So a round from my brain cause I love music, are there any songs that instantly remind you of your OCs?
Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?
Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?
Brain round!!! :D 🍹 🍸
So a round from my brain cause I love music, are there any songs that instantly remind you of your OCs?
Yes!!!!! I've wanted to do one of those "one song per oc" type deals but I don't have one for everyone yet (and it doesn't feel right to do one without everyone named), so this is the perfect excuse to share what I do have! XD
Ceicive: Broken Machine (Nothing but thieves) and Love Like You (from Steven Universe)
Ceicive and Wilvous together: Fallin' For You (Colbie Caillat) early on, and Still The One (Orleans) later down the line <3
Toka: Pay Me My Money Down (Bruce Springsteen)
Captain Vasilios gets two: World (5 for Fighting) and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan) (feels kinda weird to give her that given as she's very much neither, but I really like the poetic aspects of the lyrics)
D'Hrava and T'Pril together: Isn’t It Love? (from the Steven Universe movie), We are in Love (Shannon Hurley), and The Warrior (Patty Smyth)
Kirev and the Denobulan Bartender lady get Brandy (Looking Glass) because that was kind of their inspiration a little bit tbh XD (theirs is definitely healthier given communication and species cultures, but still worth a mention XD)
Aerelai gives me such strong Sam Smith song vibes in general, I think most especially I'm Not Here to Make Friends and Diamonds, and I'd also have to say Escapism (Raye)
R'aahs gets two: Run Boy, Run (Woodkid) and Runaway (AURORA)
Bloodline by Jellyroll fits for R'aahs and Wilvous both honestly
Vorta OC: My Back Pages
and for V'eiss and the Bad Luck Vulcan: Silly Love Songs (Paul McCartney) You Are the Best Thing (Ray LaMontagne)
Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?
Omg Aerelai would absolutely love musicals (and sometimes make it everyone's problem that they do). I could see them really liking the energy and outfits of Chicago! I've got to think doctor D'Hrava would like some too, maybe Les Misérables for its discussions of honor, bravery, tragedy, and rebellion.
Wilvous likes the stage production and how the music can convey narrative, but I don't know that he'd have one true favorite. He'd probably like debating the meaning of certain musical scores and costume/set choices and their impact on the piece as well.
The Bad Luck Vulcan finds Little Shop of Horrors more fascinating than he'd maybe care to admit outright.
Lukoroh would like them too for reasons I'll talk about in just a minute.
Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?
Yes I think they do! It's time for SPECULATIVE WORLDBUILDING! (aka shit I just made up!)
The Calico Pilot maybe has a soft spot for call and response type songs because it's something he would do with her siblings growing up when they were out walking or when they were doing chores/helping in the shop.
The Lion Therapist would like deeper Didgeridoo type instrument
Lukoroh: Ok so I think he'd like stuff like musicals, ballads, operas, anything that tells a story! He'd have to relisten sooooo many times just to get a little of the narrative, but I don't think that bothers him, it's sort of how he feels about art!
V'eiss: I think he'd like more traditional Vulcan lyre music, it's something his adoptive father played a lot, and his grandmother would sometimes too. I don't think of him as ever really having learnt but a handful of melodies he could play sort of ok-ish himself, but he deeply respects the art form as a whole and thinks it's very beautiful.

I have an idea for what I want to try drawing next in the big sketchbook (no spoilers in case it doesn't end up turning out), but for after that, what should I draw next?
CHOOSE:
Finish the janky sketch of R'aahs in the spiral sketchbook
Index card drawing of Padaka (the Calico Caitian Pilot)
Big sketchbook drawing of Wilvous
Big sketchbook drawing of Aerelai
Big sketchbook drawing of Bhea and Muna together
''you should draw my oc instead'' (fine but give me pics/good description)
[two of my ocs scenario idea] (submit your idea in comments/rb, no promises)
Stop being a coward and draw Vasilios' index card pic
Voting ended onMay 4
(I draw people I haven't drawn before on index cards first so people can sit next to each other bc obviously I don't have any little Playmates style action figures of any of these guys (gn) </3) I'm perfectly willing to draw y'alls Ocs out of love/for practice but the quality is ✨debatable✨.
