JEDI HoloNet

Ainur Saan was born in one of Dorin’s various settlement districts to a small family involved in freight and supply logistics management. His father died in a mundane shipping accident not long after Ainur’s birth, leaving his mother with terrible finances and no stability required to properly raise him. Within a few years, Ainur was placed into the care of his paternal uncle, Var Saan, who worked as an archivist and inventory clerk attached to a local trade bureau. Var also had a penchant for podracing and betting on the races.

Uncle Var was not a cruel man, and yet he showered the boy with manageable but tedious tasks, holobooks comprising many topics but especially of fantastical legends from spacer culture were his reward. Although Var was distant and often preoccupied with work, Ainur’s upbringing was quiet and structured, shaped more by routines than affection. Much of his childhood was spent in storage offices, records rooms and small private quarters filled with datafiles, dusty datapads and aging books gathered over decades. To keep the child occupied while he worked, Var often handed Ainur texts on whatever subjects were nearby. Some concerned local history and trade routes, while others focused on wildlife, nav records, engineering principles or politics. Ainur rarely understood everything he read, though he developed a habit of absorbing information simply because it interested him. He was schooled as far as the basics for any child of his age but had a tendency to be disruptive during his regurgitation of unneccesary facts.

Ainur became noticeably absent-minded and easily distracted as he grew older. He frequently wandered away from assigned chores after becoming interested in some minor detail around him, often asking long strings of questions that exhausted adults around him. Though considered intelligent for his age, Ainur lacked discipline and struggled to remain focused on immediate tasks when something else caught his attention. He had few close friendships growing up, finding books and educational holos easier to understand than most people.

The first indications of Ainur’s Force sensitivity were subtle enough that they went largely unnoticed for quite some time. He possessed an unusual intuition for people’s moods and often reacted to events mere moments before they occurred, though these incidents were infrequent and easy to dismiss as coincidence. It was only after a visiting Jedi Watchman spent time speaking with the boy during a routine inspection of the district that concerns were formally raised regarding possible Force sensitivity.

Though uncertain and afraid about leaving the only home he had known, Ainur was also eager for the opportunity to travel with the Jedi Order with visible excitement. To this young Kel Dor, the prospect of becoming a Hopeful outshone the fear and represented something entirely new : purpose, belonging and the chance to learn about a galaxy that had previously only existed to him through the (digitalized) pages of old books.
