Biography (optional): Riyo was born and raised during the Occupation on Bajor. His mother was a doctor, and when his father joined the Resistance, she started an underground clinic to patch up the fighters. When Riyo was 10 years old, his mother decided he was old enough to learn, and started teaching him medicine so he could help out in the clinic. By the time he was 18 he was doing everything short of surgeries on his own. When he was 20, the Cardassians found - and destroyed - the clinic, along with all the medical supplies so they couldn't start over. His parents strongly recommended he join Starfleet, so at least someone in the family could continue doing some good. So he departed for Earth to join Starfleet Academy and medical school, and he hasn't been back to Bajor since.

He was transferred to Front Ear several months before meeting Leanna Mazal. They very quickly fell in love, and he's stepped easily into the role of father for her two children.

Twice in his life - once during the Occupation, and once during the Dominion War, he was forced to make a decision that has haunted him through nightmares. With Leanna's unwavering support, he's begun seeking therapeutic treatment and is making steady progress.
