Tall by humanoid standards. Depending on stress levels, and what's going on around him, he does put on a little extra weight in the belly and thigh areas sometimes, but it's rarely all that noticeable when he does, and it's quite flattering on him. | ||

* '''Taste in clothing (off duty):''' Feminine, or non-conformist in some capacity. He does sometimes choose pants, but more often he prefers a skirt, usually short or mid-length. Rarely long. He normally puts a small pair of shorts underneath them for the sake of keeping everyone else comfortable with him. And sometimes it's cuter that way. His shirts also tend to be cropped higher. Colorwise: If he's choosing colors to complement, he goes into deep reds, purples, greens, blues, and reddish browns. But he also knows he wants to have a good time and isn't afraid of candy colors that might clash. Sometimes he even wears interesting patterns. It depends on his mood. There's always a means of keeping the wings freed, and that often entails an open back. This style choice has caused small amounts of confusion from some people due to a lack of comparison of his race. This doesn't bother him, he'll just shrug and correct it. Sometimes he'll even just shrug without correction, people figure it out eventually, and he's not necessarily overly attached to the masculine identity as a concept The daily use of clothes in personal expression without practical use is something his Aurelian family finds odd and quirky. It is the closest thing he has to a guilty pleasure. | * '''Taste in clothing (off duty):''' Feminine, or non-conformist in some capacity.

His vocal range is a little higher, and when he's really excited there is a noticeable increase in the musical intonations. His accent is strange and pleasantly melodic. His singing voice has a large range. He can sing soft lullabies, or belt out music that sounds like a rock power ballad if he wants. And his singing voice is very beautiful, if odd, so it sounds actually pleasant when he does either one. Albeit, it might be shocking to hear him do a rock song if you haven't before because of who he is. But he can do it and enjoy it immensely. Good to note that his accent is fairly minor these days. It's still there to a degree, but enough people made comments about finding it hard to take him seriously that he practiced a more palatable accent. It's his default way of speaking now. If you get him drunk enough, however, his much thicker accent comes out almost full force, and he sounds a bit like he could break into a musical number at any point. It is a pleasant accent, but it is a bit silly if you're not used to it. | ||

Reading (fiction and nonfiction, but is a particular fan of the romance and fantasy genres). Journaling through personal logs, and physical writing. Fantasy holodeck programs. Flirting. | ||

Head scritches (Dear god, have mercy on him he will melt if you get that far.) Friendship. Science. Animals. Men. | ||

* '''Negative traits:''' Perfectionist | * '''Negative traits:''' Perfectionist, Can be a little too personal with people. Impulsive. Struggles with his own toxic positivity. He very easily can tell people to seek out professional help, but in recent months he has anxiety following his own advice. It's a process. He's also low-key insecure about being an Aurelian. He's surrounded by humanoids, and he's even seen more insectoids than avians. So he feels out of place. It's just that he would struggle to admit that. | ||
* '''Goals:''' | * '''Goals:''' | ||
** To do what he can to continue to deserve his Lieutenant promotion, and any promotion he may get in the future. Also to do his best at his job as Head of Infrastructure Development, work on his leadership skills. He'd like to feel like he's contributing as much as he can, helping people in whatever way he's able, and doing what he can to make any place he ends up better than he found it. | ** To do what he can to continue to deserve his Lieutenant promotion, and any promotion he may get in the future.

**His other goal is one of self-acceptance | **His other goal is one of self-acceptance and Aurelian pride. This is something he's struggling with. Because he is trying to reintegrate traits that he masked, or pushed out of him to feel "normal." But what he didn't expect was that doing so unlocked a good number of the insecurities he ignored while building up that mask. It's something he has trouble admitting to himself let alone always knowing how to reconcile it. The trauma he's been pushing under the rug doesn't help. But the goal still exists. He wants to love himself again as he is, as he was, and as the person he's becoming. | ||
* '''Temperament:''' Nurturing. Ferociously loving. | * '''Temperament:''' Nurturing. Ferociously loving. Forgiving. Kind. Apologetic when applicable. He has a good sense of humor, and he is outrageously gentle and strives to embody the essence of unconditional love, and also to embody the simpler meaning of his name "Ardent Passion." So he loves people and things passionately. Whether someone accepts it as truth or not, you can guarantee that he will never lie about his feelings on the matter. | ||
* '''Values:''' Love, compassion, gratitude, family/friendship, kindness, honesty, humor, generosity, and forgiveness. He does not expect everyone to share these values in the way he holds them, but he will always try to encompass those things and lead by example. | * '''Values:''' Love, compassion, gratitude, family/friendship, kindness, honesty, humor, generosity, and forgiveness.

