Seth Juvum is a 40 year old, Half-Bajoran, Half-Human who was born without knowing his race's enslavement. 2332, he was born on Luna, Earth's moon. His mother, Christine Juvum, was human, and he never knew his father- Sholan Juvum. His mother fled Bajor after getting 'caught' in the occupation and presumed dead, until she got a distress call out to the federation. They demanded her release, and the Cardassians ultimately let her go. Unknown to everyone aside from Christine and Sholan, she was pregnant.
Growing up wasn't too hard for Seth or Christine. The federation provided everything a young boy needed- hobbies, exercise, and perhaps a bit too much education. At age 19, he learned and truly understood what it was to be Bajoran. His entire kind was enslaved, and Starfleet could do nothing about it.
He was frustrated. Angry. Disappointed. Depressed. He ignored his studies and did personal research into Bajoran culture, soon learning about his religious heritage. Seth then crafted his own earring around this time. He quickly engrossed himself in the practices, and decided that he could only do so much praying. At age 22, Seth enrolled at Starfleet academy, determined to make a difference in the world.
He refused special treatment in any way- he did not accept specialized classes, and did not attend any clubs. Every spare moment he wasn't being taught or was studying was spent researching Bajoran and Cardassian culture and history. He graduated 438th out of 1300 in his class, assigned to a science vessel as it's pilot. He strove for excellence, even in a limited job like that, hoping to become an admiral and
do something for his people.
He never got his chance however- during his first command on a deep space science vessel, the USS Ferox, he heard of Bajor's liberation. He spent the next few days slacking in his duties, until his first officer gave him a pep talk. He then realized that although Bajor was free, there was much in terms of recovery and healing. He continued his work with a new drive, and was commended on his work when he returned from the assignment.
Seth's next assignment- captain the USS Grandeur.
Appearence:
The nose ridges are less prominent, but still discernible on his ever determined face. His reddish hair is short, only a half-dozen centimeters long or so. Seth stands at 5'9" with perfect posture. His eyes are light brown, and his build is lean, but not unhealthy. His Bajoran earring hangs from his left ear, and he has special permission to wear it by Starfleet command.
Quick note: the Ferox was not his first assignment as captain. He's had two previous commands- the USS Shokin, and the USS Fearless.
