Other details:
Religion: Worships Sandar, the local divine being on his planet. Sandar
is said to be a god of magic. He is shown as a pan-like being, handsome
with skill at music and magic. Statues to Sandar abound on the planet
and groves are sacred to him. A high priestess governs religious matters

and she is served by various lower level priestesses, all females.
Services are always conducted at midnight or dawn and involve dancing,
music and the sacrifice of a non-living item of value in sacred flame
on special occasions. In the past the sacrifice was a living being,
usually male, but such barbaric practices have long gone out of style.
Some females have a special talent to tell the future on a limited basis

and these are also part of the religious structure - they are called
soothsayers and practice their craft in the temples. Males are now
allowed to participate in the religion and can hold minor offices. Many
males choose to live life as monks and have formed monestaries
throughout the planet where they teach mental disciplines and combat
skills. The monks are well respected and are considered defenders of the

planet.

Personality:
Serl is normally quiet and friendly, although people who talk to him
find they tend to talk more than he does. He likes to listen to people
and he tends to remember what they say for long lengths of time. Serl
has a slight touch of his people's magic skills and it is somewhat
unreliable. He sometimes has a feeling something isn't right or someone
isn't telling the truth or someone isn't feeling very well. It varies
depending on the day and the people he is around. It is far from
spectacular but his family finds it exciting that a male can do even
that much. He does have a quick temper, which is also a trait of his
people.

Planet information:
Deria is an odd world of mists and some say, magic. Women hold the power

on the planet. Almost all important posts are filled by women, although
men with talent are recognized and honored as such. The women have
Betazoid-style mental skills, but the men rarely do. However, once in
awhile, men do have these skills. Serl does. This is attributed to his
being a triplet.

The males of the planet concentrate on being warriors. If not at war,
they fight in challenge contests in which killing is quite common. They
are usually strong and physically fit. When too old or too injured to
fight, they train more warriors.

They have recently joined the Federation.

Personal history:
Serl is the son of a Derian mother and a Terran father. His father was a
mining engineer on Deria's moon when he met his future wife.

Cadet Montoya has the most startling eyes I've ever seen. When you can
get him to respond in class, he always knows his answers. He is studious
and well liked, always getting top grades.

Ensign Montoya was of great benefit in cracking a tough Romulan code
while working in the embassy. He is greatly missed, although he simply
could not pose as a Romulan with that hair of his.
