**Wyl'Lyl vas Ulnay** is a marine in the Migrant Fleet and the operative in the Council Recovery Corps.

## Biography

Wyl’Lyl was born on the *Taraka* a military ship in the Migrant Heavy Fleet on Jan 7th, 2164. His father Gaen'Lyl vas Taraka and mother Maho'Lyl vas Taraka were esteemed marines in the Migrant Fleet, tasked often with high-profile tasks like specialized force against pirates attacks. Even his mother was called back to mission as soon as she recovered from birth to repel them.

This meant that their child grew up in the ship’s nursery, and while this helped Wyl to make many friends quickly, he also missed his parents dearly. In the nursery, he grew attached to Lula'Hillo vas Taraka the ship’s doctor that stepped up as a nanny. Wyl used to be a troublemaker and got easily upset when he didn’t get attention. Lula often used to play music on her omnitool to calm his tantrums down. As he grew older he began making friends, and could, while still in the bubble, cheer people up with his friendly personality.

His goofy and carefree attitude helped in his attempts to gain the approval of others, happy to help others out. The absence of his parents caused by their busy schedule of missions made Wyl need to be approved by his friends to grow. During this time he was used by most of those he called friends, it was only when he get close to the Heel'Joll nar Taraka, son of the ship’s captain, that Wyl started standing up for himself and was able to gain more confidence. As time passed he grew out of it completely, only keeping his generous trait.

Around the time he got his first suit, thanks to the fleet passing through safer areas of the galaxy, his parents started being more present. Wyl soon began training under his father, while his mother helped with his education. Maho agreed with her husband to the importance of preparing her son for the dangerous galaxy and Gaen was very strict on his son's education.

The Lyl family had been marines for centuries, and Gean just as his ancestors wanted his son to be one. There was an unspoken rule for his family to produce valuable marines and most of them became high-ranking soldiers as his grandad Vam'Lyl vas Seraka, a Capitan that protected the fleet, he had done the ultimate sacrifice to repel a dangerous pirate attack on one of the liveships of the fleet.

Maho wholeheartedly comforted Wyl, as she helped him carry the burden of the high pressure and for a while, he was happy to make his parents proud. For a few years, while pursuing his studies on basic knowledge Wyl was also trained at home by his father, he spent pursuing his other passion he discovered by chance while watching a quarian performance on his ship: music. He grew interested in it and built the Strya. His newly found interest was looked down upon by his father but their relationship reached a breakpoint when at 15 his mother died of an airborne virus she contracted during a mission planetside, a suit rupture left her no chance of survival.

The loss caused his father to become even more strict and short-tempered. Under constant stress and grief, Wyl came closer to music in hope to distract himself, publishing a few songs and his instrument he had gained a moderate amount of followers on spacebook. In the mix, a secret admirer stood out as this stranger comforted and pushed him forward. Wyl then focused on learning to compose by himself as his relationship with Gaen was in shambles, often arguing about his career and their legacy as marines. His father's critics only made him sink deeper in his melodies. At 18 he still could not face his father without starting an argument, and when he not much later died in a mission Wyl struggled for a few years unable to start his pilgrimage.

Only thanks to the presence and support of Heel was Wyl able to pick himself up. In the following years, it became a habit for him to go to the shooting range and caught in the meantime the eye of  Ruul'Taran vas Taraka, a retired soldier. Ruul'Taran took Wyl under his care, teaching him the ways of the quarian marines and what it took to be a leader. As time passed Ruul took on a fatherly role and encouraged him to follow in his family's footsteps to become a marine.

In 2185 a few weeks after his birthday at 21 Wyl and Heel began their Pilgrimage at the same time, making way to find useful gifts to return home with. Wyl decided to take advantage of the numerous now allied stations owned by the Terminus Confederacy to find something worthwhile. As the *Konesh*, a quarian ship tasked with sending the pilgrims on their way, left Wyl at the \*Century Station\* in the Hawking Eta Cluster, Wyl said his goodbyes for the first time to Heel that confessed, before leaving: his love for him and the secret account he had on spacebook to support his music.

