Physical Description:
First impressions? This is a male Caitian. A little on the short side when compared to humans, he's lean, but tends to stand straight, with his shoulders squared.

His short fur is tawny, almost lionish. A little longer on the top of his head, it's styled carefully and kept out of the way. Sharp, light blue eyes are visible beneath, and he's often ready with a smile. His ears are tall and pointed, rather lynx like. Short, well groomed claws are kept out of the way, and he has a long, expressive tail in the back.

Family & Personal History:
Father: H'lill (Lieutenant Commander), a Starfleet officer who served as a science officer and first officer aboard the USS Yamaguchi, which was lost at Wolf 359. Presumed lost in the battle against the Borg, H'lill and the Yamaguchi showed up abruptly in deep space again in 2391, having been held in a museum, of sorts, by one of the Q entities since 2363. Biologically, he is now only four years older than his son.

Mother: Vry'shra, his mother, currently works at the Terra Nova Federation colony.

Mei'konda is in a relationship with Lieutenant Commander Evan Delano, a half-Vulcan with whom he served when deployed on his last deep space assignment.

Educational History:
Mei'konda's early childhood was typical of a young man from Terra Nova, Caitian or not - his years as a baby were spent under the watchful eye of his mother. His father was only able to spend a small amount of time with him when he was an infant, when he was on leave.

Mere months after Mei'konda's birth, with the first Borg attack on the Federation looking unstoppable, Mei'konda's mother prepared to evacuate from the proximity of Earth along with many other Federation citizens. Then, available ships of the fleet were diverted to try to stop the Borg at Wolf 359. The Yamaguchi was one of those ships, and after the Ambassador class vessel was presumed destroyed with all hands, Mei'konda's mother was left to raise him alone. Stories of his father and of Starfleet were a staple of his upbringing.

As Mei'konda grew, he became determined to follow in H'lill's footsteps. He applied himself in school enough that he began to excel, and at sixteen, he was accepted to Starfleet Academy. With his interest in exploration, a specialty in navigation and astro sciences was natural for him, and he excelled in these fields as well as physical education, despite his small stature. The biological sciences were always Mei'konda's weakest subjects.

During his third year, he met a half-Vulcan student who was a year behind him, Evan Delano. What became a teacher/student relationship blossomed into something both physical and romantic, a relationship that endured until Mei'konda's graduation, in 2385.

Mei'konda's first assignment was to a deep space science vessel, the USS Far Reach, where he served as a helmsman for some time, before being promoted to Lieutenant JG and transferring to operations.

In 2388, he was promoted to full Lieutenant, and transferred to a Galaxy class starship, the USS Garuda, and served there as Chief of Operations until 2391. Having decided he needed a break from deep space, Mei'konda accepted a promotion to Lieutenant Commander and a position at Utopia Planitia, as assistant supervisor of a major refit of one of the first Galaxy class starships, the USS Astraeus.

With the refit well underway, Mei'konda began to feel the wanderlust that had led him to request a deep space assignment in the first place, and he put in a transfer request to an exploration vessel.

Medical History:
No noteworthy injuries, aside from the normal broken bones and diseases treated by the family doctor during his upbringing.
