Nexus was originally created many years ago in the FSS Excalbur stories, as a supporting character for Swiftwind( meow.social/@dekafox/109322701… ). Seeing some discussions recently reminded me of hir, and gave me the thought of giving hir some attention.
Shi is a stellar foxtaur, which is a dual-gendered genetically-engineered taur race similar to the chakats, and shares a bunch of traits with them. Other than the base species, the biggest difference is that there are 7 different sub-types, each optimized for a different environment. Nexus specifically is of the Starwalker sub-breed, which is designed specifically for living in space. Besides adjustments to prevent bone decalcification from long periods of freefall, starwalkers have special anti-radiation properties in their fur, golden secondary eyelids to protect their eyes from solar glare, heat-radiating surfaces in their ears, and even a specialized organ to store oxygen located in their tail.
The first time Nexus met Swiftwind was during hir midshipman's cruise aboard the FSS Potemkin, a Resolute-class destroyer. They kept in touch but didn't really become Companions until Swiftwind was beached for a short time, following a piloting incident. They met up back on Earth and then luck happened to place them both on the FSS Excalibur for it's maiden voyage. When Swiftwind left however, Nexus chose to stay on as Chief Engineer. Though they see each other far less than when they were sharing a ship, they are still Companions officially, and possibly more unofficially. Swiftwind has yet to bring the topic up though, and Nexus is not the sort to take the initiative in matters of the heart.
Next up is an OC that used to be a 'sona, Chakat Swiftwind.
I created hir back in '05 when I first learned about 'kats. When shi became an OC though, I envisioned hir as a hotshot pilot type. I even put hir into the one chakatverse story I wrote as the helmsman. I ended up never writing more, but I see hir as eventually having left Star Fleet to become a test pilot, rather than becoming Captain.
