“Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.”
Salvador Dali
Dr. Aigle Phos, is a Laudean physicist who is currently the Chief of Science aboard the USS Doyle-A, and has served formerly on board the USS Discovery-C, USS Darwin-A, USS Excalibur-A as the Chief of Science and the Assistant Chief of Science on the USS Constitution-B. She holds the rank of Lieutenant in Starfleet, however she generally prefers to be referred to informally by her first name or formally as Dr. Phos.
While Aigle is proficient enough in Standard, and is able to read and write in it fluently, it is very much her second language and so she can struggle with complex sentence structure and words. Generally she will have the Universal Translator active at all times in case she needs it.
Personal Access Code: Phos Beta One Three Zero Four
Pretty much everything outside of her professional / academic life.
Temperament: Usually good, although she can easily be pushed too far.
Mental problems (complexes and phobias):
Not quite a phobia, but she has grown to hate mushrooms.
Physical Limitations: She is surprisingly fit for an academic, but it still shows.
Notes
Written Work & Language
Unless she knows that others will be reading her work, Aigle will generally write in her native Laudean. This particularly hold true with calculations, were she will generally not only use Laudean numbers, but also notation and Naming Convention. The exception to this is with equations and mathematics she had only become familiar with since leaving Til'ahn, although even then she will sometimes just adopt the naming conventions for constants while adapting the rest into more familiar notation.
When possible, Aigle will also set LCARS to present it's User Interface to her in Laudean, although nearly all data displayed is in Standard due to a lack of translations.
Synaesthesia
Having lived with it from quite a young age, Aigle can hardly imagine a universe not full of the explosion of colour she sees. Broadly, she sees each kind of wave as having its own distinct colour, which gradually fades to black as it approaches its property border. Below is a version of the electromagnetic spectrum augmented with the colours she sees.
It should be noted that she can still tell the difference between a wave, for example, the difference between a wave on the black border between UV and X-Rays, due to the fact that she is still interpreting this through her fielding. Her brain is mealy sub-consciously presenting this as a range of colours. This does have the effect of making everything (at least in her eyes) seems far more beautiful. For instance, even a simple action like turning on a kettle causes of a array of colours, from the wires turning yellow and affecting their surroundings, to the kettle turning it and its surrounding red from the heat it is giving off.
Backstory
Aigle was born in 2351 to a wealthy, aristocratic family with links to the Fielding League. As a result she was encouraged to develop her fielding skill from a very young age. It was only a slight surprise for her family that she turned out to be a very skilled fielder, however what they had not anticipated is that she had also developed Synaesthesia. Basically she perceives energy fields as varying colours, cosponsoring to their frequency. Perhaps as a result she had always loved the work of (what we would call) the Surrealists and Impressionists, as many show a world with nearly as many colours as her own.
She was a happy child and grew into a happy adult, if a little bookish - a fact that was probably compounded by her near isolation on the Family's estate in Demo, Demodara. She was particularly skilled in the sciences and in particular Physics. She was especially skilled at working with wave theory due to her intimate knowledge of the properties of waves. By 2373, she had enrolled in Lokesh University, studying Theoretical Physics. During the second year of her Master's degree, the Great Revolution of Til'ahn started to gain force. As a relatively minor family the Phos's were mostly untouched, although they did lose their status and a great deal of their wealth. Several members also fled to Betazed, were they still reside. During this time she also split away from her family. She was (and still is) an ardent socialist, while the majority of her family were committed monarchists.
By the end of the Romulan occupation in 2388, Aigle had found that her previous home had somewhat lost its charm. While she was confident the new democratic government would eventually restore it, she wanted to explore the universe. Seeing her chance in joining Starfleet she packed her bags and applied. Thanks to her Doctorate of Physics she was able to skip much of the science modules in the course, focusing instead on the Starfleet exclusive aspects.
Aigle's relationship with her family is, at best, rocky. In all honesty, it is almost completely non-existent beyond limited contact from her brother and the occasional gently chiding message from her Aunt Beatrix. By this point, Aigle would probably be quite open to reconciliation - provided her Father made the first move.
Aigle is generally able to form friendships easily, and is very eager to meet new people particularly those from far off or interesting places - which to her is most places outside of Til'ahn. Generally Aigle likes to think that she is pretty easy-going and hopefully fun to be around. On the romantic side however, Aigle has had little success. Due to her status it was competitively difficult to form any early adolescent relationships, however she did have several during her time in Lokesh University. None were particularly serious however and even the longest lasted less than six months.
