Childhood
Meelko was born in the middle of a family of slaves. He always thought that it was the Yentarr’s will, and he never questioned it in his early days. His fathers were always busy working really hard, so he had to live by himself, learning to do a lot of things without help of anyone, and learning how to teach himself new things pretty fast.
He hadn’t to work in his early days, and even though his father was always tired when he came back from work, his mother always had a smile in his face and a history to tell him. Thanks to his mother, Meelko, learned the stories from his race –The Bosph–. Through the years she taught him all that she knew about his race, the Yentarr, and a little bit of medicine.
Life as a Slave
At his 15 years ceremony his owner pierced his horns with earrings as a sign of enslavement. That humbled him. All those years studying, reading, preparing himself to do something greater made him dream of a better life. He though he deserved more than that, he was smart, he was a good student, he though he knew what the Yentarr wanted.
What did the Yentarr really wanted?
- "I though the Yentarr were good old spirits that helped everyone in need. I was a dreamer. They do help everyone, but in complex and really hard to understand ways."
- — Meelko Yuntaare
He lived his life as a slave with resignation. Every day he woke up, exercised, worked, studied, and sleep. That was his routine for four years. That was his life. It was maddening so he started to study how to flee out of there. He studied how to pilot ships with books and simulators. Sometimes he even found himself daydreaming about his freedom, but he had to stop himself repeatedly to finish his day of work as soon as posible.
Three years later, pirates attacked them. Meelko was on the kitchen when the attack began. The whole place started shaken. At first, he didn’t know how to react. At second neither. At third he started to look for his fathers because he finally realized something wasn’t right.
But he was not fast enough. They were dead.
He freaked out. He realized how fragile life really was and freaked out. He remembered every pretty moment he had with his fathers and he freaked out. So, he ran. He ran as fast as he could. He thought about the ships his lord had in the hangar while running in the opposite direction. Turned back. Avoided a couple of pirates, and boarded the last ship in the hangar.
He was finally free. But freedom wasn’t as exciting as he thought. Depression isolated him. His fathers were dead. His existence had no point at all. No at all. What did the Yentarr want of him? Where they even real? Who was himself?
Freedom
He traveled to the nearest system, and began a new life.
He had a lonely life wich he dedicated to think about himself. He had to rebuild his life, his whole life. He had to rebuild his identity, the way he talks about himself, the way he talks with himself, the way he thinks about himself.
This rebuilding of his own soul, life and dreams took him into a realization:
- "Only on a world of freedom, knowledge and equanimity one can truly be oneself. And being oneself is what the Yentarr wants."
- — Meelko Yuntaare
So he set his own life around that. He went to the Tresario Star Kingdom and applied to study in their university. It was time for him to start a military career to bring freedom, knowledge and equanimity to each corner of the galaxy.
- "Every soul must be freed from the most slavish chain: oneself."
- — Meelko Yuntaare
The reason he thought that the military career would help everyone to be oneself was because the Tresario Star Kingdom had the principies of freedom, knowledge and equal opportunities. So, if he helped the kingdom to expand he was helping thousand of people by giving them the citizen rights of the kingdom he belonged.
