Arya Delacroix spent his childhood aboard the Last Frontier and was 22 years old when the spaceship landed on VOI 700 D. His family, known for their exceptional farming abilities, were initially assigned farmland during the Beta Age by GAIA. Under their stewardship, the family managed what became the largest crop plantation within the Free State of Settlers, contributing significantly to the region’s agricultural output.

However, after the Peace Treaty and the introduction of Communardism, the plantation was seized by the Federal Confederation as part of the government’s efforts to redistribute resources equitably. This loss deeply shaped Arya’s outlook, fueling his alignment with the Individualist Party and his belief in self-reliance and property rights. Despite this setback, Arya chose to remain in Hope, dedicating himself to ensuring its resilience and autonomy under his leadership as Local Sheriff.
