## Biography

Vitor’Raedal vas Xaadir was born in the year 2166 on Nadir, one of the ships of the Quarian flotilla, to a scientist father, Jotor’Raedal, and a doctor mother, Nori’Raedal.  As an infant, his mother took care of him until he was 2, when she decided to go back to work. When Vitor turned 2, he was left in the care of his aunt, Shena’Faara. Vitor’s relationship with his parents was strained, though he still deeply cared about them. Vitor had more of a rough relationship with his father, as Jotor was more absent than Nori. Vitor’s father's work and obsession with the geth made Jotor mostly absent. Although he tried to make it up to Vitor by buying him books, Vitor was always slightly bitter about how his father tried to buy him off with gifts.

After he grew a bit older, he started to get into technology, showing a lot of interest in his father's work with broken metal and the study of geth. Vitor would constantly try to stick his nose where it didn’t belong by trying to get into the labs. Luckily, his aunt always kept a close eye on him and would be taken before he could get into anything harmful. To keep him occupied and to avoid a deadly potential injury, his aunt bought him his first book on technology. This, however, made Vitor a bit of a bookworm and eventually socially awkward and shy as he didn’t interact often with other quarians his age. While he lacked a huge friend group, he had a childhood best friend named Zaen’Razh. Vitor met Zaen in their shared class as both boys sat next to one another. Zaen took the chance to introduce himself to the quiet Vitor and showed interest in what Vitor was reading. Vitor started talking to him through his interest and eventually, the two became friends through Zaen taking the initiative to speak first.
In his preteen years, Vitor met two other quarians named Vaal’Yaen and Saana’Zima through school. Though Vitor was intelligent, he didn’t put his full effort in if he wasn’t interested in the subject. He continued to read, even reading in the middle of a lesson which caused his teacher to become frustrated with him. Vitor was paired with Vaal’Yaen, a rather social type, in hopes that Vitor would participate in more activities with his peers. Much like Zaen, Vaal was more social than Vitor. Vaal gave Vitor the confidence he lacked by encouraging him to always do better. Vaal shared Vitor’s main interest in technology, making the two become close friends. He also met Saana’Zima through Vaal, who knew Saana since they were small children as their families were close. Saana was more similar to Vitor in personality and shared his common interest in reading. Saana, however, read more variety of books than Vitor who typically stuck to engineering and technology. Vitor introduced Zaen to Vaal and Saana and the four became close, often studying with one another or hanging out after class.
As Vitor hit his early teenage years, he became more confident and social, he began to participate more in class and overall started improving in school. He got into poetry, though reading was still his go-to form of entertainment. He kept a journal and jotted down ideas he could later write as a poem. His poetry would usually consist of everyday objects he would spot, such as a book or a chair. Vitor would become more outgoing by telling jokes. Vitor would also use his friends to test his comedy on when the four would hang out in their free time.

When Vitor grew into his later teenage years, he started to shadow other quarians in the engineering field. He started doing on-the-job training with repairs, which he excelled in. A few years into his training, Vitor was caught up in a malfunction while repairing a console's faulty circuitry on the flotilla. The console, which Vitor had previously thought was finally fixed, suddenly bursts into flames while he was checking on it, leaving Vitor’s left arm burned. Though he managed to get the flames out by running to the closest water source, the flames left the console he was repairing unusable. Unfortunately, this made it seem like Vitor was at fault and lack of evidence that could prove possible tampering or it needing to be replaced entirely. Vitor’s burn became a permanent scar and had unfortunately torn through his suit, so he had to get a new one. The entire incident left many quarians quite unhappy with Vitor since now they were down a console and some parts, including a circuit board. Vitor was then not allowed to continue to work on the consoles and it was concluded that the incident was due to Vitor not being careful and taking necessary precautions. After taking time to heal as much as he could from the incident, he decided to start his pilgrimage at the young age of 18.

During the Terminus war, Vitor did not want anything to do with conflict and tried his best to avoid it, to no avail. He was soon faced with a decision he wanted no part of; join his people in the war against the citadel council or to go against his people. To avoid any trouble with the migrant fleet, Vitor decided to join his people much to his distaste but would go on to eventually break off from the conflict not long after getting into it to focus on his pilgrimage.

