Name of
Character: Imdiko Yorso
Timeline:
Year 0: Born to governess Matara Dulsen (she’s paid by her
much richer sister—Dulsen clanned for love, not status), historian Dramok
Roslad, training camp instructor Nobek Enra, historian Imdiko Adnun. Only child,
raised in quiet and contemplative surroundings, spends a lot of time with
cousins whom his mother teaches.
Year 3: So beautiful that vid-scouts convince the parent
clan to put him in vid-dramas; coincidentally, he plays the son of Osopa’s father
Mokta in one…but the boys don’t meet.
Year 5: Classified an Imdiko. Same year, his parents end his
vid career because they don’t like the self-centered attitudes they see and the
unreality of the life at his age. Though he doesn’t miss the demands, Yorso
does miss being fussed over.
Year 12: After attending one of his historian fathers’
lectures about Kalquor’s past diplomatic works, Yorso finds himself fascinated
by alien cultures. He begins studying the subject on his own.
Year 14: After his mother notes the encyclopedic knowledge
Yorso has gained about Joshadans, Tragooms, and other cultures, she consults
with leading educators she knows. His schooling takes a turn as he’s granted a
scholarship to study his interest at college-level while continuing his basic education.
Year 17: Earth is discovered. Yorso excitedly follows the
latest information on this species that looks so similar to his own, but is
socially quite different.
Year 18: Completes basic school, continues studies in alien
cultures. Has first sexual encounter with a Dramok, then starts dating around
when he realizes how popular his good looks make him. Begs his parents not to arrange
any clanships—he tells them he wants to concentrate on studies and become a
diplomatic aide, which is partially true, but he really wants to slut around.
They agree to let him pick his own clan.
Year 20: Finishes his studies and quickly lands an
assignment to the Kalquorian minister to Plasius. Has a very good time on his
few trips to that planet.
Year 22: Vies to work with ambassador to Earth, but doesn’t
land the position. He takes a new job with ambassador to Adraf instead.
Year 23: With hostilities growing with Earth, Yorso
recruited by Kalquor’s fleet after they note his interest in the alien culture.
He’s not a member of the fleet, but a cultural advisor on Tranis’s spyship. He
enjoys his work though he never gets to interact with the Earthers they’re
spying on—advising Tranis and Lidon as they investigate the aliens and their
movements. Has many relationships, but not in any hurry to clan.
Year 24: War with Earth breaks out. Most of the experienced
crew is sent to destroyers, more as casualties call upon good fighting crew.
Large turnover in crew brings on board many new young men, including new
navigator Dramok Tukui and new weapons subcommander Osopa. With his pick of
yummy Dramoks and Nobeks, Yorso is having a grand time despite the danger of
their missions. Despite all efforts to remain fancy-free, Yorso is drawn to Tukui
and Osopa bit by bit.
As with Tukui and Osopa, Yorso's timeline is cut short due to potential spoilers.
