Gender and preferred pronouns

The J'naii are a genderless, androgynous species. In their own tongue a neuter pronoun is used in lieu of "he" and "she," but there is no effective translation to English, which is why the preferred pronouns of Renos and many others is ne/nem/nir/nirs/nemself. Renos is considered a deviant because ne is genderfluid, on some days/in some situations ne identifies as male and at other times ne identifies as female. Nirs wardrobe consists of a mixture of feminine and masculine clothing and ne has two sets of duty uniforms so that ne can dress according to how ne is feeling on any particular day. When ne presents as female ne is happy being addressed with female pronouns, on days ne presents as male ne prefers masculine pronouns. This can be a lot to keep up with so if in doubt it is always preferable to use gender neutral pronouns to avoid offense as ne will be unhappy if addressed incorrectly.

Relationships

Family

Renos has not spoken to nir family for approximately 18 years. Ne is an outcast and runaway, rejected by nir family for being different to what is considered socially acceptable and holding different beliefs. Ne has now seen more years of nir life without the love and support of family around than with it. Renos is considered a criminal and because of that ne cannot ever return to J'naii, even if ne wanted to. Ne has had to rely on the goodwill and help of complete strangers to escape his home world and as a result always tries to help and treat others with the same kindness. Ne now puts nirs trust and faith in the friends ne has made on Earth and beyond.

Friends and Acquaintances

Acquaintance Maxwell Traenor

Traenor Science Officer - USS Apollo Doctor Renos first met the scientist when he came into sickbay for his physical evaluation shortly after joining the crew. Ne noted some problems with the knee and discussed a way forward that was sensitive to the tall human's needs and a follow up appointment was made for a less formal setting so that they could discuss a matter Maxwell wanted advice about. They also got to spend a little time together while part of a team doing a scavenger hunt. Doctor Renos has enjoyed his company so far, learned that he likes Saurian Brandy and looks forward to getting to know him a bit better.

Ally Avaris Torrin

Torrin Civilian - USS Apollo Avaris Torrin approached Renos when ne was in the Mess Hall feeling pretty down one day after receiving a distressing message. He immediately identified the fact ne is a deviant and got nem talking in a way that rarely happens. Doctor Renos explained what the problem was in a big leap of faith and the Trill responded by offering to help nir friend in need. At first eh J'naii was reluctant to accept but Avaris took some pretty bold steps to prove he could be trusted building a bridge that would allow Renos to let him in. Ne hopes that Avaris will prove to be not just a useful ally, but trusted friend.

Background

Renos is deliberately vague and has infrequently confided in others about nir past, only doing so with those ne has got to know over a long period of time, or more unusually those ne strikes a connection with quickly. That said there are some things ne will talk more freely about such as the fact ne left nir home world in 2373, a turbulent year that ne will never forget. Renos had been forced to see asylum on Earth and was fortunate to have been granted it. It had taken a number of individuals to get nem off of J'naii and not all of them were affiliated with the Federation. It took a number of months to settle in on Earth and even more for the culture shock to wear off.

As ne settled in more he began to think about the future - ne decided ne wanted to spend it helping others. Back on J'naii ne had just started college and had been studying to be a psychologist so ne looked at similar careers before deciding to choose a career in counselling. Renos applied to several courses but when ne saw some recruitment material from Starfleet ne knew right away and passionately that this was the path for nem. It took a bit of doing to secure the necessary endorsements but nir charming disposition and passion for it helped to counter any initial shortfall in education or other doubts. When given the chance to take pre-entry tests ne knew ne had to give it everything as there would be no seconds chances. Fortunately it paid off and in 2375 nir training began.

Quarters

Renos generally prefers to replicate clothes as needed, choosing from a selection of the latest fashions rather than store and reuse the same items over and over again. That said there are a few items ne does keep, which are non-replicated, handcrafted items with sentimental value. Some were more feminine, like the white robe with golden oriental pattern gifted to nem some years ago by a friend who had helped nem get settled on Earth. Some were more masculine, like the sleeveless black leather jacket nem liked to pair with a plain white t-shirt and gradiated dark sunglasses.

Daruma Doll

Ne likes to add a few personal touches to nir living space and has pictures of friends made while serving aboard Starbase 118. Ne hopes the pictures will not only remind nem of happier times but serve as a visual reminder to place subspace calls to these people and keep in touch with them. Renos is a visually oriented person and has a few significant items ne likes to keep around nem, such as a yellow Daruma Doll. Ne first learned of Daruma Dolls and the traditions surrounding them from another Academy Cadet who came from a traditional family in Japan. The doll is designed to get back up when it falls, embodying the essence of the famous Japanese proverb – fall down seven times and stand up eight. The Daruma is commonly regarded in Japanese society as both a good luck charm and a constant reminder of one’s goals.

Ne thought it was an interesting idea and after completing nir first one has never looked back.

Nir current doll is not yellow by accident. Yellow symbolizes security and protection and is appropriate to the goal ne has selected to focus on. The doll only one eye has been painted and is kept in a prominent place so it is seen often and serves to remind nem of nir goal. Renos has been in regular if infrequent contact with an individual back home. Ne can relate to the problems facing nem and has been giving as much help and support as ne is able to. Ne hopes to be able to get this individual off-world within the next twelve months and cannot imagine not achieving the goal. Ne intends to paint in the second eye once this is achieved. The doll could then be burned in a special ceremony at which point ne would pick up a new one and set a new goal.