(also I'm fr so so scared to try and draw captain Vasilios, I can picture her, but I'm worried I can't do her proper justice at my skill level :/ )
I think Nausicaans tend to have a kind of (borderline literal) pecking order within their social structures (pain an injury are games to them, and, I would think, points of communication as well depending upon what degree is permissible to inflict and/or return) and while ofc the exact dynamic would never be permissible aboard a Starfleet vessel I do think R'aahs probably has a rough structure of one that fits within a species cultural variance permissable overlap aboard an already atypical vessel:
Head tier is Captain Céline Vasilios; Full superior no question. She defeated him in combat upon their meeting but chose to spare him and incorporate him into her crew. She is in full command and anything less than full cooperation from him would be a disgusting offence. Too high above for any form of playful behavior.
Second tier is interesting in that they're all roughly of equal authority to his mind within a social hierarchy (though he does recognize the difference within the technical structure of command).
Kirev, moreso from a standpoint of getting to act/speak on behalf of the captain, though he does have some degree of unexpected physical strength due to Aenar physiology. Might give him a tap with his cane, but R'aahs recognizes this is a deliberate act of congeniality towards him. He may be more actively friendly towards him than he may be to the captain, but recognizes him as too far of a superior to be fully friendly towards
Toka: Considers him his most direct superior within his immediate day to day interaction. Toka is fairly willing to use a bit of physical directive with R'aahs given their notable difference of size, and not always with as friendly of an intention as R'aahs takes it, but it does actually ultimately serve fairly well to denote an authority while maintaining a decent sense of camaraderie to him (which eventually evolves into a more genuine one on Toka's part as well)
Doctor D'Hrava: superior, stronger, but enjoys a bit of playful roughhouse in casual social settings. She won't hesitate to put him back in his place if he gets too rough, but they can have a bit of a back and forth dynamic with it.
Third tier is kind of separate, with those who aren't quite as high ranking technically, but he isn't about to fuck around with them. He likes when he can be friendly with them, but that's fully at their discretion.
T'pril: (and Tbf he takes that kind of approach towards most Vulcans unless he knows them really well because their limits are harder to read). She doesn't really interact with him much beyond directives and brief interactions in the mess hall, where he is polite and subdued.
Aerelai: A bit different in that they're friends, but he'll give them a wide birth when they're angry or the minute he gets the idea he's crossed a line with them. They don't ever really physically strike but they will let forth a small neural pulse when those things happen and it's a much scarier little "back the fuck off".
Fourth tier is about level with him though it can vary just a little situationally. Friendliest tier overall:
Muna. She knew about Nausicaans when she met him and ran over his foot with her powerchair, then later shared some of her lunch with him (another indicator, in that resources are shared with those below you, taken by above). She'll give him a friendly swat sometimes that he can return lightly.
Wilvous. (seemingly) stayed stoic and (accidentally) cut his face pretty badly with one of his tusks the first time he met him.
Himself! :)
Bhea. His best friend right after Muna! She's pretty sturdy, They get into a lot of hijinks together and playfight. He's ultimately stronger than her but she'll put up a really good fight and recognizes that he's being friendly doing it! Sometimes they share the braincell.
Fifth tier is specifically under him, can push them around a little bit and they can't take his stuff (they very much don't try, but regardless they can't), but it also means they're deliberately under his scope of protection barring Weird Shit Happening or something.
[Arachnid Xenoanthropologist] (she actually could be a lot more dangerous if she chose to be, but use of venom is highly taboo and is only to be done in outright peril, so she's fine letting him see her as this level). He doesn't have much cause to interact with her, but letting her remain largely unchallenged while still on a protective tier is an attempt of a sort to respect her privacy while still seeing through his worldview filter.
[Bajoran/Cardassian engineer]. He likes them, thinks they're very smart and (with him) scrappy. They sometimes try and rise up a teir when they'll play around with him, but largely he just views it as cute that they try and stays protective of them
Ceicive. He threw Ceicive across sickbay the first time he met him. In all fairness he was having a really bad time medically and thanked the sickbay team afterwards. He and Ceicive are friends now; he was mildly concussed, but not really angry about it. He thinks of Ceicive as extremely sweet, patient, and fragile tbh.
