Hybrids; Is it possible/would you like it to be?

My question is: Is it currently possible to be a hybrid? (Aka Half-Vulcan, Half-Human.) This is prominently featured in the shows and adds unique characterizes to the individual officer, like Spock having to wrestle with emotional control more than an average Vulcan, and yet it lets him see beyond plain logic and make assumptions. So far we've seen Vulcan/Human, Klingon/Human, Betazoid/Human, and Romulan/Human on screen, and far more exotic combinations in the books. (Sonek Pran comes to mind...)

That said, if it is not possible, would anyone out there like to see that implemented? My thought on it would be that say there are three traits exclusive to each race then you would get one from each constituent race (one skill from mom's race, one from dad's) and a random draw for the third.

Anybody have any thoughts, or am I barking up the wrong tree here? :)

    Well, truthfully the character creation system can more or less make that possible anyway. It's customizable, so looks and traits wise, you could do a darn good job of making a Half-Human-Half-Vulcan for example.

    In fact I made one my BOs a half-romulan-vulcan-orion. It was weird, dude.

    :)

    You can do it, it's just instead of the Race showing Half Vulcan it would show "Alien"
