Name: Aackli Enachu Utili Oshica Okiki Bob-Josephs.

She demands that the entire name and title be recited whenever a human addresses her.

Age: 73 Earth-years

Gender: Female, although gender ultimately means extremely little to her race, except when producing children for their House. They never even developed separate male/female pronouns.

Species: Klu-atonn, also known as the Grand Klu or Great Klu (Civil, although many experts argue that they should be reclassified as Savage; this is a fairly controversial subject)

Species Description:

Describing them in human terms can be... challenging. Klu-atonn look as if a mythological centaur, a Spartan soldier and a giant ant were accidently fused together in some horrific military experiment, then released into the wild for fifty years. They possess six strong limbs, a slithering tail and a muscular, lengthy neck- all shielded in a shining exoskeleton strongly reminiscent of bronze armour. The back four limbs end in golden horse hooves. The front two rear up into hands claiming three clawed fingers and a thumb. They are nine feet long and 6 feet tall, not counting a three foot tail. Obviously Klu-atonn are non-bipedal, non-humanoids.

Typically, their metallic exoskeleton encases the head and forehead, forming the "helmet" of this spartan's defense (are you starting to see where the armoured centaur comparison came from?), but a single, unblinking black eye and a superficially humanoid jaw remain revealed. Their lips and cheeks (as well as their hands) are formed with a gooey red flesh, which serves as the closest thing to "skin" Klu-atonn have outside their external skeleton. On the inside, rows upon rows of gold teeth wait above a barbed tounge.

It's fitting that they have natural bone armour and claw weapons, because they belong to a culture just as abrasive. A typical Klu-atonn will describe their society as perfectly honour-inspired, built for sacrifice. Likewise, any Klu-atonnian schoolboy can tell you of the Grand Revolution, an event that molded the Klu into the Grand Klu that they are now. According to the official history records, the Revolution has had a larger impact on Klu-atonn society than any other event. Even first contact with alien life completely pales in comparison.

On the Klu-calender, the revolution began roughly around the 6th or 7th Wave, 2nd Cycle, 300th Turn, 1st Era. Three thousand Earth years ago, for humans. There were virtually no reliable records at this time, however, so the history was communicated orally for well over two centuries before someone thought to write it down, and has thus likely suffered some exaggeration. Just don't try to tell a firm believer that. In fact, don't tell anyone that, because if one of this race hears that you questioned their "most glorious" history... well, let's just say it could become very hazardous for your health.

As the story of the revolution is recited, the Klu Homeworld was once populated by two "Foul Peoples"- other sentient races, that is: The first and most accepted of the two were the Lesser Klu, an "inferior sibling" to the Great Klu. Reportedly, they wore a more brittle exoskeleton, they lacked the poisonous claws that Great Klu are known for, and their height climbed only to a measly four feet tall, six feet long.

Following them in order of "purity" were the Klo-eatha. Klu-atonn history states that these were a twisted, deformed people, who walked on two legs instead of four, and bore their bones within. Modern biologists have now realized that this is a very clear description of a humanoid race, a discovery that has brought even more stress to the already strained diplomacy between Grand Klu and humanoids.

Rank: First Rank

Role: First Rank Security Officer

Sexuality: Straight

ESP rating: Very Low (no ESP whatsoever)

Personality:
Aackli is like a blunt weapon. She is aggressive, out-right and brutally honest with herself and her coworkers. Perhaps it's her time as a soldier, or more likely it's her fierce Klu blood, but war fuels her already hot personality like gasoline does a fire.

Don't mistake her aggression for evil, though. Aackli has a very strong and centered moral compass- moreso than most others of her people, in fact. She often feels alone in this, but it is a great hope of hers to one day see her people forget their past of blood and hate, to move on to a more honourable future. She does not believe as others do, that her race is superior to all others. She will never place her own safety above that of the crew's, and she believes strongly that it is her duty to serve the Jubilee. As far as Security officers go, she's as loyal and professional as they come.

Appearance: Bring the most over-stated, glorified, boastful, godlike image of a Grand Klu that you can think of to your mind. Imagine that six limbed warrior standing proudly over a battlefield, cloaked in it's flawless bronze exoskeleton, flecked with the brightest gold hooves and shiniest red lips you've ever seen. One might think that's simply Klu propaganda, but no, that's Aackli. She is ineffably beautiful by the standards of her people, but also athletic and strong.

Her exoskeleton is a very serious, very burnt shade of gold-brown, wrapped around her blood-shaded fingers and mouth, plus her bright hooves, which have been sharpened into deadly daggers. There's no light to be found in her dark eyes and claws. She towers up at six and a half feet tall, but she's only a somewhat stubby eight feet long, so you won't see her complain about it.
