Kalara Avran: Difference between revisions

Kalara’s father was a low level official in the Ullian government, often suffering from a lack of ambition. She idolized her mother, however, who was trained in and proficient at in telepathic memory reconstruction. Unfortunately, this often meant that her mother was away for extended period times both around Ullia, and eventually, off-world. Kalara always looked forward to her return and her stories. However, as the absences grew longer in duration, Kalara grew closer and closer to her father and when the time came, sought to follow in his footsteps in the Ullian government.

Kalara found employment in the Ullian Central Security Services, the police force responsible for global law enforcement. Although Ullian society is relatively stable, there are violent crimes from time to time. Kalara quickly rose the ranks and became an Investigator in the division of the security services tasked with investigating psionic crimes. Rare as these crimes were, the severity of criminal investigations wore on Kalara, especially when she was dispatched to cooperate with foreign security forces in crimes that involved other species. The travel benefited Kalara, though, by expanding her understanding of other species and their cultures and practices. Trained through the security forces for advanced telepathic abilities, including telepathic memory reconstruction (for criminal investigations), Kalara grew weary of using her talent in telepathic interrogations, often thinking back on her mother’s stories and her opportunities to travel the stars in pursuit of knowledge and growth. There was something about this that she envied and this envy was the seed of the doubt that precipitated a change in career.

Kalara doesn't often speak of the specific incident that led to her resigning from her position with the Ullian Sercurity Services. Only the closest members of her inner circle know. There isn't much that she doesn't share with her friends and colleagues but this is one of her more closely guarded stories, reserved to those she trusts without doubt.  

Kalara was posted to Starbase 57 as a junior staff counselor following a short internship after graduation from Starfleet Academy. Shortly after the organization of the Andaris Task Force, Counselor Avran was placed on temporary assignment to DS26 and subsequently assigned to the USS Blackwell, fulfilling her ambition to be assigned to a starship. She is looking forward to their adventures.

* '''Temperament''': Kalara considers herself an extraverted introvert. She enjoys socializing with friends and colleagues, organizing get togethers and always in attendance to group events; however, she needs time to recharge. She balances her social life with a variety of meditation practices. As talkative as she can be socially, Kalara is a keen listener and motivational interviewer. She draws of these skills in her role as a Starfleet counselor.

Kalara trained as a counselor at Starfleet Academy following her resignation from the Ullian Security Services. She followed the standard counseling cirriculum and focused additional time in courses in diplomacy and mediation.
