Lieutenant Commander Nilani Prax, born Nilani Jorran, is a joined Trill, and the seventh host of the Prax symbiont from 2385 to the present day. She is a Federation Starfleet science officer serving aboard Starbase 332 under the command of Rear Admiral Alexander Gunning.

Before being joined with the Prax symbiont, Nilani was a very reserved individual, preferring to spend her time studying and working so hard to prove herself first in Starfleet, and second to the Symbiosis Commission. Since joining with the Prax symbiont however, Nilani has become much more confident with herself, and is very out-going.

Nilani is very driven with her objectives, and often tends to think outside of the box. Drawing on the experience of her prior hosts, she has the ability to be helpful in solving most problems, regardless of the subject area.

However, as Nilani is a fairly recent host, she has not yet gone through zhian'tara, and occasionally struggles to accept that she has the memories and experiences of six other people inside her.

Early Life and Career

Nilani Jorran was a late bloomer as far as beauty is concerned. Flat chested and freckled until her late teens, she had never been a popular choice for the boys around her. This, coupled with her overwhelming desire to become joined, led to her attitude to life; she would often keep to herself, preferring to study or find other ways of bettering herself until the day where she could apply to the Symbiosis Commission.

During her school years, Nilani became intensely interested with Science, and the reasons behind why and how things worked the way they did. When she joined Starfleet Academy at the age of 18 in 2378, she focused in Exobiology, Exoarchaeology, Astrophysics and Molecular Biology, gaining degrees in each field. Upon graduation, she applied to the Symbiosis Commission, but served aboard the USS Victory as a junior science officer whilst she waited to hear back from them. Two years after her commissioning, in 2384, she began training with the Commission as an initiate, to prepare her to receive a symbiont with all its memories and experiences.

After their joining in 2385, Nilani Prax did away with the shy, reserved nature of her life before joining, the experiences of the previous six hosts bouying her up, and giving her a new self confidence. Becoming socially outgoing, she explained her desires immediately after joining as wanting to grab life by the horns and run with it.

As soon as she was deemed healthy, Nilani returned to Starfleet for reassignment.

Personal Interests

Nilani's ambition since childhood was to become a host for a Trill symbiont. Now that her childhood ambition has been achieved, however, Nilani doesn't quite know where she wants to go in life - in truth, she still doesn't always know whether her wants and desires are her own, or a previous host's.

Nilani has picked up playing the saxophone from a previous host, Torin, who became a fan of the instrument whilst hiding on Earth. She also enjoys painting and Japanese martial arts, and can often be found in a holodeck simulation with either of these activities when one is available.
