Tarrik Tarkin: Difference between revisions

* '''2375''' - Tarrik Nol'Gylar is born to Eluana Gylar and Thorus Noldo on Tutatuband Station. His parents leave to Rodul on a private shuttle shortly after his birth, intending to raise him there. They face mechanical difficulties with the life support system and are forced to sacrifice themselves for Tarrik, unable to make the journey to Rodul with only enough life support to send the infant back alone. He's placed in the care of the Tarkin family, isolated from other Rodulan to be raised entirely around Ferengi in their customs and culture instead of his own. His parents bodies are never recovered, lost to the abyss

* '''2377''' - Ferengi company Sinclar Solutions is sued for faulty life support modules including the model used in Eluana and Thorus's shuttle. They pay a small fine. Tarrik's new family resolves not to tell him about this part of the story believing a simpler story will be easier for a child to process and to shelter him from feeling resentment at a corporation much more powerful than him or his family. His favorite toy is a miniature Sovereign Class Explorer

* '''2382''' - Tarrik encounters a group of children near his age aboard the station that are not Ferengi. The playgroup accepts him as one of its own. They tend to idolize the Federation in their pretend exploits, finding representation in the UFP for their diverse friend group. Tarrik continues to play and form relationships primarily with other Ferengi, fully immersed in their culture unlike the other children from this group with parents and family more like themselves

* '''2383''' - Tarrik and Prax begin playing chess together regularly as a way to help Tarrik feel more connected to his mother. Zulg joins them, Frax attends a few sessions and is skilled but disinterested and stops attending. Lelphi expresses that they identify as non-binary and are supported by their family, changing their name to Lefi
