Meng Ishkan Tian was born to Arshak and Nshan on the planet Marlonia in the province of J'latoun. Meng's parents, both professors at the Marlonian Institute of Technology, encouraged Meng at a a young age to explore all that was around him. All Kerelians from a young age study music and are well versed in most of the galaxies genre. Meng and his brother were no different. Ironically, Kerelian culture discourages creation of new music styles and his parents, Kerelian fundamentalist, adhered to this philosophy. Meng was not content to just study the music styles of others. He wanted to express his creativity and create his own unique music. So at the age of sixteen Meng applied to and was accepted to the the Aldebaran School of Music. At first Ashkon was not happy with his son's decision and offered no support. Nshan had been more aware of her younger sons adventurous nature and always felt it was a matter of time before he would spread his wings. She eventually was able to convince Ashkon it was for the best and on 238008.23 Meng hugged his parents and brother and boarded the transport Beltran for Aldebaran. | Meng Ishkan Tian was born to Arshak and Nshan on the planet Marlonia in the province of J'latoun.

Soon he had mastered [[ma:Mok%27bara|mok'bara]] and competed in many competitions. On StarDate 238101.26, at the age of 17, Meng traveled to the Gamma 400 System where Starbase 12 was hosting the UFoP's martial arts championships. In the quickest knockout in the competitions history, the young Kerelian defeated the reigning champion to earn the T'letyn Sash (Grand Champion). It was only natural that he also mastered use of the Bat'leth. His talented use of the fearsome blade was noticed by a Klingon student while on Aldebaran and subsequently was the first Kerelian to be invited to the annual Bat'leth competition on Forcas III. He finished the competition with many injuries but was able to achieve Junior Champion Standing. | ||
After his graduation the young Kerelian was restless and wanted to see more of the Galaxy. He traveled extensively to refine his martial arts skills as well as his language skills. While winning more and more competitions in both music and martial arts something was still missing. As a child he loved a mystery. So after a few days of thought and sub-space communications with his parents, he submitted his application for Star Fleet Academy and was soon accepted. Surprisingly Arshak was more supportive this time than Nshan. On 238501.20 Meng packed up his Bat'leth and entered Star Fleet Academy. Now he just needed to decide between Fleet Marines or Fleet Intelligence. Cadet Tian's journey had started. | After his graduation the young Kerelian was restless and wanted to see more of the Galaxy.

Cadet Tian wished there was a minor for Fleet Marines but that was something that could not be had. He did make Marine friends and trained with them when the opportunities were had. The hardened Marines were impressed with his toughness and expertise with the Bat'leth and invited him to holodeck battle simulations. | Cadet Tian wished there was a minor for Fleet Marines but that was something that could not be had.

The first year for the cadet was surprisingly dull. He arrived at the Academy prepared for the grueling physical training and his mental discipline from his music and martial arts background allowed him to focus on his studies where he excelled.

Always with a smile and upbeat attitude, Cadet Tian became a favorite at the academy. He spent much of his spare time helping those who had problems with the physical training and organized a [[ma:Mok%27bara|mok'bara]] club. This was noticed by the cadre and soon they tested his leadership abilities by making him a Cadet Squadron Leader. | ||
The years passed quickly for Meng. An exceptional cadet, Meng did have a few run ins with the Dean of Students for tardiness. Although not proven, Meng's taste for Aldebaran Whiskey and late nights with other attractive "attractions" in the San Francisco area might have been the cause.
