{{heading|History: Preface -- The Relevance Of the World He Comes From|blue}}
When beginning to make a fleshed out character history for K’Mal, it all seemed to start with giving a lot of background information on the current state of Ornara and more specifically the country that he lived in. The whole planet isn’t like some single minded world with only one world government (at least in my head) and yet I do not want to create any problems with character backstories with other Ornaran characters in the game. To that end, I created a small country called Uynar in the character's background. This nation is a bit of an amalgamation of countries such as Syria, Nigeria, Uganda, and aspects of Governments from each with a little United States & Russia thrown in. Please understand that the Nation of Uynar is filled with a majority of people in poverty. Many people live in rural areas leading to farming cultures at the point of this writing. The cities are slum-like. The wealthy are attempting to remain in power even after the government upheaval and civil war. Religion is being backed by a few of the former governmental senators pre-civil war. Subjugation and exploitation of the commonwealth is done in such a manipulative way as to repress education, creativity, art, and science while at the same time convincing its citizens to vote against their own interests.
 
In depressed times of society, humans have often turned to religion as a basis of hope and with that place all good things into a category of miracles and all bad things as the work of demons. In some cases scripture has been used to repress certain people and in some cases even call for death and public executions of those who break religious laws. In some religions, medication is forbidden as Faith Healing through prayer is used to “heal” the sick which, in real life, has caused cases of where children were not taken to hospitals because the parents, and their religious conviction, choose Faith healing. The truth is that happens in the real world today, even in the United States.
 
Some families even work to prevent higher education for their children because they believe the world outside of a carefully guarded family may present hazards to the child and fill their minds with lies and liberal thinking. This is the case of the Duggar Family, a family who has continued to be explored on television in 19 Kids and Counting and its subsequent spin off. Taking Religion vs Science and Wealth and Inequality as the core, applying fundamentalist ideals to a society, making sexuality and gender identity something taboo, and bringing about societies where people think it’s ok to kill gay men and rape lesbians such as Uganda with very little to no punishment from the government; this is the stylistic country in which K’Mal comes from.
 
With all of this in mind, I have decided to make a document detailing the Nation of Uynar that can later be added to the wiki. It’s a work in progress and I hope you enjoy the read of this fictional nation. However, before I create that document, I need to fill out the personal details of K’Mal. I hope this blurb has given you some insight into world in which he comes from.

Born in 2375, K’Mal is the 2nd child of Tor’Nik and Valla. He grew up in the village of Vordyn in a time of civil unrest. As a young child he and his family lived in a rural outskirt of the town, away from the civil disobedience and climbing rates of crime. Religion and science were at war with each other in this depressed country of TuJion. More than 60% of all people from his Nation of Uynar were poverty stricken. Houses were little more than hand built shacks made by families. Parents, children, and sometimes grandparents and extended family members lived with K’Mal and his family. Disease went hand in hand with the poverty of the nation as well as regression in freedoms, liberties, and taboo’s by Federation standards. His country had taken so many steps backwards due to the greed of the wealthy and the subjugation of the religious. When the void of extortion from the Brekkians left the planet in dire parallel, there were always those who would seek to fill that void.
 
In 2384, when K’Mal was just eight years old, civil war broke out across the country. Government officials were murdered in mass and a revolt for the “good” of the people began. It was the beginning of a three year war that cost the lives of tens of thousands. In 2386, one of the military groups seized control over Vordyn and in an attempt to fight off the army from taking his land, Tor’Nik, K’Mal’s father, was captured and executed. The execution was held in public in the rubble of the town square to show all the citizens what would happen if they did not join the army’s cause. K’Mal was forced to witness the event along with his mother and sister. Their land was seized by the army and Valla, K’Mal’s mother, took her children and fled into the night. The survivors sought public shelters, friends, anyone willing to take them in. Many refused to help. Some even considered them criminals on the run. This would last nearly a year.
 
By mid-year 2387, the civil war had come to an end. The new government had been formed with the levers of power in control by a church who was willing to help anyone in need so long as at least lip service was given. Those would questioned the church or whose loyalty was in question would often be beaten or murdered by vigilantes all in the name of “the greater good.” Oppression had taken over from exploitation. Prior to The Global Trade Crisis roughly 20 - 25% of the nation had a religious belief. Today, more than 95% have or claim to have a strong religious affiliation in the country of Uynar.
 
For the next two years, Valla worked odd jobs just to keep the children fed. They lived with another family also living in poverty. The housing was constructed of very little lumber or modern materials that you might find in other nations on Ornara. It was truly a developing nation. The luxury of technology was scarce in her land. The remains of Uynar was rebuilt under the direction of the new governmental power and the city was renamed Neiroob. Valla wanted something more for her children than even herself.
 
