==Personal History==

Riley was born 2357 on Betazed. He was a thoughtful child, the one his friends came to for decisions when there was any sort of dispute. He was extremely well-spoken at a young age and while he had lots of friends, he was never the wild sort. When he went on to Starfleet Academy, he discovered that science was a natural choice, given his curiosity about the universe. He served on the Student Council, becoming President of it his senior year. He was also on the Academy swim team and one of its stars, though the popularity seemed to affect him very little. He always remained down to earth and friendly.

Upon graduation, he was assigned to the USS Oppenheimer as a science officer. His specialty is plasma dynamics. It was also on the Oppenheimer that he met Layla, the Andorian bartender. In typical Riley fashion, Layla overwhelmed him. He grew attached to her but it was not to be. They remained friends, however, despite her eventual mating with the chief of his department. A few months later, Layla and her new husband departed for Vulcan, and while he missed Layla, he was somewhat relieved.

Riley remained on the Oppenheimer, and served well, assisting in some important discoveries in his field. He was eventually promoted first to Lieutenant (jg.), then to Lieutenant when he became the Assistant Chief Science Officer. He had a short stint on the USS Evariste, where he once again worked with his former department Chief. He has now been recruited, an opportunity that he’s quite excited about, to serve as Chief Science Officer aboard the Hammond, attached to SB900.
