In the year 2386, the human Ryan was born in a med bay in Little Sicily on Deep Space Nine (DS9). Exhibiting art prowess early, Ryan would go on to be recognized and awarded at art exhibits on DS9 into their early teens.
After graduating from the academy, they decided to document former 21st century Earth sites utilizing an old piece of technology called a camera. After several practice missions, Ensign Ryan earned their initial commission and traveled around the Beta quadrant their ancient camera in tow.
Unfortunately, in 2414, tragedy struck during an away mission and Lieutenant Ryan was sucked into a space time rift only to be assimilated by the Borg. Luckily, during the assimilation process, Ryan convinced the Borg to just take some CBD, focus on self-care, and practice box breathing. Thus 2 of 3, the artist formerly called Ryan, used the Borg's time travel technology to attempt to get back to 2414.
Like most time travel stories, space time was not forgiving and in the irony of all ironies, Ryan instead got stuck on 21st century Earth. They now display their art in the hope of educating others and one day getting home.
