Characters Played: n/a
CHARACTER:
Name: Deanna Troi
Canon: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Canon Point: During First Contact, after passing out during her drinking session with Zephram Cochrane.
Age: 41
Original Universe or Alternate Universe?: Original
Background: Wiki link
RECORD:
Disposition: Deanna is, first and foremost, a helper. Her natural empathy makes her an ideal counselor, and she always tries to look at things from the other person’s point of view before passing judgment. She takes joy in her work as ship’s counselor, and uses her empathic powers to allow her to understand her clients’ emotional states when she evaluates them. She also enjoys socializing with friends, especially over a nice meal and a dessert of a chocolate sundae.
Deanna's patience and understanding in the face of frustration help her deal with situations in her personal and professional life alike. The two are inevitably entwined considering the size of the population of the ship, but she knows how to keep information confidential when needed, and when to offer unorthodox advice or find a different way to tackle a problem. Data, an android who cannot feel emotions, comes to her often for advice, and she always finds a way to help him understand people's behavior better.
Deanna does display some outward irritation when especially exasperated, however. She reaches this state most often in relation to her mother, who is often, in Deanna’s opinion, inappropriately familiar with people she doesn’t know. She becomes annoyed at her mother’s flamboyance and her insistence in using her telepathic abilities to communicate with Deanna behind people’s backs. She can even reach this state of annoyance when a client pushes things too far, especially as it regards pushing personal boundaries. She doesn't appreciate people intruding in on her private life.
Deanna most fears losing control of her empathic abilities, and has even experienced the loss of her powers during an incursion with some two-dimensional aliens. She found the loss so distressing that she attempted to quit as ship’s counselor, believing that she could not carry out her duties without them. Eventually she learned to rely on her other skills to continue working as counselor, although she found this uncomfortable and distressing.
Deanna makes tough choices to advance her career, despite the fact that some of those things don't immediately come naturally to her. After several attempts to pass a leadership exam she realizes she's being tasked with responding to a no-win situation, something that she dislikes. But she makes it a priority to learn and understand why those decisions have to be made in order to move up in rank. Over the course the show, and on into the movies, she learns to make those hard choices and sacrifices in order to help people who depend on Starfleet.
First impression: Deanna's nature is to be an unflappable observer in times of duress. It's inevitable, though, that her empathic powers will threaten to overwhelm her with the emotions of the people who have arrived with her. The first impression, for Deanna, will be a shared experience, a jumble of emotions. Nevertheless, Deanna will endeavor to keep any outbursts of emotion to herself and internalize everything she's experiencing. She will first of all do her best to be a shoulder to lean on for other new arrivals, so she won't want to show that she's disturbed by what's happening. Her first instinct in this situation will be to investigate what has happened and try to come up with a plan of action from there.
Under pressure: In Isometrical, Deanna is liable to take on a position of understanding toward those who have been brought here with her, and will try to put herself in a bit of a position of intermediary when it comes to dealing with the Limnus aliens. She knows what it is to deal with a powerful alien force; she knows taking a wrong tack could lead to the loss of life. She doesn't feel that the others who have arrived with her should have to tread into this kind of situation without knowing the consequences and so she will try to put herself in a position of leadership when dealing with them. Having trained as an officer in Starfleet, she knows sometimes leaders need to make hard choices to protect those who are under their purview.
She will also realize that for the most part everyone here is an innocent who was kidnapped from their homes, and will do her best to help them get through this situation. Her background as a counselor will give her a lot of insight into the psyche of those who have arrived as they react to finding themselves in this strange place. She will be limited in her ability to give people the emotional tools to work through their feelings of upset at being brought here, but she will do her best.
Deanna will likely also be seeking a method to contact the Enterprise, as she will be assuming she's located somewhere within her own universe, and will assume that a rescue attempt by the Enterprise is the most likely to succeed. She doesn't have the technical skills to do this herself, so she will do her best to find someone to contact within the community to help her with this endeavor.
Powers, abilities, & companions: Deanna is a Betazoid alien, although she is half-human, meaning she doesn't have the full set of Betazoid abilities to read minds, but instead can perceive the emotional states of other sentient creatures. Deanna is well-trained in combat forms of Klingon martial arts and other fighting methods, meaning she is well able to defend herself in an altercation.
Notes: n/a
Inventory: Deanna was dressed in civilian clothes at the time of her canon point. She would have only her Starfleet communicator in regards to other effects.
SAMPLES:
Dialogue-heavy sample: [ Deanna felt strange making an open broadcast like this. When people wanted to communicate on the Enterprise, they used communicators similar to this, but rarely did anyone broadcast to the whole ship.
Still. This seemed necessary. ]
I am searching for members of the crew of the ship Enterprise, or anyone who's ever served in Starfleet. I have theories about this situation and our place in it and we need to discuss what can be done immmediately. Please contact me at this network ID.
[ Deanna started to click the communicator off, but then another thought came to her. This was important as well. ]
I'm also interested in any information anyone may have about the Limnus, the beings that are said to have brought us here. They seem similar to beings that I have encountered in the past known as the Q. If anyone knows anything about this, please do let me know. Thank you.
Prose-heavy sample: The orders she’d been given were vague at best. She simply had to find out which of the colonists in this little town was the man who, in their version of history, became the man who would make first contact with the Vulcans. She had the advantage of having learned about this time period from history, and the clothing she had obtained from the replicator would ensure she blended in visually.
Once she emerged from the secluded place where she had beamed down, she entered the camp. People were concerned about the earlier attack—that much she didn’t need her empathic powers to sense. She moved among them, looking for a social center, some place where the people were not as concerned at the moment with the process of assessing the damage or starting cleanup. It didn’t take her long to find it; as sparsely as the place was attended at the moment, the place was recognizable to her as a bar. And there were only a few patrons. That would make her inquiries more discreet.
She smiled faintly at the man next to her as she took a seat at the bar. He was watching her with some curiosity and she sensed that he was open to a conversation. “It’s nice to see that not everyone is panicking,” she said.
