Cuyan(Koo-yahn) Emery McCoy

Cuyan Emery McCoy, is the fifth of Saviin Tor and Runi’s McCoy, children, all were born via surrogate mothers (who have requested no contact with the children they gave birth to unless there’s a medical issue that requires their intervention).

Her siblings include, Amara Tor, Casspian McCoy, Walon Tor, Micha McCoy, they grew up in Killarney Ireland and spent family vacations checking out various places on Earth(Terra), Mars colony, Jupiter station and numerous other places giving the children a wide range of interaction.

After completing general schooling Cuyan applied to Star Fleet academy, she majored in security and intelligence. Her training ship was the USS Tolkien she spent ten weeks as the ships mascot dubbed Blaze for her vivid red fur, though some of the crew called her Nova when the command staff were not in ear shot. The rest of her training she worked with both security and intelligence. After graduation Cuyan was assigned to the USS Palidan as security investigations officer.

Her next assignment was to the USS Journeyman as Intelligence Infiltration specialist, while her sass and cheek could throw folks off, her willingness to make sure the job was done right and that absolutely no-one was left behind were the reasons she was promoted though she often complained about the amount of paperwork. (Any reports would often be submitted in numerous languages with a skip to the Federation basic copy, her revenge back at those that promoted her).

Her recent most assignment is to the Wolverine as a security officer, she still keeps up her skills for infiltration and extraction as well as practicing her security investigation skills.

Hobbies: Parkour, martial arts (student of many master of none), gymnastics, ball room dancing, role playing games (Starfinder, Pathfinder, Critial Role, DnD etc), ((Private hobby crocheting she’s not great at it but she enjoys it. She also greatly enjoys painting with oil paint like “Bob Ross” has a holodeck program specially for that)).

Quirks: Adores Chocolate Peppermint, Cooking specialty being pastries, playing with dice when writing reports (she will roll different dice to decide which languages to write the report in to annoy the higher ups, (she always includes a skip to the Federations basic copy.)

*** Not currently known to all but the Captain and those he/she/they deem necessary to know, also folks that are Long lived Race or significantly older, wishing to have had previous encounters with an Isisean in the past feel free to contact me and we’ll discuss what traits you would notice, recognize when meeting another Isisean.

Race: Isisean, original race designated Omegan. (See https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Isis .)

Unlike Earth Humanoids, Isiseans are able to manipulate their cell structure so that they can take on feline appearance. This process of cellular metamorphosis it taught to the young at an early age as early as two to four months old, while most species are crawling.

Almost all master it before reaching their teens. Isiseans who do not train as children are less likely to develop their abilities later due to physiological changes between children and adults.

It is not clear how Isisean or Omegan came to have this ability as much of their history was lost when the Isiseans splintered off from the Omegans.

It is believed that long ago both races originated from a felidae ancestry and later evolved humanoid features. Socially conjecture has resulted in this being a hot topic with many debating which is their natural form, Cat or Humanoid. However the majority of the population commonly adopt a humanoid form during their daily lives, possibly to better enable interacting with other humanoids.

The ability to change comes at an early age and is not dissimilar to puberty in Humans. Those who do not train as children are less likely to succeed in developing the ability later in life.

Originally Omegan but split off from the main group as they did not agree with the main group’s goals, that being the defeat of Earth and removal of Starfleet and the Federation.

Theses ex-Omegans traveled far and wide dropping off in small groups on various human settlements before a larger group settled in after finding a new home deep in the far reaches of the Beta quadrant. They started calling themselves Isiseans, and left it at that. These people are in general of medium build and are varying in skin tone and color as any regular human. Their eyes are sometimes dual colored (heterochromia iridium) though more often than not they have eyes the same color like most humans. Usually only Isisean with parents having heterochromia iridium will get it as well but it usually skips generations. What makes these folks different from humans is very slight differences, very slightly smaller hearts, larger lung capacity.

Telepathic neural pathways in their brains. They are naturally telepathic with each other and can hear thoughts of others with in these restrictions. Either within visual sight of the person whose thoughts they are meant to hear, have a connection of emotional sort from concern to love even hate if the person is considered an enemy. Otherwise they would not hear the thoughts unless there was extreme volume in the thought. Most are bright light sensitive. Their hearing is almost as good as a Vulcans. Their sense of smell is very strong and often leading to allergic responses to various pollens, pollution, and the like.

In general most Isisean are playful curious folks that want to enjoy life, living. Intelligent and often capable of interesting creations but they don’t often keep with their inventions. Some having tired of the rather tame existence, began traveling again some choosing to smuggle aboard star ships after riding in on various freighters to starbases.

Being a ship’s cat having adventures with being able to come and go coming and go as they please.

That is what sets the Isiseans apart the most, the ability to go from human to cat and back again. The risks are strong though, any injuries that are gained in one form remain when returning to the other. Lose any eye as a cat, it is lost when returning to human form.

The few Isiseans that have left their homes over the years come back sharing tales and traveling stories. Some do not return having either died in a glorious misadventure or just choosing a new life elsewhere.

Some Isiseans have recently begun quiet petitions to join the Federation, offering their small size adventurous natures along with a generous amounts of miszinite ore among others that they’d uncovered in previous years and have too little uses for. Currently only three have officially gone through Starfleet Academy, the others that have joined ships five to date have remained as civilian additions (mascots with CO knowledge of who and what they are along with those the CO trusts to know).

Additional notes; all is based off of Star Trek: The Original Series episode, Assignment Earth - with Gary Seven and his feline companion Isis. With information taken from the original script, comic books, books/novels, and a lot of guesswork. ***