Shocked at the revelation, Wyl promised to keep in touch with each other and to answer his feelings once the pilgrimage was over. A month later the pilgrims that decided to stay on the station had fully adjusted themselves, Wyl had been hired by the station taking on various tasks and roles. He was tasked with escorting the techies while they went strip-mining for resources or scouting the planets in the system. A shuttle would pick them up with enough resources to set up camp and take their time planetside. As time passed on the station Wyl became close with Qintor Peyak, an old krogan who oversaw the operations of the station. It wasn’t rare to see the two of them have long conversations late at night. The krogan took a liking to Wyl as he often shared his wisdom with him. Qintor taught him to be a leader and eventually gave him the lead of the escorting team.

Wyl upheld his promise and once the awkwardness settled he kept in touch with Heel regularly, it was thanks to his friend that he started reading novels. It was simple to do and the quiet nights on the station had a special atmosphere as Wyl came to know of the worlds hidden in the pages. He even grew so interested in one that he had set his omnitool to download the latest chapter as soon as it was available.

As the months passed by at the station, Wyl worked hard to repay Qintor for his help. Training to be a better marine was his only objective when in July 2186 Wyl, led a small detail of quarians to escort a group of batarian researchers on the surface of Canctra, a planet that presented some deposits of cobalt. Century station warned them about a turian cruiser known to have dropped out of the mass relay in the system to discharge. The station soon engaged in combat and requested backup to the Terminus Confederacy. Once clear of danger Wyl returned to the station that had been severely damaged during the battle, but just a few days later the turians were back with just enough to take the station for themselves.

The assault lasted a full week, Wyllend himself was deployed by Quintor his team suffered casualties until reinforcements arrived. The aftermath left him affected by the deaths he saw some of even his friends. The following months went by ever so slowly as Wyllend was terrified of taking the lead of a team again, he spent many sleepless nights in the mess hall his own naivety haunting him. It was only the company of Quintor, that helped Wyllend regain a bit of his cheerful self.

Once again Heel was there for him, he was grateful to receive support and their conversation helped him. After a few months sleep came better to him and he managed to return to his bright and friendly self but Wyllend still refused any kind of leading position. Once he had earned enough, he bought a few military equipment sets: weapons, shields all that could be useful to bring back as a gift, and returned in April 2187. He joined the \*Ulnay\*, a quarian ship in the heavy fleet, reuniting with Heel.

Wyllend liked his friend but he knew that his feelings were not of love and refused Heel in the least painful way he could. He wanted to be there for him as Heel had been for himself. When the war against the reapers broke out, Wyllend volunteered to fight. He patrolled with the \*Ulnay\* the fleet surroundings, delaying and misleading with the heavy fleet any reapers in pursuit.

When the war ended Wyllend felt uneasy, and even when in 2190 the quarians received a station as a homeworld he couldn’t settle down. It wasn’t until Wyllend confided with Ruul about his need to leave a mark in history that the veteran suggested for him to travel to the citadel, having heard of a new organization that vowed to work for the betterment of the galaxy. Wyllend proceeded to say his goodbyes to Heel for the second time and while he didn't reciprocate his feelings he didn't want to forget all the time they spent together and decided to sew a patch on the suit's right palm. Giving his dismissal letter to his ship captain he packed his bags, eager to put himself to test for the CRC.

## Personality

Wyl’Lyl has always been carefree and his goofy attitude can be judged as superficial at first glance since he doesn’t look to be taking anything seriously. However his generous side is always ready to help a friend, shifting from a drinking buddy to a wingman and a shoulder to lean on making him sensible and understanding of others' troubles and pains.

He is difficult to anger and always tries the peaceful option in arguments. Wyl is a serious marine and is good at following orders, he does however get too comfortable with his superiors and is often reprimanded for it. When he feels nervous or anxious Wyl sometimes rubs his feet against the ground.

He deeply cares about his teammates and is easy to grow attached to people. This causes him to be affected by the deaths of the people he is in charge of. After his pilgrimage, he refused command of units ever since. His dream is to leave a mark in history.