As Brekka and Orana began new trade agreements between their worlds, some of the darker and more sinister of traders were looking for “indentured servitude” aka contracted slave labor. Those who were against the government or didn’t uphold the religion were often either placed in prison or sold into a black market. Through one of these Brekkian men, Valla bartered herself to enter into a contract so long as her children, K’Mal and his sister Seleion, were cared for. The trader agreed and with that, K’Mal, his sister Seleion, and his mother Valla all boarded a tradeship for Brekka. The three of them and 43 others were the “commodity” of the trip.
 
After leaving the planet on its way to Brekka, the ship suffered engine failure. A distress beacon was sent out and the USS Betelgeuse responded. The Captain and crew told the Federation ship that if the ship were not fixed in time their commodity, livestock, would likely die and they needed to get back to Brekka as quickly as possible to deliver the goods to the owners. Once the away team came aboard to help fix the problem, they were restricted to certain sections of the ship.
 
K’Mal and his family, and the other families now contracted to indentured servitude were told that if they spoke or made a sound that it would violate the contract and there would be no reason to carry them to Brekka and that they would be thrown out into space to die if they made any sounds. One of the women on board had an infant baby. When the baby started to cry, one of the Starfleet engineers heard it coming from the locked cargo bay. It was the sound of a human(oid) child. As the baby continued to cry, the mother desperately tried to silence the child. In an act of unthinkable horror, the slave trader, now owner of the mother, silenced the child permanently. Two Starfleet Engineers standing near the cargo bay conversing about the engine problem heard the baby crying and the sudden sound of phaser fire and the silence. K’Mal witnessed this entire event before his eyes. This scared 12 year old boy was now witness to two executions before him. One of his father and now an infant.
 
The Starfleet personnel banged on the door and eventually broke through the bay door after shorting out the computer terminal. To their own horror, they found the prisoners, the woman, the children, and the Brekkian slave traders. One of the woman sitting on the floor asked, in defiance of the Brekkian, for help. The Brekkian objected and told the woman to be silent. The Brekkian noted that it was against Starfleet’s Prime Directive. That’s when five of the woman, one of which was Valla, moved toward the Starfleet Crewman and began to beg for Sanctuary. This was a defining moment that would change K’Mal’s life forever.
 
All 45 surviving were removed from the Brekkian tradeship and moved onto the USS Betelgeuse. Initially the Captain was going to return the people to Ornara until it was learned that it was the Government of Uynar that had set forth the trade negotiations with Brekka. The other countries of Ornara set up strong sanctions against the country. The survivors were granted refuge from both other countries of Ornara and the Federation itself. Valla chose not to return to Ornara and stayed with the Federation.
 
They were delivered to Starbase 103 for processing and reassignment. (This starbase was chosen as it is the most likely closest to Ornara as it appears in the episode The Arsenal of Freedom which is the episode before Symbiosis which featured the Ornarans and the Brekkians) Once processed, Valla and the kids were sent to Starbase 118 where K’Mal would live his life until entering Starfleet.


Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9 or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each. There is also an extra STO pip set, but it works best in the table rather than in the sidebar.
Starbase 118 was simply amazing to K’Mal. Life had taken a turn for the better. There was no violence, no worry of being robbed. No one trying to take land. He lived in space… actual space! Starfleet did what they could to help the family transition to their new life. K’Mal was so happy in the secure feeling. He quickly made friends with other children on the space station and his respect and debt to Federation was something he vowed to one day repay.


For date of birth, add a leading zero for single digit months and dates. The sidebar will automatically calculate your character's age as well.
It was during his education on Starbase 118 that he became interested in the sciences. Something about fossils really interested him and that lead to understanding minerals and eventually bio-mineralogy. The interest drives him to understand cultures of ancient and forgotten worlds, to seek out fossilized remains and understand evolution on planets and to find and understand how minerals in rock play a part in the makeup of living things. After all, we are all made of star stuff.


If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field.
By the time he was 16, K’Mal knew he wanted to enlist into Starfleet. At 17 he had convinced himself that the quickest route to serving the Federation was the one year academy program and become an crewman. He planned to enter into a work study situation where he would become a crewman and take courses while he worked to eventually gain a degree in mineralogy and eventually bio-mineralogy which would require studies in biology and (xeno) paleontology. If he wanted to stay in school that long it would be a decade before he ever stepped into a role of serving Starfleet. Therefor, the work study program was the way he wanted to go.


Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.
On Stardate 239307.12 K’Mal officially entered into Starfleet. It was a proud day and even better days are soon to come.


