Aurelius Flynn

Aurelius Flynn always dreamt of the stars. When he was young, he'd look up at them, imagining the excitement of travelling amongst them and learning their secrets and the secrets of those who once inhabited their worlds, aeons ago. He studied science all through school and when he was old enough to finally attend university, he couldn't wait. That astronomy degree would be his!

Sadly, he didn't pass the qualifying tests. Undaunted, he found his way into a company where he was able to put his interest to work. He became a field researcher on a planet out in the Spinward Marches, expanding his astronomy knowledge and archaeology knowledge, delving into ancient alien finds.

However, his project was sabotaged by parties unknown! His research was all destroyed, as was most of his equipment. Left with nothing, he was fortunate that the company kept him on.

This time, knowing that there were those opposed to his research, he maintained strict security. This was now a top secret project within the company, as it was learned that millions of years ago, this planet had been massively engineered by some powerful, unknown technology. He was prepared to go public with it.

Eight years he worked on this project, but a change in government made it fall out of favor. When Flynn refused to cease his research, or even hide it, he was forced to flee the planet, as he and his entire team were marked for death by the new government.

Now 38, even though his pension and investments are more than enough to pay for his cost of living, he needs to remain ahead of any bounty hunters that could be on his trail. Thus, he joined a few acquaintances in crewing a small ship.
