Quick stretch-aroo, then back to writing. (I figured out what I needed from my main POVs, so hopefully the rewrite comes easily now.)
QUESTION:
Let's say you're on a Star Trek episode as the alien-of-the-week.
You're playing a member of a new species, which is based on your name (or username), personality, and interests:
What's your species called, what's its deal, and why's it running into a Starfleet crew?
I am an exiled Organian, a member of a very long lived species. Set adrift in space, alone, within a space ship that can provide all my basic needs for centuries. I was exiled for the crime of extreme empathy, rationality, and forbearance. My species is highly war like, and combativeness is seen as a virtue. In a moment of rare mercy they sentenced me to exile rather than death.

Throw in some Klingon opera, and it sounds like you're set for life. :)
