Tobius Rehn: Difference between revisions

Tobius was born on star date 235302.26 in St. Louis, North America on Earth. His parents, having never married, raised Tobius together for almost two years. Eventually they would part, and Chastity would take Tobius and leave Earth bound for Qo'nos, and the Klingon who would become his stepfather, Kraelin. Having been an "acquaintance" of Kraelin's long before she met Tobius's father, Chastity found solace with him once again on the Klingon home world. When Tobius was ten years old, on stardate 236308.25, a Klingon female, jealous of Chastity's relationship with Kraelin, murdered her.  

After her death, Kraelin, who has since never taken another mate, took it upon himself to raise Tobius the best he could. He taught Tobius about Klingon history and heritage. Taught him to fight, through rigorous physical training, and taught him to respect honor and loyalty.  

Tobius never had it easy throughout his childhood. The Klingon children that he grew up with would never accept him into their society, and took it upon themselves to regularly beat him. He had no true friends while growing up on Qo'nos, and the resulting lack of socialization skills would plague him throughout his adult days. When he was twenty-one, he left the Klingon home world to join Starfleet Academy, since it was becoming increasingly clear that he would never be accepted in the Klingon military. He was eventually accepted into the Academy two years later.
