Personal Background:

Cyiv was born on the planet Denobula, in the year 2226. As a youngster, he excelled in his schoolwork, and it was apparant that he had great aptitude for the techinical sciences. After finishing the basic schooling requried of all young Denobulans, he was accepted into Denobula's Kiklak School of Higher Learning, working towards and finally receiving his master's degree in Propulsion Engineering. After graduating, he was offered a job in a developement lab on Denobula, which he accepted.

In the years before he decided to join Starfleet, he met and married his first wife, Frej. Not long after, he married Giere, a co-worker. Tensions arose soon after, as the two wives disliked each other for many reasons, most of all being Frej's upbringing from family wealth.

As the years past, his two wives bore him a total of 4 children, 3 female and 1 male, with a total of 29 children in his extended family. He has yet to find a third wife.

Enrolling in Starfleet Academy in 2262, Cyiv excelled in all his classes, and decided to venture out from just Engineering, taking classes in the Tactical and Operations fields, as well as some basic command classes. He was also a member of the Academy's shuttle stunt team, and was appointed the team leader as a 4th year cadet.

After graduation, Cyiv served aboard multiple vessels in Engineering and some Operations capacities, slowly rising in rank. He returned to the Academy to teach for a decade (2284-2294) During that time, Cyiv was able to spend more time with his family, and consequently, he became a father again, twice over.

Most recently, Cyiv was asked by Starfleet to return to active duty as the Chief Engineer aboard the new USS Challenger, NCC-2457. He accepted, and is currently serving in that capacity.

Denobulan Culture:

The planet Denobula was one of the first planets to join the United Federation of Planets at it's founding in 2161. Though it has produced some of the Federation's leading scientists and engineers, not many of it's citizens have joined Starfleet and served aboard starships.

Denobulans are typically polygamous, each man normally having three wives, which in turn, have 3 husbands. This leads extremely large extended families. In addition, Denobulan marriages are not exclusive, and married Denobulans can be intimate with anyone they choose. The females emit powerful pheromones during their mating season. Male Denobulans often become combative during this time, and mating can require medical supervision. Denobulans typically prefer to be amongst large groups and find solitude uncomfortable. However, Denobulans, at least males, are uncomfortable being touched by persons they are not intimate with.

Hallucination is considered healthy for Denobulans, it is seen as a way to safely expend nervous energy. The average lifespan is very large, with about 3 generations being born every 500 years. Denobulans also possess particulary strong immune systems, resistant to most diseases and viruses which incapacitate other humanoid species.

Denobulans have a unique ability to enlarge their faces when feeling threatened, much like an Earth blowfish. They also have unusually large smiles than most humanoids, and require very little, if no sleep, except for one hibernation period each year, lasting from 5-6 days.
