She has short dark hair cut about ear length and normally has it tied back
with a bandana. On an average day, she can be found wearing a black tank top
and baggy camouflage pants covered from hip to ankle in pockets in addition
to having a tool belt of some kind hanging around her waist and a personal
comm unit hooked around her ear.

Character Personality:

Generally relaxed and somewhat slow to anger. Kaia has been seen to exhibit
a wide variety of behavior in stressfull situations ranging from grim
irascibility to stoic determination to aloofness. Expresses mild
agoraphobia and, though not anti-social, seems to take an extraordinary
amount of time to form relations closer than basic acquaintances. Her
professionalism is unquestionable, however, and in the past has even treated
her coworkers better than her friends. Often puts her sense of
responsibility above that of her well-being or, even more, the well being of
others. She isn't big on rules and regulations, but is a stickler for
competency; anything goes so long as it works.

Takes to technology like a fish to water, though this is more in the repair
and modification aspect than the operative aspect. This is most prominent
in the area of spacecraft. While she illustrates comprehension of ships'
systems, she is incredibly uncouth in the cockpit and shows a great degree
of discomfort when she is piloting a spacecraft manually (as do any
passengers she may be transporting).

In stark contrast to the relatively mellow lifestyle of a xenoarchaeologist,
with a few exceptions, her hobbies tend to range from violent to
ultra-violent. Her holosuite program collection includes a wide range of
combat simulations and historic battles, ancient, modern, and fictional.
While being more than competent with small arms and hand to hand, her
abilities with long arms is somewhat sub par and to put it nicely, her skill
in armed melee is simply attrocious. Still, this fact does not prevent her
from partaking in (and normally losing at) numerous historic battle sims
every month.

The exceptions to the rule are gymnastics and chess. She regulary runs
through gymnastics routines to maintain strength, flexibility, and
cardio-aerobic health. She is often in possession of an e-ponent single
player holographic chess game, though she has yet to ever actually be seen
playing it.

Archaeological specialties of study include the Iconian and T'Kon empires.
Though despite her knowledge of her specific areas of study, her awareness
of recent and current events (including such things such as the Dominion War
and the Borg) appears to be severely limited

Public Record:

There are no records of Kaia nor her whereabouts prior to 2380; no known
family.

First recorded appearance of Kaia was at the ithaca class STARBASE 11
in mid 2380. She arrived at the starbase in possession of the personal
shuttlecraft of one Dr. Taravin. She had documentation of the transfer of
the deed and title to the Xenogy Survey Services company along with all
associates materials from Taravin to her name. Dr. Taravin himself has not
been seen since that time. Though it took time for the new management to get XSS off the ground, Kaia
met a benefactor, an El Aurian by the name of Haldamir, who helped her get
things running. The two jointly operated XSS and took part in a number of
discoveries in the local region. Publications regarding the results of
those surveys are still pending. Unfortunately, in late 2380 a terrorist
attack on the station and the obliteration of a nearby colony resulting in
the deaths of hundreds of civilians prompted the relocation and
redistribution of company resources.

The next record of Kaia comes from crew accounts from the Akira classUSS
NAGASAKI indicating that she was involved in a crew transfer from the
USS CERBERUS, which had gone missing.

Customs records show that Kaia stopped for a brief refit at STARBASE
PROTECTOR in early 2381, but did not stay for very long.

The latest office of XSS was opened on Stardock OBSIDIAN COMMAND
later that year. Within a week of her arrival, Sedran political activists
destroyed 20% of the station resulting in a multitude of casualties. The
resulting political mayhem, structural retooling, and security
investigation, as well as the decommisioning of the starbase, prompted Kaia
to arrange for the XSS office to be relocated to the Celestial class DEEP
SPACE FIVE.
