{{Heading|Appearance|Gold}}
Hsina was born 107-years-ago in Iraq to an Iraqi father and a Greek mother, the youngest of four children.  Hsina's farther was a police officer in Baghdad, and was killed in the line of duty when Hsina was only 6-years-old.  Her mother, a medical doctor, raised Hsina and her siblings until Hsina was 13, at which time she literally slipped and fell down a flight of stairs, to her death.  At that time, Hsina was the only minor child, her sister Nuri the next youngest was already 23-years-old, and a police officer like their father. Her other sister, Samira, took her own life days after the death of their mother.

* [[(Name of character)]]
Hsina was taken in by brother Uday, who was something of a nut-job, but a very tough nut-job who made his living as a professional boxer and an amateur drunk.
(Description Here)-->


{{Heading|Family|Gold}}


Parents:
While Hsina's upbringing was disjointed and unconventional, she remained very close to her two surviving siblings as she grew up and while always a social misfit, was also always an exceptional student. She graduated from high school at age 16 and college at age 19, receiving a full scholarship to USC for her masters, and a full scholarship to Oxford for her doctorate, where she then served for 17 years as a professor and later department chair and assistant dean. Like most archaeology professors, she was always very active on digs, and is one of the leading scholars on the poorly understood ancient race known as the Preservers. Her claim to fame was deciphering the mysterious Preserver written language by finding its "Rosetta Stone", the discovery made in all places in a previously undiscovered temple in ancient Iraq, barely 160 miles from her birthplace.
Kubon Saika, b. 2337, Record Keeper, Bajoran Government.
Kubon Laz, b. 2335, Civilian Negotiator.


Siblings:
Cenish Shon, b. 2356, Assistant Bajoran Liaison to Starfleet
Kubon Dete, b. 2373, Acolyte in the Bajoran Religious Order


Spouse: None
Hsina's achievements in her field are due in no small part to her exceptional memory, which allowed her to recall clues from books read years before and piece them together for that "a-ha" moment in which she realized that an ancient sumerian poem was actually coordinates on an equally ancient Sumerian map.  One of those mysteries who's answer had been staring scholars in the face for centuries.
Children: None


{{Heading|Chronological History|Gold}}


Contrary to what her resume might suggest, Hsina is no bookworm.  The combination of her tumultuous childhood, extreme height and being raised by a brother who was a professional boxer and an amateur drunk, Hsina couldn't help but come out slightly odd, 51-50, playing slightly short of a full deck, etc.  She is beyond fanatically fit, with her exercise routine more masochistic than merely fanatical.  At 6'1" she is extremely tall, a trait she got from her mother and shares with her brother, who is 6'5".  She is proportional for her height, with a definitely feminine build, but one subjected to masochistic workouts to produce a body that would make most Klingons jealous.  Also like her mother and brother, she is freakishly strong, easily out-muscling the vast majority of men.  Her height, massive build and stern countenance are often intimidating to people who do not know her well, and even to some who do (the whole she's crazy thing).


CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY:
Cenish Saika was a widow with one young son when she met Laz Kubon in 2366. She was working as a record keeper at the Bajoran government building during the Occupation. Laz was a Civilian Negotiator working for Starfleet to work to prepare Bajor for the expected withdrawal of the Cardassians.


Over the next year the two spent a considerable amount of time together which by the time the Occupation had ended and it was time for him to leave, Laz was not interested, instead the following year he pledged his love for Saika by converting to the Bajoran religion and he changed his name legally to reflect Bajoran culture; Kubon Laz.
Hsina has no fear.  This is not a heroic, courageous kind of no fear, but more a mentally defective, "death is merely the end" and of the "she likes pain" kind of no fear.  The kind of no fear that put her in the hospital when she was mugged at knife point in London and attacked the mugger with her fists, breaking the muggers arm, jaw and four ribs, but getting stabbed three times in the process.


2369 was a banner year as the Cardassians withdraw from Bajor. It was during this time that Kubon Laz and Saika finally married.


Kubon was born a year later in 2370 and welcomed and embraced by the family. She was a bright child always having an interest in learning new things. With her brother being so much older she spent a lot of time with him once she was able and permitted to and while Mera savored all the time with her brother, Shon was regularly reminded by his Mother that he not get Mera into any trouble.
In addition to her unhealthy lack of fear, Hsina also has a very unhealthy prejudice against certain professions and generally dislikes regulations that she sees as silly or unnecessary.  Its not that they are silly or unnecessary, just that she sees them that way, and quickly decides that they don't particularly matter to her. Thus far she has been reasonably lucky and nothing has gotten her into too much trouble, as very few men complained when she would use the men's restroom 50% of the time, just using whichever is closer rather than caring for what she considered stupid segregation.  Her disdain for rules extends to a disdain for bureaucracy and bureaucratic professions, which she considers one step above a prison sentence and wonders what kind of spineless insectoid weasel would ever consider a career as a file clerk, secretary or what-not.  She's smart enough not to outright insult such people when they are in a position to cause trouble, but its always quite a struggle.


The life that the Kubon's had on Bajor was a peaceful one, Laz adored the children. As a negotiator he got a steady stream of work and managed to buy a farm in the country where the kids could roam free and happy.
2373 was the year that the Dominion war started, Saika became pregnant and another daughter was born, Dete. Mera was happy to have a sister and welcomed her into the family whole heartedly.


