History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Yocsello is an enthusiastic member of an enthusiastic species. They have had warp drive for less than ten years and were positively thrilled when one of their buoncane warp probes discovered another star fareing people right out of the gate. Yocsello was a young professional when this happened, and he applied at once for a job with the new people. Within a few year of his appointment to work on Oz his excellent work was recognized by his being sent as an Observer and Ambassador to Earth proper. This was upgraded to Councilor when Avaya joined the Federation.
Position: Avaya is in the Oz node, and is indeed the first of the nascent warp drive cultures of that area to achieve membership in the Federation. They and the Koo have the dubious honor of being the most far flung of the independent members of the Federation. This would not be counting the worlds of the Ane Confederation.
       Avaya being on the backside of BF Egypt, they do not stand forward in council as of yet. They feel that as of yet having little to offer, they should not be too forward with their opinions. Indeed Avaya has been unusually reluctant to vote any position in Council. Careful observations of what interests the Avaya Councilor has tentatively placed them in the "Gentlebeing" camp.
