Lin La'Ra

Lin La'Ra is a Criminal Investigation Specialist currently serving on the U.S.S. Odysseus.

## Appearance

Her appearance is as the images before show, large, dark colored, with no signs of pupils, with a hint of fluff around her neck and antenna on her head that function as ears for her to go hear. Wearing a culmination of high end clothing that would rival most fashion experts, her clothes actually consist of long dresses made out of silk and cotton, with enticing features. Most notable would be her showing of her back leading almost her entire symbols of her body show.

## Personality

### In public

* She is serious, almost like a Vulcan her emotions never truly show, mostly due to how her world has decided that emotions are a plague that causes war and distrust among the people. She believes this to be untrue but cannot go against her world's laws even if she's far away from it, although this can be broken easily depending on who talks with her.
* Quiet, she doesn't talk or break out of line in the ship. She has no need too, no reason. Before in her own ship she'd speak more freely and openly but, after her colony ship was revoked and she was placed into the new job program she fell back into square one.
* Annoyed, She worked hard to gain the position of Captain in her ship only for it to be taken away by Starfleet. She doesn't hate the fleet, she just hates how her nation treated it, "Since colonization isn't highly necessary, we shall relieve you of captain and have you sign up into the enlisted core of Starfleet so that we can know how they operate."

Mysterious, something is being hidden, she hides something from those that follow her. What is this something won't be known to those that aren't close to her.

### In Private

* Outgoing and Joyful, if alone she is quite the opposite, she likes expressing her emotions and generally being happy. In simulator pods she enjoys fancy parties with lots of guests that would crack jokes and well feel and generally feel alive.
* Drummer, She goes hard on drums, it's strange how her planet has the same idea of drums as Earth's but, it doesn't change the fact she loves these things, matter of fact she has a collectors edition of drum sticks of her planet. Mostly due to how their planet refuses to declare art as anything other than useless she keeps this a secret even from the crew of Starfleet.
* Depressed, considering most of her hard work was completely taken away from her, she doesn't feel happy or joyful all the time. Sometimes she just cries in her own room or bed as quietly as possible.

## Trivia

She's one of the few that didn't have to take too long on Starfleet Academy to join StarFleet. Mostly due to her earlier position as a captain, she was let to take major classes only so that she at least had knowledge on how Starfleet operated in the area of security and military tactics. Essentially, she studied a 4 year curriculum again and had an earth degree.

Other trivia, is that she secretly played in a band as their drummer, not even the band knew her but whenever they played, she gave out the best drum sounds in the celebrations

### Likes

* She loves her drumming sticks and music in general.
* She likes fancy clothing and high end quality stuff, she even loves human or anything that is considered high fashion in her eyes.
* She likes meat, chunky meat. Her favourite human food that is meat based is hotdogs

### Dislikes

* She doesn't like dogs for some reason, they cause her a lot of fear and phobia, she's, while also thinking cats are just boring
* Anyone killing bugs around her… by obvious reason there is no need to explain this one
* Bug spray, it really bothers her nose a lot.

### Ambitions

Her greatest ambition is to become a massive Rockstar for her planet. But considering how her planet is doing, this ideal and ambition is left as a dream. Which gives way to her other ambition which was to become a great captain of someone with a high position of power, which was also removed after Starfleet appeared. Seems like her ambitions just keep getting mopped.

### Morals

Her morals are important and guide her into her future. She sees how unnecessary it is to make someone else suffer to suppress their emotions. If it means she'd be imprisoned, she'd comfort someone who is in dire need of it as she just wants to have everyone be happy as much as she wishes to be happy.

## History

In her upbringing Lin was classified as the lower class of her species, the mantis that are almost impar with the males of their species who are essentially a species of males that can't think higher than an elementary schooler. She and her mother and sister grew up to become something that they never had. Her sister decided to stay and follow her dreams while she followed hers but did everything to rise through the allegations of her species that she'd never push out of being a low level creature that will never become a name of herself. But they sadly were completely wrong, she worked, fought, trained and studied to become a higher rank in society, finishing her studies in mantis prime as a captain to command just a small but important colony ship. She had done it, she had become what those under the rank of middle class would wish, no higher than them! But this victory was short lived after Starfleet appeared

After the appearance of Starfleet, the need of colony ships went down significantly to the point of useless and with this came to her having to resign into a new task team to join, the Starfleet academy and help the new allies in their ships she lost almost everything she worked for just because this entire culmination of species appeared out of nowhere and made peace with the mantis. Now her new goal is to become higher and stronger than when she was a captain, she'll do this one way or another.

She retook the classes inside the academy, she studied hard and trained hard. Nothing's gonna stop her from accomplishing her own desired future.
