Ro Bren

Background
Bren is the youngest brother of Ro Laren, a Bajoran woman infamous in Starfleet. Laren had a very colored history in Starfleet, always getting into trouble and at one point even being imprisoned. She briefly redeemed herself with the help of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise-D crew, before abandoning Starfleet to join the Maquis. Her problems may have been in part due to the fact that at 7 years of age she was forced to watch Cardassians torture and kill her own father during the occupation of Bajor.

Bren did not suffer the same horrible experience, as he was still in their mother's womb at the time. Bren was born after his father was murdered, and only knew about his father through stories his family told him. Like the rest of his family, Bren grew up in a resettlement camp on Bajor, while the Cardassians polluted, plundered, and otherwise abused his homeworld. Like his sister and the vast majority of Bajorans, Bren grew up with a hatred of Cardassians. Unlike his sister, however, Bren is very strong in his spiritual beliefs and was, at one point in his childhood, deemed destined to follow in his uncle's footsteps, and become a Bajoran Vedek. He changed his mind though, and followed his sister into Starfleet, being accepted to the Academy at the age of 22.

He had many misadventures while at the Academy, and was one of the founding members of Blackstar Squad, the notorious adversaries of the famous Red Squad. Upon graduation from the Academy, the Dominion War was in progress and Bren was sent back to Bajor, undercover to keep the integrity of the flow of information to Starfleet. Because of the nature of the assignment, all information about his time on Bajor during the war is Classified. After the war was over, Bren was reassigned to Project Starlight, as was the rest of Blackstar Squad.

Personality and Appearance
Ro Bren is about 180 cm and a physically fit 84 kg. His hair is a dark brown color, and his eyes are a washed out shade of blue. He also wears the traditional Bajoran earring on his right ear. He is outwardly a very fun loving person, but almost volatile when it comes to a fight. Away from a conflict, armed or unarmed, Bren thinks of himself as a ladies' man, and as a mover and a shaker. His personal credo is "It's not what you know, it's who you know." He is usually on a natural high, and if he is ever not upbeat, you know that something is wrong. Bren very much wears his emotions on his sleeve.
