Katy Orman: Difference between revisions

Katy is a shy person; this is often at odds with how confident she is when she's in her element.  In social situations she tends to be quiet and retiring.  In order to become acquainted with her, a person generally has to seek her out.  Once the ice is broken, Katy is a very engaging person in small groups.</p>

# Her pheromones are more potent than a Human's, but not half so much as a full Orion female's.  Their potency increases as her body temperature increases (due to concentrating in her sweat), when in the presence of competing pheromones, and also when she is ovulating.  Despite their comparative weakness, her pheromones have gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion, so she uses a daily dose of hormone suppressants to keep them at a minimal level.

<p>Katy is accomplished in an unusual martial art she calls Shiji Gungfu, which she claims to have been trained in since childhood.  She seems to be quite skilled with it, having reached the finals of [[The Clashing]].</p>

<p>She knows a number of meditative disciplines, which include limited control over otherwise unconscious body function.</p>

Katy's office on the starbase is on deck 512, the same deck as one of the main security offices, near the main brig.  It is still sparsely-furnished and has three doors - a door to the corridor outside, a door to the adjoining security office, and (most vital of all, in Katy's thinking) a door to a small private lavatory.  The second door she often keeps in open position, just to facilitate interaction with the other security officers on duty.   

Her quarters are a cozy one-bedroom apartment in the habitat section, deck 905.  It doesn't really look lived-in yet.  She's too used to living out of a rucksack to have filled it with much stuff.  Due to not being home very often, it's fairly messy, with discarded laundry lying about randomly.  Her kitchen, however, is spotless, due to its state of pretty-much-never-being-used.

<p>Her [[Ormans_First_Sim|first assignment]] came in August, 2384, to the [[USS Resolution]].  There, she learned a great deal about teamwork and leadership, and formed her own hazard team.  In October of 2386, upon the dissolution of that crew, she was reassigned to the USS [[Eagle]], where she was to find some familiar faces.</p>

<p>A traumatic confrontation onboard the Eagle caused her to take an extended leave of absence after a panic attack at the end of shore leave.  Upon returning to duty in June of 2387, she joined the USS [[Victory]] on a rescue mission to find the missing Eagle.  She served as Chief of Security on the Victory until a poisoning on an away mission caused her to behave strangely, [[Orman_Waking_Up_Again|attacking a Cardassian crewmember]] - an event she has no memory of.</p>

<p>After that, Katy joined an illegal fighting tournament known as The Clashing, and began moving up through the ranks.  It was this that brought her back to [[Starbase 118]] in August of 2388, where during a terrorist action she once again was [[Orman_Once_But_Not_Now|drawn into Starfleet events]].</p>
