History and Education

Family and Background

Aurik comes from a large family with 6 brothers and 1 sister. Two of his brothers are married - though he is not - and one has three children.

Education

Raised on Takara, Aurik attended the normal public schooling until it became apparent that he required the discipline of a military atmosphere. He was given a choice where he would attend and chose Starfleet Marines.

During Basic Training Aurik showed an aptitude for Ballistics Engineering as well as his high skill in Marksmanship. He was rained and maintains current CE levels, primarily in sniper and ballistics training.

Personal History

Aurik had a somewhat troubled youth, having to compete with several male siblings caused him to lash out in increasingly volatile ways until his family had no recourse other than pack him off to military training.

Pre-Starfleet History

Early years spent on Takara. Aurik had a reputation amongst his school fellows as a crack shot when hunting Takaran wildebeasts.

Starfleet History
