Background
Bran Karaz was born on Alpha Centauri in Stardate 236812.08 to unjoined parents, his mother Brynna was a comms specialist for a Trill ambassador, his father Kaihl was a Starfleet doctor stationed at a local fleet hospital. The relationship ended when his father was deployed to a hospital ship to support the Federation's war against the Dominion. Bran continued to live with his mother, where his diplomatic upbringing revealed a talent for language. Moving to Earth in his early Teens where he bought into Federation Ideals hard, dreaming of one day attending Starfleet Academy. He attended an academy prep school and graduated with good but not impressive grades. Advised to delay his application, he received an invitation from his father on Trill, who had since retired from Starfleet and joined The Guardians. Believing his son to be an excellent candidate for The Joining, Bran arrived to find himself scheduled for immediate testing. Never desirous of a Symbiont, Bran nevertheless crammed and attended his tests, almost out of curiosity. Though once again, he struggled with the Sciences, his language fluency, ambitious curiosity, and psychological profile seemed to suitably impress the Commission.
The Symbiont, Maro, had never left the Caves of Mak'ala. In fact, Maro was younger than his first host and could barely control his excitement to see the Galaxy and all of its diverse people and cultures. The Joining proved a good idea for both parties and Bran Maro knew that nothing would stop him from his destiny going where no one had gone before. Returning to San Francisco only felt right and with the additional drive and confidence, he passes the entry exam with flying colors. He studied Xenology until at the end of his first year he met and fell madly in love with a Vulcan classmate named T'Pera. He started studying psychology to impress her. To some degree it worked, though the relationship ended as quickly as it began. The experiment was attempted several times again, always to the same screeching halt. Nevertheless, Maro's fascination with the mind propelled him towards a degree in Counseling. Ultimately he dual majored in Counseling and Science, graduating with reasonably high marks but a far more impressive extracurricular career where he was exposed to as many alien cultures as possible. His ultimate dream is to make first contact, meeting and documenting alien cultures never dreamed of wirh Maro's eternally burning curiosity spurring him on.
