Parents
Mother: Kara Semu
Bey's mother, an Argelian capable of empathic contact, met Bey's "designated father" while the latter was on shore leave on Argelius II. Soon after, Liqu Semu retired and the couple moved to Earth after they married.. At her mother's insistence, the married couple set up residence in Bois Caudex, a commune in Upstate New York. Bey's mother felt the commune was the closest cultural match to her home world that could be found on Earth.
Even though Bey legally emancipated herself from her parents at age twelve, Bey maintains erratic contact with her mother.
Father: Liqu Semu
Liqu Semu reached the rank of Senior Chief Specialist before retiring (his last posting was on the USS Zerai Deres). Bey refers to Liqu as her designated father, since she is convinced he is not her biological father. Bey has not had contact with Liqu since leaving the commune at age 12 (when she was legally emancipated from him and Kara). Bey insists her father played no part in her joining Starfleet. Nevertheless, Bey often quotes and Liqu's maxims when deciding how to act in Starfleet.
The List of Maxims includes (but is not limited to)
- Don't bro them until you know them
- When a superior is acting crazy, that is not an invitation to join their craziness
Siblings
Since Bey is unsure of who here biological father is, she is not sure if she might have half-siblings. Given the nature of the commune in which she grew up, even if Liqu Semu is her biological father, she knows that he could have fathered other children on the commune. In any event, Bey knows her mother only had one child, and Bey has no interest in determining either who her biological father is, or if she has any half-siblings.
Personal History
Bey was born in a region of North America known colloquially as Upstate New York. The commune she was born in, Bois Caudex, had been established to promote such ideas as New Human-ness, Free Love and other counterculture maxims.
At age five, Bey showed signs that she had been born with Quattuor Nonvera Cerebri, more commonly known as Placca's Syndrome. Placca's Syndrome is an incredibly rare genetic condition that can occur in the offspring of human and Argelians, particularly if one or both of the parents has psychic abilities. Individuals with Placca's Syndrome are nearly impossible to "read," either telepathically or empathically, and are often mathematical savants. They are also more prone to mild forms of social anxiety. as well as the onset of dementia in the latter stages of life.
At age twelve, Bey found a sponsor and had herself legally emancipated from her parents.
At age sixteen, Bey was enrolled in a local community college. By age twenty-three, she had earned a doctorate in applied mathematics from Princeton University.
At age eighteen, a friend convinced Bey to participate in a Parisses Squares based holonovel. The program itself minimized the more violent aspect of the game, but Bey still developed an aversion for Parisses Squares and most other contact sports.
Bey is an avid fan of parkour, mudding and other forms of "adventure racing," both as a participant and a spectator. Bey can rattle off statistics of any athlete at the drop of a hat.
Bey's embarking on an academic career in the field of applied mathematics was due, in part, to her genetic predisposition toward the subject, and also in part as a sort of act of defiance against the hedonistic upraising she had received. Initially, she had no desire to enter Starfleet, associating the Fleet with the negative feelings she had toward her "designated father."
However, during her academic career, she had the opportunity to meet a number of Starfleet members past and present. Some were fellow students, others were instructors. They would either be officers or enlisted personnel furthering their education, or retirees looking to develop new interests or find opportunities to share accumulated knowledge. Bey even became friends with the cadet captain whom she beat out at the Match Race Championship as Princeton's captain.
There was no "Aha" moment when Bey decided that she wanted to pursue a career in Starfleet. Her decision was a gradual thing. At the age of sixteen, a career in Starfleet was the last thing she would ever consider. At age twenty-three, when she earned her doctorate, her decision to join Starfleet seemed almost inevitable.
