Atypical members of various species

[Six of Twelve]

Can you name people who were not typical members of their species?

I'll start off.

ferengi - Rom, Nog

Klingon - K'Ehleyr, Alexander

Vulcan- Sybok

Cardassian - Natima Lang

Let's hear some others

 

[JirinPanthosa]

The Ferengi in Suspicions, the Klingon in Suspicions, the hitman in Magnificent Ferengi.

Vulcan - All from DS9. A serial killer, a Maquis operative and a guy who thinks it's logical to use baseball to prove Vulcans are better than humans.

 

[Tracy Trek]

Cardassians: I can't remember their names, but the 2 women who were scientists who came to the station to help set up a way to communicate with the other side of the wormhole. They didn't seem bad. Although one of them thought O'Brian was wanting to mate with her. Now the other woman that was with them was a typical Cardassian, I think she was a member of the Obsidian Order.

Romulans: Dr. R'Mor from Eye of the Needle.

 

[The Wormhole]

How can we determine who atypical Cardassians are? Cardassians are one race in Trek where there actually is a variety of different ones with different personalities, that I'm not even sure who qualifies as a typical Cardassian let alone an atypical one.

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

Romulans -- The Romulan Commander ("Balance of Terror"), N'Vek, Donatra

 

[Mojochi]

Odo

And maybe Tolian Soran. He seemed fairly atypical for an El-Aurian. Never listened to anybody

 

[F. King Daniel]

T'Pol, although literally all of it stems from her being around humans longer than any other Vulcan had at that time.

There was a mellow Tellarite who kidnapped Archer in season 2 of Enterprise.

Oh, and all those V'tosh Something something Vulcans also from ENT.

 

[Tosk]

Klingon - K'Ehleyr, Alexander

And Worf.

Agree to this. On top of that, we tend to see those that end up in their military or in the secret services. These might be heavily 'preselected' on certain traits -- who knows what the average Cardassian is really like ?

For that matter, relatively speaking, we don't even get to see too many humans up close that aren't Starfleet.

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I feel like there are almost as many 'atypical' Ferengi as there are typical ones. In addition to Rom, Nog and Leck (the Hitman), you also have Ishka, Pel (the woman who wanted to run away with Quark), Bok (the Daimon who was obsessed with Picard), Grand Nagus Zek (who throws away all his traditions to get with Ishka, turning Ferenginar into a socialist paradise in the process), all the other militaristic Ferengi from TNG, Mirror Universe Brunt (if MU counts), Reyga (Ferengi scientist from 'suspicions'), and all the Ferengi waiters in Quark's bar who joined a union.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Does that mean any human who betrays Roddenberry's vision of future humanity should be considered atypical (like anyone who mourns, or otherwise reacts to, death)?

I'm not really concerned with who should be considered atypical or typical.... Picard mourns for his nephew that perished in the fire.

All I'm saying is that even for the species we get to see the most by far, we don't get to see that much outside Starfleet, so who knows for certain what the 'average' human is really like in the star trek universe ?

 

[soornge]

one
Q : john delancie Q
Spock
Data
nog
kahn
spock two
seven of nine (although becomes typical at least with the addition of all the other children)
charlie x (maybe)
the klingon who defends archer in court
odo

Perhaps the Marquis break the human mould a bit. Or perhaps Worf's foster brother (forgot the name) who went out of his way the break the prime directive to settle down with a family of a pre-warp race.

 

[UnknownSample]

Beverly's friend the Ferengi researcher. The Borg Queen. The rebellious Changeling trying to convert Odo into being a malcontent.

@Gary 11's ,Worf's brother's name was Nikolai Rozchenko (not sure about the spelling). I've wondered, with him being an anthropologist. If he went back to Federation society, would be shunned by his peers in the scientific community? For getting involved with the people he was observing.

Don't see why he would. The Prime Directive only applies to Starfleet, not civilians. If anything, Nikolai's colleagues would probably be congratulating him for saving the lives of countless innocent that Starfleet's finest were perfectly okay with allowing to die.
