Background
||Backstory Primer||
1. How did you discover your force sensitivity?
I never really had to discover it. My older sister, Tamsyn, was force sensitive before me. She let me know in the same breath that she told me it was time to leave our family behind.
2. Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you.
I fought her, tooth and nail. The entire time, I had always thought my parents were honest and decent folk; I doubted her. I regret how difficult I made things for her, how much my idiocy cost her.
3. How did you come to join the NJO?
It was her idea. She's too ingrained in her own ways, the methods of her own master to teach me anything more than a path of power through pain. I came to the Order because it was the only way that my sister saw me becoming more than her.
4. Name one NPC your character has a strong connection with. This could be a family member, a friend, a work contact or a bitter rival.
Of course, Tamsyn comes to mind immediately. Likewise, their father and mother: Synaud & Adris Marrama
5. Describe a pivotal moment in your life where you demonstrated your moral strength despite adversity.
It was during our escape from our home. My sister had already become injured, I was practically on my own... And while turning back at that point was easy, I didn't. I continued into the unknown for her sake.

Before the story of Adrius, there was the story of the Marrama family. Originally, they were intended to colonize a far-off planet in the name of Umbara. Unfortunately, before the leading family could establish said colony, they were attacked and annexed by the forces of the Dukedom of Marth, a sovereignty that controlled several planets through martial prowess. Despite this annexation, however, the colonists fought their oppressors until the leading Rootai were killed. The Marrama family, second in line to lead, chose to accept the Dukedom as their new home.
For their efforts, the Marrama family was given land upon the moon of Marah't... A place they would rule throughout the eons. The latest ruler, Baron Synaud Marrama, inducted his own daughter into a mysterious order of force-wielding paladins following the fall of the Empire... And later, intended to induct his son, as well.
However, Tamsyn Marrama, knew far too well what the Orders would do to her little brother. She defied her father, defied the Duke, defied the Orders. In the dead of the night, Tamsyn sequestered her brother and attempted to flee into the galaxy. The orders allowed no deviation from their twisted codes... They always demanded something in exchange for power... Whether it be anguish, servitude, loneliness... There was always something.
Tamsyn's plan, however, did not account for Adrius' own foolishness. The boy didn't understand, he didn't know any better... He struggled against her throughout the entire ordeal. Eventually, he managed to set off an alarm and set the House Guard on attacking the two of them. The battle that ensued was bloody, indeed.
By the end of the night, Tamsyn was bloodied, injured and trying her hardest to drive towards a meeting point she had established with an old colleague. She succumbed to her injuries on the way there. This was where Adrius, who had done nothing but fight his own sister the entire way, experienced a change of heart.
From the wreckage of their speeder, having sustained his own injuries, Adrius dragged his dying sister towards something he did not understand and away from something he understood even less. His sister wasn't stupid, however, she knew when to fight and when to surrender and the fact that she had gone to these lengths... They told Adrius that this was serious. This was real. This wasn't some madness on her behalf, this was something that made her feel complete. Destiny.
However, Adrius was yet young. His body was frail. His limbs were tired. He couldn't take her too far. So, he called on the Force. He didn't understand it, of course, it wasn't something that he'd ever done before... But he placed his hands to Tamsyn's greatest wounds and... They began to join together, stitched by the Force. Flesh began to seal, torn muscles were mended and cracked bones snapped back into proper positions. It left him unconscious, but his sister reinvigorated.
They escaped.
And since then, she had been on a direct line to deliver her brother to the Jedi Order. She couldn't stay there, herself... No, her path had been chosen for her. But this Order... Luke Skywalker and his people, they could help her brother. If nothing else, they could make sure he didn't end up like her.
Motivation
Growth - Wisdom/Experience
Most Consulars aspire to be wise leaders or advisors, enabling those in their orbit to lead happier, fuller lives. Unlike knowledge, wisdom comes only from doing, by experiencing life in all its challenges. Those seeking wisdom often search for those who have it and, more importantly, have a zeal for experiencing, seeing and trying new things to broaden their perspective.
