Character Development Question Part 2 - Ceyren

1. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

“Don’t say you’re sorry.” I think that is the most over used phrase. Mostly, because people use the phrase “Sorry.” Too often in the wrong context.

2. What or who is the greatest love of your life?

“Wow, right now it would have to be exploration and combat. Both are extremely close to my heart. I could say some other things, but I am not sure about them at this time. So I will let you know as I become more sure.”

3. When and where were you happiest?

“I am happiest when I am doing something new, and doing it on the bridge of a ship or on a planet, doesn’t matter as long as I am doing it.”

4. Which talent would you most like to have?

“To be a contortionist, or just naturally good with any weapon I picked up.”

5. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

“That is actually a very deep question to ask. I could go the superficial route, but I won’t because I actually love my body. If I could change one thing about myself, it would be able to suppress my needs a little bit better. My race is naturally very sensual and sexual. I am by their standards considered 10x the normal output. A normal Orion female would be nice ha, ha.”

6. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

“To be determined the day I die, by the people who I serve with and around.”

7. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?

“I am not sure to be honest, I don’t feel that I have experienced enough yet in my life to be able to answer that question with enough conviction to be believed.”

8. Where would you most like to live?

“Risa. Everyone wants to live on Risa.”

What would Ceyren do? Part 3

What would Ceyren Do?

Part 3

Good Morning, Afternoon, and or evening. Welcome back to what would Ceyren do, are talk show panel where we the readers/Author get to ask questions to the Captain of the U.S.S. Spartan, Ceyren Nightshade. Todays question was supplied by Eric.

He Asked : "Ceyren if you could have one super human ability, what would it be and why?"

Ceyren lets herself relax and rest her arm on her chair, playing with the leather on the seat a little bit. It was a good question, one worth a good answer, even though, most questions of this nature, were selfish in origin.

"Thank you for your question Eric. I am going to answer this one a little less seriously than I would answer most questions. I am an alien to begin with, which already gives me some abilities that, would be preseaved by your culture to be superhuman. But that is not the reason you asked the question, you asked because you want to know what I fantasize about being able to do, that I am not already able to do.

So, if I could have any one special ability, it would have to be, the ability to go out of phase at will. So that I could pass through Hazards without harm, or make my way into area's that would normally be inaccessible to others.

I hope that answers your question.

So now I ask a the same question to the readers, what ability would you have and why?"

Ceyren Character Development Questions Part 1

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

“That is a silly type of question to ask. To have an idea of perfection, first assumes I would know what would be perfect for me. I don’t know what that would be. What is the closest thing to perfect for me, based off of who I am right this moment. Hmm, that is a harder question, I guess. What makes me happy is exploring, I love to explore. I am not talking about just jaunting around the Galaxy, but I am talking about the thrill of the unknown. I want to explore everything, to learn as much as I can, and to never stop doing that. I thrive in learning, but I also thrive in the heat of the moment. So perfection would being able to express my passion endlessly, and learn without ever running out of things to learn.

I don’t want to be perfect, but the pursuit of perfection, the gaining of knowledge, that appeals to me on a level I couldn’t dare ignore.”

What is your greatest fear?

“What is any Captain worst fear. Not being enough. Fast enough, Smart enough, Diplomatic enough. I want my crew to be happy, to survive to make it home, and for every single one of them to survive. Losing my crew because of my own inadequacies is my greatest fear. My second greatest fear, is that I will never find what will complete me as an individual. I have such a thirst for love and life, and passion and lust, that sometimes I don’t think I am static enough for real happiness.”

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

“I deplore the way I view others who don’t measure up to my high standards. I think I am far too great of an Elitist for my own good.”

What is the trait you most deplore in others?

“People who refuse to learn about others cultures, and make snap judgements without learning as much as possible. Inadequacy, lack of drive, no motivation, and laziness in general.”

Which living person do you most admire?

“Admiral Janeway and Worf. Both act as a reminder to me how far one can travel on pure will alone. They are still active strong individuals in both communities they belong to. Influence the shape of the galaxy, nah the universe by just being. They are both getting on in years, but they don’t let them slow them down one bit. I plan to be dead before I stop trying my best to affect some type of change. I know they do too.”

What is your greatest extravagance?

