Personal History

---

Ar’Gorvalei was born in the rural province of Lyrin, on the Efrosian continent of Tybol. He is the eldest of the two children of his mother, Ull’Chuna. Like many Efrosians, he did not meet his father, who had separated from his mother and moved on before Ar’Gorvalei was born. He was raised by his mother and his two uncles, Ky-Tyras and Ky-Donelei. His maternal grandfather, whom he also grew up around, was a renowned warrior-priest, one of the traditional leaders of the Efrosian tribes.

Ar’Gorvalei’s mother was a music teacher, and Ar’Gorvalei received vocal lessons. His uncle Ky-Tyras worked as a technician and his other uncle Ky-Donelei is involved in food distribution.

From an early age, Ar’Gorvalei had an interest and talent for medicine, knowing almost intuitively what ailed a creature or person. His warrior-priest grandfather, a great healer himself, encouraged Ar’Gorvalei, although the boy did not consider joining the priesthood. When Ar’Gorvalei was in his teens, his mother took another lover, and his younger sister Ull’Corvas was born. Around that time, Ar’Gorvalei took part in a camping trip in the frozen north.

Ar’Gorvalei and a friend became separated from the group, and wandered into an area of unstable ice. The two fell into a crevasse, and Ar’Gorvalei’s friend was killed in the fall. Ar’Gorvalei has strange, disjointed memories of being cared for by a tall, beautiful woman (who was perhaps also a ball of blindingly bright light) in a city made of crystal. He was found sometime later by the camping leader, delirious with a broken leg but with his wounds bound. Whether his fragmented memories of that time were real or hallucination, Ar’Gorvalei did not know, but it did set him on a new path: he followed his grandfather’s footsteps and entered the priesthood.

Passing the initiation trials was grueling, but helped prepare him for his studies at the S’skotomz Seminary. All the while, he sought answers to his vision, but even in the great record-library of the seminary, Ar’Gorvalei found few clues.

Ar’Gorvalei excelled at the medical arts, the martial arts and meditative practices of the Efrosian warrior-priests. When he completed his studies, Ar’Gorvalei was encouraged to seek answers elsewhere, and so he enlisted in Starfleet Academy.

While attending the academy, Ar’Gorvalei studied xenobiology, focusing on human and Andorian biology, and pathology. He also studied the comparative psychologies of several races. In addition, during his time at the academy, he also developed an interest in the music of other cultures, particularly Earth, and has attempted learning different instruments, although he still prefers singing.

Ar’Gorvalei had a few brief, romantic relationships during his time at the academy, and a human roommate who nearly drove him crazy but also taught him a lot about humans.

Ar’Gorvalei believes in moderation in all things, and rarely drinks; even then, only small amounts. He has recently discovered a liking for spicy food, although he does not yet have much of a tolerance for it.
