Description
I've re-entered Salen into 's OC character contest.Salen's partner, Razor:
Salen Comic:
Salen short story: [link]
This is Salen (aka: 'Dingo') from my novel set Star Trek: Extinction [link] , Star Trek: Treason (where Salen makes his debut) [link] , and Star Trek: Black Diamond Dogs (Salen's own novel) [link] .
Bio: Salen’s parents were scientists who worked off world, the family was on Geti-9 when Vulcan was destroyed. When Salen was 13, shortly after the loss of their homeworld, his father decided to move his family to the new Vulcan settlement. Unfortunately they hired the wrong men to give them passage, Salen’s parents were slaughtered and Salen himself became a prisoner to be continuously cut for his blood. In the years since Vulcan’s destruction Vulcan blood has found a new high value on the black market as an aphrodisiac (a common fate for endangered species). Held captive for three years he gained the scars he still wears, even his hair turned ivory from the ordeal. When his captors were slaughtered by rivals Salen feared he would die of starvation trapped in his basement prison, however rescued by local police he was then quickly handed over to Starfleet. Lost, alone, no home, and no family Salen was temporarily placed with Admiral Christopher Pike...who quickly adopted the shy young teenager.
Current Assignment: Salen caught the attention of some very powerful men in Starfleet and was ‘invited’ to be in a team known as the Black Diamond Dogs, Starfleet’s elite black operations. The Black Diamond Dogs use the kind of force that normal Starships are prohibited from using to removed Federation and Starfleet threats. Salen and his teammate Razor run missions from rescuing the kidnapped to destroying drug running rings.
The medal around his neck is Admiral Pike's insignia.
Here's a larger version of the painting of Salen:

I suck at typing up bios, but she's one of my deviations. I had made her up and then i found Salen on here and I was like OMQ so alike in a way... Then I uploaded her bio not to long ago. (To bad I cannot draw her right, TT_TT)
Her name's Safefta Pardek, not related to *that* Pardek... (S names... Gotta love em)
She's my romulan/Vulcan OC. She was born on Romulus, but Romulans can't stand half-breeds, so she was pretty badly abused for that, and then of course when she was sixteen the Tal Shiar got her, convinced she was a Vulcan spy. They tried everything to get information that she didn't know out of her, using everything from high tech stuff (Hence her damaged mind) To cruder methods (Hence her... *legasp* hundreds of scars... That's what made me see the similarities there...). After a whole fracking year, They were going to eventually just kill her, she was almost broken and they hadn't gotten anything, but she escaped... Somehow... (I just say her memory was affected by the brain damage, because I'm still finishing that part of her bio) Long story short, one she got out of the Tal Shiar's grip, she bribed a Ferengi trader (Cause you can bribe them to do jus' about anything. ) and got dropped off on some remote starbase.
You can imagine how hard it is for her to interact with people at all, when she thought of joining starfleet, she was almost too scared of the people there to try. She eventually did, and She's slowly getting used to the idea of being around people. She hides her scars as best she can, but the ones on her neck and her hands (GAH SALEN SIMILARITY AGAIN) are pretty difficult. her right hand's pretty screwed up, though. (I put huge fracking amount of time into reaserching the effects of trauma on young people so I could use her as a chracter effectivly. Gosh I hope it was worth it. )
Ahh, that's her miniature breakdown of her story... See why I thought OMQ Safefta! When i saw Salen? Her hair isn't white though, it's just booring old black.

Sounds to me like they've lived very different lives even if some of the consequences are the same.
Looks like you put a lot of work into her! awesome!

VoidSauce In reply to Phoenix-Cry [2012-11-19 15:40:41 +0000 UTC]
Indeed, they led very different lives... But is was being Vulcan (Or half-Vulcan in Safefta's case) that was the main problem for them. (Although Safefta's Romulan half became a problem interacting with humans... Vulcan's don't like her much because she's erratic. ) Ahhh, Salen is so awesome, but his story kinda makes me cry.
Safefta's the kind of person that if put into a crowded room of people would find SOME way to be alone and not noticed.

Salen's past may be sad, but now he has an adoptive father, a wife, and a partner who all love him!
Vulcans can be such snobs about anything that's 'different'.

Vulcans... >_>
I am really happy for how Salen's life turned out in the end! Safefta's still... Looking for someone who cares.

Hot I love his pose, and the kind of "come hither" look he's got in the picture. I am also very fond of how you drew his eyes and hair.
But aside from his physical appearance (which is gorgeous XD) you have a very interesting character here. His background story sounds believable, and his personality is intriguing. I like the idea of a less-stoic than usual Vulcan ^^

Thanks! He is a sweetie. He's very much not your typical stoic Vulcan...in fact he's not even all that fond of Vulcans.

...That's hysterical. You choose a pin up to be a reference sheet. Is Salen even aware of this? I don't think he would be too happy That said, it's good. Nice job, as per usual...

Ah. What, did you say that the only way he was going to live through his syndrome was if he agreed to be drawn in this position? Because that's not just blackmail it's downright evil to your OC.
I like it.

I'm down right evil to him. And if you look close you'll see that he is blushing, so he's not exactly showing off.

GothicCheshire In reply to Phoenix-Cry [2010-06-13 22:28:24 +0000 UTC]
...Just because someone is blushing does not mean they are not showing off. But yes...I suppose he is definitely showing off under his own motivation to do so. But what else can you call it?
You've stuck him at deaths door, 'course you're evil to him.
