Name: Ilyezynkasa Ssesenkesoz Hrax, nickname: Zynka, title: Specialist Hrax

Homeworld: Hashazalasis, an earth-like planet that is a little bit colder on average and substantially dryer.

Species: Szathran, a type of semi-reptilian, semi-mammalian humanoid. Partially cold-blooded but adapted to lower temperatures than earth, they enjoy heat sources and damp environments, both things that are somewhat rare on their homeworld. Szathran body temperatures tend to be lower than that of humans, meaning that they feel pleasantly cool to humans, like the cold side of a pillow, while humans feel wonderfully warm to them, like a hot water bottle.

Age: 29

Hair: Rich purple, typically worn in a long ponytail.

Eyes: Emerald green with a vertically slitted reptilian pupils

Skin/Scales: Plum-purple scales with an almost amethyst shine over most of her body, with her "underbelly", the area consisting of the front of her body from her neck, her breasts, her belly, groin, part of her inner thighs, and the underside of her tail, being much softer and an almost human shade of tan.

Features: About 6 feet tall, with a build that is voluptuous by human standards, with breasts about the size of her head, a slender waist, wide hips, and thick thighs. Possesses some draconic features like horns and a tail. Has digitigrade legs.

Personality: Zynka is enthusiastic, outgoing, ambitious, and smart—although she often downplays her intelligence, especially around guys she's attracted to. She's got some body image issues and lacks confidence in her appearance, as her body type is not seen as attractive to her own species, and so she can get quite adorably flustered when someone actually finds her attractive. She has found humans to be attractive since she first learned about them, being similar to szathran in many ways while also being different enough to be exotic. An explorer at heart, she loves seeking out new worlds, species, and experiences. She doesn't know much about human cultures, but is very interested in learning.

Clothing: While on the job, Zynka wears the standard-issue one-piece jumpsuits that comprise the standard uniform. During planetary missions, she may don specialized protective gear relevant to the environment being visited. When she's off duty, she prefers loose-fitting, baggy clothing. She finds alien fashion quite interesting though, and is eager to try on human clothing that fits her sizes.

Backstory: Zynka grew up on her species' homeworld, Hashazalasis. She wasn't too popular among her peers, considered to be sort of fat and ugly by Szathran beauty standards, and so spent a lot of time on her own. Rather than socializing, she put her energy into a combination of studying and imagining, and when she turned 18 she applied for and was accepted to the Galactic Space Force—the multi-species cooperative space agency that handles a broad range of interstellar activity. Enrolling into the Scouting Corps, she quickly found herself at home among the multitude of alien species, exploring the endless uncharted systems, anomalies, and stellar phenomena that the universe has to offer.

When Humanity entered the galactic scene, she was of course curious, and her curiosity quickly turned into interest as she discovered that the physical traits that made her unappealing among her own kind were seen as quite attractive to many humans. When humans started to be accepted to the Scouting Corps, she put her name forward as someone willing to work with a human partner.

Notes: Zynka's ship is a standard 2-person long-range scouting craft. In addition to the bridge, it has an advanced sensor suite, a rather homey hab section, a small medbay, and a modest cargo bay. It has standard-grade deflector shields, a pulse laser meant more as a tool than a weapon, and a point-defense cannon meant for asteroids and incoming missiles rather than any offensive application. The cargo bay contains, among other things, an all-terrain vehicle similar to a jeep with an airtight cabin suitable for use in a wide range of terrestrial environments. Officially the ship is registered as Aleph-2179-Delta, but its callsign and unofficial name is Blue Quasar.

Setting Info: The Galactic Community, often shortened to GalCom, is a broad label that encompasses all sapient life in the galaxy, some 478 different species hailing from a broad range of different biomes, many of which are not compatible with each other. This means that some worlds are ideal colony locations for some species while being uninhabitable death worlds to others, and that depending on what type of species a given station, ship, or facility was constructed for, other species may need to wear environmental suits while visiting. Fortunately, many species do have tolerable degrees of environmental overlap with each other, allowing co-habitation, shared rations, etc. Humans and Szathran are one such example, with cross-compatible biospheres that allow them to breathe each other's atmosphere and eat each other's foods.

Despite the large number of intelligent space-faring species and the number of inhabited planets including colony worlds, the vast majority of the galaxy is still unexplored, because space is simply that big. There is no shortage whatsoever of locations to explore and anomalies to investigate.

Interstellar / FTL travel is accomplished via Repeater Drives, a type of engine that allows the ship to quantum teleport only a few meters at a time, but able to do this several billion times per second. Sub-luminal travel is performed with Impulse Drives, which can take a ship from one side of a solar system to the other within a day.

Humanity entered the Galactic Community 3 years ago, when the fledgling Mars colony was contacted by GalCom representatives—in becoming a multi-planetary species, Humanity had "earned their place in the stars", according to them. With the Galactic Community's aid, Humanity's technology progressed at a rapid pace, and though still behind the galactic average, is now sufficient for interstellar FTL travel and extrasolar colonization.
