(Someone - okay, it was Fitz - mentioned that you were aiming for a frontier-y, DS9 sort of feel for the setting. Hopefully, this concept will fit in!)
Name: Utuku-ven Sirivayar
Race: Skolean
Gender: Female
Age: 37 (Human equivalent: 37)
Career Path: Merchant Captain/'Free Trader'
Ship: S.S. Scarlet Lady
Physical Description: A fairly typical example of her species, by human standards Utuku is tall and somewhat heavyset, with a broad-shouldered, muscular build. Her charcoal-grey, scaled skin is smooth and dry. Her one functioning eye is a dully reflective silver, her hair snow-white, and her teeth sharp and triangular. A dark red tattoo extends across most of her face.
Personality: As her chosen path in life often requires her to deal with any number of dangerous individuals and organizations Utuku presents an easygoing, friendly front; she can even manage a sort of dry charm on a good day. Few of her expressions reach her eyes, however, and beneath her front she is cagey and cautious, usually preferring negotiation or evasion to confrontation. She's quite good at cultivating casual friendships, but generally avoids forming closer bonds outside of a few of her crew. Like many in her line of work, she doesn't do 'causes'; she gets involved in things because she's being paid to or, much more rarely, because of personal ties. The latter probably has a lot to do with her reluctance to form such ties in the first place.
Family: None living, as far as she knows (or will admit). Perhaps inevitably her crew tends to fill the role, although it appears to be the role of the exasperating sort of family she often laments being unable to get rid of.
Background: Captain Sirivayar and the Lady have been operating around the fringes of Federation space (and law) for the past six years. What information is available from before that time is mostly unverified rumour, but some can be considered reasonably reliable. It seems likely that she began her career as an agent of the Orion Syndicate and was likely forced to sever ties with that group during to its brutal reformation under Melani D'ian. It is also likely that she served as a privateer under the auspices of the KDF. She certainly has a wide-ranging network of contacts both among traders and among the underbelly of the galactic community, where her reputation seems to tend towards 'reliable but pricey'.

How much RP experience do you have and what other mmo/tabletop rpg's have you played?: Started roleplaying in the late twentieth century and never kicked the habit. Online, I've rp'd in CoX, TSW (briefly), Champions Online and STO.
What interested you in our Fleet and what are you hoping to get out of your time with us?, do you have any particular charter plots in mind for you captain that you'd like to share with us?: Fitz interested me by mentioning that he and a number of other familiar names from CO/TSW are involved herein. She's more likely to be a supporting character in other people's stories, at least at first - someone who might be able to get that rare widget needed to construct a frumigating whamistanz or cause a problem by offloading improperly fermented Nazadi grunge-leaves.
How much do you know about Trek? As much as a casual fan of my age, height and weight who undertakes irregular exercise might be expected to. That is to say, I've watched all the (live) series other than Enterprise.
Who is your favorite Starfleet Captain?: Mon capitaine, Jean-Luc Picard.
Trapped on a desolate planet with an angry Gorn and no weapons what would you do?: If it's a TOS Gorn, walking away at a moderate pace should suffice. If it's an STO Gorn... well, at least it'd be quick.
