Appearance
Veltis has an average Turian body type, standing at 6’6” and weighing 220 lbs. With a brown-grey skin tone, and a long crest of horns on his head. He has green tattoos on his face. He wears a Starfleet Medical enlisted uniform, altered to fit a Turian. He has spurs on his lower leg.

Personality
Veltis usually has a very caring but stern attitude. He has a tendency to lash out verbally when stressed, but never physically, and also apologizes profusely if it happens. On-duty, he is no-nonsense and will not hesitate to point out if something someone is doing is a waste of time, or dangerous. Off-duty however, he’s usually much more friendly.

History
Veltis grew up on Palaven, in Cipritine. He lived a relatively average life, raised by his parents, Selus Barian, and Dinia Barian as an only child.

Like most Turian children, he was sent to a boot camp. When it was time to select his occupation, he was trained as a nurse. While there, he was of course instructed in nursing, but also other skills, such as basic repair skills, hand-to-hand combat, and basic marksmanship.

While in the Turian navy, he served aboard the cruiser PFS Arthera, as a nurse. His posting aboard the Arthera was quite calm, since it was basically a glorified Coast Guard ship, so his career mostly consisted of treating radiation sickness in freighter crew’s after their ship had an accident, or the occasional treatments of wounds sustained by a smuggler. He served on the Arthera for 11 years. At the age of 27, he left the Turian military, deciding on a career in Starfleet.

After applying for Starfleet, he decided to yet again be a nurse. During his studies at the Academy, he had an easy time getting through. He was not very social, save for a few close friends. He managed to graduate in the top 15% of his classes. He did not do many extra-curricular activities, save for some community service and volunteer work. His first assignment was the USS Arcadia.
