NOTES ON BOLIANS AND BOLIAN CULTURE

BASIC INFORMATION

• Official Name in Standard: The Bolians

• National Name: Bolarus (Bolarus VIII and IX).

• Title of the Head of State: Councilor

• Title of the Head of Government: Councilor

GEOGRAPHY/POPULATION

• Quadrant/Sector/System: Bolian Sector
• Suns/Planets/Planetoids/Moons: No natural satellites.

• Population: 5.7 billion
• Capital City: Lommat (Population 17.25 million)

• Race(s) of Native Sentients: 100% Bolian
• Land/Water Ratio(s) of Planets: 20/80
• Largest City: Hosppat (Population 22.67 million)

ECONOMIC SUMMARY

Bolarus' economy revolves around high-tech industries, most prominently the development of anti-gravitational technology. They are becoming more and more immersed in anything related to ship-building, particularly warp and dimension-warp engineering.

Breakdown of living standards

• Technosocialist age: 87 percent of population
• Information age: 8 percent of population
• Industrial age: 0 percent of population
• Agrarian age: 5 percent of population

Bolarus is very much a modern world, as evidenced by the shear breakdown of its population. Only 5 percent of its economy is geared towards agribusiness- but that's all they need. Their technological level is sophisticated enough so that 5% more than fills the world's food needs. Of course, replication technology augments what is naturally grown. Animals on Bolarus are not bred and/or killed for food sources.

Atmosphere of the planet is Class M. Belarus' major imports consist largely of luxury items- exotic goods that cannot be produced on Bolarus proper. Most exports revolve around its high-tech manufacturing goods.

GOVERNMENT/HISTORY

• Member of Federation? Yes, since 2320.
• Planetary government since 2289.
• Federation Protectorate from 2289-2320.

Bolians did not develop a planetary government until relatively late in comparison to other cultures; they saw no reason to do so earlier. There had not been a meaningful war fought on Bolian soil in hundreds of years, with all difficulties being sorted out at the appropriate governmental levels. This does not mean that passions amongst Bolians do not get heated; it simply means that patience won out in the end of every crisis.

It was only their discovery of the Federation that caused them to form a planetary government in the first place. The Federation, representing a conglomerate who, at least on paper, espouse similar beliefs, appealed to them- they wanted to become a part of something bigger than even themselves. As soon as their government was in place in 2289, they applied for Federation membership. However, the Federation wished to see the government in operation first.

The basis of the Bolian government is the Central Council. This body, made up of representatives from each town (which means that every family is represented, since each family IS its own township). Representatives are not "officially" elected, but are chosen by each family form amongst their adult members. The town/family's representative can be changed at any time. All decisions are made by the Council as a whole, with a simple majority needed for most decisions. A Councilor is appointed by the Council to act as its spokesperson in all foreign matters, but there is no term set or anything- the Councilor serves for as long as the Council sees fit.

This method of governing has served the Bolian people well; despite the potential for decisions being tied up in debate and argument, Bolians are adept at "group work" by nature- they are at their peek efficiency under such circumstances, and suffer no negative consequences for their choice of government.

RACE/SOCIETY/CULTURE

Bolarus IX is a large planet that is roughly like Earth- Class M, mostly wet (in fact a bit more so than Earth) with three large continents making up its land masses, and possessing gravity almost identical to Earth's.

Bolians have a general hominid appearance- bipedal and upright, head on top of torso. However, there are several cosmetic differences that make Bolians quite distinctive from other races. Most notably, their skin tone is blue, usually of a pale blue hue. This is due to both skin pigmentation and blood color; Bolian blood is blue. Also, Bolian have a bifurcated head and face, which divides it neatly in half. Typically, Bolian eyes are gold, but a recessive gene in their chromosomes will give the rare Bolian orange eyes.

Another trait characteristic of Bolians is their baldness. However, this is not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but rather a ritual in which most members of society, including a large proportion of the female population, indulge. According to Bolian beliefs, baldness is associated with physical prowess and dedication, two things Bolians typically take very seriously. A Bolian who chooses not to shave will likely have hair color ranging from light brown to platinum. Dark hair on a full Bolian is unheard of. The bifurcated ridge in the Bolian head has created a deeply divided brain- even more so than the Terran brain- which has the effect of making them resistant to hypnotic suggestion. It also tends to make more pronounced distinctions between "left" brain and "right" brain functions, which results often in very few multi-faceted Bolians in terms of skill variety- they tend to be very good at disciplines of a similar nature, and do not stray much from this.

The solar year is approximately 585 days long. Average temperature is 22 C on most parts of the planet and 36 C at the equator.

