Personality & Traits
| General Overview | A competent officer, though still somewhat uncomfortable with his commission after so many years as an NCO. That said he works well under pressure and has demonstrated the ability to adapt to circumstances as needed. At this time it is unclear where his career will take him, but he has stated that he will remain in Starfleet until they force him out or he dies. The Officer's braid weighs heavily on him still, as do the feelings of abandonment he feels about his team (He feels he abandoned them) |

| Personal History | Born on Earth in 2222 to an old Eastern European family, the son of an Admiral there was never really any question as to whether or not he would join Starfleet. The only question that existed was what was his field going to be. On his seventeenth (17) birthday he fairly pissed off his father by enlisting rather than take the Academy spot he had gotten him. The two wouldn't talk for over a year, though the Admiral did show up to his Basic Training graduation even if they didn't talk. The entirety of his career has been in the Operations Division, though most of it to date was in the security forces. Eventually he earned himself a recommendation for SEAL training at BUD/S* and successfully earned a spot in the SEAL Teams on Team 2 as a Demolition specialist and field engineer. Over time he wanted to develop his skills even further and sought acceptance to the Academy for an Accelerated Masters Program (AMP). Unfortunately for him, the registrar who filed his paperwork also put him into the Enlisted Commissioning Program and by the time this was revealed** it was really too late to avoid and he accidentally ended up becoming an Officer and ending his career as a field grade SEAL. Now with the completion of his Masters in Engineering completed and his commission in place he earned a spot aboard the U.S.S. Midway as Chief Engineer and Third Officer (4IC). *I figure for tradition they just kept the name of the training program the same, it's just backstory fluff. ** It wasn't hidden from him, it's just he assumed that the paperwork had been done correctly for the first 18 months. Only when the ECP part started did he realize the screwup. |
