[list]Morai
[sub]Known to Terrans upon First Contact as the “Centauri” due to their occupation of the Alpha Centauri solar system, the Morai have had a long-storied connection with the Terran Republic. Distinct for their elf-like ears and mesmeric appearance, the Morai have the unique predisposition of being a race of long-lived neural empaths. The polar opposite of the Cephanians, the Morai are ruled by their extended neural evolution that purposes a connection that allows them to be dictated by the emotions of the people around them. Due to this empathic influence, the Morai have learned to compose themselves and restrict themselves from having strong emotions to minimalize the influence of external emotions around them. The Morai exhibit traits of understanding, emotional awareness, and a widened perspective often making them ideal officers in the security path; especially given that they can feel the emotions of potential threats. Terrans often consider them intrusive due to their empathic abilities. Above all else, the Morai are a long-lived race who live up to the age of eight hundred solar cycles (or years in Terran).[/sub][/list]

[list]Chief Security Officer [/list]
    [color=9A8BBC][sub][u]S K I L L S E T[/u][/sub][/color] 

[list]Since graduating from Starfleet Academy thirty-one years ago, Xaone has continuously worked to the best of her abilities as a Security Officer on several ship assignments including her first years on the USS Orwell. As she prepares for assignment on the USS Hawking it is evident that her competence as a security officer isn’t simply due to the longevity of her experience compared to someone of similar equivalent Terran age. Xaone is fairly well physically and mentally conditioned for the role of Chief Security Officer due to her competence at eliminating potential threats with her manner as well as her brawn; she is a storied diplomat, marksman, and martial artist. This aforementioned understanding of martial arts is known as Arauka’dagor, most [abbr=not similar at all]comparatively similar[/abbr] to the Terran variant known as Aikido. Additionally, her best subjects in the academy beyond the tactical and martial were Starfleet language and interstellar navigation.

In terms of her biological advantages, Xaone is hard to be ambushed or caught off guard due to her empathic link, though it is not an impossibility. If Xaone is emotionally compromised or overwhelmed by sensations she will be unable to detect much at all; this state is called “heart blind” by the Morai. Her emotional perception due to her empathic abilities is also unusable by Xaone when dealing with races and people who are emotionally deaf. [/list]

[list]Xaone appears standoffish and impulsive, though this is not that out of character for Morai of similar age and ambitions. She’s aggressive, confident, and impetuous, but she’s also dutiful, sympathetic, and thoughtful; she means well but sometimes gets lost in her disconnect, culture shock, and empathic abilities. In fact, due to her particular biological condition of being an empath she has felt the emotional compulsions of her fellows in Starfleet and unlike her elder siblings has felt a dissonance and discontent for it; oftentimes resulting in a confrontation with Terran officers who talk too freely within her in earshot. This intention to confront inappropriate emotions and words has led to more conduct reviews than she would like and despite still remaining in Starfleet has received the brunt of harsh criticisms from her familia and peers; Xaone always feels contempt when she returns to Erios when the opportunity (and expectation) arises.[/list]
    [color=9A8BBC][sub][u]H I S T O R Y[/u][/sub][/color] 

[list][hider=Childhood (2177-2299)][b]Xaone lb Er’saor[/b] was born on the planet of Qel Taeros in the Terran year of 2177 CE, her family still adjusting to the planet at the time due to their recent migration from Idlus Station. Finding themselves ajar in colonial space was part-assignment and part-adventure, but given the conflicts with the aggressively expanding Vox, interstellar anomalies, and a problematic First Contact situation with the Terran Republic several decades prior, the precedent had already been set. Xaone’s father, Maeruos, served as the central overseer of the Qel Taeros from 2177 onward. Due to its relative proximity to distant Terran colonies such as Apollo it became not only the first line of defense in case the Terrans broke the accords, but also a trading post that drew in Terran merchants and savants.

As a child, Xaone had several Terran acquaintances as a result of the [abbr=estimated at 19,000 Terran citizens in 2277]exponential growth rate[/abbr] the colony was experiencing from Terran immigration efforts, though due to their drastically different biology they would often experience maturity far quickly than she would. To her Terran friends she was the girl who was “forever” a child, to Saone they were acquaintances who were in their twenties, thirties, and forties before she had realized her first menstrual cycle. For an ignorant, naïve Morai child it was rather devastating and at times confusing. In fact, given her developing emotional core and the vast amount of emotions that her peers went through in what seemed like only a short time for her it was immensely frustrating. But surprisingly, these emotions did not deter her universal connection and interest with Terrans and their alien culture, biology, and nuances in general; though her interest being piqued as it was it would not be enough to stop her from soon realizing her pubescent phase of life was going to throw more curveballs in her direction than she could handle.

