| - Ducha Ayeka Kel comes from the wealthy Kel Family, hailing form Charubah. The Kels are a Noble Family in the Hapes Consortium as well as the owner of Olanji/Charubah industries and as a result, heavy inestors in Charubah's technological success, having some members of the family working for the planet's many factories and laboratories as researchers or corporate executives. Many other Kels are members of the Royal Navy and still others are members of Hapan Security. Needless to say, the family is as successful as the rest of the Consortium and their women hold a great deal of respect and honour. The Kel Family has had control of the planet Charubah for the past 50 years due to a covert hostile take-over involving the assassinations of some of the more prominent families and a seizure of control via legal technicalities resulting from the clandestine dealings. Ayeka is the "oddball" of the Kel Family. She is the only Force sensitive in their long genealogy with any interest in Jedi Training... thus far. Ayeka excelled in school and even has a degree in criminal justice, conducive to her decision to join Hapan Security herself, if not the Royal Guard. She never cared about having fabulous power over people, generally speaking, but she has always had a strong sense of justice. Ayeka's childhood was one of being rather spoiled with the finer things in life; a beautiful home, fine foods, expensive trinkets and clothing, and a quality education from a respected Hapan university. She has also undertaken an intermediate level of Martial arts and art-form dance training as a young teenager. Ayeka has shown consistently her startling intuition and insight as well as a logical reasoning that might rival that of a protocol droid. She has always had an uncanny ability to "connect the dots" (so to speak) and make a decision based on the most likely expected outcome of a situation... as if she she could see things before they happen. Little did her parents know, let alone suspect, that Ayeka sometime actually could predict things via her Force-sensitivity. Operating heavy machinery had never been hard to learn for her and flying, especially, seemed to come natural to her. She soon found she enjoyed the inertial reaction of flying fast like a death-stick in an addict's lungs. She is also something of a "history geek" and took an interest in the Jedi as a teenager, despite her cultural reservations against them even though Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo and her consort Jacen Solo were, historically, Jedi themselves and were well-remembered and respected in Hapan History. Following inspiration from Tenel Ka's example, Ayeka purchased the finest supplies credits could buy her, getting a bulk-deal on Hapan Rainbow gems (5 for 50% of the gross price), and constructed her first light sabre without formal Jedi training. She worked hard on it for 2 whole local months to get it right. Building a curved-hilt variety, similar to Tenel Ka's rancor-tooth hilt but with a more pronounced curve, was the greatest challenge, as it made her consider very carefully how to align the crystals properly. She did not want to repeat Tenel Ka's mistake that cost the historical Jedi Queen mother her left arm. When it was finally completed and tested, she became exceedingly proud of this accomplishment. She built a second one some time later, this time only taking a month to do so now that she knew what she was doing. Considering the materials used in it's construction, Ayeka Kel's light sabres are among the most expensive light sabres in the Galaxy... Tenel ka's being one of them in terms of History. Ayeka had been to the Museum in Ta'a Chume'dan several times, seemingly obsessed at the time with the construction of the Jedi's weapon. A trip to lorell Hall and several meticulous queries on the Holonet yielded the general knowledge of light sabre construction, although Ayeka knew she wasn't trained in the Force, which was a prerequisite that was constantly parroted by the sources she learned form. The lack of formal training and brazen defiance of the odds of success yielded a great deal of pride for the then 18-year old Ayeka. Now in her early 20's, Ayeka has become a grown woman with the freedom to make her own decisions and control her own destiny. However, she did not jump immediately on applying for Security. She instead got a penthouse in Ta'a Chume'Dan to get used to being her own woman. She managed fine with careful budgeting of her own monthly influx of credits form her 5 interest-bearing funds, which she had set up to direct-deposit the interest into her bank account. Still used to the finer things, she bought a brand-new Miy'til star fighter, fully loaded, and spent quite some time breaking it in. She discovered t'bac as soon as she reached the legal age of majority in the Hapes Consortium, the age of 20, and has been a casual smoker ever since (this vice still remains today, despite recent efforts to kick the habit).
