Biography

Born on Risa, Rihen Neyah's father was the ringmaster of the Risian circus. Her mother, an Engineering Officer from Starfleet, fell in love with her father when she visited the planet during R&R. Because of her mother, whom returned to Risa whenever her duties allowed, Rihen picked up technology at a very early age. She was able to understand how things worked very quickly. She could fix just about anything. She even developed some of the most popular entertainment devices on Risia. Besides this fascination of hers, she performed in her father's circus on full time - the blade-juggling act being her main number.

As a teenager, while in the midst of her famous burning batleth juggling act, Rihen injured herself. Fortunately, she wasn't injured too bad and cosmetic surgery removed all traces, but bad enough to make her afraid when juggling blades again. It brought an end to her career at the circus, to both her own and her father's dismay, which left her pursuing her engineering interests instead, even if she became remote to her father and his full time obsession with the circus.

Being left alone to find a living on her own, even if her father could provide for her, Rihen tried to help the people on Risa with their mechanical needs - which was not too big a market for her. The planet did have its technologically sophisticated weather control network that provided nearly constantly desirable weather, and also, the seismic regulators that eliminated the geological instability for tourist comfort, yet those were the first things she learned how they worked, and they were far too boring to spend the rest of her life doing maintenance on.

No, she had to try and help the tourists instead if she was supposed to develop her skills. She performed for the tourists to get their attention, did everything which was expected of her and she enjoyed pleasing the tourists in every way she could - making her father proud of how she even promoted his circus. Yet besides the simple joys of the Festival of the Moon, which was held in her home of Suraya Bay, or the Temtibi Lagoon, the Subterranean Gardens or the steam-pools, she had that itch of creativity and desire to fix things. So, she combined the treatment of the tourists with her services as an engineer. Problem was, she did not make any distinction as to what kind of projects were legal or not when she did her utmost to please them. She learned that she was good with weapons engineering, and since weapons were not allowed on Risia, she quickly drew her fathers anger, along with trouble with the authorities.

It was only when two disruptor rifles she had repaired ended up in a murder investigation in the water recreation park that she was finally exiled from Risia - her father so disappointed with her he could not get over it. Her mother only learned what had happened months later, returning from a long voyage in the outskirts of the Quadrant, and by then... Rihen was gone.

Years passed where she travelled and made her own living through her skills, and eventually, having lived through many adventures, she ended up in Paradise City on Nimbus III. With her collected savings, she set up her work-shop there, and became friends with the locals - adapting to the life led in the rough city. Her dream, however, was to transform Nimbus III to the paradise of her home planet. To set up a similar weather control system that they had on Risia, and to make Paradise City a paradise for real.

Through investments and 'extra services' to a merchant's guild, she managed to get a hold of what she needed - an Federation-issue industrial replicator. It was, to her great dismay, however broken, and she was the twelfth engineer in line to try and make it work. The entire thing was a patchwork of needless repairs on top of an unfamiliar design, and she spent a year to try and make heads or tails of it.

Eventually, she got help from a certain away-team, where Lt. Lin Kae of the USS Theurgy came along and repaired it (though it should be noted that she did not realise she got help from Starfleet, and much less a ship branded as outlaws and traitors). Yet after the three people that had seemed to be her saviours left, the industrial replicator was unable to replicate to its specified capacity, making the authorities and buyers in the city fairly mad when she could not deliver as promised. It became evident that it had been sabotaged by the same group of people that had repaired it. Her dream of replicating and selling the parts for a new weather control system died just before it could be realised, and she just had to find the people that had conned her - to convince them to restore the device to its high standard. She would do anything to help the people on her new home planet to live like she had on Risa; to make the planet thrive on tourism and trade.

Little did she knew that the pursuit of the three con-artists would lead to her partaking in the grand story to follow.

Personality Profile

When sober, she would never be mean or annoying. Being from Risa, she is of the nature that she can be friends with anyone, and even if someone was not her friend, she would still be nice. Kindness being free, she gives it out as much as she can. Smiling is almost never inappropriate. She believes that you don't know how much someone's day can be brightened by just one genuine smile.

When drunk, however, she is more troublesome, degenerating into a person not entirely in control of the situation. She cannot hold her liquor, and often gets too inebriated if she starts drinking.

Physical Profile

Her most distinguishing features, besides the obvious, is her heterochromatic eyes - her right being blue and the left being brown. She wears her hair short and dyed blonde, and she is often a bit dirty because of her line of work. Rihen's own unique look is overalls with deep necklines and gloves. She is not the kind to wear cute bracelets, earrings or carry around a stylish purse that goes with feminine outfits. She has yet to find some accessories that really complement her outfit, besides her tools and her blinding smile. Oh, and her more globated accessories, of course.
