Varder Ridunwas a Security Officer aboard the USS Theurgy. He sustained heavy injuries during an engagement with Task Force Archeron as the Theurgy escaped Federation space. He was put in stasis to preserve his life, and in March of 2381, he was given the medical treatment needed to be able to return to duty. Varder Ridun aided in the opposition against the parasites that compromised Starfleet Command in the end of the 24^th century.

Background Story

Ridun was born during the Cardassian occupation in the year 2351, in an unremarkable village located within the Lonar Province on Bajor. Throughout the first sixteen years of his life, stories of the resistance were prominent, and so were the aftereffects of their actions. However, all the Cardassian retaliations served to do was provoke the young man into acting. The final straw was when his parents simply vanished. Only a week later would they show up in casualty lists.

He managed join up with a resistance cell, known as the 'Bukar', where his agility and rather slight frame came in useful, especially for getting into places most couldn't for the extra edge against the Cardassian occupiers. Throughout his time in the resistance the Prophets were often spoken of and revered, though he himself found little reason to follow gods whom would not help their "Children", instead choosing to tentatively observe it as a matter of culture.

Eventually, the occupation ended, the resistance was reorganized into the Bajoran Militia and Ridun found himself receiving formal training and some degree of formal education in addition to what he had already learned in his life so far. During his Bajoran Militia service, Ridun reached the equivalent rank of a Crewman First Class. The time of his service was relatively uneventful, with little Militia involvement in any conflicts until Bajor's eventual induction into the Federation.

It took the better part of two years for Ridun to transfer into Starfleet from the Bajoran Militia. He completed a basic four-month familiarization and training course before being assigned to his first post on the USS Angelo at the rank of Petty Officer Second Class, an elevated rank because of his experience in the Militia. It was aboard the Angelo that Ridun would encounter the then Lieutenant Nicole Howard, a person whom he grew to respect over their varying interactions on the small ship. He was later transferred to the USS Theurgy around the same time as her.

Ridun had been with the Theurgy for only a short time before the startling discovery of Starfleet Command being compromised by some unknown species. Ridun was frustrated and saddened by both the discovery of their plans and the ensuing chase across the Alpha Quadrant by other elements of Starfleet. The idea of being branded a traitor hurt Ridun, but he understood that the only way that would change was to hold onto the truth until the end. This was perhaps a conviction made easier by having very few people within Starfleet that he really knew.

One thing that made his decision easier was the presence of another former Bajoran resistance fighter in the form of Wenn Cinn, the Chief of Security aboard the Theurgy. Cinn was definitely a man to respect, although Ridun had only limited interaction with him outside of duty.

During one engagement with Task Force Archeron, Ridun was on standby with other security officers in case the Theurgy was boarded. The ship was hit just beside his location, the impact throwing him and wreckage around. A large chunk of which protruded from his chest and upper abdomen, damaging or destroying several major organs including one of his lungs. Fortunately, others nearby were far luckier and managed to get him into stasis.

Personality Profile

Ridun had a strong will and an unshakeable sense of loyalty to those he found himself around and placed his trust in. He often seemed quiet and reserved, unless he had some reason to trust the people he was talking with on a more personal level. This may have been a result of life under occupation with the Cardassians.

He had little if any faith in the Prophets, however, he did continue to outwardly practice the more public aspects of the Bajoran culture, mainly the earring. Which was more worn out of respect for his people than any deep personal reasoning.

One of his perhaps more obvious flaws was a general refusal to give up, even when the odds are ultimately against him.

Physical Profile

With dark brown hair and blue/grey eyes he had an unintentionally intense gaze, just under his chin, on the left side trailing just down to his neck is an older scar which he deliberately kept as a personal reminder. His hair was kept relatively short and slightly unkempt whilst his face was either clean-shaven or sporting light stubble. His body was more on the slight side, as was not unusual for those raised under the occupation, however it was well built and looked after, and while not perfect was nothing to snark at either.

