D'jinn D'jarva

Ensign D'jinn D'jarva is an engineer on the USS Odyssey.

## Background

Born on Rodetta III in the heat of the 100 year war, D'jinn grew up surrounded by war and violence, the effect this had on her was immense, luckily though, she was born into a family who was heavily involved with the Avenger Project, a group who had originally been focused on the restoration and upkeep of the U.S.S. Avenger. Learning from her father, an experienced engineer the inner workings of the ship, she became obsessed with the prospect of following in his footsteps. D'jinn was 19 at the end of the war, when Rodetta was destroyed. The refugee group she was a part of had been living in the Avenger when the ship's systems detected the immense seismic activity. The crew piloted the ship into orbit, then went to warp, eventually reaching the federation. D'jinn had little involvement with the negotiations made at the time, and instead focused on learning about her new home. Earth. She developed an obsession for a specific era of earth music, ranging from the mid 20th-21st century. Up to her early 30's when she was finally starting to mature properly, she was informed that she'd have to assist her race in repopulation and locating a suitable homeworld. Refusing to let herself be involved with *"the politics that got us here in the first place"* she studied up and joined Starfleet at age 32.

D'jinn was sociable during her time at the academy, her first 2 years went by in the blink of an eye, her third year however proved to be somewhat rocky, the first heat of many Rodetians can be a massive distraction, and her grades dipped slightly throughout the year, but once it had subsided she managed to regain her previous position as one of the higher achieving students in her classes, while she was not a straight A's student, she was close, ultimately receiving 2 A's 1 B and 2 C's respectively. Graduating at age 36, D'jinn went on to be assigned to a small escort vessel, the U.S.S. Dublin, she enjoyed her time on the vessel and made a few friends, the ship was ultimately scuttled during the Iconian War. Having spent a few months without assignment, and arguing with her family about her duties to her people, she received her assignment for the Odyssey and made her way off planet to her new ship.

## Appearance

D'jinn is 5'7 and weighs 164 lbs, her tail is 4.5 feet long and her ears are notably larger than some other Rodetians. Some members of the species have more prominent front teeth whereas she does not. She also has a very slender physique, with an Endomorphic build. Her eyes are a light shade of blue and her fur is more of a silvery colour

## Personality

Preferring to approach things with a more pacifistic approach, D'jinn will respect the commands of her superiors and ultimately avoid conflict, unless they oppose her morals, if an order will cause harm to others she may downright refuse. She has no distinct opinions of any species except humans, she takes interest in their creativity and outlook on life as a whole, enjoying how passionate the species is despite their shorter lifespan. She is otherwise friendly and outgoing, she enjoys making small talk while focusing on the task at hand, in tense situations, she may tend to make inappropriate jokes to soothe her own nerves.

## Psych Evaluation

As a pacifist, if a situation arises, D'jinn will struggle to choose a correct path, her belief in avoiding violence will heavily conflict with her desire to keep her fellow crewmates safe. D'jinn also shows slight signs of trauma, most likely from the loss of her people and her planet. If faced with a similar situation, deeply buried emotions and feelings may resurface.
