History: Anren was born on the surface of Ven'lin to a woman named Ladanea who worked among the wilderness, caring for the animals reintroduced to the planet. Her job was to tend to the livestock and so spent a great deal of her time fending off the predators. For the most part, she worked alone and became pregnant one night with a random stranger that she never saw again. Because she was isolated, when Anren was born, no one noticed and insisted that her son be returned to the ship. So he spent his entire life on the planet in comparison to others his age.

While his mother taught him to care for animals, he found more enjoyment out of protecting them from the predators. His education came entirely from his mother who taught him the basics of what he needed while encouraging him to do what he liked best. She even taught him how to fight and left it to him when he became old enough while Ladanea simply tended to the animals.

When he was fifteen, his mother went out to find an animal who had gotten lost in a storm and never came back. Intent on finding her, Anren started searching for her and found her body ravaged by a beast. Shortly after someone came to collect supplies and learned of both Ladanea's death and Anren's existence. The older man named Nasja took Anren up to the ship as everyone under the age of the seventeen were supposed to be in school.

He hated it there. It was confining, cold and lacked the wild life that he'd grown up in. Classes weren't all that important to him and Anren was often skipping than he was in them despite always being brought. In that first year, he met a younger boy named Thaelin and they disliked each other at first. Eventually, Thaelin was assigned to help him with his studies and the two grew to like the other even if they could never truly understand each other in all things. Unlike Anren, his new friend had never known the love and warmth of a mother or the beauty of Ven'lin. But he knew that to get Anren back on the planet he had to pass his exams and helped him with the task.

Not that it mattered since the following year, everyone was finally allowed to live on the planet. Anren's first act was to drag Thaelin out to his home only he found it occupied by someone else who had taken over his mother's job. Being unable to take it, he left behind his childhood home and got a place on the outskirts of Kibo City. The following year he graduated and became part of the Tojen (Guardians). He swore to Thaelin that when the younger teen graduated, that they'd live together knowing how awkward and uncomfortable Thae was with his parents.

History: To be honest, Thaelin's life was pretty normal for someone from his world. He was born on board the spaceship, Kibo that orbited their planet of Ven'lin. When his mother discovered she was pregnant on the planet, she eventually returned to the ship to give birth and hand him over to one of the many caretakers. Then she returned to the planet to be with her husband and her job. He was raised alongside at least thirty other children and was perfectly fine with this until the age of five. There were a lot of others who had the same life that he did but not everyone did. Thaelin learned this after excelling his first set of tests and being placed among seven year olds.

It was then that he learned that he did have parents, they just hadn't wanted to stay with him. Using the general terminals, he discovered that his parents - Masarie and Nath - were working on the planet and couldn't even be bothered to call him. When he questioned the caretaker, Keta, he told Thaelin that they have never contacted to find out about him either. From then on, he distanced himself from other people and focused solely on his studies. He swore to never be like his parents, that he would never have children or care about the planet below.

Thae's loner ways came to an end at the age of ten when Keta told him that he had a sister. At first he wanted nothing to do with her until he found out that his parents hadn't even bothered to name her. He agreed to see her at least and give her a proper name - Isenris (the word for beautiful). Upon seeing her, Thae couldn't justify giving her over to someone else to raise. While he did accept some help from Keta, Thae insisted on taking care of her most of the time. He even took on small jobs in order to get her some things that were just her own rather than something given to all children or handed out from older ones. For Isen's sake, he even opened up to some of the younger kids who became her friends.

At the age of thirteen, everything changed when a teen was brought up from the surface. His name is Anren and he was placed in several of Thae's classes. Anren was loud, disruptive and often tried to skip only to be brought by security. To Thae, he was pretty much an animal and he attempted to have nothing to do with him. When he was saddled with tutoring this animal, he was less than pleased. Anren had difficulty concentrating on studying and preferred to do anything else - including getting into trouble by going into areas they weren't supposed to. What's worse was that Isen absolutely adored Anren, often calling him big brother.

Eventually he did warm up to the wild teen, coming to understand that he had been cast into a different life altogether and had a completely different experience than he did. Something Thae came to truly understand a year after they first crossed paths when everyone was forced to disembark the ship and go planetside. What was worse was that he was expected to live with parents he didn't know at all. He was expected to live with a pair of strangers for the next three years.

