Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Devin is many things from her devil-may-care attitude and always up for anything that is a challenge, She will play light pranks too full bloom mischief depending on the situation and reason behind it. She is always up for any challenge. Greatly enjoys trying new things from sports she's never done, games puzzles, to playing in various holo-adventures. Nearly boundless energy and is almost always on the move, rarely still for more than a few moments. Her free time is either in the kitchen or involved with one project or another, but she'll drop all plans to spend time with a friend. She is a free spirit, seems to trust openly but if her trust is broken, the guilty party can expect long term vengeance in return. Is protective of what she feels is hers and has a large soft spot around kids. Still very playful and often cheeky! | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Intelligent Imaginative Free spirit Energetic +/- very playful and cheeky Her bad points Has no patience for bullies and deals with them in various ways depending on how they're bullying. Will tell anyone off if she feels the need to regardless of the rank the other person may have. Prankster Protective of what she feels is hers Vengeful when wronged-trust broken Very limited telepathy, meaning she needs to either be within her visual range of the person to either send or hear thoughts. She is far from an expert and usually only gets random 'loud' thoughts, unless she knows the person very well then she might hear more. She can usually send a thought to anyone unless they have trained to ignore other telepaths or they just don't hear her. Using her limited telepathy for extended periods of time causes her migraines that can put her off her feet for days or longer if not properly tended too. While her eyes are well suited to the darkness the bright lights can give her problems if she does not find focus elsewhere. Which she uses as an excuse to be on the move, it changes her point of focus. Good-bad-points Slightly smaller heart and slightly larger lung capacity than most humans. Good with linguistics, current languages known, Federation basic, Romulan, Vulcan, Cardassian, Italian, Japanese, Bajoran, Andorian, many others including those used only in books, Quenya (Elvish) from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien,R’lyehian from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Dothraki, and mando'a to name a few. |

Adores ballroom dancing. She loves to cook real food, but is far from perfect and only has five recipes that she is confident with sharing. Devin adores music and will listen to nearly anything from opera, classical, to jazz, rock, j-pop, among others. However she doesn't like Klingon opera however and will promptly exit any room it is playing in, even if she is supposed to stay put. Quirks include, Adores chocolate, cheesecake, and peppermint often drinks Barqs root beer or Dr Pepper soda ***Her secret hobby is crocheting, she is not very good in fact she is terrible at it often there are several holes, and or the completed project is an awkward shape, but she puts a lot of effort and thought into a project so if she cares enough to give as a gift it means a lot to her.*** |
| Personal History | Devin and her older twin sister Charlotte were born to a pair of young Isiseans who appeared to be stealing various things to make a living. The shuttle they were born on was littered with various things that obviously didn't belong to the pair, either way it is uncertain about the true events that lead to the shuttle crashing and leaving the newborns with deceased parents. Samuel Reed found the shuttle's escape pod during his morning ride through the woods, with the babies within, he brought them back to the cabin where his husband rented for family getaway. As luck would be with the babies Samuel and Damian were also Isiseans and had adopted an Isisean orphan a year earlier, so they had no concerns other than making sure the baby girls wee okay. After taking them to a medical emergency center they were pronounced as healthy despite the fact they appeared to be premature. After a few weeks spent in incubation the babies were released into Damian and Samuel's care they returned to their home on Jupiter station and raised their young charges as well as any other family. The kids were taught the rules of living among regular folks and knew whom to trust with knowing they were the tiny felines running about the station. Most of the kids adventures went well enough minus a few instances were they had snuck aboard a star ship to deal with bullies. In school Devin and Charlotte were ahead of the curve and skipping several years ahead even passing by their elder brother Nathaniel in his studies. Devin applied for Starfleet at 12 years old and kept applying until she was accepted at age 14 with the consent of both guardians. During the time between sending off another application to Star Fleet Academy, Devin dove into various sports and books and picked up numerous language skills during competitions and wanting to learn more about others cultures. Once she was approved for entrance at 14, she applied herself with flare, mostly. During course studies she was near perfect student. After class hours she was into one type of mischief more another leading to numerous warnings. After