Biography

Childhood

A young Huw playing on the roof

Huw Roon was born to wealthy kel dor aristocrats Vernon and Mim Roon in the city of Dor’shan on his homeworld, Dorin. A reserved but outgoing child, Huw had no difficulty making friends and getting into the kind of trouble that one would expect from a young kel dor. His father Vernon, a well-known and respected scientist, saw great promise in his youngest son. Huw could often be found flitting about his father’s laboratory and playing about his legs while he was conducting the various experiments and research that Vernon was known for. Huw would spend hours in his family's laboratory, drawing the myriad array of creatures that his father would house and study there. These years were later found to be formative ones for young Huw: as an adult, he would study medicine and eventually become a respected doctor and biologist in his own right.

When Huw was eight years old, his father Vernon left his family on Dorin to head for deep space in order to conduct research for a highly classified experimental project known only to himself.

Vernon Roon did not return.

His father’s disappearance, while hard on the entire family, proved to be particularly difficult for Huw. Over the next several years, he struggled to find a sense of purpose and reasoning behind his father’s sudden disappearance. It was a struggle that would continue to plague him into adulthood. The years progressed, as they are want to do, and Huw found himself to be a man. Being the progeny of a famed scientist and coming from a family of wealth and notoriety, it was not difficult for him to gain admission to the most respected universities to study medicine. Having completed his studies, Huw began to work at his Uncle’s practice in his home city of Dor’shan, and at his mother’s suggestion, began to train other students of medicine. In his teachings, he regained purpose and eventually settled for a life as an academic professor for medical science & biology.

Discovery

As the long days at the Dor'shan academy progressed, Huw often found himself alone at night. One evening, after a particularly difficult day, Huw returned to his apartment to once more seek shelter from the outside world. Having grown isolated over the years, his loneliness offered him time to think of his father, as he often did on such nights. After his father’s disappearance, his mother gave him a chest full of Vernon’s personal effects. For many years the chest had gone relatively untouched by Huw, but that night he approached the chest and gently lifted the lid. Inside the chest, Huw found several different items: a long dead holopad, various handheld scientific instruments and, at the very bottom of the chest, an old white lab coat.

It was this white lab coat, still bearing the ID-card belonging to his father, that would change Huw’s life forever. Inside the musky white folds he found a small datadisk, weathered and aged from years of abuse. Once he flipped it over in the palm of his hand, he saw it was labelled with one word: “Impetus”.

Huw, still holding the lab coat, urgently grabbed his holopad and sat down and loaded the datadisk. A recording of Vernon Roon’s voice began to fill the room. Huw was startled as it had been years since he heard that voice, but focused intently on his father’s words:

"“...I think I have it all wrong... how could I have been so blind? I have spent YEARS looking at this all wrong! I will contact Dr. Raddius immediately. I think he can point me in the right direction...”"

— Vernon Roon's recording

The recording ended as abruptly as it began. Upon closer inspection, the datadisk had been damaged from what appeared to have been a rather haphazard attempt at wiping it and no other data was able to be retrieved.

Huw spent the next several days obsessing of the recording. He listened to it again and again, hoping to glean some other information that was not immediately apparent, but to no avail. It was then that Huw decided to take the next logical step and locate this Dr. Raddius, and, after a lengthy search, he was able to discern that Raddius had dealings with the New Republic and that he disappeared about the same time as his father. Learning more of their origin, Huw took an interest in their ideals. Eventually he would decide to head over see for himself what role the NR had played in his father's life.

A New Life

Huw inside RepMed's Cantina

With the reluctant blessings of his family, Huw Roon left Dor'shan and joined the New Republic. He figured that if he was ever going to get to the bottom of whatever “Impetus” turned out to be, that he was going to need the help of someone within the Republic and maybe, someone there would know something about his father and Dr. Raddius. Upon graduating the NR Academy on Rodia, which was no difficult task for him, Huw decided to put his skills to use and joined Republic Medical, a medical faction in service of the NR. He felt that before he began asking a lot of questions, that it would be prudent to take some time to get adjusted to his new home and his new life within the NR. After some days of shipping raw materials for RepMed, Huw decided to investigate the local cantina. Little did he know that this building would be the centre of several friendships within his faction. In here, he met sentient such as the first CEO he served under: Jen Eyan. Or would have long chats with the young Nohayk Haddock and the more carefree Han Ballooga. One sentient in particular proved to be a devoted companion in his future life: Gile Landala and he would walk similar paths in their lives it seemed.

