Aris

Early life
Aris tihq'Xela Azura'Zovad grew up a member of the Meyrozan diaspora's "Spaceborne Generation", only being exposed to his people’s culture via archives. He and his contemporaries had never known what it was like to have a planet of their own, only hearing tales from those who lived through the war. This left a natural emptiness, which he filled with a love for Earth culture.

He was orphaned at a young age, when his parents failed to return from their away mission. Their remains were never found and their status has been listed as "missing in action" ever since.

Aris spent the remainder of his childhood in communal care, where he befriended Zythi Qno'Trel Aruz'Xeth. Zythi, or Zy as she preferred it, had lost her parents on that same away mission, which unwittingly bonded the two of them together. Being that they were the same age, they were always together, and over the years they became surrogate siblings.

Career and Aptitudes
From a young age, Aris showed signs of being a engineering prodigy. He would often take random equipment apart, just to see how it worked, then put it back together in a more optimal arrangement.

As he made his way through the Diaspora Education Service, and then though his military service, his teachers and colleagues believed he would follow in his mothers footsteps. Syra was the Chief Engineer of the Ku'mari, and the inventor of the PMR. Her legacy was one of the brightest in the Flotilla, and most regarded her as a legend.

His skill and accomplishments were more then sufficient to get him a ranking engineering position on a ship of his choosing, but he's chosen to invent and help where ever he was needed.
