Uthka Varzeekh
Servant and Cassandra’s Conundrum
TRAVELLER5 ver.
Uthka Varzeekh was born in 1056 on Ngoerrgh (Gvurrdon 1216) E42065A-7 De He Na Ni Po a pre-stellar, desert, hellworld that challenged the survival skills of its people. Though the desert wastes were punishing to the original colonists of Uthka’s world, they managed early spaceflight long enough to reconnect with the visiting interstellar community. Ngoerrgh was annexed, almost as an afterthought due to proximity, into the Dzen Aeng Kho or Society of Equals. She is a female, Gvegh Vargr of timber wolf coloration of gray and white pelt. Her eyes were born blue and faded to a pale gray through her years. She reads, writes and speaks with a thick desert accent the regional and racial language Gvegh. Her Personal Day is 24 hours. Before her education, her UWP was 5949A5 and was later tested for a CP of A.
Her childhood was wracked by sexist marginalization, with females relegated to the household, cubs rearing and other family and pack needs. She was denied ED5 schooling but was already rated beyond what grade school for males could offer. However, after her eighteenth birthday, Uthka broke tradition of the sands and enrolled in the reclusive Ngoerrgh Institute of Thought and soundly aced the entrance. She Majored in Psioncology after her teenage years of overhearing the female folk prattle and gossip about mystical topics, (psionics). Added to her Major was the Minor in Sophontology. Uthka wanted to understand the mortal plight of all sophonts – the sophont condition.
At age 19 and having graduated from trade school, Uthka Varzeekh was faced with pressure from the interstellar polity to consider taking the Equality Test. Seeing that those who failed the Test had their canines, an empire symbol of strength and endurance, removed and often forcibly, mercilessly and sometimes without anesthetics. Those failures were the Inequals. At the sight of a toothless Inequal for the first time, Uthka resigned herself to protest the Equality Test by choosing the life of an Unequal. By law, Unequals were required to wear the muzzle and waist belts of the Unequal, symbols of their shame and passive-aggressive protest against the Equality Test. At only nineteen years of age, Uthka closed the doors to many careers she could have placed in easily. But first to come was higher education which she could not be denied by law and her Unequal status.
The only educational center on Uthka’s homeworld that openly educated Unequals took her in. The Grey Institute eagerly took her in after seeing her break with sexist tradition and her marks in trade school. There, she continued her Major in Psioncology and the Minor in Sophontology. Here was a future Scholar in the deans’ eyes. Uthka spent eight years earning a PhD with Honors in her field. Not one to skimp on the application of her knowledge, Uthka Varzeekh took her doctorate to the Law Department of the same university and was accepted despite protests from public outcry outside The Grey Institute. Uthka passed the planetary bar and added Attorney to her resume. With the doctorate and law applications under her belt and ready to take up activism against un-equality, Uthka received a strange invitation from a distant world, outside the Society of Equals, to Spinward in the Thirz Empire. Her Major and her interest in the sophont condition had not been missed by those watching for key words and stories of her choices. Uthka’s resume had reached the Zhodani and Thirz ears of the Sibiatl mobile Psionic Institute. On the remainder of her scholarship and passage paid by Sibiatl, Uthka was inducted into the world of Psionics after she tested in the upper echelon of Vargr Psionic Strength Index.