Ryn. Withdrawn, skittish, still getting used to the new adaptive equipment, prone to a freeze response and only ever actually tries to fight back when he's extremely stressed and it's clear even to R'aahs that if it gets to that point it is way too far. Tries to help him feel safer but isn't always very good at it. (Has "guarded" him during panic attacks before though and that actually was helpful <3)
[I'll probably edit and add new people to the list as I come up with them, but this is as current a version as I have of the crew!]
Is there one particular food that your OC absolutely loathes and would never eat, unless all other options were unavailable?
R'aahs
Does your OC prefer the sensation of cooling down in hot weather (perhaps with a cool breeze and icy drink), or the sensation of warming up in cold weather (perhaps wrapped in a cosy blanket with a hot beverage)?
And for off menu- im super curious about Aerelai and their spirituality. I may have asked before but what exactly is their spiritual beliefs? How do they practice their religion on the ship?
Another round!!! 🫖 ☕
Toka: Is there one particular food that your OC absolutely loathes and would never eat, unless all other options were unavailable?:
Gummi worms XD (honestly he probably wouldn't terribly dislike ones that were made with fruit juice and less sugar, but he hates them on principle at this point since the first time he wasn't expecting them to be sweet)
Plus while it's not quite to the same level, I think he doesn't really like the bug snacks that are flavored like bacon, but mostly just because he can't digest the pork well (since Rom makes a comment in one episode that bacon didn't agree with him)
(which really is a shame bc they're kinda good!)
R'aahs: Does your OC prefer the sensation of cooling down in hot weather (perhaps with a cool breeze and icy drink), or the sensation of warming up in cold weather (perhaps wrapped in a cosy blanket with a hot beverage)?
So I don't think the actual temperature of it matters quite as much to him as much as there having to be airflow of some kind for him to be comfortable (bc Nausicaan biology), but I guess I'd say he has a bit of a preference for cooling off! He's got pretty thick dermal layers so he doesn't need much help staying warm most of the time, so cooler airflow typically feels a bit nicer to him in most environments (but if he does get really cold it can take him a long while to warm back up)
(interestingly he actually dislikes eating and drinking cold things, because Nausicaans evolved to be able to drink from hot springs most reliably, so it's actually pretty hard for him to swallow things below a certain temperature and it can even cause temporary spasming of the muscles in his throat)
And for off menu- im super curious about Aerelai and their spirituality. I may have asked before but what exactly is their spiritual beliefs? How do they practice their religion on the ship?:
So I mentioned it a looong while back, but they worship the four deities of Betazed (moon/tide/ocean/mind) goddesses, with their quarters having four little shrines where they make small offers of salt, scented oil, [something very akin to] honey, and small stones to each dish of water as appropriate and they track the phases of the moons back on Betazed to make sure the stones offered are the correct shape to align.
The salt is usually collected from seawater or from scraping off one's skin (Betazoids' bodies can filter out excess salt through their sweat more effectively due to their planet's ecology), and the stones are typically collected from beaches and discarded back into the ocean after an offering once the water has evaporated from the shrine.
The scented oils and honey-esque substance can just be made/harvested/replicated, but the oil used in offerings is traditionally the same blend used in bathing by the person making the offerings. (technically this is more of a practicality in that it's what someone would have in the home, but there is an aspect of it being sort of linked to the self, kind of like how the salt is often of the body)
Aerelai probably tries to collect some stones when they go planetside, but does sometimes end up having to just replicate them.
Within their belief The Four Goddesses helped to shape Betazed and its people together and guided their creations from the sea to the land, and now more indirectly help to lead them through the stars.
Through the shrines offerings of thanks are made, guidances requested, and thoughts, hopes, fears, & concerns voiced. Candles are lit and extinguished at the rituals beginning to symbolize the night, as that is when the Goddesses symbols (the moons) can best be seen.
If possible the little shrines are usually kept near a point of moving water like a river or out on a balcony if one lives near the sea, but Aerelai probably has more of a small tabletop fountain type deal bc starship kinda like this

I have zeroed in on my newest beloveds again (I think these are new for both of them if not you can skip it) Aerelai and Kirev!!
