Biography[]
Early Life and Career[]
Awn Elming was born to two cooks from a lower-status house, their first child. She tested into military service, likely being first assigned to Justice of Toren. Due to extra income from Awn's military service, her parents are able to have a second child, Basnaaid Elming. Awn was never able to meet Basnaaid in person, but she regularly sent a portion of her earnings home to support poetry lessons for her sister. The siblings communicated often, with Basnaaid sending the poetry she wrote for Awn to read. Eventually, Awn reaches the rank of Justice of Toren senior Esk lieutenant and commands the ancillary unit One Esk.
Annexation of Shis'urna[]
Awn was present from the beginning of the annexation of the Shis'urna System, being stationed in the city of Ors, on the planet Shis'urna. She occupied a house in the lower city of Ors, acting as the chief of security and overseeing administrative duties, as well as performing the daily services to Amaat, as Ors did not yet have an official temple to Amaat. At the onset of the annexation, the Divine of Ikkt, the head of the local religion, immediately surrendered and Awn maintained a close working relationship with her. Awn held her position in Ors for five years, in large part due to the insistence of the Divine, otherwise she likely would've been reassigned after about three years. In this period, Awn befriended Skaaiat Awer, a lieutenant who commanded the Justice of Ente Seven Issa unit in neighboring territory. Awn also served as a sexual partner to Skaaiat. Their relationship was viewed by many as a bid by Awn to receive clientage in order to raise her social status, however Awn never intended it as such.

Physical Description[]
Awn had dark brown eyes and dark hair she kept closely cut. She had light brown skin: not light enough to be considered pale, but not as dark as would've been considered "fashionable" at the time. These features were all their natural color, something Awn had in her means to change but chose not to.
