Backstory/Timeline

2363 - 2381: Normal public education. Family relocates five times during this period as father is assigned new projects in different regions. Dueld learns to make acquaintances easily, but also that relationships weaken quickly over distance. Dueld is generally a good student, but seldom the best-- does well at science and math and visual design, but has difficulty with languages, and has no ear for music. He is a passable student at history and civics, with a wide knowledge of general facts, but not much specific depth.

2381 - 2385: Finished basic schooling, he wanders off to explore. Spends a little over a year working odd jobs and moving from place to place on Catulla, then takes a longer term post as a replication/environmental systems tech on a slow passenger liner (the Joyous Hope) bound for a massive Federation-wide science/spirituality summit on Bajor.

Arriving on Bajor, starts ‘volun-touring’. Helps out with Bajoran restoration projects, and in his spare time sees what is left of the Bajor that existed before the Cardassian and Dominion occupations. Admires the sheer scope and ingenuity of ancient achievements, like the Bajoran lightsailers. Over the next two years, comes to realize how fragile even great civilizations are, and how important Starfleet is in protecting the members of the Federation. Decides to pursue his passion for building within Starfleet itself.

2385 - present: Starfleet Academy, Bajoran sector. Major: Engineering. Tested out of courses on replicator and life support systems, barely passed language credit (Bajoran), got permission to take four individual study electives in architecture and design (one each year.)
