"If this host dies on a Starfleet vessel, I lose a bet." - Safine Tan, moments before her "death" and the loss of her symbiont.

Biographical Information

• Date of Birth: 237012.26
• Place of Birth: Trill Prime

Appearance

---

• Height: 162.56cm (5'4")
• Weight: 54 kg (119.05 lbs)
• Hair Color: Dark
• Hair Style: Typically worn in a ponytail
• Eye Color: Brown
• Skin Tone: Lightly bronzed. Her face is sometimes sickly and she is wracked with occasional bouts of nausea, something she calls, "mourning sickness". Being un-joined is rough.
• Birthmarks, Scars: Safine Tan bears significant scarring around her pouch, which is a source of infection and regular sickness for her. Emanating from her pouch is a thick spiderweb of scars, burned nerve endings, that she hates and finds disgusting.
• Build: Thin and weak.
• Face: Safine's face has hardened as she's aged, and her injuries have taken a toll, but her jawline remains sharp enough to cut glass.
• Arms: Remarkably toned from pushing herself around all day.
• Legs: Thin and twig-like from atrophy.
• Handedness: Right

Personality

---

• Quarters: Safine's quarters are spartan and functional, adjusted for her wheelchair.
• Mannerisms: Safine's personality has hardened after her injury, but her life has continued. She now finds passion in the law, especially defending those who are being unfairly treated.
• Religion/Spiritual Devotion: None.
• Hobbies and Pastimes: An avid gardener (and only slightly embarrassed about it), Serren takes particular joy in cooking and preparing the food he has grown himself. Accordingly, his garden is almost all edible plants, berries, and (small) fruits; a recent addition is a trio of planters full of garlic.
• Likes: Cooking, gardening.
• Dislikes: Many thoughts from his past selves, who he feels are incompatible with who he is and his desires.
• Ambitions and Goals: Unlike Alleran, and definitely unlike Safine, Serren would love to command a ship one day.
• Temperament: Calm and collected, Serren rarely panics or loses his head, although since being joined these kinds of things have become more frequent. He is notably more honest and direct than previous

hosts which he concedes can cause problems, as many folk claim to value honesty, but sometimes become offended at the truth.

• Command Philosophy: A young officer with experience beyond his years due to his joined nature, Serren's professional philosophy is "the small stuff is the big stuff", determined to always make time for subordinates and help them through their issues, while making sure not to sit on -- or let simmer -- issues he may have himself.
• Mental problems (complexes and phobias):
  • Guilt - Serren feels an entirely inherited sense of guilt over the actions of Safine Tan, shot and crippled defending the USS Gorkon. Even though it was her actions and hers alone, and he was not even joined yet, he feels he let down the Captain, Quinn Reynolds. He's determined to make it up to her in time.
  • Aversion to violence - Probably because Safine was crippled in combat, Serren dislikes violence, blood, and gruesome injuries. On occasion, he has found himself unable to look at them, although in severe or extreme circumstances he can manage it.
• Physical Limitations: Taller than any previous host, and much stronger, Serren has already discovered that he's somewhat like a cat with its whiskers trimmed; he sometimes estimates that he can fit into places he simply can't.

Injury

---

Safine Tan's whole life was upended when she was on the wrong end of a Polaran weapon, on Deck

Missions

---

• Welcome to Dinotopia: Serren rode with the Captain and the First Officer during the tour. When an ion storm swept through the area and their vehicle was attacked by a wild T-Rex, the Captain ran out into the rain with a flare to distract the beast, just like Mikali sh'Shar might run away from someone to whom she owed money.
