His parents are a mated pair; his mother’s name is Krazi and his father’s name is Marn. They run a bookstore on Tellar.

He has a brother named Rawn (age 27) and a sister named Emerald (age 25), as well as a pet designer Cymric cat named Mercury.

His best friend is Telva Kaluga, a Ventaxian medical cadet he met at Starfleet Academy.

He has a coarse and rumbly voice and laughs loudly. He prefers to wear one-piece jumpsuits in muted or earth tones (gray, olive drab, tan, khaki, rust brown, or umber), but he has been known to wear bright colors on special occasions.

As a kid on Tellar, Skig used to stare up at the stars at night and wonder what was out there. This led to his hobby of astronomy. Eventually, he learned that there were a lot of worlds, a lot of species, and a lot of unexplored space out there! From the time he saw the comet through the telescope at Ssassarrano Observatory, he knew he wanted to go into space, knew that he WOULD go into space.

He’d always been interested in technical things, as well, so his stargazing hobby inevitably led him to Solvar University in Tellaryne City to study the astrophysical sciences. Unfortunately, he felt the basic courses didn’t adequately prepare him for that career in space. While he was considering other options, he and his university roommate, an off-worlder named Varn Esfandari, began working on a thesis concept: recursive hyper-particle induction. The process resulted in a slight increase in hyper-light communication ranges and resulted in them receiving the Merendevel Award in Science. That was when his professors suggested he apply to StarFleet Academy, and, to his astonishment, he was accepted. He found the training so fascinating that he spent 7 years in the Academy to get the technical skills he felt a career in space required.

His hobbies include mystery novels, the games of Kalevian montar, kadis-kot and Strategema (though he’s not very good at any of them), and jigsaw puzzles.

Personality: He’s usually easy-going but gets very annoyed when things don’t get done quickly enough to suit him. His sense of humor is rather average, but he hates stupid humor.

He has a phobia against dogs! But, he likes space, cats, starships, cats, outdoors, cats, raktajeno, cats, phasers, cats, Aldebaran whiskey and… cats! He dislikes temporal physics, synthehol, and people that think he’s an animal.

His pet peeve is arrogant or boastful Klingons because he’s convinced that those types of Klingons are ‘much ado about nothing’, that their boasting covers up insecurities and ineptitudes.

He once had Cyrian blue fever and turned blue all over!

He has one prejudice: non-cat people—never trust someone who doesn’t like cats!
