Arden Descrier

.

Arden Descrier Is a vaeu antelope who works in the field of precursor Archeology. Currently located on the planet Yaphenna and assigned to the precursor ruin Forest of Steel He is tasked with seeking out and recovering precursor artifacts that may be useful to the advancement of yaphennan technology. Reporting back to research camp Inquisitive Shadow Arden often works directly under Tamminick Descrier. Despite sharing the same last name, Arden and Tamminick are not genetically related. Descrier is in fact a title name, in this case stating that this person is tasked with the recovery of precursor artifacts.

Arden grew up as part of a nomadic mixed herd of vaeu and Lo'enn that wandered the precursor ruins closest to sea level. Closer to sea level, the plant life of Yaphenna is incredibly lush, so Arden's herd were able to live a simple life of grazing and exploration. As the years go by, various members of the herd tend to find their calling in life, and leave the group behind. When Arden reached adulthood, he too left his herd in search of a more fulfilling use of his time. Having wandered through precursor ruins his entire childhood, Arden found great fascination with the structures, and the secrets locked within. Having seen a few research camps as he was growing up, the young antelope traveled between a few of them, learning what he could about the different roles that he could perform as part of one of these camps. Eventually deciding to become a descrier, Arden introduced himself to the research department of research base Inquisitive Shadow. After showing an aptitude for the skills that would be needed for the task, Arden was apprenticed under Tamminick descrier, and spent several years learning the trade under her direct supervision. Eventually completing his training, Arden began to operate on his own, and as the head of several expeditions.

The herd that Arden grew up in never bothered with the use of synth technology, because a pilots "rack" interface tends to be a fairly bulky and stationary piece of equipment. This would have been a great hinderance to the nomadic lifestyle that his herd adhered to. When Arden joined the descriers guild, he was offered a synth and decided to accept the surgical procedure needed to install the neural interface required to be a pilot. However, despite owning a fully functional neural connector, Arden never actually requisitioned a synth of his own, much to the dismay of several of his friends and coworkers. The life of a descrier can be incredibly hazardous, as 300 years of neglect have left much of the precursor ruins in poor condition. Piloting a synth would have kept Arden out of harms way, but he chose instead to explore the Forest of steel with his own natural body. As time went by, Arden found himself in several sticky situations and ended up injured as a result of each. He now bears a collection of scars strewn across his body, a reminder of how fragile ones own body can be.

Arden's profile was assessed by the Vaeu Genetic Recovery Board and was assigned to become the buck that would produce offspring with Whinn Doe when the next mating cycle takes place. Although the two had been paired up algorithmically, they decided to meet up and soon found themselves quite fond of one another. Both their occupations tend to keep them apart for long periods of time, but Arden and Whinn remain close friends, despite the awkward circumstances.
