Relationships
- Ktezic (Civilian, NPC)
Sojtis Arake has been in a queerplatonic relationship with Ktezic since 2394, with the two expressing their queerplatonic interest in each other in that year, and has maintained a relationship that goes between long-distance and not being long-distance very frequently. Ktezic is also Arake's childhood friend.
(Background/Personality/Career History)
- Born in August 19, 2376 as part of a baby boom that occurred on some worlds in the United Federation of Planets after the Dominion war, Sojtis Arake initially was raised in Tolari, a city containing the Tolari Tower prior to the Borg Invasion of 2381.
- Unfortunately, the Borg Invasion happened when Sojtis was only 5. The Arake family, consisting of them, their mother Jejte Arake, and their parent Suray Arake, had to evacuate Tolari extremely quickly, with Sojtis being unaware of what was happening until witnessing the Borg slag Risa from orbit, seeing Tolari, alongside the rest of Risa, destroyed as their shuttle left the planet, leaving Sojtis and the other members of the Arake family mentally scarred from the Invasion, and in the case of Sojtis, physically scarred, with a large scar on their left cheek (from their perspective - others would see it as their right cheek.) from falling debris from a collapsing skyscraper that never fully went away, even in their adulthood.
- The Arake family sought refuge on Remmil VI, and Sojtis, alongside their family, lived on the planet during most of their childhood. Sojtis attended grade schools on Remmil VI, and was educated in a way similar to how children were educated on Risa prior to the slagging of the planet.
- When Sojtis was 13, their family moved back to Risa, specifically the city of Tolari, as the damage had been finally repaired enough for Sojtis to be able to attend secondary education on Risa. Sojtis generally did fine in their school, but notably took an interest in pilgrimages to the still slagged parts of Risa, not wanting to forget what happened to their planet.
- Sojtis Arake gained a queerplatonic interest in Ktezic, who at the time was 18 and therefore the same age as Sojtis at the time, and with whom Sojtis was friends with since they were 16, who was the daughter of a Remmilian family that had immigrated to Risa to help fix up the planet via terraforming. The two became essentially inseparable, although both of them tended to flip between their relationship being long-distance and not being long-distance, as both of them often were not even in the same parts of Tolari.
- Sojtis eventually gained a wish to join Starfleet to explore the galaxy - or at least parts of the Beta and Alpha quadrants - and decided to attend Starfleet Academy to fulfill this wish at the age of 19, promising to regularly keep in touch with Ktezic before leaving Risa for Earth to attend Starfleet Academy. During their time at Starfleet Academy, they took a major in Science, specializing in Sociology and Anthropology & Archaeology, as they wanted to study Risa's history, especially how Risian society changed when climate stabilizers were introduced, as well as wanting to examine the societies of seemingly extinct species in order to avoid the mistakes they made, such as the Dinasians, Iccobar, Dewans, and Iconians. They also had two cadet cruises, making their time of attendance at the Academy 6 years long.
- Sojtis attended training at Starbase 118, graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2400 as a Science Officer.
- Sojtis Arake is currently a person who hides many of their emotions, having had to suppress their memories of Risa’s slagging and the stories their parents told them about it, as their parents unwittingly passed on the trauma of Risa’s slagging to Sojtis. Sojtis currently attempts to seem very serious in an attempt to come off as a “model” Starfleet officer, but in reality, does have what they consider to be a decent sense of humour and is often not very serious around people they’re close to, with them often joking to their friends about a resort extremely wealthy tourists who understood nothing about Risian culture went to going under in 2399 due to a lawsuit regarding the resort’s horrid gardens, commenting that the owner of that resort “must be very proud” of the resort’s failure. In addition, Sojtis thinks that it’s funny to lie about what their Ja’risia is, especially given that people outside Risa seem to be unaware that ja’risias in general tend to just be small discs, with some ja'risias being tattoos. Sojtis experiences trauma from the Borg Invasion of 2381 - they attempt to suppress this, but are often unsuccessful, given that this was one of their formative memories. This has manifested in their behaviour via being extremely concerned for the well-being of others, and most often choosing "flight" when in a "fight-flight-fawn" situation, preferring to avoid conflict, as "flight" was the only option they really had during the Borg Invasion of 2381, given that fawning would be useless and fighting would be futile. They currently attend group therapy sessions on Risa, often attending alongside other survivors of the destruction of Tolari and other people who were forced to flee their homes due to the Borg invading.
- Sojtis’ relationship with Ktezic is currently doing well, with them having met up on Risa with each other after Sojtis graduated from Starfleet Academy, and promising to regularly keep in touch with them.
