Arbiter Soma, an alien lifeforms from the Sol System. Details about his race and origins are hotly debated within the UNS. As a Xenolinguist, he is skilled in communicating with alien species and lifeforms, somehow being able to translate the sounds and vibrations of their speech to something he can understand and persuade them. He values his identity as gay, within his life onboard The Pioneer, within his species and amongst his friends. His Xenodruidic abilities give him the ability to partly control plant-life. Upbeat, friendly, calm and deeply intelligent.