By 2296, Xaone had found herself finishing her basic educational evaluation courses as a colonial Morai and was now told it was time to choose what she wanted to do going forward. Her father preferred the option of her applying to the conservatorium like he had done when he was her age, though it was only one of many options and no choice was deemed better than any others. Whilst the honor of training to become a [i]sentinel[/i] was appealing, she oftentimes wondered if it was [i]enough[/i] to satisfy her urges. Humanity had become so ingrained on Qel Taeros and despite the subsequent fifty cycles of time that had passed she still held her interests and ambitions. Her oldest friend had always told stories about the prestige of Starfleet and it wasn’t an uncommon ambition for Morai youths to apply to the Terran institution now that the Morai and Terrans recognized each other as allies and peers rather than rivals and threats.

With that in mind and having no intent to disrespect, Xaone told her father she would be applying to Starfleet. There was no doubt that she wouldn’t get in based on her collective intelligence and ambitious motivation, but due to the peculiarity of applying for dual citizenship, loyalties had to be cemented by an oath of service. Once that was done before a royal court Xaone awaited the finalization of her citizenship and traveled to Earth to take the entrance exams. Shortly thereafter she was inducted into the Starfleet Academy as a cadet. Among her fellow first year cadets was a young man that would help her through the eccentrics of Earthborn culture—Thaddeus Antares.[/hider]
[hider=Starfleet Career & Terran-Martian War (2299-2330)]
When the Terran-Martian War broke out in 2315, Xaone was already serving on the [b]USS Orwell[/b] under [b]Captain Richard Liang[/b]’s authority. The vessel was inevitably recommissioned as a military spacecraft due to the conflicts that arose in the sector from the unrest between the Terran colonies and the republic itself. Being a security track officer on a newly minted military vessel, Xaone found herself put through several scenarios and experiences that tested her as not only a commissioned officer but more importantly as a [i]empath[/i]; due to how [i]strong[/i] emotions are felt by Morai, it did not make sleeping all the easier in the years to come. Xaone would remember for many sleepless nights how the sensation of death felt and the emotions leading up to it. Eventually, the Matriarch of Moros stepped in to support the Republic and in due time peace talks were made some years after the fact when the Terrans began to fear this civil war escalating into a intergalactic one. This, however, did not change the experiences and emotions Xaone experienced firsthand during the war. 

After the immediate end of the war Xaone requested a leave of absence to “contemplate” the emotions she had experience. However, the sentiment back home on Qel Taeros wasn’t the reprieve she was expecting. Due to the colonial’s outcry against the Republic, Qel Taeros had served as a base of operations for separatist sentiment and when the Morai had sided on the side of the loyalists a violent protest on Qel Taeros had resulted in many deaths and protests. The first act of her father’s governance of Qel Taeros was to evict all Terran rebels by force. Xaone had felt the strong emotional upset when she landed. It made her want to return to Starfleet sooner rather than later.

Since the war, Xaone has earned several ranks, though as her personality profile on this dossier suggests—she is not exactly in the running to be promoted to captain despite her having thirty-one years of experience within Starfleet.[/hider]
[hider=USS Hawking & Current Assignment (2330- )]
In the present date of 2330, on recommendation from Captain Thaddeus Antares, Xaone is ready to leave her storied experiences behind her and look [i]forward[/i] instead of back. Campaigning for a new type of voyage, Starfleet has commissioned a new exploratory vessel with the finest minds among the interstellar community. With twenty-five years of active duty under her belt Xaone is ready to follow along on this daring new enterprise. [/hider]

    [color=9A8BBC][sub][u]F L A W[/u][/sub][/color] 

[list]Xaone by Morai standards is “immature” and “unready”. Her brain is at the point of a youthful young adult and as such her emotional development is just out of her teenaged stage of being. Xaone is impulsive, and while this can be a quality for a security officer this also means she is prone to acting with her feelings over logic and rationale despite her fluency at subverting other people’s emotions from her own. She has a moderate feeling of dissonance and distance from Terran cultural quirks and mannerisms and she does not like being the center of attention or derision when fellow officers call her “space elf” or sexualize her for being. She has on occasion allowed herself to cross lines and give said fellow officers an [i]education[/i] in Morai martial arts.[/list]
