Lt. Skylaris Everglast is a diplomatic officer on the USS Odyssey.

## Background

Skylaris was born in the city Rotterdam, she was an only child and grew up in quite a busy area. This meant that she was quite used to crowded places at a very young age, this led to her being able to navigate crowded places with relative ease.

When she was at the age of 8, she had made a lot of friends. She socialized with everyone she saw, this meant that she picked up new accents and languages at a relatively young age. She immediately fell in love with the concept of talking to others in their native languages, hence why she started to study new languages from all over the UFP.

When she was 12, her parents figured out that Skylaris was quite good at having arguments with them. So they decided to send her to debate school, just for the fun of it. What they didn’t expect was that she was actually a skilled debater and won most discussions by a long shot.

This hidden skill of hers led to her growing an interest in politics and diplomacy, combining this with the fact she loved other languages and you had a pretty skilled diplomacy officer. However, she wanted something more eventful then politics.

At the age of 16, she applied for starfleet academy, she got accepted and she went on to follow her courses, this included bridge training. She decided to join the Dep department. She would be a valuable asset seeing her skills in diplomacy and languages that she gained in the academy. She didn’t think any other department would fit her seeing her variety of skills.

In the academy she wanted to know more about species’ cultures, hence she studied ethics and protocol. That way she would be a more valuable officer and she’d have more information on the topics she liked. When she mastered those courses at the age of 20, she applied for her first assignment as diplomatic officer. It got accepted and she went on a 5 year patrol mission along the neutral zone.

On that mission she showed her skills in linguistics and diplomacy rather quickly. She was found to be one of the more skilled debaters among the diplomacy corps and was sent with some diplomacy missions to translate and to add to the conversation if needed.

At the age of 27 she returned back to earth and was greeted with open arms. She was happy to see her parents again and went to go on and enjoy some free time. She joined a debate club and started spending a lot of time there. Besides that however, she also trained her combat and piloting skills, seeing she wanted to be in top shape for her new assignment.

When she turned 28 she was pretty much all set for her new assignment, when she heard she actually got one, she was as excited as ever. She packed her bags, said her family and friends goodbye and headed on out, onto the ship. Hoping to make new friends and gain new experiences.

## Appearance

5’11”, red hair, grey-light blue eyes, agile, slim but fit body

## Personality

She has a very diverse personality. She likes to socialize, but if you upset her she will give you the cold shoulder for a long time. She isn’t easily insulted on the one hand, but if you insult her she will be mad. She’s always been open for new ideas and experiences, but she can be very stubborn about her own plans at that. Basically, she’s both extremes into one.
