Tildaen Ethelwin: Difference between revisions

** '''Telepathy between telepaths''': Tildaen has been raised using telepathy when amongst his own people. He is still able to express himself better telepathically. He does not stutter when he does not have to vocalise, and emotions are exchanged more openly.  

** '''Masculine posturing:''' He is attracted to confidence, or even arrogance, in men. This also explains his interest in Klingon language and culture.

** '''Spirituality''': Tildaen has had bad experiences with Betazoid traditions and culture, and has substituted his childhood values with a strong belief in (secular/scientific) Federation ideals. He can be a little distrustful of 'spiritual peoples', such as Bajorans. He is perfectly tolerant of other people, but will be very dismissive about their beliefs.

** '''Counselling Therapy sessions''': Spending a year in a closed mental institution has not enhanced his confidence in the psychiatric profession. He has had to deal with counselors for most of his life, and feels that he knows their tricks better than they do themselves.  

** '''Engineering challenges''': Tildaen has no affinity with engineering whatsoever. He is a happy ''consumer'' and ''user'' of technology, but the last person you'd want to open a maintenance hatch and go fix something. When challenged with a technical problem, he will enthusiastically get out there and make things worse, much tot he dismay of his old friend [[Reynolds, Quinn|Quinn Reynolds]]. He is not to be trusted with engineering tools, and is infamous among his classmates for once having tried to diagnose an engineering problem with a medical tricorder.

** '''Dominant women''': Bossy and dominant women tend to remind him of his mother, especially when they try to lecture him for bad behaviour. He will try to avoid them as much as he can.
