Kes (Star Trek: Voyager)
I was very annoyed when they dumped Kes off the show to bring in a walking pair of breasts, in the form of former-Borg 7 Of 9. I loved Kes' character, especially her mental powers. After she turned into an energy lifeform and left the human ship, I found her all the more attractive.


I definitely was sad to see her go.

I kinda had a crush on her. 7of9 was a lot more interesting & allowed the show to have more & better storylines than Kes & 7 also had sex appeal but I didn't really notice that. Kes's personality was a lot more attractive than 7; she was sensitive, had heart & she was cuter too

This thread badly needs Gwen DeMarco to say something snarky. :wink:

I see the Asari and the Na'vi have been mentioned. Both excellent choices. No love for Twi'leks though? I am disappoint.

I'd post pics, but I haven't been here long enough.

But they do come in a rainbow of wonderful colors!

I mostly posted Star Trek human-like aliens, because I can't remember the names of the other movies and shows! I often find creatures added to movies with the intent to scare the audience, attractive, or at least someone I'd like to be friends with.

Blue toned skin on femaliens is definitely excellent, or green (but not something silly like neon or pastel green).

I like the alien in the first page that's all blue with scales. I have always loved the appearance of scales, and have spent hundreds of hours drawing monsters with scales. One time I did a ten foot dragon on a wall in thick marker, hand-drawing every little scale onto it. I have considered tattooing my entire body with scales, but it would most likely interfere with my ability to be taken seriously in some areas where I would prefer to be taken seriously.

I don't know what all of these are from, and some are not from movies, but I find all of these alien-like creatures to be physically attractive:

I love the scales! Although I would prefer if the face had them as well.

I love Giger's artwork, he is truly amazing at what he does.

I think that Vulcans are the most attractive.

I'm surprised queen/senator Amidala of Naboo from Star Wars wasn't mentioned yet

B'Elanna Torres (Star Trek: Voyager)
I enjoyed observing her with her troubles fitting in among a mostly human crew, as a half-Klingon with emotional peculiarities and bursts of anger.



Image
Guinan (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
I always enjoyed her calm method of talking, no matter who she was talking to. I loved how she could always find some insight to point out which would help whomever came to her to talk. Once I watched the episode where it became apparent that her race lived for hundreds or thousands of years -- I was sold, that is just awesome!

Ro Laren (Star Trek: The Next Generation | Star Trek: Deep Space 9)
I loved how troubled she was, and how she wanted to do good, but so often found herself breaking rules and getting in trouble. That struggle to try to "do right" to everyone in her life, past and present, was endearing. I also loved how blunt she could be, it reminded me of myself. :P



Image
K'Ehleyr (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
From the moment she appeared on-screen, climbing out of the modified torpedo, I was enamoured to her. She was so cool and collected, while still being assertive and strong. Her smile and face are super beautiful, including her ridges.

It's good to see that nobody has mentioned wookiees yet.

And queen/senator Amidala is technically a human.

I thought she was humanoid but not human. She's from Naboo not earth so unless Naboo was colonized by humans from Earth; she would not be technically be considered human

Of course any "alien" species which is physically attractive in an eros manner is going to resemble humanity. "Aliens" such as Deanna Troi, Jadzia Dax, Seven of Nine, Torres, T'Pol, Eryn Sun, Princess Leah, etc, are played by physically attractive actresses and so the "aliens" they portray are attractive due to their attractiveness.

This is not correct. You seem to be forgetting the opening line of Star Wars:

They are humanoid, but not human.

I would have to completely disagree.

For me, the physical component of attractiveness is minimal, and the behavioural/mental component is of utmost importance. That is why I listed for each the personality traits which I found attractive.

I liked Deanna's ability to detect emotions -- this would make it effortless to interact with her, as I wouldn't need to use any social queues in order for her to know what I was feeling, and even if my feelings were much less than those around me, she would still be aware of precisely what I was feeling.

I loved the rough history of Tasha Yar, Kira Nerys and Ro Laren, all pretty similarly difficult lives. I have always found it attractive when a person can get through horrible situations in their life, abuse and traumas, and manage to come out the other side still hopeful about life, still learning, not just carrying on the abuse they experienced to others. THIS is attractive to me!

With 7 of 9, I hated that the show producers (Rick Berman ruined the Star Trek franchise in my opinion, the more he got involved, the more campy and ridiculous Star Trek has gotten) removed a perfectly interesting and developing character in Kes, and replaced her with a walking set of breasts. I eventually came to really like 7 of 9, especially with her trying to figure out human interactions from a completely outside perspective. Same with the holographic doctor on Voyager (he never chose a name for himself, did he?) and Data.

I found Data's daughter attractive as well, because of her difficulties fitting in and understanding humans, but she only lived for a couple days or so:

Image

The way that attractiveness operates for me is like this:

1) I see a person in the distance.

2) I intake every bit of information I can about them even before I get close to them: what clothes they are dressed in, body language, mannerisms, what activity they are doing, hairstyle, etc.

3) I heavily analyse all this and come up with likelihoods for which things this entity is following/motivated by. For most people this is the monetary system, which I find repulsive. So before I even have arrived at the person I often find them unattractive.

4) If I was unable to see any motivations which I find unattractive, then I will look at their physical appearance to see how attractive or not attractive they are on a purely physical level. I do NOT allow this physical analysis of them to EVER influence my behaviour and actions toward them.

5) Once I arrive at the person, I continue to heavily analysis them, via body language and the content of what they say. I again search for more clues as to what motivates them in their life, and whether I find the things they are being lead by attractive or not.

6) Based on my ongoing observations in #5, my view of their physical attractiveness in #4 will continually shift. If I started out thinking they were physically unattractive, but I liked their behaviour, that would rapidly replace any notion I had for physical appearance. Or vice versa, they may start out looking absolutely attractive to me, but once they open their mouth and divulge how shallow they are, they look extremely ugly.

The primary reason why characters on Star Trek don't look "totally alien" is because they have had horribly small budgets to work with, so the facial foam masks is usually all they could afford to do. I would not care how alien they looked, if I found their behavioural routines attractive.

As a random example, I have always found Deanna's mother, Lwaxana Troi, very attractive. This is because she knows what she likes, and goes after it. She is not deterred by anybody else's negativity, and lives life full of energy. Plus the reading of minds would certainly make interacting with her effortless.

However, she probably would not like me, as my thoughts would certainly overwhelm or disconcert her.
