Anen Sonbef: Difference between revisions

* '''Siblings''': 3

The third child of four, Anen was planned and born out of a singular attempt by his parents at the betterment of their relationship. Despite his third-born status and second-born son, Anen was his parents' favorite child, particularly his father's. Anen always thought he got along well with his siblings but in the aftermath of the Revolution and the family's falling on hard times, his relationship with his brother Djoser is volatile and resentful at best. His relationship with his other two siblings is near non-existent, though not by his own choice or his own lack of effort.

Itet used to be the Belle of the Ball and a bright young woman. Now she whittles her time away on Betazed in a blasé state of mind, engaging in mindless pleasure and consumed with novelty. One couldn't say that she didn't do this before, but now she's less happy and is perpetually and easily bored. She's dead behind the eyes and like her mother, has become something of a tragic figure. Anen often writes her. She never writes back.  

Extremely conservative and reactionary, Djoser has a bitter taste in his mouth over the Revolution and where his mother and sister sink into despair and his brothers quickly move on, Djoser has been determined to hock the anti-Revolutionary cause to anyone who will listen. He is something of a leader among the Emigres on Betazed and has organized political machinations on, but has not returned, to Til'ahn. Djoser has taken up the mantle of Lord Sonbef and feels the weight of his fallen House is on his shoulders and that he will make it great again. He cares deeply about his mother and wants to make everything like it was before, for her sake and for his entire family's. His extreme devotion to family and 'the cause' has isolated him from his brothers, who seem more than willing to accept the new reality of a new Til'ahn.

:*'''Brother''': Teos

===Childhood===

Born a noble of House Imyremeshaw of the Kingdom of Bryque on Til'ahn in the city of Maahes, Anen wanted for little as a child. A Prince by birth, Anen's mother was a member of House Reidar and a relative of beloved Empress Meskhenet, while his father's family was of Damodara Commoner extraction, but had been raised to nobility and had produced several Viziers, perhaps due to their close ties with the ever powerful Fielding League. Born a powerful Fielder and into a distinguished Noble (even Royal) House, Anen was predetermined to be destined for great things. Educated by the best tutors, and instilled with a noble value of Noblesse Oblique, in line with Byrque values of Community and cooperation.  

Anen was known as a bright, intelligent and enthusiastic child, who was the light of his parent's lives. His interest in the arcane and also the healing arts presented themselves in these early years and he underwent training by the masters of the Fielding League, while also studying areas of medicine and political theory. On the cusp of adulthood, he was recognized as the shining future and favored son of House Imyremeshaw and he was given a token, if official position in the Royal Court beside his father. He later chose to enter the University of Maahes, despite the growing discontent with the Monarchy after first contact, studying to become a medical Doctor.  

===Early Studies and Revolution===

2380 would prove to be a turbulent year for all of Til'ahn and the University of Maahes was a hotbed for revolutionary activity and democratic thought. While a student of the sciences and a noble himself, Anen couldn't help but be swept up in it. He associated with moderates, much like his mother, though he also engaged in debates with his more radical peers. Eventually those 'radicals' became violent when change proved too slow. In the course of The Great Revolution, Anen was forced to leave his schooling and seek shelter in the palace walls. While he still snuck out to attend rallies, he quickly learned that it would no longer be safe to remain in the city, or even the planet. Anen's father saw a similar situation, especially after brutal massacres of nobles or those sympathetic to the Monarchy all over Til'ahn. His mother Gautseshen had remained in contact with Betazoid nobles who had attended one of the First Contact galas a year earlier, and like many other nobles, arranged to be transported to Betazed.
