Ktezic is a Remmilian, and is the daughter of an environmental engineer named Rtek'z and a civilian transporter chief named Qt't-ev, with her small family moving to Risa in 2383 to help with reconstruction efforts. Ktezic met Arake while the two were both attending a secondary school in Tolari on Risa in 2391, and quickly became friends - Ktezic was very interested in information sciences and chemistry, and Arake was interested in civil engineering and sociology, and combined, both of them were able to quickly go through courses, with the two eventually becoming inseparable as friends as they regularly communicated with each other regardless of distance. Eventually, this developed into a mutual queerplatonic interest between the two - when Ktezic and Arake were both 18, they both admitted that they were interested in the other in a queerplatonic way, and their relationship has been ongoing for 6 years, remaining stable despite frequent moving on both Arake and Ktezic's sides - this being the case for Ktezic due to her job as an information technology analyst on Risa often taking her to numerous places across the planet that needed regular analysis, maintenance, and enhancement of information systems, as the even in 2400, the effects of the Borg Attack of 2381 had resulted in many of these information systems being heavily damaged and often being primarily refocused around the Borg not taking the information even when Risa was reconstructed, resulting in the systems needing to be modified more for the far calmer current situations they were in rather than being kept as adjusted primarily to the volatile situations they were in during the time when Risa had not recovered much at all from the Borg Attack of 2381. | ||
Ktezic herself is similar to Arake in some ways in regards to her personality, which is likely why the both of them gravitated towards each other. Ktezic is as ambitious as Arake is, and like them, often aims for goals that are hard to achieve, and is quick to pick up on details. Ktezic is also very blunt and honest, often tending to say exactly what she's thinking about others, and additionally tends to say the truth, even if it is the worse idea in a situation, with her only lying when absolutely necessary. She also can very much pick up on non-verbal signals to an extreme degree and is fully aware of this, often saying that since people can be read like books, the logical extent of her book comparisons would be her being a literary critic who can pick up on every subtle theme within a novel. | |||
*'''Inte (Starfleet, NPC)''' | |||
Sojtis Arake became friends with Inte, a Lenarian student at Starfleet Academy also wishing to become a science officer, during their first training cruise. Arake and Inte bonded over their shared interests in sociology, with Arake supporting zir endeavours to find out what the Lenarian homeworld was like. Arake was friends with Inte for long enough to recognize whenever ze was very focused - that being whenever Inte spun around in a seat and spoke at the same time. However, Inte and Arake had both begun focusing highly on graduating in 2398, with their relationship eventually declining to a point where Arake did not learn that Inte had graduated from Starfleet Academy and had become a science officer, and Inte similarly also didn't know that Arake had graduated as a science officer either. Both Arake and Inte want to reconnect, but so far, this is a hypothetical - both Arake and Inte believe that they're both too busy to contact each other right now. | |||
Inte zirself has an acerbic and sociable personality, having become friends with Arake via talking the most with them during the training cruise where they met, talking about sociology and how people ignored the field sociology at their peril. Ze also is very much resolute, and is very much determined to finish whatever tasks ze gets to the best of zir ability, which often results in zir being exhausted and needing support from zir friends. Inte being determined to graduate also stressed zir out, with zir often feeling alone and isolated while aiming for graduation from Starfleet Academy - zir stress regarding being a Starfleet Science Officer also is primarily tied to zir having trouble balancing work and socialization. | |||

Relationships
- Ktezic (Civilian, NPC)
Sojtis Arake has been in a queerplatonic relationship with Ktezic since 2394, and both Ktezic and Arake have maintained an often long-distance relationship due to them being used to constantly moving. Ktezic is a Remmilian, and is the daughter of an environmental engineer named Rtek'z and a civilian transporter chief named Qt't-ev, with her small family moving to Risa in 2383 to help with reconstruction efforts. Ktezic met Arake while the two were both attending a secondary school in Tolari on Risa in 2391, and quickly became friends - Ktezic was very interested in information sciences and chemistry, and Arake was interested in civil engineering and sociology, and combined, both of them were able to quickly go through courses, with the two eventually becoming inseparable as friends as they regularly communicated with each other regardless of distance. Eventually, this developed into a mutual queerplatonic interest between the two - when Ktezic and Arake were both 18, they both admitted that they were interested in the other in a queerplatonic way, and their relationship has been ongoing for 6 years, remaining stable despite frequent moving on both Arake and Ktezic's sides - this being the case for Ktezic due to her job as an information technology analyst on Risa often taking her to numerous places across the planet that needed regular analysis, maintenance, and enhancement of information systems, as the even in 2400, the effects of the Borg Attack of 2381 had resulted in many of these information systems being heavily damaged and often being primarily refocused around the Borg not taking the information even when Risa was reconstructed, resulting in the systems needing to be modified more for the far calmer current situations they were in rather than being kept as adjusted primarily to the volatile situations they were in during the time when Risa had not recovered much at all from the Borg Attack of 2381.
Ktezic herself is similar to Arake in some ways in regards to her personality, which is likely why the both of them gravitated towards each other.

