Eoqtt Qhlat

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Eoqtt Qhlat, *(IPA: iˈɒk-t ˈklæt; phonetic: Ee-ok-t Klat)*, is a Bolian. His skin color is a light blue, accented with very pale blue, almost white, bands on his head, which, as with most Bolians, is hairless. He has green eyes and stands at 186cm, (6'1").

Due to an injury sustained during the medical evacuation in the aftermath of the Siege of AR-558, during the Dominion War, he has a biosynthetically replaced right shoulder.

### **Personality**

Eoqtt has the stereotypical Bolian warm and friendly personality, with a self-deprecating edge to his sense of humor, belying his confidence in himself as a capable medical officer with a proven ability to stay calm "under fire". He is always ready with a joke, though sometimes he can go a little too far with his attempts at risqué humor. Having been born and raised away from Bolius IX, spending almost his whole life living in Paris, he speaks with a decidedly Parisian French accent, which is evident even through the Universal Translator.

## **Biography**

Eoqtt was born on Stardate 28207.13, (March 24, 2351), to a Bolian diplomat, (Vaman Qhlat, b. 2326), and his wife, (Ciasa, b. 2326). His birth occurred on Vulcan, since his father was stationed there, at that time. His family moved to Earth in 2354, when his father became part of the Bolian delegation at Starfleet's governmental center in Paris. His parents and two siblings, (Ardonor (m), b. 2354; Hezena (f), b. 2358), were still living in Paris at the time of his entry into the Starfleet Academy.

On graduating from Starfleet Academy as part of the Class of 2373, he was posted to the USS Veracruz, (where he had served on his Cadet Cruise), as a Junior Physician's Assistant. Eoqtt saw action in the Alpha Quadrant during the Dominion War, including being part of the medical evacuation team at The Siege of AR-558, (2375), during which he was severely injured when a Dominion explosive device detonated nearby, as he was tending to wounded. The blast caused a large shard of rock to destroy his right shoulder, requiring its replacement with a biosynthetic joint implant. During his time in recovery he used creative writing, as a way to deal with the situation and learned about prosthetics and cybernetics, to better understand the complexities of his implant.

He was promoted to Lieutenant jg on Stardate 56864.21, and reassigned from the USS Veracruz to the USS Ross-Lee, a Nebula-class ship assigned to long-term scientific exploration duties at the edges of Federation space, in the Beta Quadrant, where he took the post of as a Physician's Assistant. A bureaucratic error meant that the Ross-Lee started 2381 with too many medical personnel aboard. The staff held a lottery to see who would request a transfer, and Eoqtt was one of the two, and as a consequence he was briefly posted aboard Narendra Station, whilst awaiting his new posting aboard the brand new USS Ross. During his time on the Ross he has performed well, particularly in the aftermath of the incident that saw the USS Thunderchild rescued by the Ross, after they were disabled, resulting in 147 injuries and 21 confirmed deaths, where his experiences in triage medicine proved most useful.