* '''Orientation:''' Short answer is | * '''Orientation:''' Short answer is “Gay/Queer" and “Polyamorous." The longer answer is that those things are still true, he is those things. But those things involve a lot of nuances in his own life that he’d explain if prompted, and open-mindedness about exceptions to them because he’s not strictly bound by any of his preferences just because the preferences exist. | ||
* '''Spiritual views:''' He is a strong spiritual believer in The Great Pho'nix. A being he and most Aurelians consider a being made of warmth, passion, creation, and love in all She creates. He feels a strong connection to nature, the elements of air and fire, the sun, and the stars above. | *'''Spiritual views:''' He is a strong spiritual believer in The Great Pho'nix. A being he and most Aurelians consider a being made of warmth, passion, creation, and love in all She creates. He feels a strong connection to nature, the elements of air and fire, the sun, and the stars above. When he's feeling particularly spiritual he has two simple necklaces he might wear to show it. The first is one with a sunstone gem carved in the shape of the sun. He got it on Earth during the academy, made him feel connected to the Pho'nix even so far from Aurelia. But he also has a necklace with an Aurelian design carved into a piece of Au'rin crystal, an Aurelian crystal that refracts rainbow colors in sunlight. Similar to the sunstone in meaning, but more connected to the feeling of "home" as an aspect of the Pho'nix rather than just a general connection to Her. | ||

Conversational in: Three more flock dialects, and Vulcan. Has very basic beginner's understanding of: Klingon. | ||
* '''Vocal tics:''' Prone to making clicking sounds. The clicks increase when he can't remember a word in the language he's speaking. He loves the word "Marvelous!" And says it often. A lot of his sentences have the filler sound, "ah" in the middle of them. And it's pretty common for him to end a sentence with a friendly, "no?" or "yes?" depending on the sentence. His laughter is generally self-contained, involves more of a physical beak clicking or a soft-humored snort. Unless you can get him ''really'' drunk, or busting up in hysterics. | * '''Vocal tics:''' Prone to making clicking sounds.

** The aforementioned "Marvelous!" It's not always exclaimed, but often it is. He will say things are going marvelously. It is simply his favorite terran word. He finds it feels natural in his voice to say it, and it accurately expresses how he feels about so many things. Because he thinks so many things are simply marvelous! | ** The aforementioned "Marvelous!" It's not always exclaimed, but often it is. He will say things are going marvelously.

** Dekas has the quirk of being in love with everyone. He's platonically and familially in love with his friends and family. Sometimes he falls in love with someone's energy, or a little bit in love with them. Sometimes those people are near strangers. He's a hopeless romantic. Most often, his romanticism will fade, but his love will not. He might have started with a feeling of romantic toward a person, but unless it's cultivated, it will likely fade to platonic. And still, the love remains. It will always remain. Perhaps on occasion, it is loving the idealized version of someone in his head. But it doesn't change that he loves them. And it won't make him stop loving them if they show beyond the ideal | ** Dekas has the quirk of being in love with everyone. He's platonically and familially in love with his friends and family.

And it won't make him stop loving them if they show beyond the ideal. So yes, in some capacity, if he cares for someone, he's also mildly in love with them. It is related to his Aurelian sensibility of being loving, but the way it presents in him is very much a Dekas thing. Because not every Aurelian is that strong about the love giving. He’s a special case. | ||
** Tendencies to first name people. And introduce himself without his rank. As in he will say "I am Dekas." rather than "I am Lieutenant Dekas." And unless he's unsure of someone's preferences, they're the captain, or he considers a situation particularly formal, he will often switch back and forth between someone's rank and someone's | ** Tendencies to first name people.

