## Biography

### Early Life: Life as a Farmhand

Fabio was born on the planet Cephor III, a boreal world situated at the inner northeastern edge of the Outer Expanse. Raised in a town under the control of the Southeast Duchy, Fabio grew up in an orphanage that also took care of domesticated farm animals, and so he grew up with the experience of farming and animal-handling. Fabio was born mute, and since Cassiopeian Sign Language (CSL) was not widely known in the town he was raised in, he was unable to communicate efficiently with most others.

### Meeting Gamma

At some point in his childhood, a traveling researcher named Gamma Pineda came to Fabio's hometown and became acquainted with the orphanage. Miss Pineda, having been a highly academic and learned woman, knew CSL and was able to teach Fabio how to speak using the language, thus opening up an effective channel for communication between the two. Fabio and Gamma quickly bonded, with Fabio grateful to be able to connect with someone who respected him and treated him with kindness, yet was also able to patiently communicate with him. Gamma decided to adopt Fabio as her own son, and the two ventured out beyond the confines of the Southeast Duchy town for parts unknown.

### Coming to Crash Coast

After traveling and growing closer as family for quite some time, Fabio and his mother reached the southwestern coast of Cephor III's supercontinent. In need of supplies, the two of them stumbled upon a small settlement known as Crash Coast, which served as a home for less than a dozen people. The people of Crash Coast were generous enough to allow them to stay for some time to recuperate. During their short stay in town, Fabio and Gamma took a liking to Crash Coast and decided to settle down within the colony so that they could contribute to the life of the community.

## Personality and Traits

Although rather reserved, Fabio was viewed by many as a genuinely kind and friendly person. He rarely got into fights or conflicts with others and brightened the moods of the people around him. He had a deep sense of compassion and empathy for others, and he was never one to judge someone by appearances alone. Even though he could not communicate verbally through words, he was still able to show gestures of warmth and sympathy to those he knew and loved. Fabio was a gentle and introverted young man who was open to cooperating with others for the good of his community. He was never too ambitious, finding himself rather content with most things in life.

Fabio was also an extremely thoughtful person. Thanks to his mother, he grew up learning many different things about the world, and was rather well-read and observant throughout his life. He took caution in areas where others may have not, and so he was particularly keen on looking out for others in case of danger.
