[b][color=orange]Bio:[/color][/b]
[indent] Ayna always loved the idea of becoming a Starfleet officer. Exploring galaxies, uncovering unknown planets, and the best of the all, the universe itself always appealed to her. She knew she wanted to become a Starfleet officer as soon as she was born, because her father was an Starfleet captain himself. Her father, Terrence Nyx, was the captain of an Sovereign class, Imperial sub-class, known as the U.S.S. Paragon-B.

Ayna's father met his wife, Joanna Rane, when he was in Starfleet Academy. She was just a normal woman, but and they both had different tastes, she wasn't interested in the idea of space exploration, meanwhile Ayna's father loved the idea of discovery. Somehow they were still attracted to each other, and got married before Terrence went off to become a first officer aboard the U.S.S. Trailblazer, and a few months later once Terrence was able to come home, they both knew they wanted children.

And that's how Ayna, and her younger brother, Nathan was born. Just like their parents, Ayna and Nathan had different ideas of what they wanted in life. Ayna felt the need to explore just like her father, and Nathan had just wanted a normal life on Earth. Unlike most siblings when they interact, Ayna and Nathan got along pretty easily. They loved to wrestle, but since Ayna was bigger, she'd always win the play-fight. Her father was soon promoted to Captain of the U.S.S. Paragon, NX-96889-B. The Paragon, hence the NX, was a experimental prototype ship for the Paragon class. It was suppose to be the next advanced starship Starfleet, made to multi-task deep exploration, advanced tactical abilities, and the abilities of a science vessel all at once.

Ayna realized right then and there, when she learned her father was a captain of a ship. That she was going to be serious about her dream, to become an Starfleet officer.

And that's when she soon applied for Starfleet Academy after high school, and worked as hard as she could. Learning many things from her father and the adventures he would tell her about, this helped her learn more and ace tests better than she thought, she soon realized she specialized in being a Tactical Starfleet officer, unlike her father, who was originally a Science officer before he became a Captain.

Ayna did decently in ground Holodeck battle encounters, but she was way in better in starship tactics. When she was the 'captain' in starship battle encounter simulations, she would take out the opposing forces, and the times where her ship was going down, she managed to take the enemy down with her. She learned about this in one simulation where three Bird of Preys attacked her in the Holodeck.

Her father approved of her looking forward to becoming a Starfleet officer, but her mother despised the idea of it. Not wanting that type of life of her, this caused Ayna to become a little bit rebellious against her mother and what she wanted for her.

And soon enough, her father gave her the idea of applying for A.T.T., thinking that she was up for it. Of course her mother was not happy with this, but accepted it since she saw the excitement in Ayna's eyes. And she did apply for it. 

Master Chief Rosk placed her in A.T.T. Training Squadron 6, the "Jolly Rogers", or more professionally called the Black Squadron. The Squadron was filled with, or at least Ayna thought, elite cadets, and she wasn't sure if she fitted into the Squadron at all with the others. And then they went into the Commandant's Cup.

She was completely nervous for the Commandant's Cup, and thought she would cause the Squadron to fail completely. However she and the rest of Squadron 6 had beaten every other Squadron, including Admiral Tuvok's AND Chief Mattox's Squadrons. She couldn't help but mouth off to her father and mother about her Squadron's accomplishments.

And apparently they were ready for an actual mission, in the U.S.S. Challenger, which Ayna practically drooled over it's capabilities even though it was such a small ship compared to Cruisers and Science Vessels. They were going to investigate pirate activity.

Once they fought the pirates, Ayna thought they had the situation in control. Until a loud explosion filled her with fear. She suddenly felt herself get thrown out of her seat, and felt blood trickle down the side of her head, and her shoulder felt like it was burning from the pain.

They were able to beat the many pirates that attacked them. But not without casualties, and many injured cadets. She wasn't prepared for something this tragic to happen so quick, and she started rethinking her choices of joining Starfleet. She didn't know the dead cadet that well, but she could only feel so horrible inside knowing the impact on that cadet's family, and on the cadets that were friends with the cadet. Not to mention, a Supervising Officer died in the process as well. Two casualties; so quickly, once Ayna was patched up and went back home, she cried into her mother's arms. But she had decided to stay in Starfleet, she had told herself things like that could happen, right?

Most of the Squadron had graduated, turning into a skeleton of a team. The original Cadet Captain and Cadet First Officer were some of the cadets who graduated, and Ayna was promoted to Cadet First Officer.[/indent]