🩸 (blood) - Is your oc squeamish? Are they disturbed by the sight of blood? Have they ever been in a situation where they had to overcome being squeamish? (I know Kirev is blind but like how does other people getting hurt affect him as a telapath)
❗️(exclamation point) - What was the scariest moment of your character’s life? Does it still affect them?
✂️ (scissors) - Has your character ever cut their own hair? What about someone else’s? How did it turn out?
Loooooool of course you love the telepaths given Spark🧡 (not that I can talk, I love Andorians so I adore Liz💙) XD
edit: this is getting looooong so I'm putting a read more lmao:
So:
🩸 (blood) - Is your oc squeamish? Are they disturbed by the sight of blood? Have they ever been in a situation where they had to overcome being squeamish? (I know Kirev is blind but like how does other people getting hurt affect him as a telapath):
Aerelai:
Yeeaaaahhh they kinda very are XD. It's not really the blood though because they don't mind it so much depicted in art and they can watch Klingon festivals with very little problem because it's in a very different context (glory, rage, respect etc.), but rather it's the pain that gets to them and can become overwhelming for them quickly (and a visual reminder like blood doesn't help).
It's honestly sort of different when its another Betazoid versus someone from another species since with another Betazoid there's a sort of relay between both parties to receive and balance the input, another species tends to just sort of send (even another telepath unless they make a very distinctive effort) and Aerelai is stuck receiving it. They might feel a sort of phantom version of it or just get a sort of unrelenting headache from it, but yeah they're not really a medical person (its one of the reasons Starfleet academy took them longer than it might have).
Kirev:
No, not really so much. The Aenar don't have the same kind of confrontational mindset or ritual combats Andorians do but they still live in the harsh climates and historically at least have probably had to defend themselves from dangerous creatures, so they share a strong sense of practicality with them.
Kirev would be able to deal calmly with someone getting hurt (honestly he'd most likely be trying to calm the other person down so he can help them). Aenar are very considerate about the usage of their telepathy so as to respect other's privacy (it's not as passive like a Betazoid's telepathy, it's very intentional and they train from a young age to control it well).
He would get stressed if it was someone he cared about very deeply or someone very young who was hurt, but that would still manifest more as practically dealing with it in the moment and maybe some emotional overwhelm/exhaustion later. If a telepath was very powerful and very distressed they might could project that pain onto him, but that's not really the same as being squeamish that'd be more overwhelm.
❗️(exclamation point) - What was the scariest moment of your character’s life? Does it still affect them?
Aerelai:
Ok so I mentioned they were on Betazed when it got invaded during the Dominion War, but I think that one of the more frightening parts actually came for them less from the invasion itself (though that was frightening to imagine), but how when it reached them specifically where they were it was by the time Betazoids had begun to fight back when forces struck.
They'd been reading in the garden when the Jem'Hadar had appeared looming, their Vorta overseer serenely nestled between a cluster of them for protection. That was the first terror, the despair, the desperation, the smothered anxious starvation for approval from the Vorta. They'd read the reports from other planets, they'd read historical texts, rad about Bajor, this was to be their own fate surely.
Seeing their grandmother emerge from her sombular pool, a raw power of rage and protection the likes of which they'd never known before, a psychic energy, drowning every feeling other than the knowledge of her fury and love.
And then it was over like the crash of a wave. "Go and get your mother, child; Tonight we feed the sea."
The Vorta was alive to twitch. They kept him in the cellar to await someone strong or gentle enough to bring him home. A dignitary or at least someone who claimed to be got him after the peace resumed. Great Grandmother fed him, she was the only one strong enough. Aerelai tried several times but could never make it down the steps through that mental screaming. There was no blame, he could have his supper tomorrow when she returned, that was all there was to it. Their heart was as full as four moons for even trying.
There were a few more tries. Those didn't leave anyone. They called Betazed occupied because they took out most of the transports, set up a few factions. They learned not to leave their compounds, slunk away home before it was all over.
The anguish and fear was as thick as fog and inescapable and doubtless left deep staining scars on their mind that they tried to leave behind joining Starfleet. But there's a terror too in them of that which they carry within.
