Security
Please specify specialty within field if needed.
Species:
Angelan
Age:
29
Physical Description:
Xena is rather tall for any woman. She stands at 5 feet 10 ½ inches right up there with a few men. That height she acquired from her fathers side of the family, everyone was very tall. Her father towered at 6 feet and 5 inches. Everyone on her mothers’ side was very tiny, matter a fact the only thing she got from her mother was her long black hair and piercing ice blue eyes. Due to those things Xena tends to stand out in a crowd, and depending on whom she is around, can be quite intimidating. As a child she never liked that, but as an adult, well it’s not that bad. Xena has rather the shape of an athlete, mainly that of a runner and gymnast. This would make sense since she did both activities since she was in elementary school all the way up through the academy.
Xena has a slightly visible scar on her right arm near her shoulder which is about one inch long and three centimeters wide, and had nearly went through to the other side. She received that scar in a fight she got into when she had been sixteen. It had started out with a boy teasing her about various things, and she was doing fine ignoring him until he started talking bad about her mother as well as calling Xena some unflattering names. She lost control of her temper and attacked not knowing that he was packing a knife. She had also got stabbed in the left side in that fight, but that was easily reparable as it had not been real deep unlike the puncture to her arm.
Off duty Xena can usually be found in either jean shorts or pants, and a t-shirt or tank top, with her hair in an up poney tail. The only times she’ll have her hair loose, going down to the middle of her back is for a real formal occasion or if the setting seems fitting. On duty her hair is back in a French braid.

History/Background/Education
Xena was born on a Federation colony that was made to relocate the survivors of the Odin and any Angelans that were exiled from the planet Angel I. After relocation the colonists set up a village, and a new way of life. It was a bit hard for the Angelan women to adapt to a new government, one that was not run and dominated by women. Life there was great for those that left. They were fruitful and multiplied. Of course being close to an out post a few traders would come along and offer them things in exchange for others. A few people even decided to stay, that is if they granted them permission. That however was a rather rare thing, but it did happen a few times.
That is one of the reasons the colonists set up watch posts and guard shifts as to make certain their families and village stayed safe. They didn’t want any contamination to their way of life. Of course stories were always told about the past and from those that they let stay on the planet with them. Those stories usually got the children talking.
Several years later, those children that did not leave in search for a new life grew up and married. In turn they had children. One couple had a daughter which they named Xena. Due to her Angelan heritage she had no last name. Xena was raised on one of the farms in the village. She was quite a smart girl, but she didn’t find her home life all that thrilling so every hour she wasn’t needed at home she’d be out exploring the planet and its natural inhabitants or off reading. Xena would also go out into the wooded areas to be alone after hearing a tale of her ancestors and tried to imagine what that life was like.
Had it been Amazonian in nature? The thought and just the idea of a female dominated society was intriguing, especially since the boys on the colony and in the village would make fun. They never seemed to learn their lesson either because Xena would kick their butts when provoked, so she was always getting in trouble for fighting. Her parents just didn’t seem to understand neither did her two older sisters and older brother, but she still loved them.
Once when she was old enough her parents decided to let her visit the nearest Federation out post so she could see how well she actually had it which ended up being a big mistake. For the world there Xena found extremely wonderful. She even met a boy there who was more than happy to show her around and tell tales of all sorts. He even let her in on some of his hobbies.
It had been an exhilarating and thrilling experience for Xena. When she got home she couldn’t sleep that night so she went out alone and tried her hand at a few of the things that boy had showed her, of course she needed items so she made them because they didn’t have. One day that same boy came and visited her village. This was the night Xena had watch duty. The two talked and he ended up convincing her to go to bed as he wanted to be useful. Xena reluctantly agreed.
That was when the trouble started. A raging fire, and sudden attack burst out in the middle of the night! Xena tried to help stop it, but couldn’t. She watched as her family and many others burn and got shot in this perilous hour. It all ended up being because she had trusted that boy. There had been a showdown between her and him. He taught her a little too well about the art of fighting and his hobbies that Xena ended up with his life in her hands. She decided to spare it.
With all the death and despair that had went on Xena left what very few people were left and took off straight for Angle I feeling that if she stayed the survivors would be worse off. When she arrived at Angle I they were skeptical about taking Xena in, but eventually did and she was taught their way of life and rules.
She found it quite nice actually, but despite that she decided to leave the planet five years later and go to Starfleet Academy since she had never been able to shake how she felt and what she thought from her mind after that one visit to the out post.
Xena failed the entrance exam the first time but not the second. From the minute she was enlisted she always did her best. When she graduated she was first posted on the USS Spenix, then the USS Greffon. It was there she got a promotion to Lt. JG. Her third posting was back on earth which led to her becoming a Lieutenant. Later it was decided that she would best serve on the USS Orion. So, orders being orders Xena was off again, but this time she didn’t know what she’d be doing.
It does not need to be super long or very complex.
Personality Profile:
Because of where she grew up Xena is rather untrusting, and a bit on the rough and tough side. She expects for the most part that all people have a hidden agenda and are purely up to something. She can be sweet and compassionate at times, but that is rare unless you are a family member or you have done something to earn or deserve it.
Xena isn’t anti social or a big bully, quite the opposite. She enjoys talking, a good joke, and interaction. She is just cautious about a lot of things. Her tough exterior is mainly to mask her pain, anguish, and the feeling of not belonging.
You see Xena is alone in the universe, at least from her point of view. Everyone she had ever loved has died a painful death, which she blames herself for. If she hadn’t trusted someone that was new to their village and fell asleep on watch duty everyone might still be alive. She is not like most girls.
Other Personal Details:
Xena has a very good ear so she is very good at picking up on different languages, and music notes. Currently she can read, write, and speak: Bajoran, Klingon, and Romulan.
She can also speak three other Earth languages (not counting English) which are: Spanish, French, and German. In the academy she minored in engineering. Naturally she keeps all she knows hidden until it needs to be known as she is not the bragging type. She gets rather irritated when her name gets spelled with a Z instead of an X.
Any Special Notes:
Xena once broke her arm when she got knock from her horse, popped her shoulder once in a game of squares. She is allergic to dogs, and is also allergic to strawberries. If she’s in a real good mood she just might even sing, and play the guitar for you.

Role-Play Sample:
This is a post from another site.
Xena had boarded the ship and settled into her designated quarter for this unknown mission. It felt really strange boarding and settling on a ship in which you knew nothing about the mission, only that it required you to be here. Xena wasn’t exactly all too fond of that because she hated being kept in the dark, especially being a security officer.
Hearing her stomach rumble a bit Xena decided to have a bite to eat. So she set off to the ‘ships waterhole’. She could have eaten in her quarters, but she didn’t exactly think it fitting at the time for it would be best to get to know the ship and it’s crew before they left without looking back.
“So, this is it.” Xena mumbled to herself under her breath as she took in the mess and the few officers about. “Could be worse, could be the penal colony.” Yes, she had been there, but not as a prisoner, just as an observer. Not to mention, for some reason Xena rather liked New Zealand. It was quite pretty. Stepping up to the replicator after a brief glance around Xena finally placed her order.
“Give me a Raktajino and some Vulcan Pok tar.”
After watching it shimmer into view Xena picked up her tray and walked over to a group of officers. She looked down at them from their seated positions. She felt a brief wave of uncertainty that she had once felt in school when she towered above the other children.
Thankfully the felling went as quickly as it came.
“Do you mind if I sit down?” Xena inquired of each rather bluntly as she gave each a look, committing their faces to memory.
