Daaraas Dar

Togruta courtesan, They/Them. Known as the “Azure Allure”, this blue-skinned Togruta is one of Hirani’s most renowned courtesans.

Their parents were botanists who raised Daaraas on a low-g moon whose flora they were researching. The low gravity caused Daaraas to grow up exceptionally willowy and tall for a Togruta at 7 feet, with extra long  horns and head-tails, which adds to their mystique as a courtesan. However, it also left them with low bone and muscle density, causing them chronic pain, plus other health problems.

They came to Vohd as a young adult after their parents heard rumours of a strange fungal Fog on Vohd that could be synthesised to produce powerful physical and mental effects, especially in those who are force-sensitive (which both Daaraas and their parents are).

Daaraas moved to Vohd to investigate these rumours. They worked their way into Hirani’s to make money but also to get close to important people to learn about the combat stims and other Fog technologies. Using botanist and herbalist skills picked up from their parents, over the past 5 years on Vohd, they have synthesised a weak Fog drug for themselves. Combined with mediation to develop their Force and body awareness, this crude drug helps to  manage their chronic pain a little. But they need access to UTiCo research, or samples of the combat stims, or information on the native force users, to further their research to produce a better, longer-term treatment for themselves.

A side effect of their self-treatment is their body is now suffused with Fog and produces Fog pheromones that intoxicate clients.

Their voice is resonant and melodious, and their movements are slow and flowing (I imagine they walk a bit like Sara from Star Trek Discovery). Their sensuous dancing is hypnotic and pulls in the clients. Whilst their flowing movements are alluring to clients, in reality Daaraas moves in this gentle way in order to minimise strain on their joints.

Daaraas has turned their level of Hirani’s into a beautiful garden with exotic plants covering almost every available surface, wall, even ceilings. The air is heavily fragranced from the various blossoms and the air is warm and humid. (Think Poison Ivy’s lair)

Daaraas’s parents now live on Vohd in a wildcat settlement of other botanists and hippies. They are researching the native fungi as well as helping Daaraas with their research.
