Rylie Tano

Rylie Tano was a Jedi Knight during the Clone War. She also served in the Galactic Republic's Senate and in the Pure Clan, later known as the People's Parliament. Tano was known for her skill in the force and in her ability to stand for what is right.

Early Life
Rylie Tano was born in a village on Shili. Her parent's names have been lost. Tano was three when a Sith assassin came to the village. Tano was hidden with her mother. Her father was killed while defending the village. The Sith assassin's intentions are to this day unclear. A Jedi ended up killing the assassin in self defense. Tano's mother willingly gave Tano to the Jedi, horrified at the thought of another attack. For her own protection, once Tano arrived on Coruscant the Jedi soon after took her to the royal family of Kiffu when it was a Republic system. Of course, Tano naturally being a Togruta, her appearance had to be changed. Tano remembered nothing of her true heritage, she knew she was different from the others though. Tano recieved training in both the ways of the force and in politics, an interesting mix for someone with her personality. Tano became an advanced student using a combination of the force and her advanced sense provided by her species. Tano's training became more and more unique, never truly having a master yet she was a the level of padawan. Tano was eleven years old for the Battle of Naboo and was present for Queen Amidala's breif direct interaction with the Senate. Tano continued her studies and slowly returned to her natural appearance. She soon became the Senator of Shili, since there was none prior.

Changes in Priority
Once the Clone War began, the now knighted Rylie Tano was constantly working, whether it was fighting on the front lines or trying to end the war in the Senate. Now Tano was twenty-two and had already survived life threatening wounds from battle and protestors alike. Tano also had been going through changed in priority, that proven when Tano joined The Pure Clan (Now the People's Parliament) because of a friend. Tano became friends with many of the groups members, but also began to dislike certai people. A year after joining the Pure Clan, Tano became busy with a new "issue", Shili's elections. The last ruler had died of old age. Tano's friend is why Tano got involved. A surprising twist however when Tano won. But this did nothing but take up more of Tano's time. Tano's only relief came when she met someone who she would eventually marry. That is, until he went missing. (Missing just means inactive in this case) Tano was devastated, but had no time to properly search.

Nova and Novik
Tano had another problem coming, Nova Corp (Now Dark Nebula). Although not directly connected to the problem, Tano still had to assist people tha were. Tano was unimpressed at the goal to take over. Tano also had become friends with Vasto Magcrier (Now Tal Novik). Tano, who hated being alone (Due to Togruta heritage) ended up with Magcrier, until the already suspicious Tano learnt he had been using her for power and money. Tano now had a proper reason to avoid Magcrier.

MIA
Tano went missing for to years (Again, inactive). When found in an old escape pod just outside of Tatooine's atmosphere, an investigation told what words couldn't. Tano had been shot down on an assignment and been knocked out. Due to location, slavers working with Jabba the Hutt found Tano. Tano had been enslaved and tortured on numerous occasions while trying to escape and because of rebellion against Jabba. Tano did manage to escape, and get ahold of a ship. Apparently the ship had people inside, Tano ended up having to escape in the pod, not wanting to risk getting captured again.

Return
After a breif time in a med center, Tano was back to work. Tano resumed her duty as queen, even though she would have been just fine with not. The Pure Clan had now become The People's Parliament. By now Tano was twenty six. Tano took time to learn more self defence and become stronger.
