Early Life

Born in Iyax, Denobula, to Bem (99) and Tira (103); he spent his early childhood helping his parents on his grandfather's farm, who passed away just before Pholin was born. He felt free running and playing on the farm. When Pholin was four years old his brother Fren (53) was born. He learned how to be a good brother and played with him on the farm fields. Three years after Fren was born, their father went back to work for the Denobulan Marine, like he did before his children were born. Pholin was then only seven and did not understand why he would do that, and began to develop a grudge for the Marine.

Although Pholin loved his father, he disagreed with him most of the time. Whether it was about his friends or his grades, his father always had something to complain. Pholin was more close to his mother since he felt more like her. They were both open and always ready to talk; they also always had a smile on their face. Pholin - even to this day - did not understand the relationship between his parents; they never agreed on anything. Where Pholin was more drawn to his mother, Fren was closer to his father. He was almost as conservative and grumpy as his dad. He had already decided to join the Marine when he was only eight years old.

He performed dexterous in school and made some good friends, some still friends with him to this day. He was interested in a lot of topics in school to the surprise of his parents. He would talk for hours about his new science project, while his mom would talk about her adventures in the Marine. The two brothers would often listen to stories of their mom while sitting near the fireplace, as it would get very cold in winter. Every summer, their father would come back. As Pholin got older, he could feel the atmosphere worsen as his father would be back. Grumpy from the morning to night, Pholin would try to amuse him with a joke, but even that didn't work. He would later learn from his mother that his father was depressed during Pholin's childhood since his father had died.

Pholin's parents had always wanted him to join the Marine too, but during his puberty, he expressed that he wasn't planning on joining the Marine. Both his parents disagreed when he decided not to apply for the Marine after his studies, it took him two years to convince his parents it was what he wanted. It was a stressful time for him since he had no one to support his decision and sometimes questioned if this even was the thing he wanted. Even his own brother turned against him, as he did plan on joining the Marine. Luckily Pholin could talk to his uncle, Kolir (94), who stood up for him. He lived near Pholin and he could always go to Kolir if he was upset.

Denobulan Science Academy

At the age of seventeen Pholin had completed his primary education; he had decided in his last year to attempt to join the Denobulan Science Academy. Like the Vulcan Science Academy, it was a prestigious school, with only so many places. He participated in the first round of applications, only to find himself hospitalized with a broken leg, after tripping over someone's lemur. He tried to participate in all the events from inside the hospital, but was later disqualified. Luckily his mother knew a professor in the DSA; they grew up together. They both pulled some strings. Pholin eventually got accepted - he believes unfairly.

Now he was actually in the Academy, and he enjoyed life there. During the day, he could socialize with all his fellow students. But when he was tired at the end of the day, he had a room to go back to, where he was alone and where he could concentrate. The first few years were tough, he was expected to have a lot of foreknowledge. His mentor, Raza (deceased), guided him through it, succesfully. He would later go with Pholin to Bajor. He also made some friends at the academy, but they mostly went their own ways after they graduated.

He graduated twentieth of his class, majoring in Sociology.

Bajor and DS9

In 2369, just after Pholin graduated, the newly formed Bajoran Provisional Government asked for all possible help to rebuild Bajor. Pholin was immediately hooked, and tried to find other people to form the Denobulan Rebuilding Mission of Bajor (DRMB). He and his mentor, Raza, led the mission and departed from Denobula on a ship of the science academy in October 2369.

His parents actually loved that Pholin went to help the people on Bajor, which led to some fun months leading up to his departure. They did want him to marry, at least once, before he left. But he wasn't going to marry someone and them leave them for however long it would be. He didn't even love someone back on Denobula.

His time on Bajor wasn't particularly comfortable, since he was one of the people who needed to make it comfortable again. It was hard work, but he had time to do what he had also come for, studying the impact on the people of Bajor. What he found was not surprising, a lot of families broken apart, and people who lost their lives to fight for their ideals. He learned a lot on Bajor.

He also met a lot of interesting people there, particularly Hana (51). She was a woman who was half Bajoran and half Denobulan, although visually she looked completely Denobulan. She grew up on Bajor, under Cardassian rule, and felt more attached to her Bajoran side.
