I’m A Day Late But Here’s The First Prompt For @hereticaster ‘s Trektober!!!

Inktober prompt 3: boots 🥾

Lieutenant commander Kendi Bofane Teki 

Kendi Bofane Teki was a Bantu man, born in the African Confederation in the Congo region. At first, he trained in the armed forces there, and won several marksmanship competitions, before being offered a post and recruited in Starfleet.  

At the Academy, he served as a wilderness survival instructor and combat instructor, and was known there as the quiet teacher who would reveal that he knew many old folks tales and legends around the campfire during the final nights of survival camping. After that, he took an assignment in the U.S.S Korolev for 3 years, climbing the ranks of the security department. At 37 years old, he was given the choice to be a department head on a deep space mission or working at the Academy to reform the training of security crews, and chose to become Head of Security on the U.S.S. Eridani.

SOPEK AND MALACHI FANART ON MY FEED IM GONNA FREAKKK ITS SO PERFECT OH MY GOD

Absolutely YES Sopek would so so show up in Malachi’s office and bother him but not at all consider it to be therapy and the DETAILSS this drawing has im so in love

Made another drawing involving the Eridani Crew… I have been looking at their bios one by one and in Dr. Cohen’s I saw the fact that Saavik and Sopek both refuse therapy and I can imagine Sopek finding time to talk to Malachi to try and understand human behaviors and Malachi being like “you do know that this is technically therapy” and Sopek being like “No, that’s not what this is” I think they would be good friends.

I love their designs and I love how Malachi’s Kippah matches his uniform

Ensign Terrance Riley, tactical department 

Son of Kevin and Niamh Riley, Terrance Riley was born in 2274 in San Francisco, but spent most of his summers in Donegal when he was growing up. As a teen and even a young adult, he was a bit embarrassed by his father’s big personality, but grew to be more accepting of his heritage and family. 

During his time at the Academy, he often was Sopek’s “human studies club” fact checker, not by will but rather due to the Vulcan’s insistence. A meek and mild mannered boy, he tended to be pushed around easily. Despite a certain annoyance with Sopek’s attitude, the Vulcan also defended him from bigger bullies in the optic of “conserving the club’s fact checker”, which created a certain respect between the two. His demeanor came in great part from growing up learning not to complain about things and not asking for help, as he has many siblings. His interactions with Sopek inadvertently taught him to stand up for himself. 

As a tactical officer, he was a very quick thinker, and easily came up with strategies on the spot. Captain Saavik often liked to hear his ideas in times of crisis. 

He became an ensign in the tactical department at 22 years old on the Eridani for the ship’s five year mission in 2296.
