training as a Sith, a decision that both scared and angered her to her very core. Willing to put up with everything her parents her thrown her way till then, this was a decision she was not able to agree with. Since childhood she had feared the Sith, and the type of monsters that had been born when those with the name of Drast took on the mantle of Sith. With no desire to become a monster like them, and fearing that she would have no way to refuse if she stayed, she took the only option left to her and ran away. She wondered the Galaxy with the little money she was able to take with her, enjoying the freedom that she had never known.

Ultimately her wandering brought her to Kashyyyk, to attend the famous Life Day celebration, which despite the best efforts of the Empire the Wookiees celebrated year after year. Wishing to witness the event with her own eyes, she participated in the pilgrimages of the Wookiees, where she was given a vision of her ancestors Alais and Siris. But just as importantly, she ran into a Jedi Master, one of only five Jedi left in the Galaxy. This fateful encounter changed her life, as she began her journey down the path of the Jedi. As a part of the rebellion, she soon had her first encounter with the Wookiee rebel named Greybok, who would in years to come rise to become a General in the Galactic Alliance. Striking a strong with the Wookiee, she was one of the first to join the elite starfighter squadron he put together, the fabled Star Squadron.

Over the course of the next few years she started to come out of her shell, beginning to put aside the insecurities that came with her name. She lead the effort to discover the world of Naboo, and set up a secret rebel base there. But her actions on Corellia, where she accompanied Jedi Master Valentine Rayth in a strike against the Empire, ended up revealing the presence of the Jedi and the rebels to the Sith and the Galaxy at large when the two Jedi were forced to draw their blades to protect their comrades. The actions taken on Corellia had deep ramifications across the Galaxy. Among them the exile of the very Jedi Master who had brought her to the Jedi years ago, the self-imposed exile of another, and the capture of a Jedi at the hands of the Sith. Considering herself responsible for what had happened, she went on a pilgrimage to seek out the holocron of Jedi Master Fennex Zeerda, who had at one time known Andraste herself.

She returned from her pilgrimage to find the Galaxy a changed place, with the Sith having attacked numerous rebel bases, and the disappearance of most of the Jedi Council. But she had come back a changed person, more in command of herself, and it wasn't long before she underwent the trials of knighthood. She ultimately rose to the rank of Jedi Master, at which point she finally returned to Naboo, hoping to gain some close with regards to her failures with the loss of the planet to the Empire. But instead of closure she ran into the Emperor of the Sith Empire, Varyn Rask. Little is known of what transpired between the two, but she was next seen on Korriban, when the planet fell at the hand of unknown invaders, disappearing soon after. She returned to the fold years later, now with a child in tow, whose father's identity she refuses to share with anyone. Now a mother, she has even more reason to defeat the Sith and the Empire, to leave behind a better world for her child to grow up in.

Personality & Traits

Being raised in a strict and disciplinarian environment did nothing to curb Alysanne's cheerful and excitable nature. She is a free spirit, inquisitive, carefree, and adventurous. She is also very kind hearted and compassionate, traits that are not very common within the upper echelons of the Sith Empire, much less among those bearing the name of Drast. Having hidden who she was, partly out of fear and partly out of shame, she has grown past those insecurities and sees herself as her own person. She has matured with age, slowly gaining the wisdom befitting a Jedi Master. Becoming a mother has also granted a newfound respect for life, alongside an even greater drive to defeat the Sith.

Relations

The Twins - Born under mysterious circumstances, in the early months after the attack of the mind-breakers, her twin sons are the guiding light in Alysanne's life. Unlike their mother, who did not know the light of the Jedi till she was well into her teens, the twins have been raised in the ways of the Jedi since the time of their earliest memories. Even when she didn't know it, Alys was already training them in the ways of the light, teaching them right from wrong, good from bad, justice from tyranny. Though she has found it hard to be both mother and Master to the boys, the inquisitiveness and inherent connection they inherited from her and their father, has made the task a whole lot easier for her. While she tries her best to be an impartial and strict teacher, she fears that her instincts as a mother might be hindering their education and their growth as a Jedi. As such, she has off late started to let them have more freedom with the choices they make and the way they go about learning to be a Jedi.

Powers & Abilities

As a Drast, she was given the best education money could buy, and possesses a brilliant mind that allowed her to excel at all her lessons. She was taught how to fence, use firearms, and even fly. Over the years all those skills have improved and evolved with the real world experiences that have helped her grow since she ran away from home. Like most who bear the name of Drast, she was born with the Force, and though she ran away before she could be sent to the Sith Academy, she was given some basic training so that she could control her powers and keep them in check. As a Jedi she posses great strength and control, and is beginning to show the strength that comes with her blood.

Force Proficiency — As a fully trained Jedi Master, Alysanne has a degree of mastery over the Force that few can match. While there is a great deal for her to learn, she has begun mastering and refining her control over the Force, showing both strength and refinement with her grasp of the Force. Be it using the Force to pull off the arcane, or simply strengthen and refine her own physical abilities, she has come a long way from the young girl who ran away from home all those years ago.

Weapons Proficiency — With the training she received growing up, and the practical knowledge she has acquired since joining the rebellion, Alys has become a good hand with a wide variety of weapons. A good shot with blasters or rifles, and more than competent with a blade in her hand, she continues to become more comfortable with fighting with a weapon in hand..

Physical Abilities — Alys is in peak physical condition, possessing the speed, strength, and dexterity that comes with years of training. Her training with the Jedi has made her nimble on her feet, graceful in her movements, and quick with her reactions.

Pilot — As evident by her position in Star Squadron and the various missions she has undertaken for the rebellion both with and without the squadron, Alys is a very skilled pilot. Having learnt a great deal by flying some of the rebellion's best pilots such as General Greybok, she is rarely as comfortable as when behind the controls of a ship. Be it speedy a fighter, a heavily armed freighter, or a bulky cargo hauler, she is confident in her ability to get the best out of whatever vessel she is flying.