 == Background Story ==
-Sar-unga Neleo was born to mother Amuno Arintha and father Hollu Neleo. Her mother was plagued with bouts of depression throughout her life and suffered a very bad case of postpartum depression shortly after Sar-unga’s birth. Hollu took the role of primary caregiver for most of Sar-unga’s early life. Sar-unga was a wild, rambunctious infant, baby, and toddler that grew strong and healthy, with only the usual children’s illnesses to speak of.
+Ridun was born during the [[Cardassian]] occupation in the year 2351, in an unremarkable village located within the Lonar Province on [[Bajor]]. Throughout the first sixteen years of his life, stories of the resistance were prominent, and so were the aftereffects of their actions. However, all the [[Cardassian]] retaliations served to do was provoke the young man into acting. The final straw was when his parents simply vanished. Only a week later would they show up in casualty lists.
-==== Childhood ====
+He managed join up with a resistance cell, known as the 'Bukar', where his agility and rather slight frame came in useful, especially for getting into places most couldn't for the extra edge against the [[Cardassian]] occupiers. Throughout his time in the resistance the [[Prophets]] were often spoken of and revered, though he himself found little reason to follow gods whom would not help their "Children", instead choosing to tentatively observe it as a matter of culture.
-Hollu was a leader equivalent to a commander during the end of the civil war. His military-like discipline was the sole thing that allowed him to deal with living in chaos. He felt that emotions clouded judgement, and in a critical moment could be your achilles heel. To restrain emotion is to be resilient and strong. For most of Sar-unga’s early childhood, Hollu tried to pass on these lessons down to his daughter. Being young, she did not take to them quickly.
-As Sar-unga turned seven, her mother rejoined family life. With a lighter heart, she came to treasure her daughter. Sar-unga was her mother’s world and she did whatever she could to spoil her daughter, much to the chagrin of Hollu. The two attempted to compromise their ideals and raise her accordingly. Her mother taught her how to tell sories about the stars, and her father taught her Kel-fur which, a defensive form of martial arts similar to judo that uses the attacker's momentum against them. Sar-unga still grew up wild, spoiled, and rough.
+Eventually, the occupation ended, the resistance was reorganized into the [[Bajoran Militia]] and Ridun found himself receiving formal training and some degree of formal education in addition to what he had already learned in his life so far. During his [[Bajoran Militia]] service, Ridun reached the equivalent [[rank]] of a Crewman First Class. The time of his service was relatively uneventful, with little Militia involvement in any conflicts until Bajor's eventual induction into the [[Federation]].
-As a young adult, she and her mother began to fight. Sar-unga had grown up learning she could use Amuno to get her way with Hollu, and eventually everyone else too. During her teenage years, Amuno became aware of what her daughter was doing and put her foot down against the manipulation. Normal teenage-mother bickering turned into an all out family divide, and after Sar-unga’s coming of age at 17, Amuno left the family again to face yet another fight with depression. Hollu, enraged at his daughter’s childish actions, rescinded her right to adulthood, and began a boot-camp like regime for her.
+It took the better part of two years for Ridun to transfer into [[Starfleet]] from the [[Bajoran Militia]]. He completed a basic four-month familiarization and training course before being assigned to his first post on the ''[[USS Angelo]]'' at the [[rank]] of Petty Officer Second Class, an elevated [[rank]] because of his experience in the Militia. It was aboard the ''[[USS Angelo|Angelo]]'' that Ridun would encounter the then Lieutenant [[Nicole Howard]], a person whom he grew to respect over their varying interactions on the small ship. He was later transferred to the ''[[USS Theurgy|USS Theurgy]]'' around the same time as her.
-After many years of growing resentment for her father and a military lifestyle, Sar-unga finally calmed. She was still a hot head, but she was less manipulative, less bitter, more determined and disciplined, and all around a better person. She and her father eventually formed the first post-civil war boot camp for the training of future [[Asurian]] warriors. They oversaw graduation for six and a half decades, during that time Amuno returned to the family Sar-unga saw the birth of twin brothers and a baby sister. Over the next seventy years, both she and her father were integral in establishing the foundations of an [[Asurian]] military. Sar-unga became the leader of advanced training, while her father eventually retired to administrative and overseeing. She passed down Kel-fur, Aru-fur (Aru-fur is an offensive type of hand-to-hand combat, based off some of the stances found in Kel-fur) Sindt-fur. (Sindt-fur is a type of martial arts involving an arm-mounted blade, referred to as a Sindt.) She also trained her officers to use both old Sheromi weaponry and newer [[Asurian]]-developed guns.
