maru name: Sol Oppelion
backstory:
Sol Oppelion was born into the highest house of the Binary Stars: The Wind Walkers. His fate was sealed from the moment of his birth; the first crystalline heir in over a thousand years. Great care was taken to raise him in the traditions of the system: the songs, poems, constellations, and garb of their people. It all came easily to him, almost as if he already understood it deep within his soul. His mentors and teachers loved him dearly, and his youthful fascination with the world brought joy and sadness to their hearts. For they knew these moments would not last forever.
When he was old enough, his lessons started to change. Sol Oppelion started to study the stars in new ways. He learned of the sun drives that allowed his ancestors to use solar winds to leave their home planet. He studied star charts that stretched out for hundreds and thousands of blinks from where he stood. Standing on the moon orbiting his beloved home planet, Sol Oppelion learned just how small he was compared to the vast system just outside his front door.
Pressure grew as he started to learn of his true purpose. His only goal in life. The destiny he was born for. The legends of his species were true, and great celestial beings had indeed brought them into existence thousands of years ago.
Long ago, far back in the times of ancient legend, two beings called Wind Walkers met in the black nothingness of space. They were beings of pure starlight, bound together in a love that ignited. When the dust settled, the two beings had created life. A new sun system shone brightly in Binary Stars, forever home in each other's arms. His species was born here, the Marumi. As they grew and evolved the Marumi learned of their creation. They told their stories in poem and song, preserving a living memory of the beginning.
Every few centuries, a unique Marumi was born into the family of the original Wind Walkers. Possessing a crystalline heart of pure starlight, the Crystalline Heir possesses the unique ability to travel the solar winds. They are gifted with this ability in order to find others of their kind out among the stars. A true pairing must be found if the birth of another binary system is to ever occur.
The day finally came when Sol Oppelion of House Wind Walker was of age to begin his final journey. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, as the lives of infinite species and planets rested on his shaking shoulders. This journey would be his first and his last, and it would not end until he fulfilled his duty. He would never see his planet again, cradled in the loving arms of his ancestors.
The crowd looked on, watching their beloved heir step up into his solar craft. He turned back to face them, a bright smile on his face.
