Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Lirana’s personality is a blend of her pre-joining and the Faux symbiont’s eclectic background. Once a focused, strict Security Officer with a no-nonsense attitude, she is evolving into a more approachable individual. Although she occasionally wrestles with the conflicting memories of seven hosts and over 700 years. This duality makes her empathetic yet prone to distraction. Her adjustment period lingers, in moments of unexpected bursts of humor, as she navigates motherhood and her new life. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: Adaptability: Her Starfleet training and the Faux symbiont’s diverse experiences enable her to handle unexpected challenges, from managing her shop to counseling others Empathy: Influenced by hosts like Ariona and Halia, she connects deeply with her customers, offering a listening ear Resilience: Her security background gives her strength Weaknesses: Imbalance: The abrupt joining with the Faux symbiont causes occasional disorientation, affecting her focus Over-Relaxation: The symbiont’s lighter influence sometimes undermines her former discipline, leading to procrastination. Family Friction: Her softened demeanor clashes with Torin’s need for structure and Sela’s confusion, straining their bond. |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | Lirana’s pre-joining drive has been tempered by the Faux symbiont’s diverse influences, making her more approachable yet prone to introspection. She now enjoys sketching (a nod to Laran) and sailing (from Ariona), though these new hobbies sometimes clash with her children’s routines. The adjustment period lingers, with flashes of Terrin’s personality surfacing unexpectedly, adding complexity to her daily life. | |
| Languages | Federation Standard, Trill, various languages due to previous hosts |
| Personal History | Early Life Born in 2360 on Trill, Lirana Rex grew up in a disciplined household, her parents both Starfleet officers who instilled a strong sense of duty. A driven and focused individual, she excelled in tactical training at the Trill Defense Academy before joining Starfleet in 2382, graduating in 2386 with a specialization in security. Her early life was marked by strict protocol and an unwavering commitment to her career. Starfleet Career After serving in Starfleet for years, Lirana was briefly assigned to Starbase 50 in 2395. During an away mission to investigate a Klingon distress signal near the Klingon Neutral Zone, she was paired with retired Rear Admiral Terrin Faux. The mission turned dangerous when an ambush left Terrin severely injured, requiring an emergency transfer of the Faux symbiont. At 35, Lirana, the only Trill present, became its new host. The sudden joining triggered a severe imbalance, leading to a rough adjustment period marked by disorientation and conflicting memories. Overwhelmed with the entire event, Lirana resigned her commission in late 2395, seeking a quieter life. Personal Life After resigning, Lirana spent some time on Trill before moved to Deep Space 5, where she opened a small coffee shop, “Rex’s Roast,” in 2396. A single mother to two children—Torin, a 5-year-old boy, and Sela, a 3-year-old girl—she balances her new venture with parenting. The Faux symbiont’s influence has softened her once-strict nature, introducing a lighter, more carefree demeanor. This shift has caused friction at home, as Torin resists the change and Sela struggles with her mother’s occasional absent-mindedness. Deep Space 5 At Rex’s Roast, Lirana serves a blend of coffee from everywhere, creating a haven for station residents and travelers. The shop’s relaxed atmosphere reflects her new outlook, though she avoids high-stakes commitments, a stark contrast to her Starfleet days. She occasionally counsels younger Officers, drawing from previous hosts’ experiences, but likes to keep a low profile to focus on her family.
