Day 1 of introducing my Star Trk fanfic universe ‘cause I’m too lazy to work on it - the Protagonists ! (2/2)
Yay Najak ! Was first created as a sona but then became just an OC. She’s still my favorite though. Lots of lore for her. CW for mentions of blood, bullying, injuries.
She had quite a shitty childhood. Her parents met on a cruise ship. Her father was a rich human client and her mother a tokiel dancer. They fell in love and moved together on Earth, and she was born a few years later. Her father left when she was 3, leaving her mother with no income and no place where to live (one of the differences between this AU and the original universe is it’s not quite as utopic and still has money). T’Kayna (Najak’s mother) started a small sewing shop in a suburban neighborhood, earning enough to live in a pretty bad flat. Najak went to public school and, being the only Vulcan of the school (not a lot of aliens in small towns - and who doesn’t love traumatized OCs ?) she was bullied. T’Kayna spoke no english or federation standard, and couldn’t really help. Najak just endured bullying till the end of elementary school. She has a scar on her right shoulder from kids "checking" if her blood was red or green.
In high school, she built herself a new persona. She wore noise-cancelling headphones to cover her ears, hid her tail under her clothes. She ended up being the "weird girl you should not pick a fight with" rather than popular but at least she was not seen as The Vulkie. (Vulkie is a term I made up for ATPMC. It was used as a slur against Vulcans in ENT-era, reclaimed during TOS-era mostly by half-Vulcans and it ended up being a casual, pejorative or even affectionate term for Vulcans)
She then went to Starfleet Academy to be an engineer, finished it with the "Best Purge of the Year" prize. Feeling disconnected from her Vulcan-ness, she travelled to her mother’s birthplace, a small city called Tol’aik. She stayed there for a year, studied the language and culture she tried to ignore all her life. It was at that moment she adopted the half-bleached half-natural hairstyle as a symbol of her mixed heritage.
Then she went back to Starfleet and was affected to the USS Adventure, an old wreck in desperate need of engineers. On her first day of work, she helped a coworker find his engagement ring he had lost. Then other engineers started asking her to find stuff they had lost. It left her no time for engineering, so she opened the Lost-and-Found Service, and it’s still her job in the main story.
She’s autistic and always eats the same stuff (plomeek soup, ice cream and tea). Personnality-wise she’s like is T’Pol and Bones were fused by a transporter malfunction. She CUSSES so much and all the time, complains a lot too. She does use some colorful metaphors like "Holy mother of Surak" or "You son of a tribblefucker".
And of course she falls in love with Hazel and they have the most stereotypical golden retriever/black cat vibes. Space Yuri is the best. Yay happy end. Or not. Eh eh eh.
