* '''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. 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.

*'''[[Faranster, Shelther|Commander Shelther Faranster]]''': Zayar regards the Captain of the Constitution as a man of great ability, but perhaps still coming into his own with his new command, much like Zayar himself.

Born on the Human colony world of New Numidia, Zayar is the son of the Kabyle Berber, Mezwar Feraoun and the El-Aurian Jherain Nevarin. New Numidia was a colony established in the early 24th century to act as a new homeland for the Berber peoples of various tribes. Zayar was born in Bejaia the capital of the New Algeria territory, which acted as the homeland for the Kabyle and Chouia tribes. Growing up in a traditional and culturally minded, but still modern environment, Zayar spoke only the various dialects of Berber spoken in the city and did not learn Federation Standard until his secondary schooling. His mother's command of the language was good enough, but in comparison to everyone else around them, Jherain spoke both poorly and fluently, increasing her own sense of isolation from the community and her husband, who was immune to her plight. The deep cultural divides between his parents eventually tore them apart after many attempted reconciliations. At age 16, his mother left the colony and Zayar was sent to live with his paternal grandparents, finishing his schooling and later joining Starfleet after being recruited as one of the few viable potential cadets from the wild and largely untamed Avalon Sector. While this could be interpreted as a sort of affirmative action, neither Zayar, nor his instructors ever doubted his potential or readiness for the Academy.
While not precisely a model Cadet, Zayar was a model student and on academics alone, he graduated near the top of his class at the Academy. Much of his knowledge in fields such as the sciences could be considered rudimentary, but this knowledge was largely unimportant for someone seemingly destined for the life of a Starfleet scholar, or diplomat. Zayar later pursued graduate studies at the University of Oran in his grandfather's homeland of Algeria, gaining a PhD in cultural anthropology four years later. After gaining his doctorate, Zayar did some post-graduate study at the Vulcan Science Academy. His year on Vulcan is one of the most mysterious times of Zayar's life and to the best of anyone's knowledge, he has never spoken of it. Many theories abound, but the simplest (and perhaps most likely) explanation is that he does not consider that year to have been particularly eventful.
After completing his education, Zayar was assigned to Starfleet Command and assigned as a special representative to the Avalon Sector, tasked with observing and recording the various cultures of the region, from tribal to spaceworthy. Zayar fulfilled this role for 3 years, taking meticulous notes all the while, which are now housed in his multi-volume journals. When Starfleet decided to finally get serious about their interests in the Avalon Sector, Zayar was assigned to the new flagship of the region, the [[USS Constitution-B]], newly recommissioned for Deep Space under the command of [[Faranster, Shelther| Commander Shelther Faranster]]. Being the only expert on the region and one of the only natives, Zayar's assignment was seen as a natural one, though apparently no thought was given to his readiness for such a task or his willingness to fulfill the role.

Zayar was among the first to come into contact with the alien infection that invaded the Constitution, at least he should have been. Along with Lieutenant Phos, Zayar was sequestered for most of the crisis, totally unaware of the events unfolding around them. Eventually they were called upon to help Ensign Sivah and Lieutenant Faranfey formulate a plan to get rid of the gas creatures that further threatened the ship. While eventually, everyone's efforts came to naught and the gas creatures left the ship, Zayar felt shaken in his inability to do anything during the crisis. This led him to formulate a plan to observe other senior officers to widen his skillset and become a better mission specialist and advisor to Commander Faranster.

'''Feraoun''': The geographic location of one's birth and upbringing is less important than the knowledge of what kind of community they grew up in. I grew up in one defined by history, heritage, and tradition, a new homeland for an ancient and very diverse group of Humans. Suffice to say, it's a small city on the edge of a beautiful ocean. It sits at the foot of rolling green hills that eventually form into mountains that spring up on the landscape, forming a barrier between the green lushness and the desert wastes. It was a beautiful place to be surrounded by, and the people were kind, and had a strong sense of community.