graduation she has bounced from one posting to another for missions and undercover details, a well as CO trading her for another less cheeky officer. Her rank means nothing to her as it goes up when her Co is pleased with her but down again when she pisses off the wrong person. Devin will do the right thing for her shipmates or those in need no matter, the personal cost. She will never leave a friend behind and has openly defided orders to go get shipmates who might have otherwise been left for lost. ***Notes on her race, not everyone knows, the captain does because he has the right to know he will decide whom else to tell officially. While older crew and civilians whom might have had interactions with another Isisean in the past, feel free to PM me and we can point out the traits you would notice for her. Race: Isisean, original race designated Omegan. Unlike Earth Humanoids, Isiseans are able to manipulate their cell structure so that they can take on feline appearance. This process of cellular metamorphosis it taught to the young at an early age as early as two to four months old, while most species are crawling. Almost all master it before reaching their teens. Isiseans who do not train as children are less likely to develop their abilities later due to physiological changes between children and adults. It is not clear how Isisean or Omegan came to have this ability as much of their history was lost when the Isiseans splintered off from the Omegans. It is believed that long ago both races originated from a felidae ancestry and later evolved humanoid features. Socially conjecture has resulted in this being a hot topic with many debating which is their natural form, Cat or Humanoid. However the majority of the population commonly adopt a humanoid form during their daily lives, possibly to better enable interacting with other humanoids. The ability to change comes at an early age and is not dissimilar to puberty in Humans. Those who do not train as children are less likely to succeed in developing the ability later in life. Originally Omegan but split off from the main group as they did not agree with the main group's goals, that being the defeat of Earth and removal of Starfleet and the Federation. Theses ex-Omegans traveled far and wide dropping off in small groups on various human settlements before a larger group settled in after finding a new home deep in the far reaches of the Beta quadrant. They started calling themselves Isiseans, and left it at that. These people are in general of medium build and are varying in skin tone and color as any regular human. Their eyes are sometimes dual colored (heterochromia iridium) though more often than not they have eyes the same color like most humans. Usually only Isisean with parents having heterochromia iridium will get it as well but it usually skips generations. What makes these folks different from humans is very slight differences, very slightly smaller hearts, larger lung capacity. Telepathic neural pathways in their brains. They are naturally telepathic with each other and can hear thoughts of others with in these restrictions. Either within visual sight of the person whose thoughts they are meant to hear, have a connection of emotional sort from concern to love even hate if the person is considered an enemy. Otherwise they would not hear the thoughts unless there was extreme volume in the thought. Most are bright light sensitive. Their hearing is almost as good as a Vulcans. Their sense of smell is very strong and often leading to allergic responses to various pollens, pollution, and the like. In general most Isisean are playful curious folks that want to enjoy life, living. Intelligent and often capable of interesting creations but they don't often keep with their inventions. Some having tired of the rather tame existence, began traveling again some choosing to smuggle aboard star ships after riding in on various freighters to starbases. Being a ship's cat having adventures with being able to come and go coming and go as they please. That is what sets the Isiseans apart the most, the ability to go from human to cat and back again. The risks are strong though, any injuries that are gained in one form remain when returning to the other. Lose any eye as a cat, it is lost when returning to human form. The few Isiseans that have left their homes over the years come back sharing tales and traveling stories. Some do not return having either died in a glorious misadventure or just choosing a new life elsewhere. Some Isiseans have recently begun negotiations to join the Federation, offering their small size adventurous natures along with a generous amounts of miszinite ore among others that they'd uncovered in previous years and have too little uses for. Currently only three have officially gone through Starfleet Academy, the others that have joined ships five to date have remained as civilian additions (mascots with CO knowledge of who and what they are along with those the CO trusts to know). Additional notes; all is based off of Star Trek: The Original Series episode, Assignment Earth - with Gary Seven and his feline companion Isis. With information taken from the original script, comic books and a lot of guesswork. *** ***Some of the names applied to her feline form when working with partner for an undercover mission, or acting as ship's mascot; Nova, Mercury, Serene.*** |
