Lyran – Regent to Inner Earth

You are showing yourself as a young adult at the beginning of your Regent training when you work and live on Tarrtarsu Station. This is the first time you’ve lived away from family. Tarrtarsu Station is a large trade port. Here you begin learning about business and commerce. Your greatest joy is meeting so many varied species of people; your teachers note that you have great ease around others. Not all Regents work with the people. All Regents, when going through their trainings, are kept track of what brings them joy and what they excel in.   

There are many Regents, as they are the firstborn males of all families. You are of a smaller group who will not be Regents their entire lives, as they will take over the Council Seats that their fathers hold, along with other responsibilities. One day, you assume your Father’s Councilor position, just as he did with his Father. Your particular familial lineage calls for the firstborn males to work with the Inner Earth Alliance as protectors of portals and landgridders who are seeding new life. This requires you to travel back and forth from Lyra to Earth often, as well as traveling for meetings with Pleadians, Andromedans, and Sirians. 
Part of your preparation to lead is learning all aspects of the community you help to oversee. On Lyra, you spend time learning from Lyran farmers, scientists, artists, educators, inventors, etc. You study under Lyrian elders the history of your people, as the Lyrian are the oldest descendants. Many Lyrian Regents offer their guidance to you. You observe Black Lyrians skilled in martial arts and magic; Black Lyrians are an elite group who protect the people. You have a high regard for those with innate gifts unique to them, and you are honored to be able to observe short missions that would not place you in danger. 

You are assigned to a Black Lyrian female, highly trained and skilled, whom you fall in love with and have a child. Because of your different backgrounds, it is considered a conflict of interest to take her as a mate; a Black Lyrian is responsible for protecting the people and Lyrian governance equally. Your child and relationship are not overlooked or looked down upon, and no one is treated poorly; it is just a fact of how the society has been structured. 

You never mate and are very present in your son’s life. Your work keeps you away often, so he lives with his mother who you remain close friends with. When he is a youth, you offer him the lineage option to take your Council Seat if he so chooses. Because he is half Black Lyrian, he has his mother’s gifts to develop, and he may be better utilized as a protector. 

Your time in service to the Council is a life well deserved. Your legacy, beyond your son, is to be a father-like figure to many you serve. For you, the people are your family.
