Is there something you want to avoid? La'an's backstory is filled with things that might be uncomfortable for some players, but much can be avoided in great detail or altogether if you give me a heads up. If there's something you would like for me to avoid discussing in our IC interactions, just drop me a PM to let me know!

torture, murder, parasitic hosts — When La'an was a child, her colony ship was captured by the Gorn, a lizard-like alien species that can be considered Star Trek's version of the Xenomorph. They were taken to a Gorn nursery planet to serve as food and breeding hosts for the hatchlings (who, like Xenomorphs, incubate within living hosts).
death of family, death of children, survivor's guilt, ptsd — La'an lost both of her parents and older brother, Manu, to the Gorn. Manu sacrificed himself so she could have a chance at survival, and she regularly struggles with grief and survivor's guilt. She only recently began speaking with a Starfleet counselor to help deal with her PTSD.
genocide, discrimination — La'an is the descendant of Khan Noonien Singh, a genetically augmented dictator whose rule resulted in the deaths of 30 million people on Earth. His actions eventually led to the founding of the United Federation of Planets, which has outlawed genetic manipulation among its membership. Additionally, no one with genetic augmentations is permitted to serve in Starfleet.
hate speech, bullying — Due to her heritage, La'an was frequently bullied as a child, being called things like "monster" and "augment" by the other children.
