B. Background Summary
---------------------
Serah Riley is a charming, driven, and extremely kind young woman.
Vulnerable and sweet, she has an uncanny ability to disarm those around
her. Her outward grace and staunch determination, however, hide the pain
of a haunting loss.
Since childhood, Serah has felt the night sky stir a wanderlust within
her. Wishing to turn that yearning into a productive channel, she applied
to Starfleet Academy. Her first attempt was turned down. But before the
next round of applications she met a gentleman named Michael Taylor.
Falling hard in love she put aside her plans in order to attended the
local university with him. In her sophomore year, just weeks after
Michael had proposed marriage, he died tragically in a land car accident.
Serah mourned deeply. But with her love gone, she turned back to her
dream of becoming a Starfleet officer. This time she was accepted into
the Academy where she pursued the Communications track.
Serah has been gifted with an uncanny aptitude for linguistics. She
commands a passion to master as many as she can. Knowing that she will
be most useful studying the linguistics of the UFP's adversaries, she has
immersed herself in the both the language and history of the Klingons,
Romulans, Orions, Gorn, and Nausicaans.
Although Serah is an attractive young lady, she is currently too focused
on her career and duties to consider the regular advances. Deep down, she
feels she is not quite over the loss of Michael. But she always takes
time to be with friends. In her spare time, she practices her singing and
tennis. As a devout Christian, she attends worship services weekly
whenever she is in port and studies privately when she is not.
1st Mission
-----------
Serah Riley's first away mission proved horrifyingly traumatic. Agents
of the Orion Syndicate abducted her at a backroom conference on
Telani VII. While confined on a smuggling ship, she saw a fellow captive
about to be raped by a over a dozen Orion crewmen. At great risk to
herself, she lured in and incapacitated two of them with a pair of
poisoned hairpins. She then used the guards' weapons to stun the other
attackers.
Shortly after delivering her charge to safety, Serah was kidnapped a
second time by a rogue Section 31 agent named Captain Blake. The
agent first stabbed and then shot her with a modified phaser that
concealed a transporter beam that relocated her to a hidden shuttle.
Five days later Serah was mysteriously beamed back aboard the
LEXINGTON, her wounds almost healed and her memory of the stabbing
seemily erased. Serah was awarded the Silver Star for her actions on the
away mission.
2nd Mission
-----------
Serah's second mission proved no less harrowing than her first. While the
LEXINGTON ferried Romulan Ambassador Nanclus back to his homeworld,
Serah found herself the primary suspect in his apparant assassination.
Bizzarely, during a break in her interrogation, she was confronted by a
future version of herself and teleported to a group of time traveling
Vulcans.
The Vulcans told Serah that they could only send her back to just before
the assassination. They warned her that members of the senior staff may
have been possessed by an alien entity, so she could not trust anyone.
On her return, Serah hid the ambassador mere minutes before the attack
while making it look like he had been killed. She also set sabotage devices
so that when a cloaked Romulan warbird intercepted them, it would be
able to send a signal to disrupt the LEX's shields and beam the ambassador
to safety.
Unfortunately, the LEX's Vulcan chief engineer, LT Shaav, found Serah,
stalked her through the Jeffries Tubes, and eventually captured the
terrified ensign. In order to determine what had happened to Nanclus,
Shaav subjected Serah to a to a forced mind-meld. During the meld, Serah
relive several key life memories including her last days with Michael and her
traumas on Telani VII. This included her hitherto suppressed recollection
Blake's staged killing of her.
To Serah's relief and anger, Shaav turned out to have been recruited by
the known 31st Century time traveler LT Daniels. By the time of the meld,
Daniels had already approached Captain Rafe, ensured the sabotage devices
were removed and brought the involved parties to meet the hidden
ambassador.
Nanclus, on being confronted, unexpectedly took Serah hostage and
beamed away to the cloaked Romulan Warbird TERINAX. There Serah learned
that the Ambassador had never been in any danger. The "assassination"
had been a ruse to destabilize Federation-Romulan relations and the
mastermind of the scheme was a future version of Nanclus himself.
The future Nanclus and his ship came from a ruined Alpha Quadrant, overrun
by overwhelming enemy forces (presumably the Borg and Dominion). This
Nanclus hoped to steer the Empire into a war that would see Romulus
emerge strong enough to deal with the impending threats. Secretly, however,
Ambassador Nanclus did not agree with this plan now that its full breadth
had been made known to him. He was further revulsed by his Elder self's
insistence on killing Serah who had done so much to make their plans
succeed.

IX. NRPG Notes
====================================
Serah Riley is named for the Final Fantasy XIII character Serah Farron
and naturally bears a striking resemblance to that character. Serah's
surname was changed to "Riley" in honor of the United States Army
post that the author Brian Mansur was once stationed at and where his son
was born.
