Starfleet Academy Graduate Ribbon

Ensign Taelon is an El-Aurian currently serving as a science officer aboard Starbase 118 Ops & her support ship, the USS Albion. He is a recent graduate of the Academy, with Starbase 118 being his first posting. He specializes in Xenobiology and Xenotechnology.

Appearance


  • Height: 6'8"
  • Hair: Brown
  • Eyes: Blue
  • Build: Slender
  • Gender: Male

Taelon is quite tall and lanky in build, and tends to carry himself slightly hunched and drawn in, as if in a subconscious attempt to make himself seem smaller. He has notably long legs and rather bony joints.

Personality


Taelon is generally a warm and genial sort - and notably self-effacing. Despite his age, he acts and feels rather less mature than his colleagues. A combination of an isolated, colonial upbringing and a lack of real world experience have left him knowledgeable on scientific fronts, but ultimately naive and untested. He is extremely aware of this - perhaps too aware, as his lack of confidence in his own abilities borders on crippling.

As a scientist he is skilled and dedicated to his work, often working extremely long hours and dedicating himself wholly to a problem until he is satisfied with his results. He has trouble sleeping on the best nights and will often forgo it entirely if there's work to be done. Since being introduced to it by the human colonists on Cestus III, Taelon has slowly developed something of an addiction to coffee.

Family


Mother - Azera

Age: 729 & Born: 166410.22
A scientist of considerable merit, she studied and designed starships and transports, as well as studying and adapting the technology of other alien races when they were discovered. She was 601 when the Borg arrived at her homeworld and utterly destroyed it, leaving her little choice but to flee with the remnants of her race. She fled with her mate, Jakarn, and those of their relatives that could be found in time. But the ruin of her homeworld drove her to seek solitude. She arrived on Cestus III in 2270, not long after the Gorn had destroyed the original colony. Her presence became known to the Colonists some 30 years later, when they found her home. She had her sole child, Taelon, some decades after.

To her son she was not unkind, though as he grew their personalities and ethical stances diverged sharply. Taelon left Cestus after one such disagreement turned violent. While they’ve made some effort to reconcile in the years since he left, they’ve yet to truly address - much less resolve - their differences.

Father - Jakarn

Age: 503 & Born: 188006.11
An author and writer of travel literature, Jakarn is quite the opposite of his wife. He publishes holonovels under several pseudonyms, many of them based off people or places he's been; he's also known for his erotic works, something he's quite proud of. In person Jakarn is boisterous, charming, fun-loving, and quite hedonistic. He is a man who has embraced the beautiful things in life, and finds no shame in pleasure.

Jakarn rarely talks about what he left behind on El-Auria. While Azera was able to find some of her relatives, he could find none. Jakarn has replaced that loss with a network of friends, lovers, and enemies; he has sired several children, all of whom he has acknowledged and met. But as he’s the sort who likes to travel, and he rarely stays in one place for long.

Others
Taelon's extended family is large and varied; his mother has a surviving sister, along with a brother-in-law and several nieces and nephews. Taelon is the youngest pure El-Aurian in his family, and due to his mother's preference for solitude, he last saw his aunt a decade ago and has never met most of his extended family in person.

Relationships


As Taelon is only a recent arrival, he does not have any notable relationships as of yet.

Timeline


2358 Born on the Federation colony of Cestus III.
2363 Began attending the colony’s school alongside human children his age.
2365 Met his father for the first time. The two maintain a correspondence, albeit an infrequent one.
2368 Began to be tutored by his mother with the expectation he would assist her with her research. Through her he began to learn xenobiology and xenotech, though he failed to grasp the concepts as quickly as she’d hoped.
2376 Graduated from the standard colony school.
2376 - 2388 Stayed on Cestus III as his mother’s assistant, continuing his training in xenotech and xenobiological procedures.
2388 After a disagreement with his mother turned violent, Taelon chose to leave Cestus III and attend Starfleet Academy despite her protests.
2388 - 2393 Starfleet Academy years; took an extra year at the Academy to complete a Minor in Xenolinguistics.
2393 Graduated from the Academy & departed for Starbase 118, joining the station’s crew after his cadet cruise.

Academy History

Vulcan, Klingonese, and Borg Alphanumeric Code.
Received accolades for his coursework in Nanotechnology and Borg Alphanumeric Code.
Taelon’s overall academic performance was typical. Notably, he failed and had to retake some courses, including his Klingon linguistic courses and Stellar Cartography. His performance in his robotics and exotech courses gained him note for being capable of adapting and working with little-known technology and computer systems.
