He may want to get back at people who have been awful to him (maybe cheated him out of some money or something), but eventually he'll realize that his heart isn't in it and in the end he'll decide not to get revenge. I have attempted to write a bit more about why Ari was chosen to go to Earth (not yet about his reasons, however.. still working on that.) Sadly, as I suck at both naming and creating species (I may need help with this) I just refer to them as "They" and "Alien" in this...

They are sent to planets in order to learn about the dominant species of that planet and their culture, as well as the going-ons of that planet. This is done in order to better determine which planets may become allies or foes when they gain the ability of space travel.

They cannot return home until their planet has found a suitable replacement for them, the exception being that they were caught. Should they decide to return home, the exception being if they returned because they were caught, they will gain benefits such as access to more resources.

The only requirements in order to be chosen for this mission are that you must have applied to a country that has either not exceeded the maximum amount of alien occupants or has an alien occupant that has sent in a request to return home, you must know the language of the area you have chosen, and you must not have any previous or current record of crime.

They are sent to a random town in the country they applied for. Up to 3 Aliens may be in the same country at once, each stationed in different towns. There is an exception to this rule for countries that have states, such as the United States of America, in which case, one alien per two states will be deployed.
