| Personal History | Baris is blunt, with little patience for small talk or social grace. His parents ran a small freighter ship delivering goods or people to virtually any destination. Piracy and bootlegging were terms that others used. It was all cargo to them. Like most Boslics, family structure was the primary allegiance, and they owned only what they could buy and sell. Life aboard the freighter was a constant challenge of moving cargo, making repairs, and managing financial records. Baris worked well in the minutiae of logs and non-technical repairs. He gained some skill as a pilot, too. They often traveled on the fringe of secure space, putting them in contact with (and in danger from) pirates, opportunists, and syndicates. They had to be fast. They also had to be prepared to fight, and Baris accepted that. Hand-to-hand was his specialty but he was better than average with a phaser, too. When Baris was 21 years old, the Demir family spent several days negotiating contracts with two other Boslic families. At the end, marriage contracts were arranged among them and several Boslics swapped places between ships. Baris was sent to be with his betrothed, Tilik Nosin. They courted seriously and made a strong connection but it wasn't intimate. They they did not suit each other beyond friends. Baris worked for several months to cobble together a deal to pay off the Nosin family, leave Tilik, and join an Orion vessel. Several months later the Orion captain sent him with three others on a mission. Their shuttle was caught in an ion storm that caused some power cells to explode, and killed two of the crew. Baris and another other were rescued by a Starfleet vessel. He was taken to a nearby Starbase to recover. Seeing members of Starfleet work around him gave Baris a new sense of what he wanted. He liked rules and regulations. They didn't have to be absolute to provide a framework for him to work in. Starfleet promised him training, opportunity, and a group of people that would accept him. The Academy did, when he had turned 22. Boslics were rare in Starfleet, and Baris felt more and more isolated and misunderstood, and he retreated slowly behind walls. To separate himself from other, more "Starfleet" species. He focused on joining security, giving him the chance to take out some of his frustrations in physical exertion. His first assignment was the USS Centaur as a security officer. Some anger problems prompted the captain to move him into other assignments. He found being the quartermaster suited him, and gave a place for his record-keeping skills. The captain gave him plenty of leeway--most of the complaints were about his nature and not his ability. Still, it took Baris nearly four years to reach lieutenant junior-grade and he joined the USS Firebird. |