And unless he's unsure of someone's preferences, they're the captain, or he considers a situation particularly formal, he will often switch back and forth between someone's rank and someone's preferred name because it personalizes people to him. He never wants to forget that above rank everyone is a person first. | ||
** | ** He's an extrovert who adopts introverts into his friend group with reckless abandon. | ||
** Extremely restless when he has free time. If he doesn't have anything to actively do he has a tendency to pace around a lot. Holds a tension in his body that he doesn't really know what to do with sometimes, and has trouble acknowledging it lest he acknowledges why the tension is there. And while it is a slight bit better with the move to Denali Station, he still has a hard time staying asleep in his quarters at night. The pacing is very prevalent when he can't sleep. The room is a lot bigger than the one on Juneau, and significantly emptier until he can figure out how he'd like to decorate it. | ** Extremely restless when he has free time.

** Because of his extremely loving and nurturing personality, sometimes he unintentionally says things that border on therapy thoughts. Aurelians are strangely good at that. But one of the reasons he chose not to follow a caretaker/healer role like that as he could have is because he's aware enough of his own specific traits to understand that he personally would risk getting a little too close to a situation. He has the kind intentions of a healer, but a heart that is possibly too tender to be one in the official senses. He's more than happy to be the very loving friend someone talks with to figure out they might need therapy. And he'll cheer them on in their therapy journey with an actual counselor! | |||

You could be outright mean to him and while it might hurt, or he might need some space to deal with his emotions, he's so forgiving and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt that he often tries to take such things more as constructive criticisms rather than insults. Sometimes he'll take it as something that he can agree to disagree on. He also has a sense of humor so if it's an insensitive thing, he can find a way to correct it or laugh it off. He might not always fully enjoy someone if they're toxic to him, but trying to get him to actively ''dislike'' them is almost guaranteed to fail on impact. Callous, icy exteriors, are no match for his super cheery sunshine personality. He's powerful. He might not convert anyone into a fan, but they also won't find him down on their level in any permanent way. | ||
** He has accidentally found himself keeping up with various gossip around the station and knows random things. This is at least partially because, as the only Aurelian currently on the Station, he is in Lower-Decks gossip circles to varying degrees. And he keeps up with some of it, but in the process also ends up hearing other things. So don't be surprised if he randomly mentions gossip. He's nosy. | |||
** He takes secret delight in being the tallest of the senior staff. Because he is the shortest of his Aurelian family, and it's nice to feel tall sometimes. | ** He takes secret delight in being the tallest of the senior staff.

Their rite of passage is to recall and recite their entire family and flock history in extensive detail. It often takes many hours, up to a few days. So he can be chatty. On the plus side, he thinks people's idea of "long-winded" is child's play, so talk all you like, he enjoys it. | ||

He is especially fond of rainforests and tropical climates. (Being raised in a tropical rainforest on Aurelia does make him less inclined toward snow, though he's not opposed. He prefers rain, though, and thinks it is good luck.) He loves trees. And flowers. And knows a lot more than you'll originally think he will. But it's a part of life on Aurelia to know how to care for plants and the environment so he's quite aware of things. He has an insanely high ability to tell if a plant is unhealthy and get a feel for why and what it needs because of the way he grew up. | ||
** Expletives/exclamations referencing fire, feathers, or the Pho'nix. Most common ones being, "Feathers / My Feathers", "Flame in the sky", and "Six flames." Or "For flame's sake/For Phoenix' sake!" if he's feeling uncharacteristically extra annoyed. Recently picked up the slightly more crass "pluck me" and "get plucked" versions. There are others, but those are the ones he uses the most. He does sometimes swear with terran swears, | ** Expletives/exclamations referencing fire, feathers, or the Pho'nix.

