History:
Ryan was born on October 12th 2356 to parents Elisha and Travis Milarno in New York City on Earth. At the age of 4, Ryan and his family moved to Betazoid and lived in the capital city of Medara. He found the transition from Earth to Betazed very difficult, even at the age of 4 he knew that he and his family were different. When it came down to going to school he and his brothers and sisters would always fight with their parents to try and get out of going; it worked a few times, but eventually they wanted to know why they didn't want to go to school. And it was because it was a strange planet to them - afterall they didn't grow up on Betazed, the only place they knew was New York City. They had no friends, and the ones they did have, they had to leave behind on Earth.

After a while he had gotten used to the environment and the society in which he now lived. He carried on with school, made some life-long friends and carried on to secondary school and then college. At the age of 18, Ryan decided to enrol to Starfleet Academy on Earth, it wasn't maybe his first choice but like a lot of people, he followed his friends, the prospect of Starfleet Academy was never really Ryan's top priority; he was brought up into a family of Starfleet academy graduates. Sometimes there was a lot of pressure on him to join Starfleet when he didn't even want too. But he joined, and strangely he began to really like it, and it was a good job he did like it, otherwise, he may not be the man he is today.
During his time in the academy, it was a very eye-opening experience for him. For one he had met his first love, a girl named Sara. They were together for eighteen months before splitting up and secondly he lost his virginity while he was there, so he has fond memories of those days.
After graduating from the academy with excellent grades, in medical and counselling, piloting and command courses he then applied to join Starfleet Medical, to get a feel for what it was really like.
While he was at the academy, he was informed that his father died; from that moment his life has not been the same.
A year or so later his mother married a Trill, a man named Rodez Rix who had a son already from a previous marriage, his name is Errin Rix. Ryan and Errin have never really got on, they have mostly competed against each other.  
 
After a further year at Starfleet Medical, he didn't feel like he was getting what he wanted from the experience, so he requested the position of assistant chief medical officer on the USS Tripoli.
The request was granted, not only because of his excellent medical skills but because of some great references from admirals he had known from the academy and Starfleet medical.
Upon joining the USS Tripoli he was given the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. And he would continue to serve on the ship for four great years, creating relationships and even more great friends for life.
He is currently assigned to Deep Space 5 as the Chief Medical Officer.
