As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. His graduation was a brief family reunion with his mother and father, along with an MD at age 23. Post-graduation, his mother left yet again for more diplomatic work. Captain Skyfire remained on Romulus until the planet was destroyed. | As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession.

Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring. | Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine.

Now an orphan, on his second posting since exiting the academy, he is trying to come out of his shell and make some friends. | Now an orphan, on his second posting since exiting the academy, he is trying to come out of his shell and make some friends. The fact he is in Starfleet now is almost ironic, given how much he hates Starfleet Command for robbing him of his mother's time. She died while on a Starfleet assignment, so he feels conflicted between his addiction to work in medicine and his duty to the uniform. | ||