+Ridun had been with the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' for only a short time before the startling discovery of [[Starfleet Command]] being compromised by some unknown species. Ridun was frustrated and saddened by both the discovery of their plans and the ensuing chase across the [[Alpha Quadrant]] by other elements of [[Starfleet]]. The idea of being branded a traitor hurt Ridun, but he understood that the only way that would change was to hold onto the truth until the end. This was perhaps a conviction made easier by having very few people within [[Starfleet]] that he really knew.
-After the birth of the last Neleo child, the political landscape began to change rapidly as news of the return of the Sheromi spread throughout the ships. Sar-unga had never been particularly fond of the Sheromi, having grown up with tales of the great atrocities they had done. Though both her parents saw this as a great chance to discover their history, make peace, and possibly open up (desperately needed) trade, Sar-unga still felt skeptical. She remained out of the political sphere during this time. Within the year, it was decided that a handful of Asurians would infiltrate [[Starfleet]], posing as [[human]] cadets, and occasionally report back with information regarding [[Starfleet]]. These ‘spies’ would not only help decide the fate of [[Asurian]]-[[Federation]] diplomacy, but would also prove to the Sheromi that Asurians were willing to make reparations.
+One thing that made his decision easier was the presence of another former [[Bajoran]] resistance fighter in the form of [[Wenn Cinn]], the Chief of [[Security]] aboard the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]''. Cinn was definitely a man to respect, although Ridun had only limited interaction with him outside of duty.
-Sar-unga was still skeptical of the Sheromi, but the chance to finally leave her home and her parents was too great of an offer to resist. She applied to be one of the chosen few, and thanks to her background and well known family, she was chosen.
+During one engagement with [[Task Force Archeron]], Ridun was on standby with other [[security]] officers in case the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' was boarded. The ship was hit just beside his location, the impact throwing him and wreckage around. A large chunk of which protruded from his chest and upper abdomen, damaging or destroying several major organs including one of his lungs. Fortunately, others nearby were far luckier and managed to get him into stasis.
-She and the other ‘cadets’ were to undergo a series of surgeries and alterations that would make them appears as [[human]] as possible, from having her horn buds cut out, being descaled, and having her Velsren sac ‘deactivated’, Sar-unga went through a lot more hardship than she thought she would have to. Eventually, she was shipped off to [[Starfleet Academy|Starfleet academy]]. The Sheromi forged paperwork that would make her appear to be from a russian orphanage, and would also assist in providing false [[medical]] results (such as blood tests, DNA tests, and urine samples) whenever possible. She spent five years living in San Francisco to allow herself time to adjust to [[human]] culture before enrolling in the Academy at the tender age of 137.
+== Personality Profile ==
+Ridun had a strong will and an unshakeable sense of loyalty to those he found himself around and placed his trust in. He often seemed quiet and reserved, unless he had some reason to trust the people he was talking with on a more personal level. This may have been a result of life under occupation with the Cardassians.
-==== Academy ====
-When she enrolled, her former experience as a commander and trainer had to remain a secret. When she took the [[Security]] track at the academy, her background did not translate to any sort of [[Starfleet]] experience, since as far as the [[Federation]] knew, she had no background. She went through all the basic and intermediate courses with excellent grades. She did learn quite a lot from classes that weren’t centered around fighting. She graduated in the top 10% of her class.
-For about nine years, her time in [[Starfleet]] was mostly uneventful as she did her best to avoid detection. She held several low level posts always striving to perform her best at each. She was assigned to the ''[[USS Harbinger|Harbinger]]''  only a week before the order to hunt down the Theurgy. The path her mission had taken her down was not one she had picture even in her wildest dreams. She managed to escape the battle with the ''[[USS Calamity|Calamity]]'' without injury having proved her prowess in battle.
-==== ''[[USS Harbinger|USS Harbinger]]'' ====
-Dyan had been posing as [[human]] on the ''[[USS Harbinger|USS Harbinger]]'' up until the fighting that took place on [[Theta Eridani IV]] when the ''Harbinger'' and the ''[[USS_Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' took off from the planet. She woke up in a pool of her own blood in the ''Harbinger''’s brig, where [[Civilian NPCs|Sonja Acreth]] escaped and killed almost all of the present [[security]] detail. Dyan climbed up on her feet and as she slowly started to heal, she set after Acreth, and with the help of Commander [[T'Rena]] and [[civilian]] communications specialist [[Selena Ravenholm]], Acreth was eventually subdued with multiple shots using the maximum stun setting.
-[[File:Sar-unga-06.png|280px|left]]
