Naota
Only Male

Place of Origin: Earth 2

Outwardly indistinguishable from a “tweenage” human male, Naota hails from a duplicate Earth and is an ethnic Maori from the New Zealand of his world. With a bronze complexion, brown hair and eyes, he has a stereotypical Polynesian appearance.

Outspoken, overconfident, and full of energy, Naota is an adrenaline junkie who loves all things aerospace and aviation. Sociable and outgoing, he tends to be the loudest voice in the room despite being the smallest person in it.

One of the juvenile survivors of the viral holocaust that took place on Miri’s Planet which killed all the adults across the planet (ST:TOS “Miri”), Naota was survived for some 300 years prior to rescue by the intervention of Starfleet crews dispatched by order of Captain James Kirk on stardate 2713.5 (2266). Discovered in the Auckland region of New Zealand, Naota had survived a considerable amount of time by himself and required decades of rehabilitation in order to reintegrate into the planned education program.

Non-communicative for much of that rehabilitation, and answering to “boy” as he didn’t appear to recall his name, a clinical social worker of Japanese decent gave him the name “Naota” (meaning amber, or hard-headed) in reference to the boy’s obstinance and the name stuck.

Delayed behind some of the more talented Onlies due to the rehabilitation and socialization required, Naota lagged behind his peers in achieving many educational milestones. He struggled with education until he discovered a passion for aviation, which developed first as a hobby and evolved into a professional career. His major breakthrough came in the 2354 Antarian Interstellar Rally. Breaking the three-year streak of the prior champion, Naota surprised the racing world with a dark horse victory in his first major race.