"Koh-to-yah my friend..."

As it turned out, Gile would become Huw's most trusted friend. The pair had almost started their careers at the same place and time within the NR, with Gile missing Huw by just one month. Being of similar age and interests, they immediately took a liking to one another and proved that the two of them could accomplish great things. it came to no surprise that both of them eventually applied to become the Republic Medical Academy's new headmaster. Frollo the White, RepMed CEO at the time, allowed for both of them to lead the medical academy together. In a mere three months, the pair were able to revise the somewhat outdated Basic Medical Course, which had been closed for a while now. With the Basic Course open to the public once more, enthusiasts of medicine came and flooded the Medical Academy's halls. As both Huw and Gile worked actively for RepMed and rose through the ranks, they eventually got noticed by several other members of the NR community. Many people began to see them as a odd pair whose motivation and happiness did not seem to tire.

Stepping up

The Culture Office is back in business

After having been a memebr of the art and recruiting teams inside the New Republic Ministry of State, Huw got approached by none other than Natalis Oro. Natalis was Minister of State at the time and had taken notice of the young Kel Dor's liking for social involvement and care for the NR's community and came to see if he'd be interested in the position of "Associate Minister of State". After peeking his interest a bit, she eventually persuaded the nervous young man into accepting. However, faith had altered plans in store it seemed. As Natalis shortly felt a great need in stepping back a little. Arco Serle was her chosen replacement and thus Huw became his second instead of Natalis. Knowing each other from their work in the NR academy, both Huw and Arco held a great respect to one another and their work. Through this, a healthy work-relationship grew, built on respect and honesty. Sadly, the events that followed were beyond Arco's control and forced him to turn his attention elsewhere, leaving Associate Minister Roon in charge of a rather mixed up setting. It was in this time of his life where Huw had to make sure he stepped up his game. The time had come to prove his worth. In the following months the young Kel Dor managed the MoS departments in Arco's absence, often feeling alone in the process but never without counsel. Orion Chran & Tengri Lethas Where two of his main advisors at the time as they guided him on his path of leadership. In his time as AMoS, he witnessed the Art team reliving a golden age under their new leader, Shu Shei Dael. He rebuilt the Culture Office under a new form of command: A board of three members, jointly leading the culture office and it's three branches. A milestone in his career and personal life, came in the form of Associate Minister of Justice Katie Tonks. Her appointment caused the Justice Department to flourish in activity no one had witnessed yet. As an administrative member of the MoS, the young miss Tonks came to be close with both Arco & Huw. With Arco's attention turned elsewhere, she proved to be a valuable support for Huw. On Day 94 of Year 19, after Arco's sixth month of absence, Huw was offered the position of Minister of State.

"And your hosts tonight..."

While being Associate Minister, Huw got to know all the different departments and roles inside the MoS. In his discovering there was one department that specifically caught his individual interest. The Republic News Network had been down for a bit, given there was no one left to tend to it. It became one of Huw's pet projets to restart the RNN program. As one would expect, Gile Landala eagerly joined him in this persuit. In limited time the pair were able to come up with a few initial posts, their first subject commenting on the freshly rebuilt Culture Office. The RNN started broadcasting again on Day 338 of Year 19.

Personality and traits

Being a doctor, Huw had considerable skill in medicine. Though some high-end doctors did not see him as one of the best, it was his creativity in medical matters that gave him his reputation of an adequate doctor. His calm though still amiable nature had often been called " a plus on his otherwise 'unorthodox' thinking" by his more professional colleagues.
