This is a weekly meme created by Dani @ Perspective of a Writer, to show off favourite characters. Be sure to check out their blog! This week’s topic is …  a truly unique character (No prompt will ever fit this character because they are so creative, different or rare!)

I have two 😄

Saru, a Kelpien in Starfleet

Kelpiens are a prey species. They have hooved feet, and tend to be tall and gangly, with long limbs. They have the ability to sense danger and death, a gift evolved from being a prey species. When they sense danger, threat ganglia located along the back from the head will come out. In the Mirror Universe, Kelpiens are still a prey species. Despite this, Kelpiens are considerably stronger than humans, and even Vulcans. They can also run quite fast, and exhibit greater endurance. All of this makes most Kelpiens very cautious, and wary of outsiders. Saru bucks that typical behaviour. Not only does he mingle with outsiders, but he is in Starfleet, and is exposed to danger on a regular basis. He truly is one of a kind.

Razer, a genetically created chimera

The Indoraptor was created using Veliciraptor DNA and Indominus Rex DNA. Seeing as the Indominus also has raptor DNA, this means the Indoraptor is incredibly intelligent. It also means that this chimera is quite vicious, a gift of both parent species. But it was the Indominus, herself a lab-created chimera, that had a streak of vicious cruelty, and a propensity for killing for the sake of killing. Razer was intended to be a prototype, and the second iteration was to be imprinted with Blue, a raptor that displayed emathy, unlike her pack mates. The Indoraptors were intended to be a living military weapon. Since Wu escaped, we may see Indos in the next Jurassic World movie.
