alek Mathias Ka'Lai was born around Year -14, Day 358 on the planet of
Bothawui in the city of Arua'Starn. Valek was very lucky to be born
into a very good and respectable clan known as the Dalai clan. Ever
since Valek was a very young boy, he always cared for the safety and
wellfare of all those that he cared for and since caring is the most
sought after quality in the Dalai, everyone thought that he would
surely, one day, make a nice leader. It was his dream to one day be a
Jedi but so far, he has been unsuccessful.
Some might say
however, that Valek's care for people's safety was created from hatred.
The hatred of the Aitai clan. When Valek was around 9, he had his first
brush with the Aitai clan. As he was walking down a street, exploring
the city, he came across an old abandoned warehouse. Now, Valek has
always been famous for his curiousity so obviously he was extremely
excited to find a new secret fort for himh to use when he and his
brothers would play hide and seek. When he enterred however, he
immediately heard a very loud ruckus and went to investigate down a
beat up hall. When he oppened the doors, he saw a group of three or
four tennagers beating up a kid nearly half their size. Valek was
shocked by the sight and didn't understand what was going on and before
he knew it, the group of boys started trying to beat him up too! If his
older brother Maric and his twin brother Mathias hadn't come along when
they did, he might not be here today.
When he got back home and
after his mother Rauscha patched him up a bit, he got chewed out by his
father Asterre for going to a strange part of town and for not noticing
that the patch on the group of boy's shoulders were the markings of
the Aitai. He was then cruely and severely punished: No pazaak for a
week!!!
For the next four years, Valek spent his every waking
moment tormenting anyone that he thought might be in the Aitai. He'd
teepee their houses, spork their lawns and did any other harmless prank
that he could think of with his usual group of friends: Ashrack,
Meshrack and Abendigibble. He did either that, play pazaak or podrace.
He
had had great years leading up to his true initiation to his clan at
age thirteen. When the day finally came, he got dressed in his very
nicest suit he could find and met his brother Mathias at the foot of
the stairs. They were told to meet thier father in the basement for the
traditional ceremony and the ceremony went off without a hitch. He
answered all of the required bothan history perfectly and without a
hitch! It was possibly the greatest day of his life until...his father
had an anouncement to make. They were not joining the Dalai clan but
they were forced to join the Aitais!!!
It turned out that in the
past couple months, the Aitai and the Dalai were having a secret clan
war and two days ago, the Dalais finally lost. Valek was going to
become the very thing that he hated most and he couldn't do it. In
bothan culture, turning away from your clan is as bad as turning away
from your family and that day, Valek did both.
He left the
house and bought the first freighter ticket off of Bothawui and changed
his surname to Press because he couldn't stand the memory of his past.
the next nearly 10 years were pretty average for him. He didn't keep
many friends because he was always on the move and it was always hard
for him to trust.
About a year ago Valek's very best friend,
Maric Morn convinced him to return to Bothawui and catch up with his
family. With much bellicoze he did end up agreeing and bought passage
back to his home town. On the way there, he actually got excited to see
his family and see them again but when he got to his old house, he
found it burnt to the ground and his mother dead. When he asked around
for any sign of his family, no one knew what became of them.
It
was then that Valek decided to actually join a faction because he
wanted something to help him be preoccupied and forget quick. It was
hen that he met Brtic Fist and joined the Heirs of Ziost. The year with
HoZ was one of the happiest in his life. They were the family he never
had and he finally learned to trust a group of people.
When
HoZ closed, Valek was heart broken but he quickly rcovered and joined
his family members at TSV. Yes this is a happy time for Valek Press

Valek