- Inte (Starfleet, NPC)
Sojtis Arake became friends with Inte, a Lenarian student at Starfleet Academy also wishing to become a science officer, during their first training cruise. Arake and Inte bonded over their shared interests in sociology, with Arake supporting zir endeavours to find out what the Lenarian homeworld was like. Arake was friends with Inte for long enough to recognize whenever ze was very focused - that being whenever Inte spun around in a seat and spoke at the same time. However, Inte and Arake had both begun focusing highly on graduating in 2398, with their relationship eventually declining to a point where Arake did not learn that Inte had graduated from Starfleet Academy and had become a science officer, and Inte similarly also didn't know that Arake had graduated as a science officer either. Both Arake and Inte want to reconnect, but so far, this is a hypothetical - both Arake and Inte believe that they're both too busy to contact each other right now.
Inte zirself has an acerbic and sociable personality, having become friends with Arake via talking the most with them during the training cruise where they met, talking about sociology and how people ignored the field sociology at their peril. Ze also is very much resolute, and is very much determined to finish whatever tasks ze gets to the best of zir ability, which often results in zir being exhausted and needing support from zir friends. Inte being determined to graduate also stressed zir out, with zir often feeling alone and isolated while aiming for graduation from Starfleet Academy - zir stress regarding being a Starfleet Science Officer also is primarily tied to zir having trouble balancing work and socialization.
Background, Personality, & Career History
- Born in August 19, 2376 as part of a baby boom that occurred on some worlds in the United Federation of Planets after the Dominion war, Sojtis Arake initially was raised in Tolari, a city containing the Tolari Tower prior to the Borg Invasion of 2381.
- Unfortunately, the Borg Invasion happened when Sojtis was only 5. The Arake family, consisting of them, their mother Jejte Arake, and their parent Suray Arake, had to evacuate Tolari extremely quickly, with Sojtis being unaware of what was happening until witnessing the Borg slag Risa from orbit, seeing Tolari, alongside the rest of Risa, destroyed as their shuttle left the planet, leaving Sojtis and the other members of the Arake family mentally scarred from the Invasion, and in the case of Sojtis, physically scarred, with a large scar on their left cheek (from their perspective - others would see it as their right cheek.) from falling debris from a collapsing skyscraper that never fully went away, even in their adulthood.
- The Arake family sought refuge on Remmil VI, and Sojtis, alongside their family, lived on the planet during most of their childhood. Sojtis attended grade schools on Remmil VI, and was educated in a way similar to how children were educated on Risa prior to the slagging of the planet.
- When Sojtis was 13, their family moved back to Risa, specifically the city of Tolari, as the damage had been finally repaired enough for Sojtis to be able to attend secondary education on Risa. Sojtis generally did fine in their school, but notably took an interest in pilgrimages to the still slagged parts of Risa, not wanting to forget what happened to their planet, and during this time, became friends with Ktezic at 15 thanks to their personalities being incredibly similar and their interests combined often resulting in the two doing amazingly in school courses regarding their interests.
- Sojtis Arake eventually gained a mutual queerplatonic interest in Ktezic, with the two admitting this to each other and beginning a relationship in 2394, when both of them were 18. The two became essentially inseparable, although both of them tended to flip between their relationship being long-distance and not being long-distance, as both of them often were not even at the same parts of Tolari, with their locations changing frequently.
- Sojtis eventually gained a wish to join Starfleet to explore the galaxy - or at least parts of the Beta and Alpha quadrants - and decided to attend Starfleet Academy to fulfill this wish at the age of 19, promising to regularly keep in touch with Ktezic before leaving Risa for Earth to attend Starfleet Academy.

- Sojtis attended training at Starbase 118, graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2400 as a Science Officer.
- Sojtis Arake is currently a person who hides many of their emotions, having had to suppress their memories of Risa’s slagging and the stories their parents told them about it, as their parents unwittingly passed on the trauma of Risa’s slagging to Sojtis. Anger, however, is an emotion Arake often is not too successful in hiding, with their right eye twitching being a very clear sign of this.
- Sojtis currently attempts to seem very serious in an attempt to come off as a “model” Starfleet officer, but in reality, does have what they consider to be a decent sense of humour and is often not very serious around people they’re close to, with them often joking to their friends about a resort extremely wealthy tourists who understood nothing about Risian culture went to going under in 2399 due to a lawsuit regarding the resort’s horrid gardens, commenting that the owner of that resort “must be very proud” of the resort’s failure.
