Mu'ad Diib was born to radical hippie star pilots, Jormung and Anig, in an asteroid belt in the eastern spiral arm of the Milky Way. Growing up in a starbase where Strontium Clathrate pricing was loudly argued over gave him a good awareness of sociolinguistics as well as a love of silence.
He attended a school for geniuses/disturbed mutants with 'special' needs near the galactic rim, passing in astrophysics, spoken/written Orgata and technical illustration. He then studied at the Betelgeusian Academy of Communications graduating in spaceship graphics, (NB: distinctly different to capsule interior design). His favourite colour is pink. Or maybe purple or blue.
Growing up with SpLD gave him a slightly cynical view of well meaning officials, teachers, soothsayers and other dubious types, (eg: capsule interior designers) but he survived and is, generally speaking, an optimistic cosmonaut.
When not playing EVE he collects tribbles and is working on constructing a 1/1 scale working model of a Minmatar Molok capital ship from Macaroni. He also has a soft spot for zero-g Holstein cows - awkward, amusing and cute all at the same time..
