----- Begin Biographical Record ----- Record THR-47T89-67R3J-7 Tau Last Update: SD 131215 LtJG Cialinale Tiersk Formerly CEO, USS RENAISSANCE Rank: Lieutenant, Junior Grade (O-2) Family Name: Tiersk Personal Name: Cialinale (Nickname: Cia) (both pronounced with a soft C, similar to an S sound) Species: Theran Citizenship: Thera Five Theran Telekinetic Rating: 3 (on a scale of 0-100; therefore extremely low) Place of Birth: community of Malri, Brifurze Province, Thera Five Date of Birth: Arae Cialinale, (A planetary holiday) December 15, 2385 Current Age: 28 Stanard Terran Years Serial Number: 47T89-67R3J-7 Tau Hair Color: Emerald Green, worn at just over shoulder-length, usually loose Eye Color: Emerald Green Skin Tone: Pale, but similar to Terrans of Northern European or Nordic heritage. Gender: Female Height: 1.78 m Weight: 61 kg Identifying marks: None. Biological Notes: As a Theran, she possesses a "floating" seventh rib. This is universal among Therans, but only appears rarely among Terrans and Betazoids. (Around the turn of the millenium, Terran females with "floating ribs" were used as models, as they could fit into slightly smaller clothing.) Other than the "floating rib" and hair and eye colorations, Therans are indistinguishable from either Terrans or Betazoids. Education: Theran Public School System, ages 4-20 Starfleet Academy, ages 20-24 (Specializations in Starship Engineering and General Sciences) Qualifications: Speaks at conversational level or better in Theran, Terran standard, Betazoid, and Bajoran. Medical Data: Allergies: None known. Surgical history: None known. Religious Affiliation: The Theran culture includes a polytheistic religion, which is universal and unnamed. Within this religion, each individual is designated as under the protection of a certain deity, much like the "patron saint" concept in Terran Catholicism. These are identified in a coming of age ceremony usually held at age 20, at which time standard schooling is also completed and the individual is considered an adult. All Therans wear a bracelet inset with a series of gemstones; these serve to identify that Theran's affiliation, and also are considered the mark of adulthood. Starfleet has granted permission for Therans to wear these bracelets with their uniforms, on the same basis as Bajoran earring use. Family: Cialinale was orphaned at age four, and raised by the Theran government social services system. Her listed next of kin is her roommate from the Academy, Ensign Claire Alyson McPherson, currently assigned to the OPS department, Starbase Gibraltar. Assets: A pair of 3-centimeter wide silver bracelets, each set with four emeralds; one is constantly worn on each wrist, and each is engraved (on the inside surface) with her name in both Theran and Terran characters. A Theran wire-strung harp, small enough to be carried in an over-the-shoulder carrying case, and played while placed on the lap. Personal Traits: Cialinale - commonly known as Cia - is an avid musician, and practices with her Theran wire-strung harp often. She has many hobbies, due to the fact that unlike Terrans and Betazoids - whom Therans are often mistaken for, since they share a similar physiology - Therans only require about four hours of sleep every night. These hobbies generally involve reading, music, and tinkering with small objects (often restoring objects of historical interest, such as antiques). Therans are also empathic, though not telepathic, and can often anticipate emotional or physical reactions seconds in advance. They have a knack for avoiding dangerous situations by fractions of a second, due to this ability, though it sometimes fails when the danger comes from inanimate objects. They also have limited telekinetic abilities, but Cialinale's are rated at almost the minimum (a three on a zero to one hundred scale), and she is unable to make conscious use of them. They have been witnessed to manifest when she is startled or extremely stressed, and can include short-range interference with electronics, explosions of fragile objects, and impossible movements of very small objects (such as a spinning knife on a table, without any visible influences). In general, these abilities manifest themselves similarly to a very low-level magnetic field, though they are not actually magnetic in nature, and thus do not read on scanning devices.