-==== ''[[USS_Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' ====
-No more had the ''Harbinger'' and ''Theurgy'' ascended from TEVI than [[Starfleet]] found them outside atmosphere. Given that the ''Theurgy'' is a more advanced ship, it was decided to transport Acreth over to the ''Theurgy'' before the (brief) fighting began, and Dyan transferred over to the ''Theurgy ''too as Acreth's guard, should she come to.
-Her Velsren sac had been working long enough to reveal her [[Asurian]] traits. Judging that it's only a matter of time before someone noticed, she excused herself and headed to Sickbay. There, she revealed her true nature to Doctor [[Dr. Lucan cin Nicander |Lucan cin Nicander]], the Chief [[Medical]] Officer on the ''Theurgy''. She did this in part because she couldn't hide the fact that she wasn't [[human]], but also since she heard about [[Sarresh Morali]], a man on the brink of death who needed the healing powers of her Velsren sac.
+He had little if any faith in the [[Prophets]], however, he did continue to outwardly practice the more public aspects of the [[Bajoran]] culture, mainly the earring. Which was more worn out of respect for his people than any deep personal reasoning.
-So, as a part of offering a token of peace from her people, she had her Velsren sac drained by Nicander so that [[Sarresh Morali]] could be saved. This gained her favour, and freedom to roam the ship instead of being locked up in the Brig next to Acreth.
+One of his perhaps more obvious flaws was a general refusal to give up, even when the odds are ultimately against him.
-During [[Lohlunat]], the Festival of the Moon, she ended up having sex with her captain on the ''Harbinger'', [[Declan Vasser]]. It was an emotional realtionship for her. After this, same night, she sought out [[[Miles Renard, callsign "Iron-Fox"]]|[Miles Renard]]. They sparred, had sex and sleep together. Afterwards, she attended the interrogation of Sonja Acreth.
-When Vasser betrayed the officers and crews of both ships, Dyan's broken heart and abnormal psychology throw [[T'Rena]]'s mind meld off. Instead of a successful mind-meld, Dyan experienced intense hallucinations, rendering her useless, so she was thrown in the brig. Miles, also in the brig, attempted to bring Dyan back to reality shortly before she was raped by [[Zaraq]]. Miles freed Dyan from the brig to join the resistance.
-When Vasser attempted to escape, Dyan transported herself and [[Wenn Cinn|Wenn Cinn]] to the Captain's Yacht to intercept him and spring a trap.
-After the drama involving [[T'Rena]] and Vasser Dyan elected to lie low to process what happened to her before [[Joining the Crew|joining the crew]] of the ''Theurgy'' to resume her duties as a [[Starfleet]] [[security]] specialist.
-== Personality Profile ==
-A social extrovert, she preferred the company of others. She used to be quite hotheaded and showed a lot of bravado and pomp, but was later very insecure about her worth to other people and tended to worry about her image. After her the death of her shipmates aboard the ''Harbinger'', she became a little more unstable than usual. She snapped at friends and seemed to weep at the drop of a hat. The nightmares of she suffered at night, often left her tired and cranky during the day.
 == Physical Profile ==
-[[Human]] form: In her [[human]] form she was slim and delicate standing five foot seven inches. Her body held soft curves along with a graceful muscular form. Her white hair was long hanging down to her waist when it was down. Her skin was almost unnaturally pale. Her face was soft and round giving her a youthful innocent appearance. Her humanoid appearance had no other unusual markings.
+With dark brown hair and blue/grey eyes he had an unintentionally intense gaze, just under his chin, on the left side trailing just down to his neck is an older scar which he deliberately kept as a personal reminder. His hair was kept relatively short and slightly unkempt whilst his face was either clean-shaven or sporting light stubble. His body was more on the slight side, as was not unusual for those raised under the occupation, however it was well built and looked after, and while not perfect was nothing to snark at either.
-After her Velsren sac restored her original appearance, she had a few changes. Her actual appearance was about the same height with a set of small horns, curved back and meant more for fencing than impaling. She had light grey scales on some of the more sensitive parts of her skin that acted as protection, usually clustering near her torso and a large spattering of them between her shoulder blades and down her spine. Just above her buttocks, her spine continued on to form a four foot long tail, the top side of which was covered in scales. Underneath was highly sensitive bare flesh. Her tail communicated emotions, but when she was feeling neutral, it was usually wrapped around one of her legs (A habit from her years undercover, and also prevents other people from stepping on it.)
-Sar-unga had always been a thin and lithe young woman and found it hard to both gain fat and muscle. During her time aboard the ''Theurgy'' she was at a relatively healthy weight, but could stand to gain a few pounds. Although Doctor Nicander put her on a weight gain centered-diet she often strayed from it because she just didn’t feel hungry enough to eat three meals a day.