Recently picked up the slightly more crass "pluck me" and "get plucked" versions. There are others, but those are the ones he uses the most. He does sometimes swear with terran swears, and sometimes feels like a solid F-bomb encompasses more feelings than most swears. But he tries to keep up a professional appearance and is minimal about that. | ||
** He has a surprising appreciation for the typically creepy and macabre aspects of nature. He doesn't understand the fear of spiders, bugs, or reptiles, because Aurelians keep absolutely huge tarantulas as pets where he's from among other unexpected pets like large bats that eat fruit, but don't always remember their own strength when taking the food from people. And they have sharp teeth, so it is painful sometimes. But he thinks those creatures are beautiful and baby talks to them as easily as he does the pets he's met over the years from other cultures. Various forms of taxidermy are present in various Aurelian decor as well, and he thinks those things are neat, too. Not that you would know that about him outright unless he told you | ** He has a surprising appreciation for the typically creepy and macabre aspects of nature.

** Sound mimicking. I do specify that it is sounds that he mimics and not voices. He might be able to mimic an Aurelian voice to jokingly talk like his siblings or his parents. But humanoid voices? At best he could imitate vocal tics, and alter vocal range to playfully impersonate them, but he can't really do full voice mimics. You will always know that it's him. You're more likely to find him making a perfect combadge chirp, or an accurate phaser sound. Various bird and animal noises that he thinks are fun. Sometimes he uses the sound mimic power to get up to playful, but harmless, avian mischief. | ** Sound mimicking. I do specify that it is sounds that he mimics and not voices.

** Eye pinning. He can dilate and constrict his pupils at will. Usually a sign of excitement about something or someone he enjoys (platonic dynamics included). Can also signify anger. He doesn't do this one around humanoids as often as he does back home with other Aurelians who understand what it means in context. But if he does do the eye pinning around someone, or toward the warp core and someone happens to catch it, it's on purpose 95% of the times it happens. It's different than natural dilation or constriction with lighting, and it's easy to tell the difference because the pupil movement is a lot quicker if he's pinning. This is something he can do on command, he either makes for great fun at parties or weirds people out with it. On accident. It's not ''his'' fault if humanoids don't know it means he wants to be friends. | ** Eye pinning. He can dilate and constrict his pupils at will.

* '''Behavior notes:''' From day one, Dekas was excellently well mannered and well researched. He is reported to have been an excellent student, exceedingly friendly and thoughtful. Respectful. Good humor about any social mishaps. And, as one of his teachers once said "Very good at remembering people. Like scarily good. I swear he knows the name of every member of the Academy, and at least one obscure detail about them. He could tell a clone apart if they stood next to their counterpart. I'm both scared and in awe.

* '''Grades:''' The lowest he ever got on anything was a B+, and that was only on things he really struggled to understand. He was all too willing to ask questions for clarifications and get help from classmates he knew understood something better to retain information with understanding. He could have graduated top of classes if he wanted. But it wasn't his priority to be at the top. He was also there to experience what a new place had to offer and to practice understanding and expressing humanoid social cues better. | * '''Grades:''' The lowest he ever got on anything was a B+, and that was only on things he really struggled to understand.

(The only thing that kept him from outright double-majoring in Engineering and HCO fields was his lack of interest in taking classes in advanced battle strategies. He essentially took all of the other classes required for the major. He can be considered something of an honorary double-major and can fill in at the HCO station when requested. Because save for a more intensive understanding of battle strategizing, he basically majored in HCO as well just for fun.) | ||

He had roughly 4 years of extended education on those subjects back on Aurelia prior to joining Starfleet and thought he'd breeze through, learn new things for the slight extension into the xenoanthropology, and the things he was required to know outside of those things to graduate the academy, then take a lot of extra time getting a better understanding of humanoid social cues and culture. But after about a semester, he started getting mentally understimulated. He was learning new things, but not to the extent he would have liked. As some sort of in-joke with himself, he decided to take more intensive Engineering and Ops classes because he "might as well learn something new." It was an accident that ended up being his ''passion,'' and somewhat impulsive that he so quickly knew that he'd be happiest in the Engineering track since Aurelians aren't well known for being Starship Engineers. He still loves the sciences he has a degree in, but his passion for Engineering shockingly overpowered his desire to go into those sciences as a career for the time being. His family doesn't quite understand where it came from, but they are supportive of their sweet Engineering boy. | ||
** He still took some of those extra science classes on the side, is still extremely qualified for a science role if he wanted one, and can happily talk with scientists.

