Physical Appearance

Physical Description

Liyana is a Trill with a striking look—long pink hair cut into a mullet, the sides of her head shaved close in a bold contrast. Slender yet well-toned, her frame bore the proof of long hours in Starfleet’s engine bays and maintenance shafts. Milk-chocolate Trill spots traced gracefully along her skin, a soft, natural pattern against the strength she carried. Her hands were calloused from endless labor, every fingertip marked by the work she lived for. Scars crisscrossed her arms and shoulders—quiet records of accidents and near-misses in the line of duty. She carried them without shame; each mark was proof of her resilience, her craft, and her refusal to quit.

Personality & Traits

General Overview

hard-working and meticulous, the kind of mechanic who knows that every bolt tightened and every system recalibrated could be the difference between safety and disaster.

Personal History		Liyana Teylan was born in Mak’ala Province, Trill, Stardate xxxxx.xx. The eldest daughter of civil engineer Daren Teylan and botanist Serelle Teylan, she was raised in an environment that valued education, discipline, and practical skill. From an early age, she demonstrated a fascination with machines and systems, preferring workshops and mechanical projects to more traditional academic pursuits. As a youth, Liyana apprenticed under local orbital dock technicians, where she gained a reputation for diligence and resilience. She elected to enlist in Starfleet rather than pursue an academic commission, citing a preference for practical service and a desire to “work where her hands could save lives.” During her early service aboard Starbase 72, Liyana was unexpectedly selected by the Trill Symbiosis Commission to become the next host of the Rhessan symbiont following the terminal illness of its prior host, Jorath Rhessan. The Joining was carried out under expedited conditions. Official evaluations note that the integration was successful, with Liyana demonstrating enhanced focus, composure under stress, and a deepened sense of duty following the Joining. Following reassignment to the USS Agincourt, she distinguished herself during multiple damage-control operations under hostile conditions. Her transfer to the USS [Your Ship Here] positioned her as a warp systems specialist, where she continues to serve with distinction. Liyana Rhessan is regarded as a disciplined and reliable enlisted engineer whose dedication to precision maintenance reflects both her personal values and the accumulated influence of the Rhessan symbiont’s prior hosts.
