Species | Klingon | |
Date Of Birth(DOB) | October 15, 2370 (Stardate 48392.7), a date marked by a rare autumnal blood moon, believed to herald a warrior’s path. | |

Nick Name | Alley Dog" (earned for her tenacious street fights in station alleys and prominent fangs, now a symbol of respect). |
Physical Appearance

Eye Color | Blood-red, a rare genetic mutation glowing faintly in shadow, a fierce marker of her warrior bloodline. | |
Physical Description | Her most striking feature is her prominent dog-like fangs, sharpened during a grueling Klingon teeth-sharpening ceremony at age 14 to mark her warrior transition, a rare honor despite her family’s exile. Her skin bears an intricate tattoo collection: a black widow spider sprawling across her neck (its legs stretching toward her jaw, inked during a gang rite to symbolize resilience and lethal precision); a roaring targ on her left forearm (earned after a victorious street brawl, representing courage); a bat’leth crossed with a d’k tahg on her right bicep (added post-Marine training, marking her combat prowess); a jagged bloodwine chalice on her chest (honoring fallen kin from her mother’s raid); swirling crimson flames licking along her back (drawn after her prison release, depicting her fiery spirit); a tally mark on her wrist (tracking hitman contracts, a solemn reminder of her past); and a fearsome nightmare tattoo coiled around her left thigh (a snarling, multi-headed beast with glowing eyes, inked after a haunting mortician vision, symbolizing her inner struggles and resilience). Her blood-red eyes pierce through shadows, a genetic marker of her lineage’s warrior ferocity. Battle scars crisscross her arms and torso from prison fights, and her calloused hands, roughened by labor, tell of her endurance. Posture:** Square-shouldered with a proud Klingon stance, though she slouches slightly when shy, a remnant of her guarded upbringing. - **Speech:** A deep, guttural Klingon growl with a raspy edge, softened by an accent from her colony’s dialect; she uses broad, expressive hand gestures when passionate and avoids eye contact when nervous, her fangs occasionally affecting clarity. |

Initially shy, she yearns to forge the crew into a family, her “Alley Dog” nickname reflecting her gritty resilience.

If she fails, she risks losing her clan’s respect and her own sense of purpose, driving her to push harder. |

Personal History | Born on October 15, 2370, into the disgraced House D’ghockaK on Qorvak Station, Ch’atrim’s life shifted with her mother’s death in a violent 2370 clan raid, thrusting her into the care of the Iron Targs gang. The station’s harsh, clang-filled corridors became her proving ground, where she learned to thrive amid scarcity. At 14, she underwent a teeth-sharpening rite, enduring heated tools and chants to claim her warrior status despite her father’s 2368 exile for a dishonored duel. As a gang mortician in her late teens, she honed skills in embalming and body preservation, her hands stained with chemicals, sparking a fascination with death’s rituals. A failed heist at 22 in 2392 led to a year of grueling factory work, mastering metal forging and chemical synthesis. Her turning point came in 2394 when Marine recruiters, impressed by her defense of a weaker gang member during a brawl, offered her a path to redemption, setting her on a warrior’s journey to the stars. | |
