Pasto Nix

Childhood and Early Life
Pasto was born to Nela and Toum Nix on Vulcan. His parents were there visiting colleges at the time, and he happened to be born then. Both Toum and Nela worked at the Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems facility around 40 Eridani A. Due to a minor health concern that needed to wait to be treated until he was 12, he was homeschooled on Vulcan for that part of his life. He did grow up in the more diverse parts of Vulcan, but he had a hard time making friends, seeding a sense of loneliness in him. Once his health issue had been corrected, he moved back with his family to the shipyards around 40 Eridani A. Still there he had a hard time making close friends, but he learned as he grew into his teens that people found him quite attractive. This in mind he became a bit of a prolific heartbreaker. The joke was that he had dated everyone on the station, though that wasn't nearly true. This reputation had the side effect of compounding his loneliness and giving him a bit of a fear of intimacy. As he grew older he became distant from the station's populace and wanted to get away and do something more.

Academy Years
He decided to apply his top notch engineering education and apply to Starfleet Academy, hoping the diversity would allow him to feel more at home. Again however, he fell into the role of 'the pretty one.' Halfway into his first year he decided to lean into it. He didn't need anything real, just the thrill of the moment. If he was going to be labeled the player was going to be damn good at it. Eventually he earned a bit of fame and even more rumors with the rest of his time at the academy.

Early Service Years
He graduated the academy and was assigned to the USS Lisbeth Moore for 3 years, keeping up his reputation until a particularly nasty break up with a co-worker led him being transferred to the USS Grand Rapid, a ship that people got assigned to when they caused trouble. After a year of proving he could, in fact, behave for extended amounts of time he was transferred to a position in the USS Providence.
