Dekas: Difference between revisions

'''Lieutenant Commander Dekas''' currently serves as the '''Chief Counselor''' on the '''[[USS Ronin]]'''

* '''Full name:''' Dekas

** (Name's meaning: ''"Fire that Ignites the soul" or "Ardent Passion".)''

''(He has a small degree of ESP, most Aurelians do as an adaptation to better their communication needs. He can't read minds, and he can't fully interpret emotions every time, but he does have an easier time of it than someone without ESP. It is at its most effective when he's emotionally balanced as the interpretation of the ESP intake is heavily intuition-based. It does make him aware of energy out of the norm on occasion. Such as the concept of ghosts or spirits. It also makes him very in tune with the nature around him. He can often tell if a plant is unhealthy even if it doesn't look it to anyone else.)''

* '''Height''': 6'4 (1.95m) Not including his head feathers. If his head feathers are pointed all the way up, he ''seems'' to be about a foot taller than that because his head feathers measure roughly 9-12 inches. But his feathers don't ''technically'' count toward his actual height exactly as feathers are more like hair growth comparatively, and he can rest them against his head a little bit to decrease height if he so chooses. They also fall out over time during molts and sometimes grow back shorter or longer by half an inch. It gives him the appearance of being much taller.

* '''Weight''': 136lbs (61.7kg)

* '''Hobbies and Pastimes:''' Socializing, singing, whistling. Small Engineering projects. Languages. 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.

* '''Likes:''' Helping people, learning new things, show-tunes and upbeat music, also punk and rock music, dancing, art, has a particular fondness for things that glow, flowers, bats, spiders, engineering. Hugs. Affection. When people give him lil cheek and face scritches and tell him his feathers are soft (he is liable to make contented little cooing sounds about it.) Head scritches (Dear god, have mercy on him he will melt if you get that far.) Friendship. Science. Animals. Men.

** 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.

Dekas was raised in the tropics of Aurelia. He is the youngest of 13 children hatched by Zuka and Daf. It is a lot to live up to, but he's doing his best to make a name for himself in the universe.  

As of now, he's taken on the role of Counselor, because while he still deeply loves Engineering, he felt called to something else and is taking things as they come.

* '''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. What have I said that he remembers that I don't? If not for his inability to lie I might have questioned why he didn't go into some part of the Intelligence track. Or maybe counseling. Really sweet guy, though."

* '''Overall review:''' "Smart, friendly, vibrant, kinda weird, but lovable... And definitely a ''huge nerd."''
