## Biography

### Early Life and Adulthood

In 5369 ASA, Tzaeru Jalmari was born on the planet Dangaros in the Prerapha Sector. Ever since he was a child, Tzaeru loved to read and frequently visited his local library. By reading the fictional works of others, Tzaeru was inspired to delve into his own imagination and creativity to begin writing his own stories. As a result, creative writing continued to be a passion for him throughout the majority of his life.

As an adult, Tzaeru continued to work in creative writing as a hobby. As a job, he worked as a technician, handling maintenance and inspections on various different ships as a freelancer. He was accustomed to performing acts of mundane labor as spaceship janitor of sorts.

### Crashing on Fremifor: A New Life

In the final days of the year 5409 ASA, Tzaeru was hired for a custodial job aboard a ship piloted by the contractor Max Alterman. This job required him to travel alongside the surgeon Cass Francoh, who Tzaeru had already been acquainted with on previous galactic travels. Cass herself was hired for a surgery job which required her to venture out to a faraway world in the eastern Outer Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy.

A malfunction in their ship's engine systems caused the entire vessel to be dragged out of hyperspace and set on a path to crash-land on the backwater planet of Fremifor. All three individuals aboard the ship managed to survive the crash with minimal injuries.

While appearing as a freak accident, the crash was actually the purposeful work of LANDER, a secretive organization that often crashed ships with small passenger counts and discreetly observed the progress of survivors as a means of research. LANDER tampered with the ship's engines before the ship took flight, while also having hired Cass for a falsified surgery job in order to get her, Tzaeru, and Max out into the largely uncharted Outer Expanse.

Although the first few days being stranded on Fremifor were tough for Jalmari, Francoh, and Alterman, the group of three managed to establish a serviceable encampment for themselves through their combined efforts. This base would eventually develop into a settlement, which they called Danessa Mire, within the first few weeks of the new year 5410 ASA.

#### Finding Love in Struggle

As the three settlers continued to live on Fremifor for several months, Tzaeru developed feelings for Cass Francoh and eventually asked her out. The woman reciprocated these feelings and the two entered into a deeply romantic relationship with one another.

## Personality and Traits

Tzaeru was a Human man with messy brown hair, light-toned skin, and narrow dark-brown eyes. He kept a circle beard.

As someone who grew up frequenting his local library, Tzaeru had a love for writing and storytelling. He was also an avid reader of stories from other authors aside from himself. Some considered him to be rather romantic and ambitious because of his love for creativity and storytelling. Out of the other initial Danessa Mire settlers, Tzaeru was the most industrious as he often had an easy time staying focused and on-task. This made him an efficient, highly organized, and relatively fast worker. He was also prone to bouts of insomnia and always had issues managing a proper sleep schedule.

Tzaeru strictly avoided alcohol and recreational drugs of all sorts. He was an incredibly introspective person who often thought critically before making any major decisions. Many considered Tzaeru to be a conscientious person because of his efforts.

## Skills and Abilities

Many considered Tzaeru to be most skilled in the realm of artmaking and craftsmanship. He had enough stamina in his adult age to be adept at mining and construction. He had a degree of first aid training and new how to handle firearms, although he was by no means an expert sharpshooter.

## Trivia

* Tzaeru is based off of a randomly generated colonist character from the sandbox video game *RimWorld*.
