Lt. Commander Killian: So what was your name again?
Nevularxi: I have not already told you. I’m afraid my name may not translate into your language.
Lt. Commander Killian: Oh yeah?
Nevularxi: I am named for a period of time on my home planet that surrounds the immediate aftermath of the second yearly equinox of our planet’s solar star. It’s the period following our fertile rainy season, and marked the beginning of the harvest in years of antiquity, as well as the coming of the colder, darker season which our species typically spends in isolation or hibernation. The period is considered to be a time of great liminality and spiritual importance in our ancient religions, although since the dawn of the modern technological age it has lost some of its transient meaning.
Lt. Commander Killian: …Okay, but i meant more like. how do I say your name.
Nevularxi: Oh, it’s nev-you-LARK-zee.
Lt. Commander Killian: Gotcha. by the way, your name in english is October.
#oc#humans are space orcs#these are original characters of mine btw#Killian Weir is a human scientist whose dad got them a high ranking official job through nepotism#and they’re very out of their depth since all of their credentials are academic and not in leadership#so they’re overqualified for the scientific and technological aspect of their job. and vastly under qualified for every other part of it#Nev is an alien who had to fight tooth and nail to claw her way up through the ranks. so she resents Killian a bit#but later in their story arc they fall in love and go against the hypercapitalist intergalactic regime together#so it’s ok#i don’t have a design for Nev quite yet#i know i want her to be blues and purples mostly#but i want there to be a little bit of a speculative biology aspect to her design#so i have to do some worldbuilding first before i settle on anything#i just know that i want her to be bipedal but with 4 arms#and i’m also imagining her with a bob haircut. whether it’s gonna be hair or feathers or something else remains to be seen#Killian is like. 6’3 ish red haired irish american. built like a jock sort of but unfortunately lacking the swag to be sexy#They’re a xenogeologist btw. <3 i love geology
