Cmdr. Jowar Dasgupta's family
Mar. 5th, 2012 01:05 pmOkay, so, his wife's name is Yashawini, and his daughters are Manthika and Bhairavi. Manthika is eldest, Bhairavi was the one whose wedding Shallan attended. There may or may not be a son as well, but I'm not sure. I need to name bridegroom, I suppose, and then I can finally write the fic!
Which will possibly also involve chat about Glenn's tat, since Shallan will be doing a comparison with henna. *interested antennae*

character personality meme
Aug. 19th, 2011 04:25 pmMeme! Take the Myers-Briggs type test in-character.
I did it as Shallan, and got ESJF, or the Provider. (78% Extraverted? Sounds about right. XD)

May. 18th, 2011 05:38 pmThe part of my brain/heart that produced Shallan did a happy little flip into a pool of warm fuzzies over this.

Shallan is posing difficulties as usual
Feb. 22nd, 2011 04:33 pmI keep getting tempted to do one of those OC memes on dA to get some practice in drawing Shallan and her harem various associates, but I keep hitting the same stumbling block, which is that many of these memes want you to draw the character in whatever they'd be wearing for a particular activity/season/event, and for the most part, Shallan would be wearing her uniform. Because... she's in Starfleet.

Quark: And so the Andorian says, "Your brother? I thought it was your wife."
Morn: [leans back]
Quark: Get it? "Wife"?
[both laugh]
Quark: Had to think about that one, didn't you?

Andorians...! ( ._.)9
Oct. 14th, 2010 11:35 amSo I settled myself down to write a quartet of vignettes sort of showing the bondgroup accumulating people, in a first impression kind of way. I figured a page, page-and-a-half per section. Nothing huge.
SEVEN PAGES LATER, I am still on the first section. Apparently it doesn't want to be a vignette. It may, in fact, want to be a novella. ARGH.
Also, the first officer (as yet still unnamed, although my feeling is that it's a male human) is getting somewhat... prickly. Jealous. Antagonistic. He resents how the second officer, i.e. Glenn, became so chummy with the Captain after the new CMO (and herharem bondgroup) came on board, having been long time friends of Glenn's and swiftly becoming fast friends with the Captain. (Glenn and Shallan met at the academy! and remained close friends ever since, no matter where they were posted; he likes all her spouses, and they all like him.) I can kinda see his point, I guess, but I don't know what to do with him, except possibly have An Incident and then transfer him to a different ship.
Gnaarrrrgh, andorians! *tears at hair*
! And yes, there are stories I could tell about that/then.

Sep. 16th, 2010 09:40 pmOh...
I have just had a marvelous/terrible Idea.
My OC Andorians meet my OC Biker Mice.
*bites fingers and stares into infinity, struck by the possibilities*
Jammer and Sparkplug would bond with Sril instantly, and Shallan and Wheelspike would hate each other on sight. H'rov and Jammer would get lost in one another's wardrobe closets. Sparkplug and Jhæss would swap recipes. Everyone would have antennae.
Glenn: Never before has rescuing a distressed space vessel inspired this many people to drink.
LaiHon: *grimly breaks out the Very Bad Stuff*

Andorians (subtopic: SHALLAN'S HAIR)
May. 31st, 2010 07:17 pmSo, for reasons I have yet to really determine, sometime before she transferred to the Galaxy, Shallan cut her hair much shorter than she used to wear it. For the longest time, she wouldn't tell me what it looked like.
Then, one day, I was flipping through a magazine at work and this advertisement just jumped out at me -- Shallan! I mean, invert the colours, extend the forehead and add antennae, but I had found her 'do. Since there was a printing error in the issue that put a section of pages in their twice, including the ad, I carefully removed it and tucked it into my notebook.
As you may have noticed, I have consistantly failed to scan the page. XD However, today I found that same image in a cache of stock photos, so, I present to you a picture with which to imagine Shallan's hair when she's a CMO! The model is a brunette and Shallan has white hair (except that time she dyed it green), but you get the idea:

