Biography

Saryn Caelin has been born on Orion and was raised to be prepared for being a slave, to be sold when her time came. This was exactly what happened. An Officer of the Orion military Olan Pasel bought her from a trader. He took her with him onto his assignments. One of them led into Battle with Klingons. His ship was captured by those Klingons and the whole crew was killed. When they went through the ship for loot, the one who killed Olan also found his belongings, among them Saryn, who was quite advanced in pregnancy at this time. Despite his orders to kill everyone on board, he took her with him and into his home, although Saryn had been scared of him.

Sherana in Klingon Military

Sherana was born a bit more than a month later in 2359. By the time she was 8 Saryn was a changed woman and she and Grawn married. Well not everything had changed, she still had her upbringing and tried to teach Sherana everything that she had learned, but also Gawn, who treated her like his own, taught her Klingon life. So she learned to fight and to serve. Sherana was never a fan of learning of her Orion side, and dismissed those teachings most of the time, other when it came to the fighting spirit of Orions. She wanted to visit the Klingon Academy with her peers, but being Orion in biology her parents were reluctant to send her at the same age. Sherana fought tooth and nail with them, training and challenging her father over and over, until she was finally allowed to go when she turned 13, after she had proven she could go through her First Rite of Ascension as any other Klingon child and she became an adult. She joined the Academy in 2372 full of spirit, and while she struggled with some things she learned fast and showed her peers and teachers that she was cut of the same cloth as the other Cadets.

Sherana in 2393 at the Family Reunion party

After graduation Sherana joined the Klingon Forces, constantly showing doubters that she was more than just a slave girl in a costume. Those who worked with her longer did not have to be convinced, only those who never met her before could hardly believe that she belonged there until she prove it to them. She climbed the ranking ladder up with her abilities and loyalty up to the rank of Sogh (Lieutenant). On many assignments she lost comrades, but one of those assignments will always stand out. She was stationed on the IKS HoS with some of her lifelong friends and she lost all of them, but she finished the assignment. For a successful mission and her survival, she was promoted to La'Hom (Lt.Commander) in 2383. She never told anyone in which situation her comrades were lost, but that they were on duty, so they would remain honored. But she did not get quite over the loss. Once she was healed again she told her parents that she had to leave and they let her go, to find her own way to deal with the situation.

Leaving with Traders in early 2384 she visited quite some planets, staying here and there for a little while but then stayed on Earth in 2385. Finding some peace in nature she kind of fell into training right there, without searching for it. A botanist took her under her wing, taught her what he know for the next five and a half years, sharing his passion and knowledge with the battered soul who found solace in a new profession. But she missed being on ships and after months of beating herself up about it, her Mentor suggested a position as Botanist to her on a Federation Vessel. It took several applications through a period of two years until she finally got an acceptance letter and landed on the USS Apollo in 2391 where she would take care of the Arboretum.

As the crew relocates to the USS Constitution-B, she follows to serve under a new CO on a new ship. Her wounds still healing she works passionately as Botanist, though over time wishes to return to a more active duty path. After discussions with the ship's leadership she applied for a half time position in Security under her old rank in 2396. A little bit later she is accepted into the inter-species Exchange program and now works part time as a Security Officer and part time as Botanist in the Arboretum. During her time in Security she is Lt.Cmdr Sherana in full Klingon Uniform. As Botanist she works as Civilian.
