Character Background
| Overview & History | M'Raw is the youngest of four children, born to a doctor and an author on Cait. Growing up, he found that there were many fascinating and beautiful things in nature. He often could be found out in a heavily forested region near his home, exploring some crevice or sitting in a tree, gazing at the wonders about him or gazing up at the stars. By the time he was 7, he knew he wanted to join Starfleet. This came as little surprise to those who knew him; some felt that he already had his head in the clouds. He spent the next few years working hard in school, knowing that not just anyone could get into Starfleet. He also studied a style of Caitian martial art known as tri'ala. At age 18, M'Raw applied for Starfleet Academy. He didn't do spectacularly well on the entrance exam, but he didn't do too poorly, either, and as such was granted admission to the Academy. He found it wasn't too difficult to ease into the daily routine there. His roommate during his time there was a Betazoid cadet, Hazan Eclain. Hazan was a member of the Sixth House of Betazed. The two roommates soon became fast friends. M'Raw decided to opt for the security and tactical track, with operations management as his minor. During his Academy years, he wasn't one who overly tried to seek out attention; however, he still found himself among many groups of fellow cadets during those times that he wasn't in class, studying, or asleep. He had a rather uneventful time there, with the exception of the time it was learned that he was part of a small group of cadets who played a practical joke on one of the Vulcan science instructors by stimulating the plants in his office to grow much faster than normal, and filling the office with shoots, vines, branches, etc. For his cadet cruise his senior year, he was posted on the California-Class USS Sacramento. His service didn't go unnoticed by the security/tactical chief, who managed to talk the Gallantry's captain into getting M'Raw assigned to the ship upon graduation. During that time, he received a commendation for helping solve a murder (a delegate they'd taken to Pacifica for a conference was killed; M'Raw, looking over the shoulder of the security/tactical chief reviewing images from the conference one evening in the ship's lounge, noticed that someone had left right around the time of the murder and had come back wearing a different tie; the original tie was found in the man's quarters, covered in the victim's blood). During that time, the chief security/tactical officer pushed M'Raw to continuously improve and grow as an officer. As a result, M'Raw continued to take on more leadership positions within the security department, and even passed the bridge officer's test, which netted him a promotion to lieutenant junior grade, three years after graduating from the Academy. About that same time, the assistant security/tactical chief became the security/tactical chief on the Akira-Class USS Gallantry, and brought along M'Raw to be the new assistant security/tactical chief. He served there for another 3 years before the ship was put in for a refit and much of the crew reassigned. M'Raw found himself back at Starfleet Academy, this time as an instructor in the security department, where he found himself posted for the next 2 years before being reassigned to the Galaxy-Class USS Carina, this time as security/tactical chief with the rank of lieutenant. |