If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. You can use the "EXTRA" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.
<!--EPILOGUE: Out Of Character
That brings us to today. While his life is so much better now, there are still challenges to come. Amidst all the horrors of the world, he still has problems and even a bit of a dark secret. Watching people being murdered left a mark on his soul. Coming from Ornara he suffers from pharmacophobia and avoids painkillers and injections as best he can. Doctors sometimes have issues treating him and he refuses medication when at all possible. Furthermore, due to the culture of Uynar, his own mother is extremely homophobic. K’Mal hasn’t shown any interest in women and his own self worth is challenged by that fact. Deep down that same-sex attraction is there but he burries it underneath duty and honor. When he finally accepts himself it will be a great day but dark days are ahead. His mother and sister may not be so supportive. The Federation has no hang ups with sexuality or gender identity but simply put, that isn’t the culture he grew up in. It will be rough for him.-->


You can also display your OOC writer ID number in your character's sidebar if you want by adding AUTHOR= to the list of variables. If you leave it blank, this field will disappear.

History: Preface -- The Relevance Of the World He Comes From

When beginning to make a fleshed out character history for K’Mal, it all seemed to start with giving a lot of background information on the current state of Ornara and more specifically the country that he lived in. The whole planet isn’t like some single minded world with only one world government (at least in my head) and yet I do not want to create any problems with character backstories with other Ornaran characters in the game. To that end, I created a small country called Uynar in the character's background. This nation is a bit of an amalgamation of countries such as Syria, Nigeria, Uganda, and aspects of Governments from each with a little United States & Russia thrown in. Please understand that the Nation of Uynar is filled with a majority of people in poverty. Many people live in rural areas leading to farming cultures at the point of this writing. The cities are slum-like. The wealthy are attempting to remain in power even after the government upheaval and civil war. Religion is being backed by a few of the former governmental senators pre-civil war. Subjugation and exploitation of the commonwealth is done in such a manipulative way as to repress education, creativity, art, and science while at the same time convincing its citizens to vote against their own interests.

In depressed times of society, humans have often turned to religion as a basis of hope and with that place all good things into a category of miracles and all bad things as the work of demons. In some cases scripture has been used to repress certain people and in some cases even call for death and public executions of those who break religious laws. In some religions, medication is forbidden as Faith Healing through prayer is used to “heal” the sick which, in real life, has caused cases of where children were not taken to hospitals because the parents, and their religious conviction, choose Faith healing. The truth is that happens in the real world today, even in the United States.

Some families even work to prevent higher education for their children because they believe the world outside of a carefully guarded family may present hazards to the child and fill their minds with lies and liberal thinking. This is the case of the Duggar Family, a family who has continued to be explored on television in 19 Kids and Counting and its subsequent spin off. Taking Religion vs Science and Wealth and Inequality as the core, applying fundamentalist ideals to a society, making sexuality and gender identity something taboo, and bringing about societies where people think it’s ok to kill gay men and rape lesbians such as Uganda with very little to no punishment from the government; this is the stylistic country in which K’Mal comes from.

With all of this in mind, I have decided to make a document detailing the Nation of Uynar that can later be added to the wiki. It’s a work in progress and I hope you enjoy the read of this fictional nation. However, before I create that document, I need to fill out the personal details of K’Mal. I hope this blurb has given you some insight into world in which he comes from.


History: Abridged

Born in 2375, K’Mal is the 2nd child of Tor’Nik and Valla. He grew up in the village of Vordyn in a time of civil unrest. As a young child he and his family lived in a rural outskirt of the town, away from the civil disobedience and climbing rates of crime. Religion and science were at war with each other in this depressed country of TuJion. More than 60% of all people from his Nation of Uynar were poverty stricken. Houses were little more than hand built shacks made by families. Parents, children, and sometimes grandparents and extended family members lived with K’Mal and his family. Disease went hand in hand with the poverty of the nation as well as regression in freedoms, liberties, and taboo’s by Federation standards. His country had taken so many steps backwards due to the greed of the wealthy and the subjugation of the religious. When the void of extortion from the Brekkians left the planet in dire parallel, there were always those who would seek to fill that void.

In 2384, when K’Mal was just eight years old, civil war broke out across the country. Government officials were murdered in mass and a revolt for the “good” of the people began. It was the beginning of a three year war that cost the lives of tens of thousands. In 2386, one of the military groups seized control over Vordyn and in an attempt to fight off the army from taking his land, Tor’Nik, K’Mal’s father, was captured and executed. The execution was held in public in the rubble of the town square to show all the citizens what would happen if they did not join the army’s cause. K’Mal was forced to witness the event along with his mother and sister. Their land was seized by the army and Valla, K’Mal’s mother, took her children and fled into the night. The survivors sought public shelters, friends, anyone willing to take them in. Many refused to help. Some even considered them criminals on the run. This would last nearly a year.

By mid-year 2387, the civil war had come to an end. The new government had been formed with the levers of power in control by a church who was willing to help anyone in need so long as at least lip service was given. Those would questioned the church or whose loyalty was in question would often be beaten or murdered by vigilantes all in the name of “the greater good.” Oppression had taken over from exploitation. Prior to The Global Trade Crisis roughly 20 - 25% of the nation had a religious belief. Today, more than 95% have or claim to have a strong religious affiliation in the country of Uynar.

