Name: Kerrfi Rhodes
Age: 20 Years
Gender: Female
Species: Tapir (Baird's). Unlike most Tapir, Kerrfi is omnivorous.
Home Planet: Illis
Employment: Ensign Maintenance and Operations Engineer
Appearence:
Kerrfi stands at just over 5'9", and has a wide, stocky stature. She is evidently fat, with a rounded stomach and obvious rump, and
comparatively small chest, but under the chubby exterior lies a durable,
tough body. Being a Tapir, she has a short, prehensile snout in place
of a nose and upper lip that hangs down below her shallow, rounded chin,
and her thick nose bridge sets her keen eyes wide apart on her face.
Her short, rounded ears protrude from the mass of black, swept-back
Dreadlocks on her head, only kept in place by a simple headband. Her fur
is a warm brown, but is mostly covered by her utilitarian uniform,
comprised of a jacket, tuck-ins and plated metal armor that displays
rank and iconography. Its a rare day that Kerrfi doesn't have at least
three different tools or parts hanging from her utility belt, and her
pockets are stuffed with items ranging from heat-sinks and power
couplings to packets of preserved meat or candy.
Personality: Kerrfi is a social creature, albeit not an exceptional one. She's kind and almost maternal towards those she forges a connection with, or feels are
vulnerable, but her patience is limited, particularly when concerning
young children or views that conflict with her own. An unashamed
glutton, she can easily be tempted or won over by food when it comes to
trivial matters. However, she can also be stubborn and uncompromising
when others might give in or adapt. Not particularly courageous, Kerrfi
can easily be frightened, especially by her fear of deep, underwater
spaces and large sea creatures. However, her aggressive optimism means
that while she can easily be scared, her long-term morale is difficult
to shake.
Background: The child of two space-faring Tapir
who'd decided to settle down on the watery planet of Illis, Kerrfi's
family were the proverbial black sheep of the world; Rather than living
deep beneath the oceans, they lived under the shadow of a bustling
spaceport. Although she often had to travel under the waves to simply
get by, Kerrfi was always uneasy about the deep oceans, and tales of
colossal sea-monsters seeded a childish fear that would one day grown
into a full-blown case of Underwater Agoraphobia. A fear like this would
be a crushing burden to any normal inhabitant of Illis, but for Kerrfi,
it simply taught her to stop looking down and start looking up. After
applying to an academy on Illis and studying Astro-Engineering, Kerrfi's
life in and around the busy space-ports gave her an edge she'd never
dreamed of, and despite her lazy teenage tendencies, she received
healthy pass grades in all areas, and became a qualified Engineer.
As a woman who'd grown up on an aquatic planet with a deep-seated fear of
deep oceans and giant monsters, it wasn't surprising that Kerrfi had
developed a great sense of wanderlust, and when she was met with the
opportunity to take to space and put her talents to use, she didn't need
to be told twice...
Extras: Kerrfi belongs to a family of four; Her biological parents and one brother, all Tapir. She prefers being planet-side to traveling in space, but she believes the voyage a necessary evil in order for her to see the wonders of the
galaxy first-hand. Kerrfi once considered her sexual orientation to be
straight, but after a fling with a cabin-mate, she soon realized that
gender wasn't an issue for her. Kerrfi is situated in Cabin 12.
