Name: Zakaria "Zak" Ames
Age: 32 (lifespan's about 160 years)
Looks: Zak has short brown hair (shaved at the sides), completely black eyes, and dark tan skin. He's about 5'8 with a lean, wiry build. Zak tends to wear flashy golden jewelry on his person, the only sign of his importance on his home-planet. His main outfit is a black turtleneck, a pair of gray jeans, and black boots.
Race: Betazoid
Skills: He is capable of lockpicking, stealth, basic first-aid, and cooking. 
Powers: Telepathy and empathy. The empathy is a little stronger so he doesn't really like crowds.
Personality: Zak's a very standoffish, blunt guy. While he is intelligent and capable under pressure, his personality tends to drive people away. Despite his air of indifference, he is very concerned about what others think of him and tries to avoid getting close to them because of it. This makes him fairly hard to get along with, but he has been making attempts to be a little more friendly to smooth out relations with those aboard the Enterprise.
Bio: Living on a planet of many races, it was not always an easy way of life. He grew up to constant feuds and very little privacy. As a part of a politically important family, he was expected to act in a way that was acceptable to all the different races and there were many times where he did not succeed. Zak's interactions with his family are stiff and businesslike. They aren't very close and he was sent aboard the Enterprise to make peace because of the fact that he was the most disposable family member. While Zak was originally very frustrated and upset by this, he has grown to accept it and is even a little excited about the prospect of joining the Federation.
Rank: Lieutenant
Theme song: Leave A Trace by CHVRCHES
Quote: "Hm. You're lying."
Pairing: Spock
Weapons: Knives and hand phasers are the weapons he is best at using, but he will use other types of weapons if he must.
Other info: He is considered dangerous because he can be very persuasive when he wants to. Due to his ability to sense a person's feelings, Zak is aware that he could manipulate just about anyone to do what he wants. Luckily, he has no interest in doing so and tends to avoid interacting with a majority of people instead.
Hobbies: Cooking, meditating, sparring, reading, and putting together puzzles.
Pets: A tribble.
