Meyuu

"Senators! In the name of democracy: let us all unite!" - Meyuu, 70ABY Cheif of State Elections

Meyuu was the senator for the GFFA Galactic Senate representing the worlds of the Celegian Sector. Meyuu was a strong believer of using the seperation of powers to end greed and curroption. Meyuu had the ultimate dream of political and consitutional reform that would be used to empower the people and lesson the power of the rich.

Birth
Born and brought up on Celegia Meyuu did not know much about the outside universe. Due to the planet’s atmosphere it received little to no foreign species and certainly none that Meyuu could see and thus he believed that all species looked like his species did. It was too his shock when he saw images of other species for the first time and none looked like him. He was however fascinated by this and wanted to see many of these species in the flesh not only to talk to them but to study how their culture communicates as this subject fascinated Meyuu.

Education
Once Meyuu was old enough he went to university majoring in foreign cultures and communication with the ultimate aim of becoming a diplomat. Aftre many years studying the subject and then many more being tested on it Meyuu was finally chosen to be a diplomat to represent Celegia. He spent many years off world exposing himself to new cultures and planets. At first he had trouble not only with his tank but with general communication. In theory it was quite easy but in practice every diplomatic mission had Mayuu constantly on edge trying to convey the right messages. It took him nearly 2 years of continual study and on the field practice to get it to an acceptable level.

Diplomat
It was at this point that Meyuu started to really enjoy himself. He loved to immerse himself in others cultures even if he was limited by his glass tube. He would often take long rolls around the city he was stationed observing how the cultures interact with themselves and others to which Meyuu was fascinated by. Every new diplomatic mission presented Meyuu with a new problem to solve and Meyuu knew it was not as simple as presenting the Celegian way of solving things and thus would use patience to observe them and then try and act in kind to how the species acted in their natural culture.

Senator
After over 10 years serving as a diplomat for the planet celegia Meyuu was chosen by the Celegia government to represent them in the senate. After a long time deliberating the government choose Meyuu due to his experience in dealing with many other cultures and his age which was considered one of wisdom. Meyuu accepted the position with excitement. Not only does Meyuu get to meet a whole array of new cultures but he also gets to represent his people in the galactic senate. When Meyuu arrived on Coruscant for the first time he was both shocked and happy. Never before had Meyuu been to a city covered planet and it amazed him in more ways than one. Meyuu was quickly settled in and was now ready to represent his people and also bring peace and equality throughout the federation. Meyuu was also given the "Peace " transport yacht used by senators representing the Celegia Sector

Chief of State Elections - 70ABY
"How is it that we have developed great ships that can take us from the end of this galaxy to the other and yet we have continued to shut ourselves in? How is it, with technology designed for the betterment of all has left many in need? How is it that our intelligence and cleverness has forced us to be cynical, hard, and unkind? This senate thinks too much and feels far too little for the people we represent. Above all we need kindness and gentleness for without these qualities the road to a free and beautiful life will be lost. " - Senator Meyuu, Election Session 70ABY

In 70ABY Meyuu put his name forth for nomination in the election for the GFFA Chief of State. He ran in a two horse race against Seantor Varit Krane. Meyuu ran on the platform of political reform to wipe away the greed and curroption from the senate and GFFA at large. In an attempt to garner support for his Nomination Meyuu met with influential Senators such as Dr. Carmicheal Hectom and Viscount Arcturus Benedict Cicero II. Meetings with both influential seantors went well and in order to help secure the vote of the pro-jedi seantors Meyuu met with Grand Master Bela Khess of the New Jedi Orde r. In this meeting Meyuu offered the idea of a constitutional reform to the GFFA in which the jedi become a much more integrated part of the government.

Personality
Meyuu, much like others in his species, takes his time to consider things put before him to weigh all the facts before acting. It is known throughout the senate that Celegians take a long time to make a vote and as such many senators tend to assume they will abstain from most votes and thus would make poor political allies in the senate. Whilst many do consider Meyuu very serious this is only because they cannot openly laugh and much communicate to people through telepathy which to many sounds like a very monotone voice. Contrary to this belief however M eyuu has a good sense of humor and often makes jokes that he simply cannot deliver in with a monotone voice and thus will state it is a joke after or before he states it.

It can be hard for other species to gauge on how any celegian feels as there is nearly no body talk or tones in their voice. Whilst many senators and diplomats would love to have a body language and speech Meyuu dislikes it as he is a very honest person and thus will state how a sentence is conveyed before he speaks to assist in communicating with other people. Meyuu is swayed primarily by facts and evidence which he weighs extremely carefully and some would consider, slowly, before reaching a decision.
