==Religion/Spiritual Devotion== | |||
Like many Tellarites, Eopii's ethical and spiritual outlook is shaped by her Life Argument; a personal debate that's justifies one's continued existence and defines one purpose for being. | |||
She also wears IDIC pin on collar opposite of rank pip(s) an is extremely broad-minded in the matter or religious experience and spiritual devotion. | |||
==Personality== | ==Personality== | ||
Elopii | Elopii Azul is most obviously argumentative and abrasive and quite blatantly honest. Tutored with Vulcan sensibilities, she detests poorly founded arguments and jumping to conclusions. She tends to judge and measure individuals by their reasoning skills. Like many Tellarites she sees professionalism, discipline and piety as laudable evidence of a well founded 'Life Argument'. | ||
Less obvious, at least to non-readers, is 'Lopi's capacity for emotional gymnastics. She is mercurially passionate and can go from disgusted outrage to joyous abandon with a pace that would leave most species disoriented. Such unfettered spirit is also well within the range of Tellarite norms and like that species she experiences her emotions with an intensity that can be discomforting for unshielded readers. | |||
Born to privileged, Elopii is still appreciates the finer things in life, including fine arts, stylish fashion and haute cuisine. Her life experiences have humbled her greatly however and she just as happy breaking open a Martian microbrew at a poker game as a attending a sumptuous highbrow affair. She has adopted a "We're all the same in the dark" Paradigm and for those patient (or thick-skinned) enough to befriend her comprise an eclectic mix of sentients from all walks of life. | |||
Azul is most comfortable around typical Vulcans, Bajorans, Tellarite and Betazed or other races known for their honest, straight forward behavior or piety. She also finds herself attracted to the company of individual marines, priests, followers of Surak and others who live by a definable moral code. It is also the reason she has a soft spot for Ferengi who live by Rules of Acquisition. On the other hand she is quite wary of the often duplicitous Cardassians, Romulans and most especially Terran. She also dislikes Starfleet Intel who she views as antithetical to the Purpose and Founding of the Federation. | |||

===Ambitions and Goals=== | ===Ambitions and Goals=== | ||
Ambitions are hard for Ęlopii to embrace as she feels like she's been trying to escape the past for most of her life. For as long as she can recall her chief motivation has been to prove herself, as the runt of the litter, as a daughter worthy of her father, as something more than a spoiled child of privilege, even as cadet worthy of a 2nd (or 3rd) chance. Azul is done with that! | Ambitions are hard for Ęlopii to embrace as she feels like she's been trying to escape the past for most of her life.

Ęlopii is secretive about her pre-Academy life, even more so of her youth prior to the Merchant Marines. Issues she keeps close to her bosom are failing the Starfleet Academy Exam the first time, her humbling years as a sailor, her disastrous marriage, her semester long suspension as a Starfleet Cadet, failure at her one and only Intelligence mission, being an Ambassador's daughter and the child of a prestigious Tellarite Clan, rejection by her Terran relatives and, most especially, her 'failure' as an attache in her father's service. She is also rather annoyed at having to meet with a counselor indefinitely. | Ęlopii is secretive about her pre-Academy life, even more so of her youth prior to the Merchant Marines.

Hammin was a second generation hybrid, indistinguishable from a standard Betazoid male save for a rather dashing pair of small tusks and small beady eyes that he hides behind a stylish visor. A son of the 2nd House of Betazed he was a haughty, self important hedonist with limited telepathic abilities. Theirs was an arranged marriage and while legal in record, Ęlopii's Tellarite siblings spirited her away before the ceremonies ensued in full. Arguably so they wouldn't have to see their parents naked as was the local custom during marriage rituals. The marriage was finally annulled during her third year in as a Merchant Marine.

This Tellarite Ambassador was fiscally and biologically responsible for the conception of Elopii Azul, who he had created for his beloved Terran mistress. While his estranged spouse, the matron Azul would demand custody of the child by her legal rights, he later became Elopii's fulltime parent after the death of his mistress. Doting on his youngest child, he made sure she had the finest of education in the hiring of a retired Vulcan professor. As Elopii matured, she would routinely accompany him on his diplomatic missions, even serving as an attache in her teen years. While the younger Azul took responsibility for the diplomatic disaster that occurred along the Cardassian border, some believe it was a sacrifice to save her father's career and honor. | This Tellarite Ambassador was fiscally and biologically responsible for the conception of Elopii Azul, who he had created for his beloved Terran mistress.

Sister Solia is a medical doctor on a reclaimed colony along the Bajoran (now Federation)-Cardassian border. She is the proud mother of six and seven. Six are her own by a fellow Tellarite colonist and seven are adopted orphans a mix of Terran, Bajoran and Cardassian foundlings. Elopii always gets tearfully emotional when hearing from them. Several of the oldest are already starting families of their own and hardly a day goes by with Elopii hearing from Solia and her litters. | Sister Solia is a medical doctor on a reclaimed colony along the Bajoran (now Federation)-Cardassian border.

Brother Pip is an archeological artist performing restorations on Bajor. He's fallen in love with a Vedek, a pious young man who seems to take great joy in arguing the authenticity and artistic liberties of Pip's work. While her brother insists this is some form epic foreplay, he has yet to defrock his priest. Though his communications are sporadic, they are always lengthy, dramatic and include beautiful images of the work he's been doing or the places he's visited as well as images of the clueless Bajoran who has captured poor Pip's overly romantic heart. This same fellow who also appears to be curiously present during Pip's frequent adventures into the vast catalog of Bajoran antiquity. While Pip has no children of his own, he's taken several foundlings, two Bajorans and a Cardassians as 'apprentices'. His students are treated as relatives even by the Matron Azul who has visited her 'youngest' son several times in recent years...arguably to enjoy what remains of half a million years of culture. | Brother Pip | ||

Shortly after the death of her biological mother, young Elopii was sent to live with her father who, in turn, hired a tutor, mentor and guardian for the tempestuous runt: T'maj of Vulcan. Previously retired from the Vulcan Science Academy, T'maj proved to be an effective, if demanding teacher and calming, if emotionally distance presence. More than anyone alive or dead, Elopii loves and respects this woman as her 'truest mother'. While serving her first tour as a Merchant marine, it broke young Azul's heart upon hearing of T'maj's decision to participate in the emotionally cleansing ritual of the Kholinar. | Shortly after the death of her biological mother, young Elopii was sent to live with her father who, in turn, hired a tutor, mentor and guardian for the tempestuous runt: T'maj of Vulcan.
