I am not sure that anyone suggests they .. in their appearance .. would see Haruchai/Bloodguard .. looking
like Klingons .. but moreso have similar persona's .. I guess it is just a way of finding a similar solid .. yet quaintly dispassionate .. honour driven peoples to compare them to.
I dont see them
physically like Klingons .. more like a solid Maori/Polynesian breed of
men .. sundarkened .. built like a brick s***house ..
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
.. solid ..
but .. here comes the persona aspect .. absolutely honour driven!!
Prepared to defend that which they have committed themselves to with their very lives .. and without weapons!! .. because there is no honour in such a battle/fight!! Prepared to put all personal interests secondary to the mission/their service. Single minded and honour bound .. possessed of the most intriguing dispassion imaginable .. the Bloodguard.
So those of us familiar with similar characters compare this race as having the dispassion with which Vulcan's are known .. mixed with the solidity and valour of Klingon's .. but looking like
neither
.. just for a frame of reference .. but not really looking identical to either of them ...
.. I defintely wasn't raised on Capt Kirk ..
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
.. but I have seen an old episode of ST which had Klingons in it .. and .. they looked nothing like what I had become accustomed to in the later series!! ..ROFL .. they really looked funny!!
.. I guess in its day it was quite revolutionary .. but ..
<waits for the flamings to begin> I cant imagine people actually getting into the Capt Kirk generation of ST .. today. I think it is really a show you would have to be raised with to enjoy and definitely do not see the Klingons I picture looking anything like the original Klingon represented in the earlier series I saw .. errghhh *shudder*
