Dr. Harrison Kiani is a Human/Al-Leyan Medical Officer/Medical Scientist serving aboard Amity Outpost. He was born bearing the name Laime Pergalen on the auspicious day of "Komunceco Vivo" (Communion with Life), marking the end of winter and beginning of spring. The Ensign has long since forsaken any association with his birth culture, having spent most of his formative years on the USS Curie and later Tarola'n, Alpha Centauri IV.

Dr. Aquila Kinai
Birth Mother, Age 67 | Human
If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession. They would only be half right in doing so, for despite her aloofness, a part of her desperately wanted to be close to her family. She could be warm, kind, and even loving at times, making these moments of vulnerability doubly cherished by those who loved her - whether due to obligation or through some genuine unexplained fondness.
Aquila was born in Georgetown, Guyana, but unlike most Terrans, she was desperate to leave. She had always had a particular love for plant life, and when given the chance to train in Botany at the prestigious University of Betazed, she hopped onto the first liner off-world. This, would mark the beginning of a long and storied career in the field. Culminating in the synthesis of a novel strand of food crop varieties that were particularly resistant to a myriad of climatic conditions and would regularly guarantee high yields. The breakthrough resulted in a marked improvement in the quality of life for colonists with limited access to energy. For her work, Aquila has been awarded multiple commendations and honours from various institutions. But, the closest to her heart remains the renaming of the Exrenitii Conservatory in Tarola'n to the Aquila Kiani Wildlife Sanctuary.
Isobel Ryce
Mother, Age 41 | Centauran
In obvious contrast stood Isobel Royce, once a teacher aboard the USS Centris, now working as an independent artist and critic with her own studio. To Harry she'd started off as Miss Royce and somewhere down the line turned into a mother. She doted on Harry ever since he was a child. Whenever he'd send a bauble or souvenir from wherever in the cosmos he'd decided to perch, it was to her that the messages were addressed. Always with an addendum attached inquiring about his mother's health, as any dutiful son must. It was she who stood by him when Harry announced his intention to join Starfleet, and it was from her that he'd inherit his love for holophotography.

Aspect, Interests & Mannerisms
Mannerisms
- Quarters: On most occasions his quarters are maintained with an almost military precision; sheets neatly folded, possessions ordered and alphabetised.
- Temperament: Harry has a genial and approachable nature. And can chat about differential equations just as easily as he can about the chances of your favourite team winning the Parrises Squares Championship.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: While he does not believe that there is any benefit to metaphysics as a subject of inquiry, he has a certain degree of appreciation for the moral teachings of certain Earth religions. Gnostic Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism and Zoroastrianism have been of particular interest, but he has also made a cursory study of the polytheistic religious system of the Betazoids.
- Personality: Ensign Kiani's a motivated Medical Officer, living in the shadow of an accomplished and overbearing mother. Harry's decision to join Starfleet was the only example of a rebellion against her wishes, that he could recount. To Harry, Starfleet represents a way to break out of his shell, to develop an independent streak; to actually nurture hobbies that weren't assigned to him. With his peers Kiani has been described as being sociable and eager. His need to be helpful, to be of use, if being uncharitable, could be seen as the traits of a pushover. Yet, it is this instinct that makes the Ensign an excellent field medic, capable of great feats of bravery when faced with adversity.
Interests
- General Interests: History, Holophotography, Book Collecting, Parrises Squares & Tri-D Chess.
- Favourite Authors: Allen Ginsberg & Yukio Mishima
- Favourite Films: Bee Movie & Force Majeure
- Favourite Musicians: Spotsy Music & Warp Drive and the Ithassa Five
- Prized Possessions: An English translation of the Shahnahmeh first published sometime in the 19th century & a powerful holo-imager of Ferengi make.
Aspect
- The Radical: Relatively early during his course of study at the University of Betazed (perhaps his 4th or 5th semester), a young and impressionable Harrison Kiani, fell in with a group of Betazoid renegades. Fiercely opposed to a nationalist political organisation called the Guardians of Betazed. To this 'outfit,' they were nothing more than "terrorists masquerading as patriots." Many of them had expressed an interest in joining Starfleet, and when Harry said he wished to do the same he was happily ushered into the group (there was also the matter of having to buy each member their round for a week - as a sort of 'joining fee'). One night, during the usual sessions of heavy drinking, they had decided to brand Harry to make him a permanent fixture of the cause. Thus, half-conscious and not knowing where he was, Harry got his first and only tattoo. It was a strange symbol. Parts of it felt familiar - like something he'd seen on important-looking buildings that lined the central promenade. His compatriots thought it to be quite funny. But, the looks that he'd gotten from the tattoo artist and some of the more timid hangers-on amongst the renegades, told him this was something the authorities would not have the same chipper attitude about.
