Orphaned at a young age, Vycter Aerav found a fondness of machines. They were predictable, unlike people. If they were broke, he could tear them apart and fix it. Unlike people.
As he grew older he became knowledgeable on weapon systems, targetting, and engineering. He landed himself a very well paying spot aboard a Caldari capital ship as a weapon's engineer. He lived a good life onboard, seeing the universe, fighting against the Gallente, and living his best life the way he wanted to.

But, then they were ambushed. Vycter was barely able to escape into a poor corvette class ship. Thus beginning his career as a capsuleer.