Upon hearing news about the reapers, Vitor became interested in them for their technology, but feared that his pilgrimage would become even more dangerous due to their existence being acknowledged. Though since he was quite stubborn, Vitor was determined to see his pilgrimage to the end. He decided on a plan to search for parts that could improve the quality of the flotilla. Vitor found himself looking through the galaxy to find old or somewhat new debris from shuttles or ships that floated around. Unfortunately, Vitor had no luck with finding anything worth salvation on any debris he found. Anything he salvaged was at best worth some credits, so he decided to sell anything he couldn’t return home with for credits. Vitor also picked up a new hobby while he was searching for the perfect gift to bring back home, building drones. He would keep some of the debris he would find to build drones, though most of the debris would be sold. Vitor never used expensive or good salvage on his drones, so his drones typically broke after a few uses of testing them out.

Soon after the reaper war ended, Vitor had managed to find something worthy to bring back to the migrant fleet. He struck a deal with a merchant on a short stop on Omega; in exchange for thousands of credits he earned through selling the debris he found, he got his hands on a circuit board. He felt like he couldn’t possibly face his people without fixing the mess that occurred a few years back. Vitor gave the merchant almost every last credit he had in exchange and didn’t see any use in staying on Omega. He promptly left and returned to the fleet with the circuit board as a gift, which was humbly accepted. Trust was regained through most quarians and Vitor was again allowed to work engineering. Fortunately, Vitor’s minor part in the Terminus War was not an issue as he once feared it might be and he was welcomed home. He then chose to join the Xaadir ship as an engineer and found his place in civilization yet again.
In the year 2190, Vitor grew restless and bored of life on Xaadir. Learning about other species and exploring the galaxy as well as helping other people was what Vitor enjoyed doing. Vitor wanted to make a difference in other people's lives. And then he heard of the CRC, which piqued his interest, giving him that chance to help, and decided to set off and join to start a new chapter in his life.

## Personality

While he used to be shy as a child, Vitor became quite outgoing thanks to his friends' influence on him. He is rather polite to anyone he meets and treats everyone with mutual respect. Vitor believes in first impressions and puts pressure on himself to make sure his first impressions are well mannered and polite. Vitor is known to have a good sense of humor. Vitor never uses other people to be the center of his joke and always finds a good pun to be the best medicine for sadness.

He can be quite oblivious about his surroundings at times, making a lot of words go right over his head and leading to insensitive remarks about others unintentionally. This makes him seem rude or uncaring at times. Vitor can be quite rash in his decisions, not always thinking of the long-term consequences of his actions. He also tends to blurt out things that are better kept inside his head, which can lead to arguments and hurt feelings.
However, he can become quick to irritate and becomes frustrated easily, with slowness, in particular, being his main pet peeve. When he gets impatient, he can be quite childish and start muttering profanities under his breath. Vitor prides himself on his promises, which can sometimes show his stubbornness in situations where he knows he must back out of the promise for safety reasons or if the promise has become impossible. It can make Vitor quite reckless at times as he will go out of his way to ensure he doesn’t disappoint the other person. With this, however, Vitor will only choose to break a promise if it puts other people in danger.

### Hobbies & Interests

* **Bookworm for life -** Reading has always been a huge part of Vitor’s life and he often could be seen around the flotilla with a book in hand or with him. For Vitor, reading about technology was a way to educate and entertain himself as he was raised mostly by his aunt from the age of 2 until he left for his pilgrimage.
* **Roses are red…** *-* Vitor always enjoys a good sappy poem, and even more, he loves to write them. While he has nobody to give them to, in his spare time, Vitor will write multiple poems and spends time writing and rewriting them. He keeps a journal on him to write quick ideas so that he can write about them through poetry later.
* **Drones, drones, drones…** - Though a hobby he picked up while on his pilgrimage, Vitor loves drones. He loves building them even more. With what scrap parts he didn’t sell off, he would build a drone for himself. Vitor would spend hours of his spare time, whenever he wasn’t finding salvage, creating a companion for himself, though every creation would eventually break after a while.
