## Bio

### *Early life*

Veera was born to Myra Kael'Va and Surin Tal'Qiz aboard the Seer'Avin. Myra and Surin both possessed brilliant minds and were the pioneers in the field of robotics as well as aiding in the advancement of Nanite technology. Naturally, from an extremely young age, Veera's endless abundance of energy and curiosity were too much for most people to handle, save her parents. They wisely directed such energies to including her where they could in their work. Veera quickly established a natural tendency to the field of robotics. Her parents experienced surprise and shock to discover that at the age of seven years old, Veera was already proving capable of eventually outshining her parents in their respective field with her innovative ideas.

Unfortunately, tragedy would strike, as both Myra and Surin suffered an accident in their lab while experimenting with the Nanite tech, leading to Veera being left an orphan. This loss greatly impacted Veera's mental and emotional state causing her usual cheerful and exuberant state to deteriorate rapidly. She began to distance herself from all but her Aunt Evae. Taking the girl in, Evae was able to almost coax Veera back to her former exuberant self, however, the loss of her parents would forever leave an emotional scar on Veera. Evae continued where her parents left off in encouraging Veera to embrace her passions in robotics as a method to heal the wound left by the loss of her parents.

It seemed however, that Veera was destined for more loss when Evae passed away from an illness. Veera was put into communal care. The girl, however, found herself unable to socialize with anyone save two other children; instead became something of a troublemaker and an oddity amongst the other children in communal care. After a bulling incident one day involving her red stripes, considered a rarity amongst her kind, Veera would find a young Aris and Zy coming to her defense. Initially rebuffing their help, claiming she could have done the same, the girl eventually warmed up to the possibility of interacting with both of them; progressively counting them as her only friends and even family. Evae's death had served to reignite Veera's preference to distance herself from her people but also, due to her constant encouragement, to drive Veera to even greater levels of determination with robotics.

### *Rising Career*

Veera's obsession over her work, as well as tapping into an instinctual desire to have family she could always count on, led her to produce the greatest creation the Flotilla would ever see in the field of Robotics: Meyrozan to Synthetic Neural Interfacing. Transferring everything she'd learned, experienced and felt along with the endless information available to the Flotilla, Veera constructed a rudimentary bot with which to transfer this data. She would go further however, removing any restraint keeping the bot from becoming fully sentient. Such an act was unheard of, and it did not come without consequences.

As Veera activated the bot for the first time, calamity would strike. The surge of knowledge, the unshackled intelligence and the ability to think and feel just like any organic, left Veera's new creation confused and terrified. Unable to fully control itself at first, it would unintentionally activate it's mining laser, severing Veera's right arm. Even through the injury, Veera was able to calm the bot down as help arrived. The bot was deactivated temporarily while Veera was tended to and then questioned as to what she'd done. Those who held leadership positions amongst the Flotilla's Engineers were shocked to discover what she'd created, and most were seriously concerned over a synthetic gaining full sentience.

Her accomplishments paired with the strides her parents had made in the past eventually convinced the leadership of Engineering to support her in her future projects, albeit under heavy supervision at first; lest any accidents occurred. Veera quickly rose to the occasion, becoming the foremost expert in the Field of Robotics in short time. Her continued works eventually produced several more revolutionary creations which eventually gave way to advancements such as Security, Medical and construction bots, further improving efficiency of Flotilla activities.

### *New Family*

Even when it had involved Zy and Aris, Veera found herself incapable of confiding everything she'd wished in them. They'd been busy advancing in their respective careers and Veera felt that too much intrusion could tend to be a burden, though that didn't keep her from annoying them on far more than one occasion. Thus when her first bot, which came to be called Pibs, was created, Veera  found a companion unlike any other. Through his curiosity as well as being the only one who contained the memories Veera had, she found in him to be a truly invaluable companion.

He'd felt her pain, her loss, but his dawning realization of the value of just what gift she'd given him in his sentience, as well as his ever radiant outlook on his new life, served to coax Veera out of some of the social shell she'd placed herself within after the loss of her Aunt. Though Pibs held her memories, and thus would have expectedly been prone to her mannerisms, to Veera's shock, Pibs had adopted a totally different persona. He was always kind, putting Veera's needs before his own pursuits of knowledge. He understood her better than anyone and had never failed to encourage her to new heights and discoveries, or  comfort her with painful memories of the past when they became too much for her.

This support would eventually result in the creation of three more bots, each interfaced with the same level of knowledge and sentience as their synthetic brother, two of which that would serve as templates for her eventual mass creations. Pix would be the second of Veera's creations. Designed to be the ultimate security bot, as well as  boasting far reaching advanced combat capabilities in comparison to that of the standard security bots that lined the Flotilla.  Pix would have combat training software, that had been captured and reproduced from footage captured of Zy in action, allowing Pix to inspire a new line of security bots.

Zap's capability in construction, repairs, and the like, would serve as a sort of a Do-It-All Handyman bot. These functions would greatly aid in the production of a multitude of activities aboard the Flotilla. Tinks, however, to Veera's amusement, would serve as something of a synthetic oddity among Veera's creations. Inheriting her mother's boundless energy and disregard for rules, Veera found herself frequently in trouble for incidents she never incited thanks to Tinks. Nevertheless between her new creations, as well has her close friendship forged with Zy and Aris, they served to bring Veera back to what she once was and gave her a sense of peace she hadn't experienced  in a long time.

### *Personality*

Veera presents herself as an energetic individual. This however does come with some faults as she easily disregards or shrugs off rules and decorum. Speaking her mind and pulling practical jokes are a norm for one such as Veera which has more than not earned her the confusion and often disdain of those who do not personally know her.

Underneath this guise however, Veera is kind and considerate of those she cares about and won't hesitate to help them should they ask... and even times when she thinks she needs to regardless of a request or not. To those who know her the best, such as Pibs, Veera harbors a deep vulnerability after the losses she's suffered in her life. Only through her friends and synthetic family has she been able to overcome those obstacles yet each past event has left unmistakable scars on her persona.

Veera also, thanks to Aris and his absence, has come to possess a deep fascination with Humans and their culture. Particularly their slang, terminology, as well as their produced movies/shows interested her immensely, vividly shown in the unorthodox way she talks amongst her own kind. The size of humans however leaves the young woman to preferably keep physical distance from her newfound interests.
