General Overview: Unlike other Vulnians, Dariak doesn't have the usual air of arrogance and authority rather he prefers to bear himself with a curious light. He does however retain the typical bluntness and honesty. Sometimes he can't help but tease other races about their lack of enhancements as a joke to make others feel calm around him. Compared against most marines on a fleet deployment he likes to involve himself with fleet members socially, always looking to learn more about aliens; specifically humans.

Dariak is extremely protective of the people he serves with regardless of the origin and will defend them to the death if needed.

Personal History: Born as the second heir to the Duke of Ont in the year 2015 on the planet Iskur, Dariak has had a long and bloody history thanks to his genetically engineered life span. As a member of a family who had served the Vulnian Empire since its inception he was destined for a life of military service. Dariak's early years were spent either in school or training with his mother or father in the arts of warfare. From hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship Dariak felt that he was ready to join the Navy at the minimum age of fourteen.

Despite his best attempts to prepare himself Dariak found the Naval Academy something of a challenge. Even though the physical and mental stress was something that he had never experience he wasn't a spoiled aristocrat. Unlike the gentry of old Earth, Vulnians of high status were drilled by their families to near perfection in the hopes that they would succeed in the life of a civil servant. The lessons learned at a young age helped steel him for the trials of the cadet life he led. Be it practical or theoretical Dariak overcame his own limitations and after five years of hard work Dariak could claim he was on the path to being a naval officer.

However the lessons didn't simply stop because he had passed this small hurdle. Dariak still had to choose which department he wanted to focus on for his second tier training. Dariak was being somewhat cautious about what he would pick. He had no prior career desires and therefore felt it necessary to get a feel for each path. After some internal debate Dariak decided to join the naval guardsmen; the on board security on ships and stations as well as being a rapid response infantry force should a ship pick up a distress signal from a colony.

Dariak spent the majority of his first three centuries in the service of the Empire. However seeing the challenge of working with people from other species seemed rather interesting now that the option was open to him. After graduating from the Starfleet Marine Corps academy Dariak began to experience the cultures of the various races that made up the Federation with combinations of research and conversation with his fellow marines. His first real position with the Corps was leading the detachment on board the USS Pandora which he served with little note to his career. Even though the lessons were plentiful Dariak found humans a somewhat poor alternative to his own kind in terms of friendship.

Now he has been slated for Omega squad, his skills and abilities put to the test with Taylor as his commanding officer.
