Arrian is a current member of OCESS. He joined in 2008-09 as a grade nine and is yet to be on a mission although, he has been a simulator in 2008-09 and was in MC as a mission specialist during the 2009-10 mission.
Background
Arrian was born in Ottawa in 1994 and attended Kindergarten to Grade 5 at Manor Park Public School he then attended his first years in the "Gifted Program" (Grades 6 through 8) at Hawthorne Public school. He now attends Lisgar Collegiate Institute and plans to finish Grade 12 there.
Time in OCESS
Grade Nine
Since joining OCESS, Arrian has spent a great deal of time helping out starting with the moving from the old room in 440 Albert to the new room. Arrian helped out with the sifting through the old computers taking valuable parts from old ones and doing his duty as a PC Gamer to rid the Earth of Apple Computers starting with one at OCESS which was brutally abused by a Hammer to the dismay of Admiral Magwood. Arrian also helped out with the general packing up of the old room and the moving to the new room. Arrian was their to see the old room dustless as well as the new room dustless. Once the new habitat was setup Arrian helped out with the installation of computers, and thus over the year became more proficient in the repair of computers. For the mission of 2008-09 Arrian participated as a simulator although due to the lack of people in MC he ended up running MC more then doing duties as a Simulator. During the mission Arrian also created one of the most memorable moments in the mission, the "Circles Don't Turn Moment" in which Arrian looked at Telemetry to see what appeared to be the habitat turning inside of AYSE and used CAPCOM to scold the astros, but it ended up backfiring as it turned out the habitat was attached to AYSE. If one looks to the Official and UnOfficial logs of Genesis 2009 one will find many references made to this event by Ian Martin. As the school year came to a close, Arrian's marks in English were falling, and this is the main contributing factor to why Arrian has been absent at so many Worksessions.
Grade Ten
In grade ten although Arrian missed many, many worksessions, he still worked hard on the home front, helping out with the Spacesim week of hype and trying hard to benefit how ever he could. As the second semester of school came up, Arrian started helping out more by helping out with the all important "General Application For Sponsorship" and making up the "Network Video interface Proposal". For the 2009-2010 mission, Arrian will be participating as a "Mission Specialist" or a person who is the subordinate of the Flight Director. Leading up to, and during the mission, Arrian worked on the video task force. One of the many things he did in this task force was design and build a switch to attach the multiple video feeds to one television on the Simulator Loft. By the end of the 2009-10 school year, Arrian plans to get his average up so that his parents will longer have a reason to question the time he spends at OCESS.
Callsign
Arrian currently has no official callsign.
Life Outside Sim
Outside of Spacesim, Arrian lives a simple life of Procrastination, PC Gaming, and drinking obscene amounts of Cola. Arrian also enjoys assorted Hacking, tweaking, and watching television. When Arrian is not doing this he is usually helping his stepfather out with assorted chores.
