Personality: Keri'cruen is a kind, loyal and compassionate daur adolescent. While an innate curiosity and thirst for knowledge is widely considered to be a racial trait of the shukaren daur, Keri's is particularly voracious. It is his desire for knowledge and new discoveries that drove Keri to join V'kaste's Legion and the Volunteer Navy – even though he is pacifistic by nature and has little desire to fight.

Due to the fact that the Navy would be at the forefront of the Kingdom of Neshaten's efforts in space exploration, at an early age Keri'cruen dedicated himself to joining the military's ranks so that he might be assigned to an exploration vessel and experience the wonders of the galaxy first-hand.

His interests and skills lay mainly in the fields of science and engineering – topics which he continues to study with vigour even when off-duty. He also has a passing interest in a variety of other subjects including language, religion and history. Outside of the pursuit of knowledge, Keri is fond of a variety of entertainments such as Meer'tro, Quare'tro, and especially enjoys Xes'trena.

Due to his privileged lifestyle prior to joining the military, Keri has previously experienced little in the way of real hardship, though this has begun to change after experiencing real-life combat situations. He can also be considered over-kind and naïve; at times he has been easily fooled by lies and deceptions that were obvious to others more experienced than himself and can be easily mislead because of his overly trusting nature.

Keri'cruen is also something of an eccentric bookworm – even his friends think he's a bit odd, and on occasion he displays the habit of jumping from one topic of conversation to another randomly or skipping parts of his sentences when he's excited.

Likes: Sports, racing, games, books, science, learning, gentle music, making friends, fruit drinks, fine foods, sword-fighting, starship engineering, tinkering.

Dislikes: Idiots, liars, laziness, prejudice, arguments, cold weather, unnecessary conflict, cruel jokes, politics.

Goals: To learn as much as he possibly can and one day captain his own exploration ship.

Keri'cruen was born in the capital city of Netoshen in the year ER 761. He is the eldest and only male offspring of three children born to Ta'cruen and Rho'suni – two well-known and wealthy aristocrats of the Neshaten noble-caste. The patriarch of the Se'verem, Ta'cruen, provides leadership for the Se'verem Industrial Consortium; a collection of businesses which almost rival the Yuina'cema Merchant Family. The consortium is easily the second-largest contributor of new technologies for the entire Kingdom of Neshaten. Keri's mother Rho'suni works in politics and serves as a member of the Royal Family's advisory council representing the governments Division of Expansion.

For most of his early life Keri lived in the capital within his family's estate – he was guided and trained by family servants and paid tutors before being given a more formal education through private schooling at the Shi'ka'ma Academy. The Shi'ka'ma Academy was located in the city of Ne'ushae prior to it being bombed by the Netrunu'marol and has since been reconstructed as the She'na Academy. It was during his time at this school that he met and became close friends with Quin'trema Xeui'na – the daughter of a Levian noble family engaged in a historically close and friendly relationship with the Se'verem nobility. During his enrolment, Keri also formally joined V'kaste's Legion.

Keri spent most of his free time studying whatever peaked his interest; including history, language and the arts. But his primary focus had always remained increasing his aptitude with space-related sciences and starship engineering. Totally fixated on his goal of joining the Navy and joining a starship crew, Keri proved himself an intellectual prodigy by managing to graduate from the Academy with multiple Jui'ashen-level certifications at an exceptionally early age – most Neshaten do not manage to attain such high qualifications before the age of 20.

After graduating from the academy, Keri'cruen enrolled in and completed the Navy's basic training before applying to join the engineering career track. After several additional seasons – during which Keri received a more in-depth education on the vehicles, systems, equipment and engineering skills utilized by the Shukara Volunteer Navy – the kit successfully finished the training course and was reassigned to his first posting aboard the SNV Gam'trosha.

Keri is familiar with and quite capable of operating most computer systems of Neshaten design. With those computer systems with which he is unfamiliar, Keri quite likely will be able to familiarize himself within a reasonably quick timeframe. Additionally, Keri'cruen is adept in the use of tools and systems utilized for maintenance, repair and engineering projects due to his schooling and military training. After his naval engineering course, he has also become capable of creating, utilizing and maintaining the various kinds of computer software and electronic hardware used aboard Shukara Volunteer Navy starships.

Keri'cruen is an avid student of history, religion, the origins of the Neshaten and their language. Curious to a fault, Keri spends considerable portions of his free time pouring over books and datapads in the attempt to expand the boundaries of his knowledge and skills in all areas. Due to this habit, he often possesses odd bits of knowledge about a wide variety of topics.

Keri'cruen has been tutored in a variety of sword-fighting styles from a young age and is adept at a few. As a member of the nobility Keri has become quite familiar with the Curan style – a style which is often used in friendly competition or to disarm opponents.

He is also been trained in the use of the Vrete and Guikane sword styles – both by tutors and as part of his basic military training. Keri now utilizes an unusual personal mix of all three styles together when he fights.

Keri is much less adept in the use of ranged weaponry – he has enough familiarity with ranged weapons such as Neshaten Energy Bows and Vela'rius Swordrifles due to his military training to know how to use such weapons, but is not greatly skilled.

In part due to his military training and also due to his fascination with space exploration, Keri'cruen is skilled in a variety of starship operations. He has been trained to pilot shuttle-craft and he knows how to operate the helm of larger starships, though he is not particularly practiced in either area. In order to navigate starships, Keri has become familiar with astrometrics and stellar cartography.

Keri as an engineer has been trained for maintenance and repair duties. As part of his extensive education he has a broad base of technical knowledge to draw upon when it comes to adapting, repairing or installing familiar or even unfamiliar technologies.

Keri, in a manner similar to his aptitude with maintenance and repair has become quite proficient with act of mechanical engineering. He has thought up numerous small innovations that are presently puttering around in his head, though he hasn't actually given form to any of them yet. Probably sometime soon, Keri will put his engineering skills to use in order to breathe life into his ideas.

Keri'cruen learned basic first-aid as part of his military training. He has also studied biology and chemistry, possessing a broad amount of knowledge but no formal training as an actual doctor. Partly from his studies and partly from his military engineering course, Keri has become familiar with astrophysics, quantum physics, dimensional theory and other sciences which relate to the function of starships and the technologies therein, such as their FTL drives, shields, engines etc.
