Aura Ghami |
An
artist-philosopher originally from the Keter
Dominion
currently residing in the Utopia
Sphere. Born in 9547 a.t as
a su named Julius Baen e converted from su
form to vec
form in 9655 a.t and assumed the name Aura Ghami.
Although considered talented and
successful within the
artistic community, Aura Ghami remained another obscure artist to the
general
public until 9732 a.t. It was then that e achieved a certain amount of
fame, or
some would say notoriety, with eir release of the so called Dandelion
Swarm.
The
‘swarm’ started as a 21-meter tall semi-transparent
diamondoid
sculpture of a single dandelion, complete with a
bouquet of seeds. The sculpture’s apparent simplicity
attracted little if any
attention from the public, an event Aura Ghami later admitted e had
hoped for.
In fact at the unveiling only eirs closest friends and associates were
in
attendance. Once activated the individual seeds began to break away
floating
off under the power of fancloth and vacuum balloons. Shortly after the
release
of the last seed the dandelion began to blossom into an enormous yellow
flower.
Only Aura Ghami knew this was simply the beginning of the process. It
seems
each of the released seeds was impregnated with spore technology and
wherever
they landed new dandelions ‘grew’ to repeat the
process. Very quickly hundreds
of dandelions had sprouted over several square kilometers and the local
authorities
were forced into action to remove them. When questioned after the event
Aura
Ghami’s only comment was a self satisfied “art
imitates life.” The local
authorities were apparently not amused and Aura Ghami was sentenced to
extensive community service.
Within
a few years Aura Ghami seems to have grown tired of eir homeworld and
set off
to explore the stars, taking up the lifestyle of a wandering artist.
During the
two hundred years that followed e visited dozens of worlds leaving each
with an
example of eir ever more complex artwork.
In 9957
a.t Aura Ghami finally settled on the Utopia Sphere world of
Tranquility, in
the Tranquility system, located along the
Keter Dominion border. To
this day e can still be found there, often among friends in the local
Harrroh
colony, working with the rare apprentice or flying about in eirs home
the Crystal
Blossom.
Currently ranked as a superbright, many have noted that Aura Ghami has spent a great deal of time in recent years studying ascension and may be on the verge of breaching the first toposophic emself.
