History
Born on Earth, raised going to public schools by his father. Calvin did his best to raise the boy after his birth. Captain Skyfire did what she could to raise the boy before she was recalled to negotiate peace on Romulus when Chythar was 12.
As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. His graduation was a brief family reunion with his mother and father, along with an MD at age 23. Post-graduation, his mother left yet again for more diplomatic work.
Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, he has a brief reunion with Captain Skyfire, and it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring.
Now an orphan, on his second posting since exiting the academy, he is trying to come out of his shell and make some friends.
Languages Known
Terran: Greek, Chinese, Hebrew, Latin, Russian, English, and Japanese. He'll never admit openly to knowing Japanese, but he writes in it occasionally.
Education
| Years | Institution | End Result |
|---|---|---|
| 236203 to 236207 | Starfleet Academy | Science Degree |
| 236201 to 236203 | University of Washington | Doctor of Medicine |
During his time at Starfleet, Chythar Skyfire felt he was doing alright in his classes, but in either case managed to pass them. He did surprisingly well, despite constantly having flashbacks to his time at UW.
Family History
Captain Kyrethia Skyfire has been on Romulus for several years, working with a minor faction to maintain peace. They seem to like her to stay in order to maintain said peace, and she was very proud when her son Chythar announced after his graduation from UW to go off to Starfleet. She remained on Romulus until her death, at the destruction of the planet.
Calvin wasn't that big into Starfleet, and had no affiliation. He was a single father for many years, and dropped off the face of the map after his son graduated from Starfleet Academy. Word of his death reached Chythar when he was stationed on Starbase 118.
Notable Relationships
Ryoji Chibitsu -- met during his years at Starfleet Academy, this particular counselor has been his biggest source of support since joining. He is the only person who can actually get inside Skyfire's head and keep him from losing his mind. He's also one of the lucky few who has a copy of Skyfire's ciphers.
Mannerisms
Chythar handles stress differently than most linguists. He creates a cipher that he distributes to his friends -- and depending on what language the letter is written in determines what point in his stress level he's at. One would have to know him well enough to comprehend this cryptic tactic first. Subconsciously, he may not realize he's writing in a 'panic' language' until told by the person who received his letter.

Notable Events
His arrival onto Starbase 118 happened just in time for them to leave on the Odyssey mission. He managed to survive his first mission with his mind relatively intact, and afterward had himself a drink with Commander Benjamin Walker and Marine Captain Joseph Dubeau to discusss a game of poker. He passed out hardcore that night after the fact, due to some Antaran brandy. He woke up in time to learn of a beach party hosted by Lt. Commander Matthews, the new first officer. He woke up confused, because far as he knew, Walker was still the first officer.
During his time on Starbase 118, he had hated the Code Blues that always interrupted his off-days. All he wanted to do was have a day to himself, but he tried to be first on the scene whenever Lt. MacLaren and one of said pesky Code Blue situations arose.
