[color=ff9966][U]Race [/U][/color] Rigelian [hider=(Zami)] which are Vulcanoids related to the Romulan, Vulcan and closest to the Rigelians

They have more pronounced ears than other Vulcanoids which grants them better hearing even into the high and low end bands

Tylyr culture is said to be made up of those that broke away from Vulcan with the Romulans during the founding of Kolinahr culture the Zami following the Rigelians to the system they share with the Orions

The Tylyr people decided to keep the colony ships they could and remain in space so that they could explore farther and find perhaps an even better home for their people and over the centuries and distances travelled become a people of space.[/hider]

[color=ff9966][U]Bio [/U][/color] Reva is a member of the Zami people of Rigel called the Tylyr (Star People) and are a branch of the Rigelian people that spend their entire lives in space. It is for this reason that Reva and other Tylyr suffer a societal type of Wanderlust that demands they keep moving. Her clan found it’s way into the Federation merchant marine back in the days of Tiberius Kirk and have proven themselves a people who cared especially for Starships taking it to an almost spiritual level saying that they can hear the universe singing in the harmonics of a warp core. Whether they can or can’t hear the universe in the engines the Tylyr are sought after crew aboard any starship.

To Reva space is the normal environment, a Starship her home and Engineering a temple. This translates to her seeing herself as a neophyte priestess whose duty is to perform any task those of higher skills and rank set her to. She is of course aware that many don’t share her point of view having been raised on a Federation Merchant Marine ship. (Think Boomers) 

Reva’s childhood was spent playing games in an environment where gravity was a suggestion in engineering and your life measured in Light years traveled, highest warp and there was no Up or Down.  It was the life her people had lead since the times of memory and why she could sense things about a starship few noticed and dreamed of the day she would be an engineer but on her naming day (12 year old becomes an adult gets face tattoos) the Elders told her she was of the bird people; the Pilots and Navigators of the Tylyr. It frankly stunned her till she went to the Pilots and received their testing only to receive another surprise; they told her that her path was elsewhere because of her energy and aggression (Reva was/is very competitive); she was told that few of her people ever follow her path which lay towards the Birds of War which they looked at Starfleet as being for the Federation.

So after achieving entry into the merchant mates program at 16 then graduating at 18 reaching the rank of 1st class Merchants Mate and shipped out on a 2 year cruise which she returned as a Petty officer 2nd class which she used as a lever to take the Noncoms test for entry in Star Fleet; she aced the engineering section and scored above average in all other areas and eligible to take the OCS because of it and get a wild card appointment to the Academy.
