Backstory

Tufezr was born on Trillius Prime, not the homeworld of his species, but a good home for one nevertheless. Of the thousand or so Trill applicants, Tufezr was chosen to take on a Symbiont due to his prodigious skill in the understanding of starship mechanics, having been fascinated with it from birth. He graduated from the Trill Sciences Ministry at age 23 with a degree in Engineering and a degree in Warp Physics with a minor in Starship Flight. After six months of waiting and applying, Tufezr was chosen to be given a symbiont whose past experiences complimented and increased his present knowledge, his strong mind in the sciences making him a near perfect candidate. His symbiont had lived in a record sixteen other hosts, making it a wise and experienced personality, but also overwhelmingly full of previous emotions and memories. The zhian'tara was required almost immediately after Joining, and while it was difficult to track down the previous hosts so soon, the problem of overwhelming Tufezr was resolved, and his mind was thankfully strong enough to prevent him from being overwhelmed. He joined Starfleet Academy a few years after his Joining, at age 25, because his Symbiont suggested that it would present many good opportunities to learn.

I have finally arrived on my first assignment as an Officer in Starfleet, and am both anxious and excited to experience this new adventure. In my symbiont's many memories, only one previous host ever joined Starfleet, strangely, and it seemed to be a positive although brief experience. The host, named Ayx Nilrud, was an Engineer like myself, although not a Starfleet Officer, and enjoyed many enriching learning opportunities although was killed in an unfortunate Warp Core accident. Nevertheless, I am unafraid of the dangers, just of the lack of other members of my species. This new posting lacks any other Trill, joined or unjoined, and I wonder what the crew's opinion of me will be, as I have heard that the joining tends to unnerve some other species. I plan to put my right foot forward, as the saying goes, and embrace this challenge of a new life for myself and my symbiont head-on, with bravery hopefully unwavering.

Welcome to Aurora Fleet, Tufezr!

After reading your application, I'm delighted to be able to offer you the position of Engineering Officer on board the USS Phoenix with the starting rank of Ensign.

The Phoenix's current mission is coming to an end, but feel free to jump in on the holodeck and meet your crewmates until the next one opens!

Thanks Rachel, glad to be here
