History

Rioan was born to a respected Bajoran starfleet archaeologist named Mellar Kellan and Federation diplomatic officer Maura McClain during a scientific conference on the 2nd moon of Andor. He was named in the Bajoran tradition and keeps it till this day.

As the son of a diplomat and archaeologist, He grew up well traveled in educated in the histories and customs of multiple worlds which he enjoyed. He didn't enjoy however not seeing his parents most of the time which continued until his 15th birthday when his parents decided to station together on earth to spend time with each other more as a family. They all were still on good terms save for the time when Rioan came out of the closet when he was 16 which still remains a sensitive subject with his father.

Around that time, he developed a rebellious streak . It was mostly minor escapades such as vandalism and speeding. It wasn't until he hacked the public comm system at starfleet academy during commencement to play 'I got a lovely bunch of coconuts' whenever one of the guest speakers said "and in conclusion", that he was forced to make a choice between joining the academy or spend 3 years on the Spica 3 penal colony.

Mostly to get away from home as well as avoid jail, he applied for the academies sciences division , double majoring in xeno-archaeology and interstellar physics . He focused on his studies hard to put the commencement event behind him, much to his families joy and his own sense of feeling he could belong in starfleet if nowhere else.

It was after graduation on his 2nd duty assignment on an archaeological dig on Andoria that he fell in love with Lt. Morgan O'Neil who was aid to the federation envoy. Due to certain political issues and the aides family, they were forced to break it off much to Rioans heartbreak .

He was transferred back to earth where he immersed himself in his work , acquiring a fondness for ancient earths entertainments. He worked at starfleets base in London in their sciences division until his current assignment
