Tell us more about Ilora?
missiodine answered:
I would to talk about Ilora. I first made her as my Star Trek Online character, but she quickly evolved a bit of story, so now she’s my main OC.
Her full name is Ilora Betek and she’s a twenty-seven year old gul in the Central Command, quite young compared to most officers of that rank. She was appointed this command role after the Detapa Council realized that Central Command lacked sufficient numbers of “hands on” officers.
She was born on the Cardassian homeworld, but her family moved to a frontier colony world early on when she was still young where she met some other children who would become lifelong friends (I’ve written a little bit on them on my AO3. At the moment, my AO3 stories mainly focus moreso on different characters, but Ilora does make appearances from time to time). She enlisted into the Cardassian military after a brutal attack on her home colony by disgruntled Maquis renegades.
Ilora is loyal to the Cardassian Union, first and foremost, but she isn’t as fanatically devoted to the State as many other Cardassian military personnel might be. Neither is she quite as arrogant or xenophobic as others. She does believe in cooperation between the Union and the Federation and Bajor, but she does often find herself suspicious at their motives. She does have a Bajoran girlfriend though who she loves.
Her hobbies mainly include causing trouble. She has been known to visit Terok Nor DS9 and walk into Quark’s to start unnecessary arguments with people. Although, she does know when to tone it down, never letting any incident having to be handled by station security.
She’s just a lil lizard. Doing lizard things.