Bolian society revolves around the idea of the group. Families do not typically have a single spokesperson or decision-maker; all decisions are made by agreement between all adults in the family- once a child reaches adult age, he or she has an equal voice in familial proceedings. The typical Bolian family is extended rather than nuclear; not only do cousins, aunts and uncles live in close proximity to one another (not always under one roof, but at least neighboring one another), but the family expands with every marriage to include parents-in-law and their families. Some Bolian families have hundreds of people living in the same geographic area. This phenomena has given birth to the "megalopolis" on Bolarus IX, with cities typically 2-3 times larger than average Terran cities. Each family is essentially its own township, set up within city boundaries.

Child care is a burden accepted by all members of a family, not just the parents. The concept of the "village" raising the child is not a political platform to Bolians- it is common practice. All members of the family pitch in the education and rearing of the child, helping to instill Bolian beliefs and principals by example as well as word of mouth. This group concept is the underlying fabric of Bolian society. As a result, they tend to be extremely social creatures, preferring the company of large numbers as opposed to smaller; indeed, the cliché "The more the merrier" may have first been uttered by a Bolian. They excel when working in groups as opposed to alone, able to capitalize on the strengths of one another; they socialize in groups, usually preferring a large party to a smaller, more intimate gathering.

The group concept has fostered a trait that is unusual in most star faring races- there is no xenophobia amongst Bolians. Bolians learned early on that one of the strengths of the group idea was diversity in experiences and beliefs- if one was going to fully reap the rewards of the group concept, then one would have to forget any prejudice towards anyone "different." As such, xenophobia has not existed (except for in the select few) for thousands of years. They tend to view differences as strengths that can only broaden one's experience rather than a racially-inbred weakness.

The large group philosophy has also fostered an extreme desire to succeed in most Bolians. Success of the group is all that matters, and no Bolian wants to be thought of by his or her peers as someone who was not giving his or her very best effort. Personal success enhances group success, so the belief goes. As a result, Bolians are the consummate "team players."

Like most things in Bolian life, health care is socialized; the government covering all long-term expenditures. This practice stems from the government stance that it is simply looking out for the interests of a very large group- ALL Bolians. However, there is no assisted living in Bolian society- elder Bolians, if incapable of caring for themselves, are cared for by their families, with any assistance necessary provided by the government. However, Bolians are generally a people in excellent health; since most of their food products are genetically engineered or replicated, they are created to be exactly what Bolians need in terms of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, etc.

However, should a Bolian be terminally and painfully ill or with less than his or her complete faculties, they engage in the practice of euthanasia. This practice has caused some tensions to arise between Bolians and other cultures, but they view this as the final service one can perform for a respected member of the group. They don't see suffering as dignified or proper- they see it as an unnecessary burden to be lifted, and will do so almost without question or fail. It is considered one of their most sacred beliefs, and is one is honored by his participation in this elaborate ritual. On another level, they also argue that it is counterproductive to the group, but this argument only serves to enflame others. Though certainly a secondary motivation, it IS still a motive.

Created for/First Use (if known): "Conspiracy" was the first Next Generation episode in which Bolians were seen. Much of the basic character traits were taken from those episodes and subsequent episodes themselves. The elaboration on these, however, is my own conjecture.

Bolians have been seen in The Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager.

NOTES ON BOLIAN LANGUAGE

Not much is known about Bolian language. However, there are some structural peculiarities that bear mentioning.

NAMES

Traditional Bolian family names end in a double hard consonant, and are almost exclusively single-syllable names:

• Domm
• Finn
• Warr
• Mott
• Ludd
• Pell
• Grexx
• Trobb
• Hegg
• Hett
• Garnn
• Juff

The origin of Bolian family names bears close resemblance to some Terran customs. In Terran history, many surnames were created in order to show a relation to one's job. For instance, in ancient Terran England, one might have met a "John Smith," whose surname "Smith" indicated his trade- that of a smith. Often, this name stayed with a family through generations because all male members of the family line were trained in the same trade. Over time, however, the connection with the job faded, and surnames were passed down with the family instead of the trade.

Bolian tradition is remarkably similar in this manner. Many traditional Bolian names were taken from the job or trade of the person, with those names becoming associated less with the trade and more with the family over time until the connection to the trade faded completely.

SUFFIXES

Bolian language uses a lot of suffixes to denote all sorts of things, often differentiating between the size or number of the root it modifies.

For instance, some Bolian surnames have a "u" that follows the double hard consonant the typically ends Bolian surnames- people with this suffix are twins. Accordingly, surnames that end with an "o" signify triplets, and names that end in "a" signifies that the person is part of a set of quadruplets or larger. Of course, given the Bolian proclivity for groups, such people are generally held in high regard.

