Both portions together are his name in Federation society at large; calling him 'Ongra' is a privilege only extended to others in his upsol generation. | Tanjar-Ongra was born into a herd (or upsol) of spice farmers, on Grazer.

Personal History
Tanjar-Ongra was born into a herd (or upsol) of spice farmers, on Grazer. As is customary, every generation in the upsol is given their timename every 8 Terran years, so every child born in that period shares the same name - Tanjar, chosen by the elders, meaning 'heaven-traveller'. Ongra is his personal name, meaning 'light' or 'bright', on account of his white hair. Both portions together are his name in Federation society at large; calling him 'Ongra' is a privilege only extended to others in his upsol generation.
In the upsol, all adults share in child rearing duties equally in an extended-family structure; especially close in the rural areas of Grazer, which retains a pristeen agricultural ecology and landscape, with few cities. Although he has blood siblings, they are part of his wider network of contemporaries who grew up with him, picking seed pods, age-smoking flower heads and processing grass oils in the long nightless summers of the homeworld.
Tanjar-Ongra had a natural affinity for working with the machinery of the plantation. His aptitude was recognised in school, and he worked to join Starfleet Academy, to see the stars as his elders envisioned.
Writers' Bible
Tanjar-Ongra is one of the few Grazerites in Starfleet, or that even travels off-world. The instinctual call of the herd of these pacifist, remote people have precluded too many individuals coming forward to participate in galactic events. In that sense, Tanjar-Ongra is not a typical Grazerite - a young man of huge curiosity about the universe and the things that happen in it. As such, he suffers from a Worf-like loneliness during his service, and in alien company tries his best to adapt to his new "herd" of the starship. As such, he is reclusive - not a very Grazerite trait, who are a communal people - in his wish not to offend humanoids who value privacy. Ironically, he is seen as too isolationist at home on Grazer and too communal and frank by most aliens, including humans. This also contributes to his overall tech-nerd feel, busying himself in engineering side-projects, verging on the mad professor at times.
As Grazerites have a mating cycle of approximately 8 earth years, and although parenthood is very important to Grazerite society, Tanjar-Ongra has little interest in women at any given time. He enjoys developing a close friendship with a woman as much as a man, but nothing romantic. This also contributes to his long-standing feelings of being an atypical "bad" Grazerite - his restlessness and lack of willingness to settle down.
The Grazerites are known as a people who love to debate and talk - Tanjar-Ongra rarely uses 1 word where 5 will do. His dialogue contributions will usually be lengthily deliberative, pacifistic and cautionary. He is not immune to an occasional "Eureka!" moment, especially when considering an engineering problem, and is just as likely to run to the bridge in the middle of a sonic shower like Archimedes to tell of his idea.
As such, he is not a typical military type. He is messy in his quarters, chosen for his engineering skills rather than an all-round command knowledge. The latter will hopefully develop with time in the group.
