Character Name: Tallok Grax Character Race: Trill Character Gender: Male Rank Type: Officer
Character Appearance: Tallok is about 6ft2. He is a joined trill and the symbiote is more than 100 years old. He has dark brown hair and has dark blue eyes. He has stripes goint across his forehead and down his neck all the way to his feet.
Character Personality: Aboard ship, Tallok is extremely sociable. When the mood is right, he can be persuaded to play a Vulcan lute. While the music may be lively or romantic or plaintive, all of it relates to story-songs which tell the history of his race or his family. Tallok also can be persuaded at very rare moments to display a special proficiency in sleight-of-hand, a trick he picked up while in the merchant space service.
While Tallok appeared to be a quiet, efficient, junior officer, his captain knows that he is the life of the Party. He is most often the first person there and the last on to leave.
Character Background:
Tallok has no brothers or sisters. In fact, it is highly unusual for there to be more than one child per family. The population must be kept down due to the longer life factor. As a result, all children are precious, and families are close. Ancestral records are kept in great detail, dating back for centuries. Tallok's line can be traced for three thousand years.
Tallok's home planet, Trill, is a member of the Federation. It does not contribute as much Military assets as it is a relatively peaceful race. It remains in loose alliance with several Major Powers such as the Ferengi and the Klingons, coming under its agreements for trade, science, and aid in an emergency. Trill is located about 55 light years from Deep Space 9. It is also a peaceful planet which has never been involved in a war. It came extremely close to war when the Dominion invaded the Alpha Quadrant. The technology is as advanced as Earth's; the architectural style of its cities is aesthetically pleasing rather than functional than. The society has no class levels.
Tallok has been in Starfleet for many years. He is known as the best fighter pilot in the Fleet. Before he entered the service as a technician, he spent two years in the merchant space fleet. Tallok's people are long lived, and Tallok knew from the very beginning that he wished to spend his long life in space. While Tallok is an officer, and a good one, he is not a product of the Starfleet Academy. He worked his way up through the ranks, becoming an officer via a "field commission" during a battle involving the Dominion and USS Agamemnon a Sovereign class ship, which he was then serving aboard. All the officers were killed in the fray, and Tallok took command to affect a temporary retreat and then a return action which took the Klingon ship by surprise and allowed Tallok to disable her and bring her in to face Federation charges. It was the first Dominion ship captured whole.

- He ran for his uniform and got changed. He then ran out of the door. He ran for the Turbolist. He tapped a button which took him to sickbay. He stepped out of the turbolift. He entered sickbay. He waited. All of a sudden people started to rush in. Two were already dead. He looked over a 3rd. He was dieing.*