• Domm (surname) + o (triplet suffix) = Dommo (surname for a set of triplets)
• Hocc (surname) + u (twin suffix) = Hoccu (surname for a set of twins)

Also, Bolian location names have suffixes attached to them which denote the size of the town:

• Large Megalopolis -at
• Regular City -ar
• Medium Town -ab
• Small Village -al
• Rural -or

Region names, like surnames, are typically single-syllable, and end in a double hard consonant. Most regions were likely named after famous or founding bolians- thus the similarity in construction to Bolian surnames.

• Hospp (region/location) + at (suffix) = Hosppat (largest megalopolis)
• Promm (region/location) + or (rural suffix)= Prommor (farming community)

There are other suffixes used in Bolian language, such as those added on to nouns/pronouns to denote singular and plural (again dealing with quantity). However, conspicuously enough, there are comparatively few prefixes.

BOLIAN NPC Sketches

LT Delbrak Dommo

• (played by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Delbrak Dommo 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 28 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Strategic Operations Officer, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 6'0" 
WEIGHT: 192 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Gold 
II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Delbrak is one of the Dommo identical triplets.  His skin tone is 
slightly darker than that of the typical Bolian, a trait that he 
shares with his brothers.  The one definable physical difference 
between Dremak and his brothers is that Delbrak possesses a cleft 
chin; the other two do not.  Otherwise, his basic build- height, 
weight, bearing, etc.- is so close to that of his brothers that it 
impossible to distinguish them without from one another without a 
tricorder.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Of course, Delbrak does not behave entirely like his brothers.  If 
such a thing could be said about Bolians, Delbrak is the more 
authoritative of the three (probably the reason he is a department 
head over the other two); however, he still resists the urge to 
indulge this authoritative side unless it is necessary from a chain 
of command standpoint.  In practice, he treats every exercise and 
assignment like a giant group project. While somewhat less formal, 
he DOES get results- and excellent ones at that.

This is Delbrak's 2nd assignment as a department head.  However, 
one notable piece of information is that he has never served anywhere 
without his brothers; in fact, they have always been assigned to the 
same department.  His last billet- TAC on the CEASAR AUGUSTUS-CA USS 
LEE, was the first time he had been placed in a position of direct 
authority over his brothers.

Most of the time, he chose to ignore that fact.

LTJG Delvok Dommo

• (played by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Delvok Dommo 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 28 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Ship's Services Officer- Operations, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 5'11.5" 
WEIGHT: 196 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Orange 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Delvok, another of the Dommo triplets, has skin tone that is 
slightly darker than that of the typical Bolian, a trait that 
he shares with his brothers.  The one definable physical 
difference between Delvok and his brothers is that Delvok 
possesses orange eyes; the other two do not.  Otherwise, his 
basic build- height, weight, bearing, etc.- is so close to that 
of his brothers that it impossible to distinguish them without 
from one another without a tricorder.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Delvok can be characterized as the "fun-lover" of the bunch- 
this is saying something given the normally extroverted behavior 
of the typical Bolian.  Delvok is usually the first one to begin 
talking to someone new, or set up the poker game, or arrange an 
impromptu party.  He is also the one in charge of the ship's 
"single's scene."   However, he does not participate himself-in 
true Bolian fashion, dating is done in groups, the larger the 
better.   Since most species consider this level of intimacy 
private, Delvok does not seek to date openly.

As a rule, he follows the chain of command except when behind 
closed doors or when at work with his brothers.

LTJG Delnax Dommo

• (played by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Delnax Dommo 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 28 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Cryptanalysis Officer- Operations, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 6'0" 
WEIGHT: 186 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Gold 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Delnax is the third of the Dommo triplets.  He is almost 
indistinguishable from the others (aside from small differences 
in height and weight) aside from a small, deep blue birthmark 
just over his right eyebrow.  This birthmark is the source of a 
running joke between the Dommo brothers; during a boarding 
operation while serving on USS LEE, his brother Delvok claimed 
that the mark appeared to be almost a spot-on replica of the 
very Romulan scout ship they were boarding.  His last job on 
INDEFATIGABLE has only added more fuel to this fire.

None of his brothers have this birthmark, though Delvin claims 
each of them has one as well- one of a Klingon bird-of-prey 
(Delbrak, on his leg) and a Borg cube (Delvok, on his chest).


