-* '''Personality Type''': Zayar has a soft though distant personality. He likes to be around people, but mainly to observe and take part in activities that don't require much talking on his part. He likes to listen and while he rarely hands out advice, it is often wise. His personality is where his El-Aurian heritage really shows. He rarely gives away anything about himself and he possesses a certain, otherworldly quality to him, but he himself is very much detached. He is often very unwilling to become involved in affairs that do not concern him, and usually not even then. He is the epitome of a non-judgmental person.

He is often very unwilling to become involved in affairs that do not concern him, and usually not even then. He is the epitome of a non-judgmental person. Zayar is very much, at heart, a Berber, though he is a quiet one, and his exposure to other cultures has given him a strong, internal identity, that is not easily figured from his outward behavior or by what he says. He also does not discuss his heritage with others, beyond small quips about his childhood and the culture of his people. Some would say he's secretive, but perhaps years of observation have taught him the fine art of extracting information without volunteering any about himself.
 * '''Humor''': He is very, very witty and funny in writing, in person, less so.
 * '''Likes:''' "A multitude of things"

 * '''Hobbies:''' Observation, writing about cultures.
 * '''Religion:''' Zayar is a very secular person and does not practice religion, though he still believes, though not in any one deity.
+* '''Languages''': Zayar's first language is the Kabyle dialect of Berber (Taqbaylit), though he rarely speaks in it anymore, contributing to his lack of an accent. He also speaks several other dialects of Berber (Tamazight) in addition to Federation Standard and French, though he did not learn these until his early teens.
+* '''Quarters''': They are rather comfortable, with many North African accents.
+* '''Education''':
+** Bachelor's of Science: Anthropology: Starfleet Academy, San Francisco
+** Doctor of Philosophy: Cultural Anthropology: University of Oran, Oran
+** Post-Graduate Work: Vulcan Science Academy, Shi'kahr, Vulcan
+* '''Favorite Things''':
+** '''Food''': Zayar has learned to eat what is in front of him and not be picky. He claims to not taste much of anything anymore due to his repression of his sense of taste among alien cultures where 'exotic' ingredients are featured.
+** '''Sports''': Zayar frequently participates in the 'athletic cultural activities' of whatever culture he is observing. If he actually likes any kind of sport is unknown.

+*'''Mezwar Feraoun''': Zayar's father, Mezwar is a very firm traditionalist who holds his identity as a Berber very close. He insisted on only speaking Kabyle at home and this contributed to a lack of communication (at least good communication) between him and his wife. His culture is very important to him and the thought of raising his son in a multicultural environment was out of the question to him.
+*'''Jherain Nevarin''': Centuries old and a lifelong traveler, Jherain has floated from place to place for many years and is very much a free spirit, and not the typical wise El-Aurian one might otherwise encounter. Zayar observed that she experienced more than she actually listened and never sought to actually understand, which no doubt contributed to the deterioration of the relationship between herself and Mezwar. After years of fighting caused by deep cultural differences, Jherain left New Numidia and Zayar went to live with his paternal grandparents, before entering Starfleet two years later.
