Detailed Descriptions

Character History

Eyas was raised on the planet Pythro V in a close-knit but disciplined military family. Eyas was lonely as he was an only child and found making friends difficult as his father was an officer in the Pythronic Defence Force which necessitated frequent moving of the family home when his father received new commissions. Eyas changed school at least 10 times.

Eyas grew into a typical young Pythron male: tall, broad with long wavy blond hair (almost like a lion's mane to human eyes). He received his ceremonial armour at the age of 18 (as with Pythronic custom) which he wears proudly over the chest area alongside his Star Fleet uniform badge on ceremonial occasions.

His parents approved of his joining Star Fleet, as his father, General Clovis Wulfantine, feels that trust and co-operation between Pythro and its Federation allies is for the greater good. Although technically an ally of the Federation, Pythro V maintains its own armed forces after it was attacked by an unknown alien invasion decades before and the Federation was too late to stop great loss of life.

Eyas was assigned to the USS Independence-A, initially as an Ensign in Security. His first task was to accompany Lieutenant Bron Storos to quell a riot on Deep Space 17 and arrest two potential assassins seen in the crowd. Eyas did manage to apprehend one of the assassins but got stabbed in the leg with a poisoned dagger. Although the wound seemed minor at the time, it had in fact delivered a parasite into his blood stream that was slowly re-coding his DNA into a more primitive type.

Eyas assisted his crewmates as they set forth to Wheeler Colony to intercept a drug shipment by the FTU ship, the K’Tarkin. During their pursuit, the Independence-A was caught in an artificially created spatial distortion. The ship had also been sabotaged by persons unknown whilst docked at DS17. The combination of these caused major damage to the Independence-A and the deaths of several crew. Eyas helped rescue both Lieutenant Tracey Townson and Crewman Rick Rawden from their respective perils during this time and for this he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and made Chief of Security.

Upon arrival at Wheeler Colony, Eyas was assigned to Fleet Captain Sidney Riley’s away team to locate the drug shipment and confiscate it. They managed to do this, but in the process Eyas was badly injured in a fight with a giant FTU henchman. The physical trauma of this and his earlier exertions accelerated the effects of the parasite upon his body. Suddenly, in front of his teammates, Eyas mutated rapidly into a giant reptilian creature. He was saved by his friend and colleague Ensign Alahndra Nevarass who he had taken into his confidence about his condition and had prepared a hypospray of antidote. Alahndra accompanied a semi-changed Eyas back to the Independence sickbay, where Alahndra managed to stabilise Eyas’ condition and slowly return him to a normal appearance. However, he had a relapse triggered by using the transporter, and ran amok through the promenade of DS17. He was again restored to normality but faced disciplinary proceedings for his actions. He would also have to take antidote for the rest of his life to prevent the parasite from regaining the upper hand once and for all. It also appeared that the mental scars would take even longer to heal than the physical ones. Despite his wreckless actions, he was nonetheless promoted to full Lieutenant on the eve of the next mission, this time to the Romulan colony of Bilire VI.

During his time on the Independence so far, Eyas has formed good friendships with his comrades – the two most significant being a burgeoning romance with Crewman Z'Leah in Security, and strong friendship with medical LtJG Alahndra Nevarass.
