| Physical Description | Lioren Daeval is lean and striking, with an ethereal beauty that feels almost fragile at first glance, like something out of a forgotten Betazoid painting. His skin is pale and luminous, as if kissed more by moonlight than sun, and his face is all delicate angles: high cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and expressive, full lips that rarely smile without meaning it. Thick, dark curls fall in careless waves around his face, sometimes tucked behind one ear when he’s deep in thought. But it’s his eyes, fully black and endlessly deep, that define him: quiet, consuming, and impossible to lie to. He carries himself with an elegant restraint, every movement precise, like someone who hears more than he lets on. |

Personality & Traits

He’s thoughtful, poetic, and emotionally fearless, though not immune to melancholy. He uses gentleness like a blade; disarming, cutting through falsehoods with unnerving clarity. Reserved in crowds but magnetic in quiet spaces, Lioren is the kind of presence that lingers long after he’s gone. He doesn’t seek attention, but he never disappears. |

He envisions a future where emotional intelligence and psychic wellness are integrated into daily Starfleet life, not just triaged after trauma. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Lioren finds solace in quiet, reflective pursuits. He has a deep love for poetry,both reading and writing, and is particularly drawn to ancient Betazoid verse and Earth’s 20th-century poets. His quarters are filled with soft music, incense, and carefully tended plants, including a rare Betazoid bloom he’s grown from seed. He studies philosophy and ritual quietly, more out of personal curiosity than devotion, and he’s known to enjoy classical theater performances, especially tragic dramas. In private moments, he sketches emotional impressions of people, capturing their moods rather than their faces. |
| Personal History | Early Childhood [2253–2265] Lioren was born into the noble House Daeval in the coastal Vandarelle Province of Betazed. Raised in a family known for its artistic and philosophical pursuits, his childhood was marked by quiet reflection and high expectations. The death of his younger brother during a tragic accident cast a long shadow over his early years, fostering a deep sense of loss and responsibility. These experiences shaped Lioren into a thoughtful and reserved young man, often keeping his emotions carefully guarded. Adolescence and Academy Years [2266–2275] Seeking to chart his own course beyond the confines of his family’s traditions, Lioren entered Starfleet Academy as a teenager. He gravitated toward psychology and counseling, quickly developing a reputation for insightfulness and discretion. While his intensity sometimes set him apart from his classmates, he formed meaningful friendships and endured a poignant relationship with a Vulcan exobiologist, which ended when she chose to follow her own path, leaving him with a lasting sense of bittersweetness. Early Career and Specialization [2276–2284] Lioren’s early assignments on medical and diplomatic vessels allowed him to refine his skills in counseling and mediation. His calm demeanor and thoughtful approach earned him quiet respect from colleagues, though he tended to avoid political maneuvering within Starfleet. During this period, he also began writing about the ethical dimensions of emotional well-being, blending philosophy and personal reflection. His expertise occasionally brought him into contact with Starfleet Intelligence on sensitive cases, though these roles remained unofficial. Assignment to USS Proxima [2285-] At 32, Lioren takes up his post as the Counselor aboard the Constitution-class refit USS Proxima. Charged with supporting the crew through the pressures of deep-space service, he serves as a steady presence amid the challenges of exploration and duty. Balancing the expectations of his noble heritage with the pragmatic demands of Starfleet, Lioren quietly fosters a culture of trust and resilience aboard the ship. |