Thae often let Anren led him away then, choosing the company of his single friend over that of strangers. When he knew it wouldn't be something dangerous, they would bring Isen along with them and show her the planet. His father did make an attempt to get to know his children and Isen warmed up to him eventually. Their mother was a different story though. She spent as much time away from their house as she could possibly get, only returning once they were asleep and leaving before they woke. A year later, Anren graduated and left Thae alone in his class - they saw less of each other but still had a close relationship. In fact, Thae is the one who has feelings that run deeper than friendship for the other. Not that he's said anything on the matter. He almost did when Anren proclaimed that they could live together after he graduated. Anren said he'd even support Thae if he wanted to become a legal guardian for Isen.

Two years ago, Thae took his final exams and became an adult by society's standards. His field of choice was technology and he was employed by Kibo City's main corporation. He didn't move out of his parent's house for six months only because he hadn't taken guardianship of Isen. While Masarie agreed quickly and without complaint, Nath had grown close to Isen over the last three years and she loves her father in return. He waited six months for them to make their decision, though often spent the night over at Anren's whenever their mother came home. Eventually, Isen told him that she was going to stay with their parents because she wanted to continue to get to know the people who'd given them birth. And then she leaned in to whisper that she didn't want to be in the way if Thae ever confessed his feelings to Anren. Of course Thae tried to deny it but Isen knew better. In the end, he moved out but told her that it would be her home too and Anren agreed to that.

Settling into Anren's home was easy considering he'd been over there many times before. The only time he was uncomfortable was when the Tojen's comrades came over as Thae was still not all great with getting along with a lot of people. And the members of Unit 163 could be loud - particularly Drahal who was not only a loud drunk but is a very tactile person. He also never got along great with Phiasyl as it was obvious to Thae that she has strong romantic feelings for him. Gedin was the quiet one of the bunch who was a creature of habit - sitting in the same spot, drinking the same amount and often dragging Drahal home while making sure that Phiasyl got home as well at the end of their gatherings.

Other than that, they shared their two bedroom apartment in companionable comfort. Thae took on the basic household chores such as cooking and cleaning while Andren did the shopping and heavy-lifting. His job gave him normal hours while Andren could be out on patrol at any time of the day and often had his schedule rotated with other units. He's working under Nimeri at Tyba Corp - which is owned by a man named Jaelis. Whenever they both have free time, they spend it together - Anren often dragging Thae out of the apartment on some wild and crazy adventure. Though he's learned to not let Anren fly... ever.

Two months ago he uncovered a coded file in among the rest of the Tyba Corp files. It took him no time at all to hack into it and a week to decode the information inside. What he found inside was a plot against the Council of Five, communications with a group of space-travelers that had experience in taking over other planets, and a plan to enslave a majority of the people of Venlin. There was also documents talking about a precious mineral that other planets would pay a fortune to on a excavation dig. While the substance has no value to the people of Venlin, there are others who would kill to get their hands on it.

Thae didn't tell anyone what he found - not even Anren - in fear of putting them in danger and not knowing who to trust. That is until a month after he decrypted the information, Anren took him out to an old ruins where someone had clearly excavated old relics. Their journey was fairly normal until they stumbled upon an armed group. Instantly the group started attacking and if it hadn't been for Anren, Thae would be dead. His friend had been captured in the process of protecting Thae and underwent a torture session to give up Thae's location. There was no way he could Anren behind but Thae hardly had the physical abilities to take on the group.

So he devised a plan to not only trick the group into thinking that he'd summoned more people but also set up explosions around the site. Thae lured most of the men away from Anren and snuck in to free him after electrocuting the one guard left behind. They proceeded to escape the ruin, setting of Thae's explosions to trap the group with the damage that was caused. Once out of the ruin, they continued on to their rented ship and returned to Kibo City. On the way Thae told Anren all about the information that he had found.

They couldn't remain in their apartment as someone could trace the rented ship back to Thae so they packed up a few of their belongings before stopping by to pick up Isenris. While there, he warned his father about there being danger and refused to tell him where they were going in case someone came to investigate. Thae then proceeded to steal one of the off-road vehicles, making sure that it couldn't be tracked before they left the city behind. Anren led them to a place far from the city, to a cave deep in the dense forest of Venlin. It was a place where few dared to go as it was filled with the most fearsome beasts on the planet - the Raza.

For the last month they've made their home inside of a cave, protected from the Raza by their stolen vehicle and other traps that Anren has set up. Since then they've become wanted in the city for "destroying a relic" along with "attacking and killing several Tojen". Unable to let this injustice go and incapable of letting this plot happen, Thae and Anren have set out to stop it. Gathering vital information and attempting to determine who they can trust as allies. Anren has made several trips back to Kibo City to watch his old unit members while Thae hacks transmissions going off-planet.