Kind of hilarious to imagine antennae in front of that, eh? XD

Shallan sighting on dA!
Apr. 8th, 2010 09:38 pmShallan has finally decided to join her spouses over on my deviantart account. Since she's still in her surgical scrubs, I guess we'll just have to assume that she was busy with work 'til now. ;3
Andorian resources
Feb. 23rd, 2010 09:29 pmBeing a collection of links to internet resources concerning that species.
Canon information on Andorians @ Memory Alpha, much of which is from the series Enterprise at this point.
Published non-canon information on Andorians @ Memory Beta, including the artical on fourfold Andorian sexes.
A blog that compiles information on (and particularly focuses on cataloguing appearences of Andorians: The Andor Files.
My personal favourite novels which include or describe Andorians, mostly published before TNG was created, some of which heavily contradict later canon, include: Memory Prime by Gar and Judith Reeves-Stevens, Deathcount by L.A. Graf, Dreams of the Raven by Carmen Carter, and, to a smaller degree, Bloodthirst by J.M. Dillard.
The only TNG novel I've read with an Andorian in it is The Eyes of the Beholders by A.C. Crispin, which I love. It doesn't support the 4-sex theory, which original appeared in post-DS9 fiction, and it offers a different background and future for Dr. Selar than what is found in the New Frontier novel series. I have yet to decide how much of this novel I plan to incorporate into my view of Andorians. Thala is adorable, though. ♥
And here's a little something by Leslie Fish, first published in a the fanzine Sehlat's Roar in the 70s, which I have no intention of using, really, but most poke to go WTF at: A Summary of the Physiological Roots of Andorian Culture.

Uniforms on the USS Galaxy
Feb. 10th, 2010 10:36 pmThe TNG first season uniforms -- seen here -- are what the Starfleet officers in my "Andorians" stories wear.
Skyleaper to-Ennien doesn't have a humanoid physiology -- he's a bipedal feline (McCoy described his species as "overgrown housecats"), with a tail and digitigrade hindlegs; he can, if he wants, run on all fours. Left to his own devices, Skyleaper goes about "nude", or with a simple apron if he needs pockets for something. On duty, that's unfortunately not permitted. His uniform is a variation on the Medical/Sciences blue male Skant (trouserless version). His customized version has a larger opening for the neck, coming down in a vee in front and a deeper one behind; it also has an opening for his tail in the back. He goes barefoot on-ship, but on away missions sometimes wears extremely customized "booties" over his paws.
LaiHon and Glenn both wear the standard duty uniforms ("unitard") in Command red, and Jhæss does the same in security gold. Shallan usually also wears the unitard, but occasionally decides to wear the Skant instead. (In the story "Combat Medic", though it's not said, this is what she's wearing. She also had longer hair then.)

Shallan--! ( ._.)9
Nov. 24th, 2009 07:52 amShallan is a cheating, frustrating bitch. In other news, water is wet.
*sigh* It drives me crazy that I can draw all her spouses, bu I can't draw her.
The major roadblock? She won't tell me what her hair looks like. 9_9
So this morning I drew her, finally... in that cowled red surgical outfit TNG docs wear. *facepalm of massive facepalmy doom*
On the other hand, her face is... prettier than expected. >_>
IN REVENGE for these shenanigans, I present to you:
15 things Shallan has said to patients
* "Don't worry, I know where all your organs are supposed to go. Ultimately."
* "I promise, you'll be good as new -- if not better!"
* "Sendarshallan sh'Zansh. Try saying that ten times fast when you're drunk."
* "Lieutenant, you are on record as having at least six personalities. I'm going to need informed consent from all of them..."
* "Don't worry, that's a perfectly normal response for his species."
* "The sedative should kick in very soon. Count backwards from ...three."
* "...Can you regurgitate at will?"
* "DON'T. MOVE."
* "And now both your arms are broken. Well done!"
* "-- so the Sulamid says to the Horta --"
* "We have to stop meeting this way, Ensign."
* "Say 'eeee'."
* "Yes, I suppose from that perspective, four sexes isn't nearly enough."
* "I'm going to pretend that's the bloodloss talking, Admiral, but if you ever say anything like that to me again, I will be very upset. Do we understand one another? Yes? Good."
* "Ooh! What's that?"

Oct. 23rd, 2009 01:45 pmThree out of four ain't bad? Shallan refuses to sit for so much as a sketch; apparently she's just too busy. And hates her hair, H'rov claims, but I think he's just trying to maneuver her into getting it styled the way he wants it...
Oh well, could be worse; Captain Mekh-nii won't even tell me what species he is!
Anyway, here are links to my latest posts on Deviantart:
Jhæss is a very thin, angular man. Maybe not quite so much as I've drawn him; oh well.
Sril won't shut up even for a picture. XD
H'rov wears dangly rose quartz earrings that match his eyes. Is that a smirk? That might be a smirk.
I'm not sure I made their foreheads high enough.
...Also, Sril has decided that "The Animal Song" by Savage Garden is one of the best things ever and is teaching her pets to sing along. And also H'rov, when he doesn't escape.