He's also taken a good number of psychology courses for the sake of curiosity and keeps up to date on basic first aid training because you never know when you'll need it in a crisis. | ||

He stayed in the academy an extra year and a half by request and of his own volition because he wanted to give a few extra things the old college try before being placed somewhere. That time was also the time he took the most opportunity for more in-depth social things since those intensive Engineering classes among a number of others took up the social time he planned in his brief stint in the science track. And he already knew he was good to go once he was ready. | ||

He strives to emulate her strength and leadership in his own ways and wishes to do well enough at his job on the station to make her proud. Dekas also considers her a friend. More than she realizes, most likely. He's very smart and does recognize why someone might label her as 'stand-offish'. But in his mind, it is less 'stand-offish' and more 'stoic and serious'. She is a Captain, and she's gone through a lot. Because of that, he understands the degree of separation from most officers. He takes into account the need for professionalism first and is always sure to follow it as one of the first means of interacting with her under regular circumstances. But not-so-deep-down he hopes to one day gain a level of bond with her that is both professional and simultaneously a genuine friendship from both sides. Not that he doesn't already act that way when given the opportunity, of course. His love for those he considers his friends is pure and unconditional. So as it stands, there is no condition that requires someone to feel the same level of friendship for him to already consider someone a good friend. The Captain included. | ||

But he really became acquainted with him when they had a really good conversation (and a little cheeky flirt) in the Replimat during shore leave. They made plans to hang out, maybe skydive out of a shuttle eventually. However, during an Award's Ceremony, some feelings were solidified for Dekas after he got absolutely blitzed on alcohol and invited an equally drunk Yael up to his quarters for the night. Which Yael accepted. Dekas feelings solidified in the morning after while he was sober. He really likes Yael, he wants to get to know him and be good friends. And he enjoys the romantic side of it as well. He enjoys all of it. Still a little nervous about counseling, but he's working himself into that. | ||

He thinks she's funny and is very excited to get chances to interact with her more. He's never been deterred by the idea of Vulcan logic which she seems to exude a lot of. He values her opinions and input. He also thinks she's fun. After they moved to Denali Station they finally found the chance to bond, and with a very simple gesture of taking his hand when he felt vulnerable, Sera gained Dekas' trust in a way many people don't even try to gain. So regardless of what she thinks of him, he considers her a close friend and hopes to be even better friends with time. | ||

Sometimes visiting humanoids call her Jockey in their accent and she is also okay with that) is Dekas' favorite niece. They get along swimmingly and relate to each other on how much they each stand out. And while they are different personalities, they do have a similar sense of humor, and surprisingly similar life goals. She's the daughter of Eris and Eris' bondmate Khess'Qi. She stands out with a very different color of feathers to both of her parents as she is a mixed bird from two differently feathered flocks. She is 20 years old now, newly an adult by Aurelian standards. She can sort of be considered a student as she is picking up fluency in Federation Standard. But she isn't in official university classes yet otherwise as she's considering a Starfleet career, potentially. A lot like Dekas, but in her case, she would prefer to know which college she's attending rather than attending both Aurelian and Starfleet colleges. (Her attention span is such that she wouldn't enjoy going to college twice as Dekas did. Just one is fine, thanks.) She wants to talk to Dekas about it before she fully solidifies her decision as he's the one person she'd trust to say what she needed to hear either way. So for now she's enjoying her life as a cultural adult until she knows for sure where she wants to take things in her career. Dekas doesn't know this yet. | ||

Dekas put his focus on getting into Starfleet once he left. They message each other off and on. It's been a while since Zara has tried to respond or start a conversation much more than a short message or two in a number of years, so Dekas isn't sure what he's up to currently. And he didn't really reach out to Zara's family much when he took his LOA in the summer of 2398. Dekas still loves Zara deeply. But Zara is somewhat emotionally unavailable and has unintentionally toyed with his feelings. He’s always had odd tendencies to return his affections for a short time before cutting him off without warning. Dekas prefers to focus on things in his present situations and relationships, and tries not to feel disappointed by a lack of communication from him. But because of a certain degree of confusing flirtations and courtship adjacent actions whenever Zara is around him, there are unrequited, unresolved feelings about Zaraleek-Om nonetheless. | ||
