 This is Jadan of Traken, and her pet Floating Jerzai, Bobble. They are from Traken in 10038 BC. Jadan is a quarter Sea Trakenite (the Sea Trakenites are Mithis' people) and basically she is the Amy Pond of Traken. I originally made her in 2015-2016ish as a Twelfth Doctor Companion, to be the Companion after Clara, before we knew of Bill. |

Nice looking character.
And you wrote her background for her.

Yup it’s a more Trakenized version of the og background I wrote for her. She was ALWAYS meant to be a Trakenite, but initially it showed more of “vaguely asian looking humanlike alien”. Bobble is actually from Kembel. |

Trakenites are humanoid, so it does work.

Trakenites are humanoid, so it does work. They’re supposed to look human (just they don’t have moles and have an higher frequency of lighter hair/eyes, but that’s more a JNT hair color differentiation thing.) I just decided that the phenotypes are different than they are in humans. To account for a different evolutionary pattern, I made up the Sea Trakenites. Mithis is one, Jadan a grandchild to one. 👐 Basically, Trakenites aren’t descended from Australopithecus types. Their evolutionary tree is a bit different. But it has a similiar division between plants, “mushrooms”, and animals, but in a slightly different way. Trakenite mushrooms are a little more planty than Earth’s, but in a slightly different way than Earth mushrooms. A more usual way of ranking them is the Zkaath. Beyond that, the divisions are completely different. And don’t map completely to Earth taxonomic Rank. You don’t have a phylum or a genus, you have a Sycophat or a Okhadi. The Sycophat’s õf Traken are: Plants are divided in: Leaf bush, flower + fruit bush, leaf tree, flower + fruit tree, grass & flowers, other. Animals are divided in: Creepy bottom of the water stuff, vaguely birdy flying stuff, monstrous land stuff, vaguely amphibious medium-sized stuff, cute critter stuff. Zkaath are divided in: more musk/barnacle/moss-like stuff, more planty stuff, more spongey/coral stuff, more mushroomy stuff. the Okhadis of Traken are: in the “amphibious medium-sized stuff” it is further divided into those Okhadis: Tentacley stuff Mini mer-things Stuff somewhere between being an amphibian and reptile on earth And to justify the idea “Nyssa, Tegan, and Adric have a baby together that Nyssa creates in a test tube and initially it comes in a melty tentacley blob and Nyssa has to put the baby in an humanlike artificial skin” - the Trakenites actually come from the tentacley stuff and are divided in land and sea trakenites, but watch me suddenly also invent the Sky Trakenites And it comes down into something completely else. blobble being from kembel is from yet another evolutionary tree which doesn’t have humanlike stages and which is categorized with other names. |

Jadan could be from another part of Traken, or even another world of the Union. We saw very little of Traken on the show.

Jadan could be from another part of Traken, or even another world of the Union. We saw very little of Traken on the show. Jadan is from the far past, when the Traken Union was much smaller. Also, in my mind the Traken Union does'nt really annex other inhabited solar systems. Maybe one or two which it helped raise to civilization, but not many. Everyone who saw seems to be from the same species, but it's possible that "Sea Trakenite" is a nickname from a completely different species from planet... Seaken. Or well, they would'nt use English words. It would propably have their own name. Eshral? And they could be the Eshrals\Eshralites\Sea Trakenites. Actually, Seaken could still be the translation in Earth languages, so let's go to it. Mithis is a Seaken\Seakenite also known as a Sea Trakenite. And one of Jadan's parents is a rare genetically engineered hybrid. Actually, maybe Jadan herself is a product of genetic engineering. It is mostly Traken's solar system and a few nearby previously-uninhabited solar systems, plus a far away solar system, closer to Earth's solar system, which is Serenity's solar system. And humans end up living on Serenity too - and interbreed with the previously-existing Trakenite population. Basically my wiew of how everything is related is'nt yet completely fixed, in fact it's possible the Traken Union might just be the one solar system. An unified solar system could also be referred to as an Union. So it might just be the three planets around Mettula Orionsis plus Serenity and another far away colony or two, or it might be the whole galaxy. Which makes sense as I believe in an unified galaxy with planets as the equivalents of cities. In the episode I wrote, I've made her from Traken itself, but while KoT is set in the Capital of Traken, the episode I wrote is set somewhat far away in what is supposed to be the same planet but much further into the past. I'm not sure if Traken is bigger or smaller than Earth. But I like to think that Jadan's home and the city of Smaribril are both, roughly southeast of the Capital. Which might actually not have been built yet, it might have become the Capital because it was Shayla's home. So, relative to the size of Traken, I think it's like if KoT was set in London and my episode in Qonaev, Kazakhstan. |

Me neither.
I think it was more like Star Trek's United Federation Of Planets.
