Jorus Cogud: Difference between revisions

Jorus Cogud was born on a Ferengi smuggling vessel while his Father and Uncle were "Working" for a short while, his father, uncle and mother had to leave on short notice due to a disagreement with some unhappy customers. Jorus' father Neron was an accomplished merchent and his mother used to be a teacher before she married Neron. Jorus' uncle was a different story, Darzen Cogud was a conman, but despite his criminal dealings, Neron felt a duty towards his family, over the law. The Ferengi captian, Zug, was a good "friend" of Darzen and allowed them safe passage until their customers had accepted that there was no guarantee.

Jorus spent the first year of his life aboard the vessel, still keeping in contact with Zug to this day, after a year on the run Neron and Darzen decided it would be safe to return to Trill. For three years Trill was Jorus' home he lived happily with his mother and father, enjoying all the thrills of a young child but on his first day of school his father was on the run again. He had unknowingly sold the Orion Syndicate a faulty computer core for their ship, and the Orions wanted their money back, plus "interest." Neron quickly contacted Darzen to pick them up from Trill to help them escape. Darzen "came to the rescue" and they were able to escape Trill without detection from the Orions. Darzen again contacted the Ferengi Zug and asked for refuge on his ship. Zug reluctantly agreed and the family moved onto the Ferengi Vessel.

Jorus grew up on the Ferengi ship, his uncle became his mentor teaching him the tricks of being a conman, some of the Ferengi's on board taught Jorus how to read using the rules of acquisition and his father taught him maths, science etc. When Jorus was eight his mother gave birth to Jorus' younger brother Senon, who became a friend to Jorus. Jorus taught Senon the things his uncle had taught him. Jorus lived on the Ferengi ship until he was 14, that's when his family found out that the Orion's hunting his father had been arrested so they could return to Trill, however the family had grown a custom to living on a ship so his father bought a small ship big enough to live in for the family. Darzen left to continue his work and Jorus lived with his family until he was eighteen. On board the ship Jorus learnt the ins and outs of piloting the ship, he also gained an interest in Starfleet. When Jorus was seventeen he told his father what he wanted to do with his life, and his father unwillingly agreed. Jorus started studying everything he would need to get into the academy. When he was eighteen he was accepted into the academy.