“To most of you it probably sounds completely rubbish, but clothing. I love fashion and all things to do with it. I sneak peeks while doing other work, at the galactic fashion trash magazines. Shh, don’t tell anyone. I own a wardrobe that would take up three standard size quarters on a ship, again shhh, don’t tell anyone.”

What is your current state of mind?

“Based off of current event’s happening to me, inside of my journey. I would have to say excitement and a little bit of apprehension. I am excited to have my own task force, and that I am getting to hand pick the crew. But I am worried that I am not up to the task, because if I don’t do it right it can mean a massive loss of life. That scares me more than I will ever let on.”

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

“Righteousness. I think that Righteousness comes from Pride and Envy, and those it’s consider a virtue, I see it more as a vice. People do the worst things in the name of righteousness. I mean look at earth History. The crusade was done in the name of Righteousness. Look at the murder of different cultures, based off of a false ideology that someone is better than someone else. It sickens me.”

On what occasion do you lie?

“I am an Orion. If I didn’t lie I would like, totally not be an Orion. Now do I do it regularly, no, because lying to much causes people to doubt your intention. But will I bend the truth to protect those dear to me. Damn straight, in a hot second.”

What do you most dislike about your appearance?

“Eww, body image issues much. I don’t agree with this question, because I wasn’t raised to look at myself that way. Everything about me is beautiful, everything, no matter what it is. So no real answer to this question, because no issues with my appearance.”

Which living person do you most despise?

“Well, damn this is a hard question, because having been part of the Klingon Defense Force for so long, those who I despised often wound up dead. I know I am a little bit of a sociopath. So sue me. How to answer this, I guess I would have to say I despise leaders who put their own personal needs above those that they were sworn to protect and elevate.”

What is the quality you most like in a man?

“There are two qualities in a man I look for, Intelligence and athletic build. I want my children to be superior specimens of individuality. Intelligence and Athletic qualities are genetic, whether we want them to be or not. So in a male that is what I look for.”

What is the quality you most like in a woman?

“What quality do I like most in a woman. I killer mind, a beautiful body, and appetite for sex that has no end. But mostly I love women who fight for who they are, and don’t apologize for it. That totally gets my juice flowing.”

What would Ceyren do? Part 2 (Reader/Commenter Response)

Wow that was quick, we have a first reader submitted question.

Emma Storm Wrote:

I have a question for you, What is one thing that you could bring to earth to help us out; be it legal system or culture or anything, that the earth puts into effect. What would it be and why?

Ceyren chucklese from her Captain chair, legs crossed hands resting gently in her lap.

"Thank you Emma for your response. It seems that your message you sent me is dated from the 21st Century. It is very interesting to see that you have found a way to send message across Time. Needless to say, I will try to frame the Answer to my question within your Temporal Index.

I would bring the part of my Culture that doesn't frown on sex, or the expression of sex to the Earth Culture of the 21st Century. I mean even in our time period, humans are a little less than open about their sexuality. I think in some ways it complicates things, that aren't needed. Fights are had more easily.

No ironically if i were to do that, it be a little less hard for me a little ole' Orion girl to control the men around me, but that wasn't what your question was. I think there is strength in own your sexuality to the fullest, in a way that can't be argued with. No mater what that is."

Not a lot out there on Orions

So as most of you are aware, the main character of this story is an Orion. Orions are a race of green humanoid beings. From the Orion Star System. Wonder where they got the name from? (Sarcastic giggles)

Ironically though, for as often as they are used throughout the Star Trek Universe, there is surprisingly little out there on the webs about them culturally, as well as details about their planet. Now Memory Core Alpha and Beta have some details.

Like they are a Matriarchal society Masquerading as a Patriarchal Society. That they are highly sexual. That they believe in Slavery. That they are Part of the Klingon Empire. And that they have a Syndicate that is constantly ruining their good name. That could be argued, that Orion's have ever had a good name, but that's not what this post is about.

They are said to be Seductive and cunning. The women produce Pheromones that can control lesser peoples minds. So that the rough just of things that I have been able to accumulate. That being said, as the main character comes from there, I am having to improvise some of the ideas, cities and culture thingies.

So if you see something that you never read before about this culture/race, then I probably made that shit up lol. If you have reference material that you would like me to review to help make my Orion's more authentic please do share in the comments.

Thank you have a great one.
