Early Years

Otto Kipler was born on the planet of Cerea to a wealthy and upstanding family. His father Ki-Arim Kipler served on the Council of Elders and Otto received anything and everything that he ever wanted. Otto lived in Tecave City growing up, and was trained in all of the classical and modern practices. As customary to his race, learning was no issue to him, as his enlarged cranial region and brain made his intelligence well above average compared to humans.
Later in his life, Otto did not find the life set before him to be the one in which he wanted to follow. He found no pleasure in serving in local government as his father did; he sought adventure. He found that adventure in joining the Falleen Navy. He had no military experience or training, but he found the prospect of piloting space vessels and going into battle something riveting and worth pursuing. Upon joining as a lowly Petty Officer, Otto worked hard in all aspects of his work. Over time, he grew in his responsibilities and after five years of service to the Falleen Federation, he was promoted to Rear Admiral and given command of an entire Naval Fleet. He, eventually, was also knighted within the federation, making him quite the up and coming officer.

Serving the Trade Federation

It was only at that time did he begin to find discontent within his current condition and posting. His dream of adventure and becoming a Naval officer had come true, but the faction in which he had served no longer felt like home to him. He began to disagree with decisions of the high command, and felt that he could no longer be a part of his former command. After much thinking and anguish, Otto left the Falleen Federation and took a hiatus from the military. After almost a year, Kipler has been brought to a new and exciting place in his career - the Trade Federation...

Life after the Derra Virus

Otto was struck, suddenly with the dangerous and deadly Derra virus. He fell deathly ill for short time but was able to, with the help of the Trade Federation Medical Department, recover fully. Unfortunately, due to the symptoms of this illness, Otto emerged a Hapan man; no longer the Cerean that all of his peers knew. It was a difficult transition for him, but he has learned to adjust and live with is differences now.
