Stats
- Full Name: Clik Zae'Li
- Race: Aurelian
- Date of birth (Age): 237104.27 (30)
- Place of Birth: Aurelia
- Gender: Neutrois (they/them)
Appearance
- Height: 6'9" (2.06m)
- Weight: 102lbs (46kg)
- Eye color: Brown
- Feather Color: Mostly a faded yellow color, save for the wings which are a light brownish color.
- Wingspan: 24ft (7m) And the height of the folded wings does make them appear taller than they are as the tops of the wings go a little above their head.
- General Appearance: Think something very akin to a harpy eagle. But bigger and can work a tricorder.
- Misc. Features: Coming-of-age tattoos on beak.
Despite their height, and their feathers making them appear heavier than they are, they are far slimmer and lighter than they appear at first glance. Their bones are similar to the birds on other planets in that their bones are hollow so they're able to glide in the air, or fly short distances, for short periods of time if necessary. (It is probably still awkward to try and pick them up, though, because of the general height differences.)
It's also good to note that they don't necessarily wear a ton of clothing. The feathers do a lot of that for them. They might be tall, but given the fact of them having lesser mass than they seem to under the feathers, regular clothes tend to weigh them down and overheat them. And not even just for flight. It can cause them to move slower, tire easier, and it can be a bit distracting in turn. They do wear it on duty, but it is always a much, much lighter, and very breathable material than maybe most starfleet officers wear to keep discomfort and distraction to a minimum. It rarely covers their arms so what they're wearing doesn't restrict their range of motion or their wings (so a bit like a vest with wing holes in the back.) And off-duty they keep it equally light on the typical clothing if they wear it at all for whatever reason they might choose to.
They are however known to wear a shirt collar by itself on their neck to be able to show the pips, and more importantly their combadge. They sometimes switch that up with an over the shoulder sash or a vest to mix up the style.
Personality
Clik is a very curious individual, much like many Aurelians are known to be. They crave knowledge. They're very sweet, though they can be a little quiet and contemplative. They enjoy people watching and picking up little things from the people they associate themself with. It's as much a part of gathering knowledge as any scientific endeavor is to them. They also find it helps to make people more comfortable with them as someone who appears so truly alien the way they do. And they are aware of it. It's hard not to notice. They have a dry sense of humor that comes out when it's appropriate to come out. And occasionally when it's not when they're not thinking about it. Or when they think it might help ease tension.
While they are quiet, they do prefer to be in groups that feel like they almost emulate the feeling of a close knit flock like they had back on Aurelia. And being alone for too long does bring a little anxiety. Nothing they can't (currently) handle. But they do take preference to being around people and getting to know them.
- Positive Traits: Friendly, has a sense of humor, great memory, loyal, family and friend oriented, good in a group setting, caring, smart, helpful.
- Negative Traits: Fairly naive, sheltered, They know much but not as much as they could outside of Aurelian culture and it shows sometimes even if they're doing their best to learn.
Family
- Parents:
- Mother: Rhikki
- Father: Yakaal
- Siblings:
- Brother: Akki (same age, like a twin)
- Sisters: Yali, and Calles (both younger siblings)
- Misc.: they have no spouse, and no children.
Brief History
Clik had always been as curious as a good number of their people were, but they never initially considered going off world to sate any of it. They were close to their flock, and it was something they were comfortable sticking with. Even having the potential for growing up to be the matron of their flock at some point in the future if they became old enough in the far future.
They could learn a lot staying where they were. They didn’t need much else.
That is, until they visited the station that orbited Aurelia. It only took once or twice for it to click. While they were briefly a touch apprehensive of the people, they soon realized they hardly had reason to be. And also came to the conclusion that staying put forever wasn’t an option they wanted to stick with. They wanted to see more, they wanted to know more. Their flock was supportive, and once ready they applied to Starfleet and were happily accepted. The rest, as they say, is history.
