Character Biography

Date of Birth: 5th June 2358

Born: Orlando, Florida, Earth

Appearance: Tall, powerfully built, white hair, black skin and dark Betazoid eyes.

Father: Enzo Pucci, born in 2322 on the planet Terralysium, the descendant of the First Saved, temporally-displaced humans from the year 2058 who arrived on Terralysium due to the actions of the Red Angel, having escaped the nuclear holocaust of World War 3. Enzo was the first pilot of Terralysium’s warp-capable ship, The Dawn of Heaven in reference and tribute to the figure that saved their ancestors. Due to the gravity of a quantum singularity damaging the dilithium matrix, the Dawn of Heaven went far faster than it was supposed to and was slingshot around the black hole, towards the Alpha Quadrant.

Mother: Revradi Run, born on the 4th of September 2326 on Medara, Betazed. She is the daughter of the Thirteenth House and Keeper of the Ancient Relics, referring to her family and it’s history of guarding important historical objects on Betazed. She left Betazed at the age of 19 with her human boyfriend and enrolled in Starfleet, the couple soon breaking up after he cheated on her. Assigned to the USS Ventura, an Intrepid-Class Deep Space Science Ship as a Science Junior Officer before becoming Chief Science Officer.

They met when the Ventura encountered the Dawn of Heaven on the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrant in 2350, with Enzo being alive but comatose due to shock. Revradi and Enzo met in 10 Forward where she became his mentor, to help him catch up to the rest of Starfleet as well as providing some counselling about being unable to return to his home planet of Terralysium. She also learned about the religion of Terralysium, they slowly began dating on the holodeck using holographic recreations of various cities and eras, with Enzo being enraptured by America. After returning to Earth and joining Starfleet himself, Enzo quickly worked his way up the ranks and married Revradi in 2355, the couple spending some time together in Florida, where they had their first “date” on the Holodeck.

Revradi soon fell pregnant with Enzo’s child and gave birth to Enrico Pucci, her mother and father being present. Enrico’s childhood was a happy one, although it wasn’t always stable due to his parents going from ship to ship with rarely any other children to play with. He entertained himself on the holodeck and was noted to be a quiet and observant child, though not particularly talkative or approachable. Due to bullying for being a “mixling” by Darius Macnair, the son of racist parents who held the belief that all aliens should be kicked off the Earth and that humanity should take an imperial, expansionist path, he discovered a talent for martial arts, putting Darius in the hospital after punching him and Darius hitting his head in the fall on a metal railing. His mother was upset that he didn’t tell a teacher, while Enzo was proud that Enrico stood up for himself.

Having learnt of his father’s new beliefs that the Red Angel who saved the WW3 humans is a powerful alien, Enrico developed a spiritual awakening and has a slight hobby of trying to prove his father right about the Red Angel existing. At the age of 14, Enrico suffered a tragedy when his younger adoptive sister, Perla Pucci died on Surata IV after her shuttlecraft crashed there, she was attacked by predatory vines and died from the infection.

He got very good grades despite his occasional temper, and soon entered Starfleet Academy and showed an interest in Security as a healthy outlet for his problems managing his anger and his desire to protect the communities he found himself in. Becoming a potent member of Security with good tactical decisions and a reassuring presence, Enrico does his best in the situation he is in.
