History

Born on Earth, raised going to public schools by his father. Calvin did his best to raise the boy after his birth. Captain Skyfire did what she could to raise the boy before she was recalled to negotiate peace on Romulus when Chythar was 12.

As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. His graduation was a brief family reunion with his mother and father, along with an MD at age 23. Post-graduation, his mother left yet again for more diplomatic work. Captain Skyfire remained on Romulus until the planet was destroyed.

Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring.

Now an orphan, on his second posting since exiting the academy, he is trying to come out of his shell and make some friends. The fact he is in Starfleet now is almost ironic, given how much he hates Starfleet Command for robbing him of his mother's time. She died while on a Starfleet assignment, so he feels conflicted between his addiction to work in medicine and his duty to the uniform.

Education

Years	Institution	End Result	Description
236203 to 236207	Starfleet Academy	Science Degree	During his time at Starfleet, Chythar Skyfire felt he was doing alright in his classes, and thought he was just barely scraping by. He did surprisingly well, despite constantly having flashbacks to his time at UW. He lost lots of latinum to his room mates during poker games, and is a terrible liar.
236201 to 236203	University of Washington	Doctor of Medicine	His time at UW was confusing for him, partially because of his first initial freeze-up; his class was in an autopsy auditorium studying a cadaver of a shuttle crash and one of his class mates had a fatal heart attack right in front of him. He froze, and didn't know what to do. That is the event which triggered his bad reaction times to pressure in all subsequent events.

Family History

Captain Kyrethia Skyfire has been on Romulus for several years, working with a minor faction to maintain peace. They seem to like her to stay in order to maintain said peace, and she was very proud when her son Chythar announced after his graduation from UW to go off to Starfleet. She remained on Romulus until her death, at the destruction of the planet.

Calvin wasn't that big into Starfleet, and had no affiliation. He was a single father for many years, and dropped off the face of the map after his son graduated from Starfleet Academy. Word of his death reached Chythar when he was stationed on Starbase 118.

Notable Relationships

Name	Status	Description
Lt. JG Mandany Rose	Counselor	Counselor Rose is the only one who knows about Chythar's panic attack during his pre-Starfleet years that cause him intense stress when he's under pressure, and is one of the few to whom he has explained his complicated cipher system.
Ensign Ryoji Chibitsu	Counselor & best friend	Ryoji Chibitsu met during his Starfleet years, when he was training at the academy to become a science officer. It was through his interactions with Chibitsu he discovered his calling was actually to medicine. He is the only person who can actually get inside Skyfire's head and keep him from losing his mind. He's also one of the lucky few who has a copy of Skyfire's ciphers. As far as Chythar knows, still stationed on Starbase 118 and not answering messages.
Ensign Alden Cuthbert	Security Officer	Ensign Alden Cuthbert These two men met during their time together on Starbase 118. Cuthbert was stabbed with a contact poison during the Pythia's Tale mission, and Chythar created a wintergreen tea adrenal to save his life.
Ensign Anscom Folds	Fellow Medical Officer	Anscom and Chythar met when they served together on board Starbase 118 Ops, and together they saved the life of Ensign Alden Cuthbert.
Lt. Johanna MacLaren	Fellow Medical Officer	Johanna MacLaren and Chythar met when they served together on board Starbase 118 Ops, and Chythar received his baptism by fire during the Odyssey mission. He feared he'd started out wrong with her, because of his emotional turmoil, which he later regretted as she laid on Death's Door in the sickbay of the USS Excalibur after the explosion during the Pythia's Tale mission.

Mannerisms

• Chythar handles stress differently than most linguists. He creates a cipher that he distributes to his friends -- and depending on what language the letter is written in determines what point in his stress level he's at. One would have to know him well enough to comprehend this cryptic tactic first. Subconsciously, he may not realize he's writing in a 'panic' language' until told by the person who received his letter.

• CD tries to focus on literature during his time off, and occasionally makes obscure literary references to things like Dante's Inferno when he's stressed. Sometimes will lapse into another language while making one of said references.

Notable Events

Service Aboard Starbase 118 Ops
His arrival onto Starbase 118 happened just in time for them to leave on the Odyssey mission. He managed to survive his first mission with his mind relatively intact, and afterward had himself a drink with Commander Benjamin Walker and Marine Captain Joseph Dubeau to discusss a game of poker. He passed out hardcore that night after the fact, due to some Antaran brandy. He woke up in time to learn of a beach party hosted by Lt. Commander Matthews, the new first officer. He woke up confused, because far as he knew, Walker was still the first officer.
During his time on Starbase 118, he had hated the Code Blues that always interrupted his off-days. All he wanted to do was have a day to himself, but he tried to be first on the scene whenever Lt. MacLaren and one of said pesky Code Blue situations arose.

Service Aboard the USS Excalibur
Once he was transferred onto the USS Excalibur, the first mission they go on involves Chythar attempting to aid Lt. MacLaren in her efforts to stop a catastrophic plague from wiping out the Romulan population on Agurtha. During said efforts, he was injured in an explosion that caused his mind to become haphazard shards of random thought but he was still fully capable of doing his job as a medical officer with only partial hearing. He was dedicated to research, as that was the task that Captain Kalianna Nicholotti had bestowed on him. Due to his fractured thought processes and a low-grade concussion, it took him a few minutes to realize that was what he should be doing and the capacity of being the most useful at the moment. The number of patients greatly outweighed the number of patients, so he was chosen as the research monkey. Hard at work on the cure to the plague, he was too hyper-focused on this to notice at once that Ensign Alden Cuthbert was in fact suffering from poison and not from the plague itself. He thought it was the plague at first because of his too-focused mindset. He is also the genius behind the Teapaste that saved Alden's life. The security ensign's near-death experience averted, Chythar finished what later became known as The Skyfire Cure.