The happiness they would have shattered when the Dominion War began and several times Bajor came under attack. Mera and Shon were nearly killed during an attack on the nearest city but thankfully the young boy was able to get them to a safe house.  
Hsina frequently takes unnecessary risks and participates in extreme sports to center herself. When such activities are not available she tends to drink heavily, and never that synth nonsense.


Laz wanted to leave Bajor and return to Earth but Saika wouldn't, she hadn't left because of the Cardassian's she wasn't leaving because of the Founders. Shon ran away and joined the Resistance again to fight against the Dominion; against his Parent's wishes.


Thankfully as a child Kubon didn't have to experience the hardships of a long-term war like the Occupation had been. Instead by the time she was 8 it was over and she could return to a normal life. Her brother would return him and enroll in University while she began to consider her future.  
Finally, while Hsina is unbalanced and not quite right, she is very good at hiding it.  She actually suffers from a genetic disorder that makes her completely psi-null.  She has absolutely zero psionic potential where most humans have some, and while that means she can never learn some of the mental disciplines like walking on hot coals and the like, it also prevents empaths and telepaths from getting any reading at all, though a Vulcan mind-meld, which is a direct physical connection, will get a reading, but only if done intrusively as she is incapable of consenting as that involves opening up a part of the brain that simply doesn't work.  There have been two instances, however, when somehow (Hsina doesn't yet understand it) two telepathic/empathic individuals were able to get something of a fuzzy-peripheral read on Hsina, while at the same time Hsina heard their thoughts as well. Defective hardware is Hsina's best guess.


The young woman decided that she wished to join Starfleet. She couldn't get enough information from her Father. The few times that they travelled to Deep Space Nine the young impressionable girl was completely awed by what she saw.


Her Father tried to suggest the Bajoran Military but she wanted to travel the stars and go to Earth. She wanted to meet her other relatives who lived there and join Starfleet. She never wavered about this and every chance she got she brought it up.  
Since completing her doctoral studies, Hsina  has spent most of her life in academia.  Much like the fictional 20th movie character Indiana Jones, Hsina spent the years following her studies teaching classes on archaeology, history and anthropology while also participating in and often leading archaeological digs both on Earth and in deep space.


Finally she talked them into letting her enroll, it was the same year as Bajor joined the UFP, 2388. She decided that she would like to become a security officer, all the tactics and tricks her brother had shown her over the years, the complexities of being part a judicial body appealed to her. Relenting, her parents made arrangements for her to go live on Earth with Laz's parents until she went into the Academy.


2393 - Current Timeline Year for UFOP
It was on one such dig, a classified mission by the Starfleet vessel USS Curiosity to recover a Preserver artifact of incredible age found drifting intact near Romulan space, that Hsina was lost and presumed dead.  USS Curiosity recovered the artifact, but before they could return it to Starfleet for study, the ship was attacked and lost with all hands.
Kubon Mera prepares to graduate from SFA.




<!--{{Heading|(Background/Personality/Career History)|Gold}}
What really happened was that a Romulan team infiltrated and boarded Curiosity, and made a play to capture the ship and the precious Preserver artifact. By the time the fighting was over, only five of Curiosity's crew and Dr. Hsina Amman, who was on board as a civilian mission specialist remained alive, and the Curiosity herself was dead in space, venting atmosphere.  The Romulan survivors escaped with the Preserver artifact.

THAT WAS SIXTY-YEARS-AGO.  The six survivors went into stasis, certain that someone would find the drifting, derelict starship. They did, 60-years-later, but only one of the six stasis chambers remained active, that of Dr. Hsina Amman. Hsina woke up at Starbase 118 OPS, then spent a few weeks at Star Fleet Academy for a direct commission course (she did not attend a regular academy) and finally posting as an ensign on the USS Discovery-C.

Hsina's older brother died twelve-years-ago while she was in stasis on the Curiosity.  Her older sister lived until the age of 115, and did get to meet with Hsina once when USS Discovery took shore leave.  Hsina's only surviving relatives are an 80-year-old nephew and his three children, whom she has only met twice.

Hsina has never been married, but has had two committed romantic relationships. The first with Dr. Alexander Martin, another professor at Oxford.  Hsina and Alex parted romantically after being together for 12 years, and remained close friends.  When Hsina dissappeared, Dr. Martin eventually married one of his female students (Hsina was also once one of his students), had a family and died 25-years-ago at the age of 108. Hsina's other long-term relationship was with one of her under-graduate and later graduate students, who died in her arms on USS Curiosity.

Since waking up, Hsina has been promoted quickly through the ranks on USS Discovery despite her rather abrasive personality, eventually serving as the chief science officer and more recently the chief of security.  In her months on board she has almost caught up with the last 60 years of technology, at least when it comes to operating modern computer systems, and has earned a reputation as an unfeeling b!tch, but one who gets results and will go to extremes to protect her shipmates.

Most recently, Hsina and her shipmates spent some time on the planet Kjenta II, a high-gravity planet with similar physiological effects to Ba'ku inside the Briar Patch.  While the effects varied by individual, the older one was physically, the more their physical age reverted while on Kjenta II.  The effect is such that the longer one spends on the planet and more one exerts oneself while there, the more pronounced the effect, which in its end state would have a person age backwards (or forwards normally if very young) until they reached their physiological prime.  To make Hsina's age more complex, she essentially got ten-years-younger in her time on Kjenta II, and while she was born 104-years-ago and has lived for 44 years, she is physiologically 34-years-old.