For the next two years, Valla worked odd jobs just to keep the children fed. They lived with another family also living in poverty. The housing was constructed of very little lumber or modern materials that you might find in other nations on Ornara. It was truly a developing nation. The luxury of technology was scarce in her land. The remains of Uynar was rebuilt under the direction of the new governmental power and the city was renamed Neiroob. Valla wanted something more for her children than even herself.

As Brekka and Orana began new trade agreements between their worlds, some of the darker and more sinister of traders were looking for “indentured servitude” aka contracted slave labor. Those who were against the government or didn’t uphold the religion were often either placed in prison or sold into a black market. Through one of these Brekkian men, Valla bartered herself to enter into a contract so long as her children, K’Mal and his sister Seleion, were cared for. The trader agreed and with that, K’Mal, his sister Seleion, and his mother Valla all boarded a tradeship for Brekka. The three of them and 43 others were the “commodity” of the trip.

After leaving the planet on its way to Brekka, the ship suffered engine failure. A distress beacon was sent out and the USS Betelgeuse responded. The Captain and crew told the Federation ship that if the ship were not fixed in time their commodity, livestock, would likely die and they needed to get back to Brekka as quickly as possible to deliver the goods to the owners. Once the away team came aboard to help fix the problem, they were restricted to certain sections of the ship.

K’Mal and his family, and the other families now contracted to indentured servitude were told that if they spoke or made a sound that it would violate the contract and there would be no reason to carry them to Brekka and that they would be thrown out into space to die if they made any sounds. One of the women on board had an infant baby. When the baby started to cry, one of the Starfleet engineers heard it coming from the locked cargo bay. It was the sound of a human(oid) child. As the baby continued to cry, the mother desperately tried to silence the child. In an act of unthinkable horror, the slave trader, now owner of the mother, silenced the child permanently. Two Starfleet Engineers standing near the cargo bay conversing about the engine problem heard the baby crying and the sudden sound of phaser fire and the silence. K’Mal witnessed this entire event before his eyes. This scared 12 year old boy was now witness to two executions before him. One of his father and now an infant.

The Starfleet personnel banged on the door and eventually broke through the bay door after shorting out the computer terminal. To their own horror, they found the prisoners, the woman, the children, and the Brekkian slave traders. One of the woman sitting on the floor asked, in defiance of the Brekkian, for help. The Brekkian objected and told the woman to be silent. The Brekkian noted that it was against Starfleet’s Prime Directive. That’s when five of the woman, one of which was Valla, moved toward the Starfleet Crewman and began to beg for Sanctuary. This was a defining moment that would change K’Mal’s life forever.

All 45 surviving were removed from the Brekkian tradeship and moved onto the USS Betelgeuse. Initially the Captain was going to return the people to Ornara until it was learned that it was the Government of Uynar that had set forth the trade negotiations with Brekka. The other countries of Ornara set up strong sanctions against the country. The survivors were granted refuge from both other countries of Ornara and the Federation itself. Valla chose not to return to Ornara and stayed with the Federation.

They were delivered to Starbase 103 for processing and reassignment. (This starbase was chosen as it is the most likely closest to Ornara as it appears in the episode The Arsenal of Freedom which is the episode before Symbiosis which featured the Ornarans and the Brekkians) Once processed, Valla and the kids were sent to Starbase 118 where K’Mal would live his life until entering Starfleet.

Starbase 118 was simply amazing to K’Mal. Life had taken a turn for the better. There was no violence, no worry of being robbed. No one trying to take land. He lived in space… actual space! Starfleet did what they could to help the family transition to their new life. K’Mal was so happy in the secure feeling. He quickly made friends with other children on the space station and his respect and debt to Federation was something he vowed to one day repay.

It was during his education on Starbase 118 that he became interested in the sciences. Something about fossils really interested him and that lead to understanding minerals and eventually bio-mineralogy. The interest drives him to understand cultures of ancient and forgotten worlds, to seek out fossilized remains and understand evolution on planets and to find and understand how minerals in rock play a part in the makeup of living things. After all, we are all made of star stuff.

By the time he was 16, K’Mal knew he wanted to enlist into Starfleet. At 17 he had convinced himself that the quickest route to serving the Federation was the one year academy program and become an crewman. He planned to enter into a work study situation where he would become a crewman and take courses while he worked to eventually gain a degree in mineralogy and eventually bio-mineralogy which would require studies in biology and (xeno) paleontology. If he wanted to stay in school that long it would be a decade before he ever stepped into a role of serving Starfleet. Therefor, the work study program was the way he wanted to go.

On Stardate 239307.12 K’Mal officially entered into Starfleet. It was a proud day and even better days are soon to come.