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Delnax has the most keen mind of the three Dommo brothers; he 
excels at all things mathematical- thus his posting as OPS' 
Cryptanalyst.  He is a natural code-breaker, able to see patterns 
that most people- and some computers- overlook.  When he doesn't 
see a pattern, he applies good old-fashioned Bolian work ethic 
to the problem, and usually wins out as a result.

LTJG Taneko Uzor

• (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Taneko Uzor 
RACE: Bolian/Andorian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 33 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: STRIKE Officer, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 5'9" 
WEIGHT: 163 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Deep Blue 
EYES: Ice Blue 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Taneko Uzor is the product of an unusual union between his 
mother, an Andorian, and his father, a Bolian.  This has 
influenced his physical appearance some- he is shorter and 
stockier than typical Bolians, and his skin tone is darker than 
even the darkest of Bolians, making him more like Andorians 
than Bolians.  However, having been raised on Bolarus IX, he 
abides by all Bolian customs- including the ritual shaving of 
all body hair, which would be typical Andorian white would he 
allow it to grow.  His eye color is also typically Andorian.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Uzor owes much of his behavior to his Andorian side as well.  
He is more aggressive and individualistic than typical Bolians- 
his abilities in hand-to-hand combat are formidable.  He is also 
in possession of a "short fuse"- though most humans and Andorians 
would still call Taneko a "patient" person, he is positively 
short-tempered when compared against Bolians.

This being said, a lifetime of growing up immersed in Bolian 
culture has had its affect.  He is considerably more chipper and 
social in demeanor than most Andorians, and feels quite comfortable 
working in larger groups.  He also maintains a pronounced desire to 
please others...though not at the complete expense of himself.


IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
==============================

Taneko's last name, "Uzor," is not a typical Bolian name; it is 
Andorian.  Seeing as how his mother is Andorian by birth, he took 
his mother's name; with no xenophobia present on Bolarus, this was 
never an issue.

PO3 Darzana Jaxx

• (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Darzana Jaxx 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 26 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: F 
POSITION: Quartermaster 3rd Class- Stellar Cartography USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 5'8" 
WEIGHT: 143 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Gold 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Darzana is the wife of Pellor Jaxx, another technician in the 
Stellar Cartography division.  Her appearance is rather typical 
of Bolians- tall, sturdy and bald.  In Bolian society, even the 
women shave their body hair according to ritual; Darzana does 
not ignore this.  Her head, aside from the bifurcated ridge 
present on all Bolians, is smooth.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Darzana is one of those people that function better in a group 
setting than alone; her work in stellar cartography is almost 
always done in the company of her husband.  Essentially, they 
make sure the star maps are updated; every time INDEFATIGABLE 
traverses a region of space, the Jaxxes compare sensor readings 
with current maps and note any differences.  It can be a tedious 
job...but they do it well, so long as they do it together.

Her career has been an ordinary one, handicapped at least in 
part by her inability to work alone efficiently.  However, her 
successes otherwise have compensated for this.

PO2 Pellor Jaxx

• (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Pellor Jaxx 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 27 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Quartermaster 2nd Class- Stellar Cartography, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 6'0" 
WEIGHT: 214 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Orange 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Pellor is somewhat stockier than average, but that is not a 
genetic condition; he simply enjoys his food too much.  He 
also bears orange eyes, the recessive gene for this trait 
coming from his father's side.  Otherwise, he is typically 
Bolian in appearance.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Pellor, like his wife, functions considerably more efficiently 
when working with others; this efficiency increases further 
when his wife is among the group.  However, he is still able to 
work alone when necessary and will not refuse to do so like his 
wife.

CPO Bakal Mott

• (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Bakal Mott 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus VIII) 
AGE: 39 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Chief Warp Technician (WTC), USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 6'6" 
WEIGHT: 212 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Deep Blue 
EYES: Gold 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Bakal Mott is exceptionally tall and thin as compared to 
the average Bolian, and his cheekbones are set somewhat 
higher than typical.  These differences are due to the fact 
that, unlike the rest of the Bolian contingent on INDEFATIGABLE, 
he was born on the Bolian colony on Bolarus VIII, a smaller, 
warmer planet than Bolarus IX.  As a result, its lighter 
gravity produces taller people; it being closer to the sun 
produces a warmer, brighter climate, darkening natives of 
Bolarus VIII more than typical Bolians.

Since Bolians of any sort are not xenophobic by nature, his 
differences from other Bolians have not met with difficulty.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Most inhabitants of Bolarus VIII behave in a similar manner 
to those of Bolarus IX, as they took their culture and 
beliefs with them as they went.  The colonists' experiences 
on Bolarus VIII were not difficult and harsh; they received 
the full support of those on Bolarus IX- emotional and 
political as well as scientific and materiel.  As such, they 
encountered no hardships which would have caused a paradigm 
shift in behavior as a people- they are simply taller and 
darker than their more numerous brethren.

