Attributes/Talents:
An easy going person. Tarpan always made it an effort to be a likable
guy. Although well educated and very creative, he never saw himself
above or better than anyone. And unlike his father, he was never
big on conflicts or fighting. Trained in several forms combat, Tarpan
prefers not
to have to resort to physical assertion.
In fact, he's more like his mother. A natural toward the sciences,
he's always been rather inquisitive.
Personal History:
Long before he was
born, his mother along with her first husband, Orlando Myers, a professor
of Xeno-archeology and their son, Ian, who was only five at the time, left
on board an exploration ship named the Queen City Jazz. They left
the Alpha Quadrant in hopes of finding more clues to the secrets
of an ancient alien technology.
About a year later of searching deep within the Gamma Quadrant, the QCJ located a small moon with M-class properties orbiting a larger ringed planet. They later determined this to be Tirol, the homeworld of the once great empire that ruled half the galaxy eons ago. Upon entering the system, the ship triggered what apparently was a defense system, left long ago, from the surface of the larger mother planet. Forced to crash land on the surface of the moon, they were greeted with open arms of the local Tirolian life. Unable to escape the planetary defense system, the crew of the QCJ took the opportunity to study the history of this once highly influential Tirolian society.
Unfortunately, human physiology was unapt to handle some of the more contagious diseases which the Tirolians had better immunities for. And several years later Nova's husband fell victim to one of the more lethal viruses on the planet. Stranded and now widowed, she decided she would have to adapt to the hardship that is life on Tirol. Nova later fell in love with a Tirolian military specialist and eventually gave birth to another son at the age of thirty-seven, Tarpan Myers.
Shantov was an influential member of the leading military power on the small moon. Though his child was to be the first of its kind, he would ensure that Tarpan would receive only the best of care. He was also a strong believer in knowing of one's roots and so he encouraged Nova to teach their son about Earth's traditions. And so, Tarpan would grow up learning about both his cultural heritages, Human and Tirolian.
It would not be until the Bajorian Occupation ended and the discovery of the worm hole to the Gamma Quadrant that the whereabouts of the Queen City Jazz and her crew were to be known. A Vulcan ship on a survey mission of its own in the Gamma Quadrant would stumble upon several of the clues the QCJ left behind during its journey. Out of range of the planetary defense system, yet still capable of communicating, the Vulcans quickly disabled the weapon system and rescue the survivors.
Reluctant to leave at first because of having spent seventeen years of his life on Tirol, it would be his father that persuaded him to go and experience the true richness of his human roots. He would always be able to return back to Tirol someday again. And Tarpan swore he would.
Two years later,
Tarpan enrolled in Starfleet Academy in hopes of experiencing the most
of what humanity had to offer. When growing up, he was the primary
caregiver of his family because of his inherited immunities. It had
a profound influence on his decision to study the science of medicine.
Now pretty much fresh out of the Academy, Tarpan finds himself at the beginning
of what will no doubt be the adventure of his lifetime.
