The Nguyen family is one of the largest in Funan and as a
result the list of prominent Nguyen is long indeed. When Thu's childish obsession with Anima culture fired his
interest in science and caused his previously mediochre score in such fields to
jet ahead of the curve, his parents proudly encouraged his interests, secure in
the knowledge that he could become an engineer or a researcher. About the only thing that displeased his
mother was the speed and fluency with which he took to piloting, finding his
happiness high amongst the clouds, but to his father, a commercial pilot, this
made perfect sense and the issue was defused at home before Thu even knew it
existed. It was after a misadventure in
college that his Latency was noticed by the Rex assigned to treat him. His parents were a little taken aback by
this new possibility to say the least!
No one in their immediate family had ever had any such psionic latency
and they quietly thought it somewhat 'inappropriate.' His mother in particular had visions of his being co-opted into
the Legions, the Ministry or even the scary Norça and being lost to them
forever. So when he chose to join the
Aesculapians and become a worker on biotechnological vessels and devices, they
were puzzled by the turn, but accepted it with a sigh of relief.
Ultimately Thu would like to work on the mighty jumpships,
but to date his most prominent 'patient' has been an Orgotek Scarab, usually
being relegated to tamer fare such Locusts, Cicada, Mantis, Hummingbirds or the
larger bioapps such as ARES pods or Somatic Imaging Systems. So long as he does not get bumped into
repairing peoples biolasers or curing unhealthy Chargers or AquaLungs, he is
happy. Someday he would like to be able
to have some bioapps of his own, but his current line of work all-but requires
him to be able to Format to his patient, and his patients are usually
*big.* He has access to the equipment
that is required to expunge his link to the large bioapps and ships that he
typically bonds to, but he cannot simply abuse this equipment at his whim, nor
is the process easy.
He enjoys 'testing' the equipment that he repairs and
maintains, most especially in the case of biofighters and craft.
