Early Life
Born into poverty, Otis’s parents made the difficult decision to trade him to the Banu who in turn absolved them of their debts. Growing up, Otis worked in various Souli, learning the Banu way of life and their culture of trade. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that landed Otis amongst the Banu, he developed a deep appreciation for their way of life. While he was forced to work for the Banu, Otis found himself fascinated by their culture, language, and overall demeanor. He would spend what little free time he had learning about Banu history, customs, and language, and would even go on to form close friendships with some of the Banu he worked alongside.

Working with the Banu
Over the years, Otis would go on to work for various Souli, each with their own unique needs. At some point, one of the Souli he worked for needed a pilot and from then on, Otis was the one they would turn to whenever they needed anything transported, shipped, or anything involving piloting various vehicles. Otis learned to pilot a variety of vehicles, from small hovercraft to massive cargo ships, and became adept at navigating through every environment imaginable; from dense urban areas to open desert, frozen tundra’s, and deep space patrolled by the likes of XenoThreat, Nine Tails, and other less than savory groups.

Military Career
In 2943, at the age of 17 Otis felt a calling to enlist with the United Empire of Earth Navy after hearing of renewed reports of Nine Tails activity coming out of the Stanton System. Otis’s time in the Navy was marked by a number of significant events; in 2945, just two years after joining the Navy, the UEE Senate made an official declaration of war with the Vanduul clans after their incursion into Vega. Immediately Otis was sent to the front, going from system to system based on where he was needed most. In March of 2946, Otis was sent to the Oberon System in what would later be known as Operation Mandrake, the first major victory against the Vanduul in the war. By October, Otis had proven himself in the line of duty and was transferred to the Militia Mobilization Initiative to help train the public to defend themselves against the Vanduul.

Focusing on Change
Otis’s experiences in the military would go on to have a profound impact on him. He’d seen firsthand the destruction and devastation that war could bring, and came to believe that there had to be a better way to resolve conflicts. It was at this point in his career that Otis began to advocate for peace and diplomacy, dedicating much of his time to promoting peaceful relations between different species. Despite what he’d seen in the military, Otis never forgot his roots. He remained close with the Banu, something that he would use as a backdrop to further peaceful negotiations with other species.

Naja Echó
In February of 2952, Otis was approached by an organization by the name of Naja Echó; a group of individuals who had also either been born into the culture, or traded to work for the Banu and had managed to earn their freedom. As Otis became more and more involved with Naja Echó, it quickly became apparent that something in his life would need to change. It was at this point that Otis took a step back from the Navy, entering into a reserve position so that he would still maintain his rank, but without the burden of having to report his workings with Naja Echó.

Present Day
Today Otis is an Usouli with Naja Echó and is primarily focused on their Transportation and Fleet Services.
