Background
Bran Karaz was born on Alpha Centauri IV on Stardate 236812.26 to unjoined parents, his mother Brynna was a comms specialist in the entourage of a Trill ambassador, his father Kaihl was a Starfleet pediatrician. The relationship ended when his father was deployed to a hospital ship to support the Federation's war against the Dominion. Bran continued to live with his mother, where his diplomatic upbringing revealed a talent for learning alien languages. Moving to frequently in his early teens he became an ardent supporter of Federation Ideals, dreaming of one day attending Starfleet Academy. He finished his primary education at a Terran Academy Prep school with peers across the Federation. He graduated with good but not impressive grades.
Advised to delay his application, he received an invitation from his father on Trill, who had since retired from Starfleet and joined The Guardians. Believing his son to be an excellent candidate for The Joining with a particular rambunctious young Symbiont, Bran arrived to find himself scheduled for testing with only a few months to prepare. Unsuccessful as it was, years of preparation to join Starfleet had trained him to be a desirable candidate. Ultimately, his language fluency, ambitious curiosity, and psychological compatibility seemed to suitably impress the Commission.
The Symbiont, Maro, had never left the Caves of Mak'ala. In fact, Maro was younger than his first host and could barely control his excitement to see the Galaxy and all of its diverse people and cultures. The Joining was indeed a good idea for both parties and Bran Maro knew that nothing would stop him from his destiny going where no one had gone before. Returning to San Francisco to apply only felt right and with the additional drive, spacial intelligence, and confidence, he passed the entry exam with flying colors. He studied Xenology until at the end of his first year he was badly smitten with a Vulcan classmate named T'Pera and he started studying psychology to impress her. The relationship ended as quickly as it began, reaffirming the Symbiosis Commission's ascetic idealism. Nevertheless, Maro's fascination with the mind and love of culture propelled him towards a degree in Counseling. Ultimately he dual majored in Counseling and Science, graduating with reasonably high marks. His ultimate dream was to make first contact, meeting and documenting alien cultures never dreamed of with Maro's eternally burning curiosity spurring him on.
Temporarily assigned as Station Counselor at Starbase 118, he only served on one mission but his fluency in Romulan aided in the liberation of the hijacked Galaxy Class USS Narendra. For his actions, Maro was awarded his first service ribbons for Peacekeeping and Diplomacy. After only a few months Maro found himself aganin reassigned now to the USS Apollo-A as a Science Officer. Having dreamed of exploring the Delta Quadrant since he watched the Voyager's return to Earth as a child, he couldn't have been more ecstatic; Project Full Circle was the fulfillment of Starfleet's reason for being. Nevertheless, the Ensign was left wondering just who pulled the strings that allowed him to achieve the goal of several decades, if not several lifetimes, less than six months out of the Academy...
