Name: K`aravel

Nickname: "Tiny"

Affiliation: split Federation/Klingon Defense Force

Rank: Leiutenant

Gender: Male

Race: Genetically modified Klingon

Birthdate: Unknown

Hair: Black

Eyes: Golden Yellow

Height: 7' 8"

Weight: 435

Notable Features: Other than his enormous size and ebon hair, K'aravel's

eyes, a legacy of his Terran feline genes, are his most notable, as their

color changes with his mood, ranging from a brilliant golden when he is

happy to a deep, metallic shade when he is angered.

Family: raised in a scientific institution by the scientists of House Duras,

family is a touchy subject for him, as he never had any other than those of

his type, with whom he was constantly competing.

History: His early years are somewhat sketchy, however after the Duras

incident when he left the homeworld in a "borrowed" fighter (heaven only

knows how he managed to fit into the cockpit) he was taken in by a family of

humans on a small, uncharted planet, his adopted family was the remnents of

a Federation survey crew. After his family was rescued he spent a few years

doing odd jobs on Earth, eventually entering the Academy at the advice of

one Darian McMannan. At the Academy K'aravel speciallized in engineering,

having developed a fondness for technology and quite a knack for repairing

the unrepairable. Upon graduation from the Academy was assigned to the USS

Athens under his old friend McMannan, where he found himself stuffed under

various consoles, into Jeffries tubes, and other out of the way spots.

Languages: Klingon, Gaelic, English, and Vulcan (although his accent is

horrid when speaking Vulcan)

Skills: Engineer, "ducttape artist", Martial arts (both Klingon and Terran),

very capable pilot, weaponry. Is also a very stong telepath, albeit

untrained.

Hobbies: Bodybuilding, long distance running, building detailed scale

models, gymnastics.

Surface Personality: Very friendly, open and caring, almost always smiling.

True Personality: very much what he appears, although his caring goes deeper

than most would immagine, when aboard the Athens he strained himself badly

to get a shelter open to extricate several very young crewmen, the door was

jammed shut, and K'aravel literally ripped it from it's mountings, within an

hour he was removing rubble to get to a badly injured Klingon youth. Usually

prefers talk to fighting, but in a combat situation makes a VERY dangerous

opponent, as he is in full control of the "hunter self" that all his

subspecies possesses (not all can control the phenomenon). Has a soft spot

for children (a VERY soft spot for children)

Dislikes: people who dont maintain their equipment, all of the remenants of

House Duras. Anyone who would harm a child.

Likes: working on any high-tech system

:If it cant be fixed use more ducttape