Kirev:
Ok I think he's had some pretty brutal moments in life, but I think one where he was legitimately more viscerally scared than any other mix of emotions (like when his former partners ran him out) or a situation where it was frightening but he had to actively stay calm to prevent calamity (like very tense negotiations to keep the crew safe) was the circumstances that lead to him getting actually diagnosed with the Alvanian spine mites.
He and the (future, at that time) Captain were both in Starfleet Academy and he contracted them during one of their training missions but didn't realize until about a week later, dismissing the pain as a result of intensive exertion in a much warmer climate (and he was embarrassed to admit to so much discomfort when no-one else having any issues). It obviously got worse not better, and one morning he woke up literally unable to get up from his bed.
He woke up before his roommates ( [Captain] and two other people), like normal, but spent a few hours trying to slowly sit up, determined to manage despite the discomfort. [Captain] woke up when the muscle spasming started and he couldn't stay quiet any longer.
Being that helpless was absolutely terrifying and would have been deeply shameful if he could think past how much it hurt; The few minutes it took for one of the academy's infirmary staff to get to their unit felt like hours, clinging to [Captain] as she tried to comfort him and just trying to keep breathing. At that point of progression it was probably "only" a panic attack made worse by the cramping, but with everything locking up it was a fairly reasonable concern.
The Aenar don't really fear death since they believe it only happens once someone has fulfilled their life's purpose, but that did not much assure him in the moment, wondering what in the world it might have been.
He finds it more embarrassing than anything in hindsight given what it ended up being and that it's manageable for the most part, but it was desperately frightening in the moment.
✂️ (scissors) - Has your character ever cut their own hair? What about someone else’s? How did it turn out?
Aerelai:
Omg yes, yes they do. They love to have some fun with their hair (it's easily removed and regrown if they want with some casual tech). Sometimes they do a masterful job, sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's bad on purpose, it's just fun for them!
They've probably cut at least one other person's before, maybe a friend at the academy or for someone about to go on shore leave wanting to have a bit of fun, but they mostly just like to play with their own (though now I kind of want to see them style Ceicive's for some reason since they'd know its important to him though idk why they would be in that situation).
Kirev:
Ok I need to stop and say that this idea isn't 100% my own, another Tumblr user who I cannot seem to find now came up with the theory that the Aenar only really cut their hair when they leave home, which I kinda like.
I think they must maybe cut it at certain lengths for sheer practicality of certain life stuff, but within that they may have customs regarding what certain choices and stylings mean, especially since it's something only they or someone who would have cause to feel their hair would know.
I think Kirev has cut it himself twice, once before leaving for Starfleet Academy (it looked bad, but done with jubilance, tied into a braid and cut off with the knife he'd received in his childhood as part of a coming of age rite, buried with a bit of his blood so part of him would never leave Andoria.) The second time he did it before his former partners had the chance to do it to him; To how them he would go of his own volition in an act of both supplication and defiance.
I think the cut he keeps it at now is long-ish, like sort of shaggy but short enough to be practical as sort of an indicator that where he is isn't home, but it is where he's planning to stay for a fairly long time.
Figured I'd compile all the queer identities of my Star Trek Ocs so far! <3
Captain Céline [Lastname] is Aroace
Kirev is Demisexual & demiromantic and experiences attraction to multiple genders (typical to Andorians/Aenar)
Doctor D'Hrava is a Lesbian
T'Pril is a Lesbian (and by human standards would be considered Demisexual, though that's pretty much just a typical Vulcan experience)
Aerelai is Genderfluid and uses they/them pronouns most consistently. I haven't decided if they're bisexual or pansexual yet, but they're likely one of those.
Muna is bisexual
Wilvous is bisexual
Ceicive is gay, greysexual, and kind of agender (he prefers he/him pronouns out of familiarity, and just really doesn't feel much in the way of gender positively or negatively)
R'aahs (a Nausicaan who I have only mentioned briefly but intend to expand upon) is bisexual
[Bolian nurse] (yet to be named, still in development) is a Lesbian (and may end up being in a relationship with Aerelai, but I haven't decided yet)
Amae'll (Ceicive's sister) is a polyamorous lesbian
J'Hren (Ceicive's father) is bisexual. I haven't decided if he's still going to get a partner like I had thought about, but he is still bisexual regardless so gets to be on this list.
