Personality & Manners

---

• Quarters:
• Habits:
  • When thinking, he often raises his head in the air.
  • Often tastes the air with his tongue to "smell" the environment when bored or deep in thought, or just in a new environment.
    • He also "tastes" the air to diagnose mechanical problems, as his tongue is incredibly sensitive. Examples include smelling burned circuitry, melted duranium, and the lingering odor of blood from a crewman's injury.
• Religion/Spiritual Devotion:
  • Pahkwa-thanh believe that all living things are sentient, whether they are animals or people. The difference is that they see animals and themselves as within the Circle of Life. They do not hunt other sapient beings as sapient life forms (aliens) do consider themselves outside the Circle of Life.
  • They revere the spirits of their prey.
• Hobbies and Pastimes: Likes to read tech manuals and tech magazines.
• Likes:
• Dislikes: Small spaces. Not claustrophobic, but his large size often makes it difficult to work in standard Federation environments. Everything feels small and cramped to him.
  • This also makes his job in Engineering more difficult as he cannot crawl through a ship's maintenance tubes like a humanoid; except on the rare ships where newer, larger maintenance tunnels are used.
• Ambitions and Goals:
• Temperament: Gentle, honorable, kind. "Gentle Giant" is a common euphemism to describe Pahkwa-thanhs.
• Mental problems (complexes and phobias):
• Physical Limitations: Great strength compared to humanoids. Powerful leg muscles allow him to run surprisingly fast. His tail can be used as a club, and his jaw can crush bone with ease. Ironically, he is considered smaller and weaker than Alpha and Beta male Pahkwa-thanhs. This makes it difficult for Xanti to attract a mate.