As a result, aside from his somewhat different appearance, 
Mott behaves as a typical Bolian would.

SCPO Melora Garnn

• (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Melora Garnn 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 36 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: F 
POSITION: Senior Chief Yeoman, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 5'5" 
WEIGHT: 128 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Gold 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Melora Garnn is a woman of striking beauty, to Bolians and 
non-Bolians alike.  Her skin is a soft, understated blue, 
and her features match her skin's delicateness.  Her height 
is barely average for a Bolian female.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Garnn fancies herself a "worldly" person, and she very much 
acts and lives the part: she is cultured, widely read in the 
literature several species; she is a connoisseur of wine, 
especially Bolian and Terran vintages.  She is an amateur 
musician as well, making great strides on the horonna, a 
Bolian string instrument similar to the Terran cello.

===MCPO John Smith===
* (created by Scott Lusby co-circe[at]alt-starfleet-rpg.org)
<pre>
===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: John Smith 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 28 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Master Chief of Electronic Warfare, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 6'0" 
WEIGHT: 185 lbs. 
HAIR: Platinum 
SKIN: Pale Blue 
EYES: Gold 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

John Smith is, in many ways, not even close to being a typical 
Bolian; the differences are noticeable from the minute one 
meets him.  Firstly, he has hair- platinum, almost white; he 
refuses to abide by most Bolian rituals.  Secondly, he has had 
surgery to hide the bifurcated ridge from his head and face; 
this surgery has been a success.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

The guiding principal of John's life is one of individuality 
rather than the more communistic belief held by the bulk of 
Bolian society.  John has sought to make himself wholly
separate from the rest of the Bolian community in an effort to 
be a single entity rather than part of a larger group.  As such, 
he keeps to himself (this is why he wasn't among those who 
greeted Voxx in the hangar bay) and prefers to work alone.

Despite this attitude, he HAS maintained some of the genetically-
engendered Bolian traits, such as an irrepressible drive to excel.  
He, however, is generally NOT jovial; one would do better to 
describe him as brooding and cynical.

His career to date has been good, and has even been talked about 
as perhaps being a Warrant Officer candidate.

ENS Hanudaroon Hoccu

• (created by Greg Rickards)

===============================================================
I. PERSONAL STATISTICS
=========================== 
NAME: Hanudaroon Hoccu 
RACE: Bolian (Bolarus IX) 
AGE: 26 Terran Standard Years 
GENDER: M 
POSITION: Ship’s Geologist, USS KUSANAGI 
HEIGHT: 5'10.5" 
WEIGHT: 215 lbs. 
HAIR: None (ritually shorn) 
SKIN: Deep Blue 
EYES: Amber 

II. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
===========================

Hanudaroon is one of the Hoccu identical twins.  (His brother, 
Hanuruk, is not in Starfleet; a childhood disease left Hanuruk 
permanently weakened, and he now assists his parents, aunts, 
uncles and cousins in administering the family’s agribusiness.)  
Hanudaroon is somewhat rotund.  His skin tone is quite dark by 
Bolian standards.  However, his most distinctive physical 
feature is actually his eye color; amber eyes are far less 
common than even orange.  (In terms of rarity, the equivalent 
among humans would be violet eyes.)  Although his looks would 
generally be considered average, his amber eyes have been known 
to drive some young Bolian women wild.


III. CHARACTER BACKGROUND
============================

Hanudaroon comes from an old agrarian family that provides much 
of the naturally-grown food on Bolarus IX’s southern continent.  
A childhood interest in geology and geography ultimately led 
him to Starfleet Academy, and he graduated in 2411. Relatively 
soon after being posted to his first ship, the USS CLARK, that 
vessel was severely damaged; at the beginning on 2412, 
Hanudaroon (along with much of the CLARK’s crew) was transferred 
to a newly-built vessel, the USS INDEFATIGABLE. 

Hanudaroon is particularly sociable, even by Bolian standards.  
This is partly a consequence of a minor Bolian psychological 
disorder called Jekkom Syndrome (anxiety caused by separation 
from siblings), which is treated through medication but cannot 
be cured while he lives apart from his family.  He is enthusiastic, 
eager to please and industrious.  Well aware that his work as Ship’s 
Geologist is rarely of importance during the vessel’s missions, he 
tries to compensate by preparing endless reports, geological 
surveys and planetary profiles, just on the off-chance that they 
will be needed.