[The Denobulan bartender] (still to be named) who becomes Kirev's partner is pansexual and Polyamarous (though this aspect is standard to Denobulan culture) and uses she/they pronouns
Alright i had a fun time with the 1 question for multiple people so
🧣(scarf) - What comforts your oc? Is it an item? An action? A person? Whatever it is, how any why does it comfort them?
For Ceicive, Wilvous, Kirev and our Betazoid buddy!
Oooh, you know my trope wheelhouse well! (I love a good hurt/comfort!) 👀
🧣(scarf) - What comforts your oc? Is it an item? An action? A person? Whatever it is, how any why does it comfort them?
Ceicive:
So I think one of the most distressing things possible for Ceicive is to be in a state where he's falling asleep and waking back up again (it happens sometimes when he has an issue with his implants or gets intoxicated). When that happens Doctor D'Hrava and Wilvous do their best to reground him reality while he's conscious (because he'll get confused and sometimes gets combative, having flashbacks to his time in the Collective).
One of the things that's weirdly effective in getting him calmer is wrapping him in a heater blanket because his Cardassian biology responds to it positively as a point of safety and it makes him more alert.
Wilvous:
Wilvous probably actually started doing art as a means of trying to vent some of the emotions he was never really able to express growing up, and while he moreso does it now just because he enjoys it he'll still do it sometimes if he's been going through a particularly rough time.
He tends to spiral mentally sometimes and it makes him withdraw even more socially, which sets him into a vicious cycle of complicated feelings and underexpressing them.
When he gets really locked into these Ceicive will try and disrupt them a bit by trying to cook for him and for the most part he's bad at it, but it gives Wilvous a very tame way to initiate conversational complaint and sometimes that can be enough to let him get to a point where he can actually address or at least talk about the real issues that are bothering him. (and worst-case scenario Ceicive has made a mildly edible treat for him, which is quite a rarity.)
Kirev:
Ok so a while back I actually wrote a little speculative biology post where Andorians/Aenar have evolved a reflexive reaction to cling onto stuff when they're in pain and I think that comes into play when his pain gets intense in the interim of time just before he gets his next dosage of treatment for the condition that causes him to have chronic pain.
He's adapted to it pretty well by now so he can usually ride it out without most anyone noticing (Andorians and Aenar are both stubbornly proud bastards in their own ways), but the one person he'd ever show any vulnerability to remotely willingly is the Captain (yet to be named) and even then it's more that she'll call him out on it and he'll partially admit to it.
I think Andorians and Aenar even moreso being congenitally blind are pretty tactile when it comes to comforting/reassuring gestures and since his pain is pretty well managed for the most part he'll maybe take her arm if she offers it (especially if they're walking somewhere since it makes it more difficult) or firmly grip the handle of his cane if she's not there or there are other people around. Doing either orients him in his surroundings, provides physical support, and lets him be a little bit less anxious from the distress it puts him in.
(when they were still in the academy and he'd only recently been infected and was still learning how to manage and time the treatments she was ((literally)) way more supportive, a few times even having to basically hold him upright the entire way to the infirmary because he'd gone to walk there and couldn't keep going. It was humiliating, but she never made him feel bad for it except for making him type out a report that was due the next day for her when he accidentally dislocated her shoulder clinging so tightly, which they agreed was more than fair. And for the most part she dictated it.)
Betazoid buddy:
So 1 fun fact, I'm thinking of calling them Aerelai (not sure yet though. Thoughts?)
2. a lot of the time what they actually need to feel better when they're upset or not feeling well is honestly just some space.
Like they're very loud and social and dramatic a lot of the time, but when it comes to Real Shit they need for people to leave them the hell alone and let them just process/vibe in solitude without bringing in their own, even extremely well intentioned, emotions.
If they're feeling really high energy in their bad time they might put on music, but that's basically the extent of anyone else's energy they can deal with.
It's different than just "oh, I'm upset and I want to vent about it" kind of talks they'd have with Wilvous or "I'm feeling complicated things and I want to talk about it" times where they'd go and talk to Muna; Introversion time is for when they're overwhelmed from people, work, their own anxiety (especially that one, because they also worry about projecting it onto other people since that could be a concern if there were other telepaths around).
