Matne-sireva

Matne is a walking weapon. Its sole purpose in its squadron is as a living psychic battery, both for reconnaissance and attack. The precision of its movements translates into its demeanor, as it is so powerful a psychic that it could actually hurt someone by accident if it let its mind wander. It is relaxed among its own kind, who are all natural psionics and so in little danger, but among the common species of Star City Matne has to act with care and is always very conscious of itself. This leaves it rather on the antisocial side, since it just doesn't have the attention to spare for socialization with non-psionics. This is also why it remains a grunt officer and has turned down several promotions, even after surviving the xenodragon infestation, in which it was a lethal participant.

In the aftermath of the infestation, Matne continues its duties with an intensity and dedication to duty that few have seen. It is, in fact, furious at the panicked reactions of the common people and has withdrawn even further into itself, only allowing that fury out on the few remaining invaders that it can find. It sees what a potential outcome of this panic is... and it doesn't like it in the slightest. With fear given free reign, how many other species will be banned from the station as 'potential threats' in a 'preemptive strike'? How soon before Star City returns to a totalitarian state?

Middling in size for a sotiel, Matne is a more brightly-colored individual. Its skin and carapace are traffic-light red and the blues of its eyes are deep and rich. Like any sotiel it is thin and wiry, though it has the steady, measured way of moving usually reserved for large creatures.
