The SITH of Eden: Quay
Quay is an offspring of Adam and Eve. To the casual observer, he appears to be a normal human, but he is deceptively strong and agile. He's artistic with a superhuman intelligence and athletic ability. Despite his above-average attributes, his Siblings categorize him as a maskun, since he seems to be deaf to their mindcalls.
Excerpt from The Veil of Eden
"Please have a seat," [Ousia] invites as she rounds her desk. She checks her messages without even making eye contact with Agent Ornoc Tellandor or his (and President Smith's) new buddy-recruit. Ornoc returns to his seat with the precision of shouldering a rifle. Ousia cannot help but notice with a bit of hidden pride the way Ornoc sits at attention in her presence. After a few moments of ensuring that there is no crisis in need of her immediate attention, Agent Gathia turns her attention first to Ornoc then to Quay. Ousia is relieved to see attentiveness on Quay's face rather than impatience or ennui. Quay's features aren't the latest in vogue with current holo-stars. Nonetheless, they are the type of handsome well-defined features to which Ousia is attracted. His somewhat wavy hair is 5 different natural colors with an overall chestnut tone. His eyes are an explosion of blues, greys, greens and a touch of orange flecks. The detail is as intricate as.
Ousia shakes her head. She has to snap out of it.
"Ma'am?" Ornoc inquires.
"Yes?" Ousia startles.
"Are you OK?"
Ousia suddenly feels a slight flush. "Yes, thank-you Agent Tellandor. I've just had my workload increased exponentially," she sighs. "Anyways, where are my manners. I am Agent Ousia Gathia." Ousia rises and offers a hand across her desk.
"Quay Sith," Quay rises to take her hand. "It's an honor to make your acquaintance." He accepts her hand with a warm shake as if meeting a new friend. This is a relief for Ousia as it reminds her of home. Trust is important to this man - she can feel it.
