Background: Karzin was born on Trill, a son of a trained diplomat and Ambassador, and an Ambassadorial aide. Skilled in the sciences, Karzin went to the University of Trill in the Capital City. Always looking to the stars, Karzin decided to submit his application for the Joining to the Symbiosis Commission. Graduating from this august body, he never expected to be Joined so young in life. However, an accident involving a radiation leak on a Trill Shuttle killed the host of the Ren symbiote and almost killed the symbiote. It was not an easy Joining for Ren and Karzin. They spent several weeks in the hospital, recuperating. It was after this that Karzin's life changed. He saw the World through a different set of eyes now, and decided to follow the dream of the previous host of the Ren symbiote, and join Starfleet. Karzin submitted his application to Starfleet Academy, and was the first Trill excepted for training on Earth. Although the Symbiosis Commission forbade him to do it, and his father and mother were upset he was going to join Starfleet, he left for Earth and hasn't looked back since. Since then his mother and father have sent his blessings and revealed their pride in what he did. As an Ambassador, Karzin's father appreciates all that he has done for Trill by being their unofficial ambassador to the culture and tradtitions of his people to the Galaxy and Starfleet. Karzin found Starfleet Academy difficult at first. Although his Academic Grades were the best in his class, he found that he didn't fit in. His classmates were clique-ish and they didn't appreciate his "arrogant" attitude. Karzin hadn't realised that he was being arrogant until he was confronted by some of his classmates who informed him with a small application of physical emphasis that he was, indeed, being arrogant. It was the eye opener he needed. Karzin realised that, because he had four lifetimes of experience to draw from, he seemed to others to be a "know it all" and "arrogant". By taking several psychology classes and participating with others more, he worked at eliminating this attitude from his repetoire. After that, he discovered a new world and made several fast friends. He discovered he had a skill for languages and was a natural pilot. With his Astrophysics background, he completed his Academy training in Astrogation, and was assigned his first Starship after graduation - Helmsman on the USS SOYEZ, a small workhorse of a starship that was past her prime. Excelling at his new duties, there was only one blemish on his record. At Beta Origin IV, the XO, CSCiO and four security officers beamed down into a First Contact situation. Something went wrong in the negotiations, and the Landing Party was attacked. Two officers were killed right at the beginning, with the others seriously wounded. The Captain decided to beam down to this hostile situation, and was about to leave his Helsman in command, when he discovered that the Helmsman had ignored the Captain's orders, and beamed down with a security team to rescue the Landing Party before the Captain could. Locating the team it was through the efforts of Karzin that they were rescued and returned to the ship, even though Karzin himself was seriously wonded. The Captain was furious and noted a reprimand for Ren in his log. The next day, when he had calmed down, he realised that Karzin had done this to protect the Captain and the crew, and issued him a Commendation for his bravery in the face of battle. Promoted and transferred to the new USS EXCALIBUR, he excelled at his post and received a new mission at the end of his tour of duty. A transfer to the USS INTREPID as her XO! C. Personality: Karzin Ren is an interesting combination of several personalities all rolled into one. He has four other lifetimes that he can draw on - their experience, their training, their lives, and use this for himself. This has made him a bit arrogant at times, especially when stressed, but his strength of will and his acknowledgement of his limitations usually can control these issues. Although formal with the junior ranks, he also has a very open and honest personalty which makes him likeable, most of the time. A talented xenolinguist, he sometimes curses in foreign tongues, just to let off some steam and has been known to get himself in trouble that way when someone actually understands him. He is determined, disciplined and objective, and can have conversations with anyone about anything, especially if it was a hobby, skill, or experience from his previous lives. This can sometimes be creepy, as most people could never understand how such a young man could be knowledgeable about things that happened in the past.
