BACKGROUND
Ratzmuridan "Ratz" Dourop was born into a large family in 2257, the youngest of seven children of Ageromosh Dourap, a certified accountant on Tellar, and his medical administrator wife, Goonoori. Brilliant even by his famiily's overachieving standards, Ratz was fast-tracked into a a rigorous academic program. His days and nights were filled with studies; while it had the desired effect of preparing the young Tellarite for his chosen career, it also deprived him of any form of childhood. As a result, all he knew was that he was the smartest Tellarite in the room and he acted accordingly.

Finishing his collegiates by the age of 14, Ratz entered medical university, graduating with a degree in alien medicine (with human specialty) within three years. He was then old enough to apply for Starfleet Academy and was accepted immediately. Even there, Ratz considered himself the smartest being in the room, backed up by stellar academic performance and praise from his instructors. However, he frequently found himself in heated arguments with his classmates; although none ever came to blows, Ratz slowly ostracized himself from his fellow cadets as bad blood and grudges began to form.

Dourap graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2277, again in three years, while simultaneously completing his internship at the academy hospital. His bedside manner was, frankly, atrocious, and his superiors recommended him for research duty. Dourap found himself first at a Vulcan Science Academy medical research station in Vulcana Regar, where he spent a couple months earning his Vulcan internal medicine residency (about the maximum length of time his superiors could tolerate him interacting with patients); he then transferred to Denobula as part of the Federation Medical Exchange.

Following a two-year stint at Starfleet Medical on Earth (where he completed his Andorian specialty and further alienated his colleagues with his frequent correction of diagnoses), Ratz was transferred to Starbase 11 in 2284 as the senior research medical officer, where he reunited with one of his few close friends, Lt. Cmdr. John Farrell. In early 2287, while Ratz was off duty, he encountered a coolant leak near the personnel section of the starbase. Without regard to personal safety and relying on his innate resistance to toxins, the doctor rushed in to find his friend slumped over his desk, unconscious. Ratz removed Farrell from the area and performed life-saving first aid.

Ratz was decorated for his heroism, and Farrell offered to do anything to repay him. Dourap's only wish was to actually get posted to a ship. His friend and ally obliged, assigning Ratz to USS Drake as she was en route to a survey mission beyond Caitian space. After spending a couple months acclimating to the ship and shadowing Lt. Hunter (whom he replaced), Ratz stepped full time into his new role as an attending physician. Following Dr. Welch's retirement, he was assigned as chief surgeon of the Drake.

Ratz's eldest sibling is Barnangor Dourap, a member of a regional judicial commission on Tellar.
