Kula

Authored by Riley W

Character Biography

Appearance: Kula is a tall, soft figure. She is 180 cm tall, which is fairly short for her species, while still being about 6 feet, still tall for a human. Kula is a wolf-like being, with fur all over her body, a canine snout, wolf-like ears, and a sleek tail. Her tail is nearly long enough to touch the floor. Her eyes are deep blue, and her fur has a gradient coloration from grey on her back to white in the middle of her chest, with a general coloration resembling that of a Husky.

Where most humanoid species have feet structured so that they walk on their heels, Kula’s species is much like the Caitians in that they walk on the balls and toes of their feet, their heels much longer than those of standard species and positioned high in the air whilst walking. This is called being digitigrade. Another difference is that the species of her planet evolved with four phalanges instead of the five of most species - leaving her with three fingers and a thumb instead of the standard four fingers and a thumb. This holds for her toes as well. Her fingers are tipped with sharp canine claws, but she is careful to maintain them as to not harm anyone by accidentally scratching them.

She generally wears neutral colours - tans and pastels - and flowy garments, with a device on her wrist that acts as a universal translator, a clock, a PaDD, and several other uses as well. Kula, like her Fiancés, has two earrings on the base of her right ear, but has no other body mods.

History: Kula was born in 2237 and raised in Newbury, the capitol city of the most technologically advanced region (Salan) on her planet (Galdor) in the Kelvin timeline. Kula was a highly energetic and curious pup, constantly seeking to learn more about the world and people around her. Her next-door neighbour, Mwezi, was much less outgoing than her, but Kula was determined to make friends with him. Kula was a bit of a prodigy in school and finished her primary education two years earlier than the average. She almost immediately enrolled in the Galdor Science Academy, majoring in physics and mathematics, and achieving the equivalent of a Ph.D. in theoretical and warp physics.

Mwezi and Kula hung out often during their time in post-secondary, with the orbital portions of Science Academy and Astronaut Academy being on the same Space Station. It was during these days that Kula met Shilo, and the two hit it off immediately. By the time they graduated, the three had codified their polyamorous relationship, and a few years later they would become official fiancés.

When Shilo and Mwezi began to serve in the Galdori Fleet, Kula stayed home and studied theoretical physics. When Mwezi transferred to Starfleet, Shilo and Kula held the home front. Kula was part of a research team investigating a revolutionary teleportation method. Long story short, it went bad and she ended up in the prime timeline, along with (thankfully) her partners. The three stayed on a ship called the Leviathan for some time, then Shilo and Kula returned home to Galdor while Mwezi continued exploring the galaxy. All was not perfect, however, as this time-and-universe displaced version of Galdor was not the same one they’d left behind, and many familiar things were unfamiliar. Kula did her best to fit in, happily learning the science that had advanced in the time between, and excitedly studying the more successful results of her research in this new timeline, but something was missing. Shilo felt the absence too, and when the invitation came for the duo to move to the Asimov and live with their partner on a Starfleet ship, they both jumped at the chance.
