“I find myself often thinking of those that built the first ships to traverse the oceans. I feel as if I’m in the same position.”

Biography
Ariel Sharif was born in space aboard a communal housing facility operated by Sitaara, a worker-owned cooperative specializing in battery production. Raised in a community where labor and life were inseparable, he grew up surrounded by the belief that collective effort could sustain entire societies.

Gifted in engineering from a young age, Ariel quickly distinguished himself with a blend of technical brilliance and pragmatic discipline. His talents brought him to Nova Zion, the emerging space nation, where spacecraft design became its economic lifeline. There, Ariel advanced to lead designer and eventually head of development and maintenance for the symphony fighters.

He would go on to design Nova Zion’s first original symphony fighter, the C-Sharp Major — a vessel he regards not only as an engineering triumph but also as a responsibility. For Ariel, every ship carries the weight of his comrades’ lives and the hopes of his nation.
