| Personal History | Arin's birth was an accident. Her mother was involved in a plot to steal a starship, where her father was the Captain. The attempt ultimately failed but her Mother Jayin became pregnant. The mother lost custody in a legal dispute and her father raised her in his home town in Ireland. Her stepmother Colleen was the one that taught her many of the Irish traditions. After that she lead a fairly normal life. Being different than most humans, Arin did have to deal with more than her fair share of bullying and insults. This lead to her being involved at an early age in the fighting disciplines. She showed an aptitude for mechanical things and spent many years in shops, helping fix old machines and even a short apprenticeship in aircraft mechanics and restoration. She and Michael met at the university where she was studying for her degree in Mechanical Engineering. When she became pregnant at 19 he kept up her studies until Lisa was born. Soon they both realized their marriage was a mistake. They were divorced two years later. At 23 she was accepted into Starfleet as a crewman and worked her way up the enlisted ranks. At 27 she worked on finishing her degree as Michael had sued for sole custody and won. She threw herself into her degree, earning her masters in starship propulsion and earning a commission into Starfleet. |
