:''Creating a basic bio is quick and easy to do! Wherever you see brackets below, just add in the text you need, replacing things like 'your name' or 'your ship' with the relevant information inside the coding provided, or follow the instructions given - then delete the brackets and any instructions inside them! Once you're done, you'll have a bare bones bio that you can build on using the FBC tutorials, getting tips from other people's bios or adding your own ideas! Click "edit" to get started! Good luck and enjoy!''

<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Harry Kim's info above and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, and Green. Remember those colors as we'll be using them for the section headers in the rest of this bio.

Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9 or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each. There is also an extra STO pip set, but it works best in the table rather than in the sidebar.

For date of birth, add a leading zero for single digit months and dates. The sidebar will automatically calculate your character's age as well.

If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field.

Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.

If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. You can use the "EXTRA" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.

You can also display your OOC writer ID number in your character's sidebar if you want by adding AUTHOR= to the list of variables. If you leave it blank, this field will disappear.

Once you're done, we'll move onto the introductory sentence/paragraph for your character below!-->

'''Ensign Asha Sodhi''' is currently serving as a '''Medical Officer''' aboard the {{USS|Blackwell}}. (A table of contents will be automatically generated below this line - you won't see it in the edit window but it'll be right there once you save the page!)

{{Heading|(Background/Personality/Career History)|Teal}}
In the coding above, delete two of the headings so that only one remains. You can then type here as if you were writing on notepad to drop in some information about your character. If you want to use bullets, copy and paste the star above. You can also look on the forums and the wiki for tutorials on how to use more adventurous coding. Want to include sections for Background, Personality AND Career History? Just copy the code for the title bar above, then paste it in type in the title you want - you can add extra sections in too!

{{Heading|Background|Teal}}
Asha Sodhi was born to Vinod and Coomi Sodhi on stardate 236403.13. The city of Chandigarh on the planet Earth would be the only home she knew until she became an adult. As the only child of workaholic parents, Asha's childhood was quotidian. Life was spent reading, studying, listening to music, and playing strategic narrative games with her parents before bed.

One would find little of note in the records of school teachers, administrators, or counselors during Asha's years of youth. Disciplinary action was rare, but so were moments of admiration. One would merely find records of a student that few people remembered with impeccable attendance and grades consistently in the 99th percentile.

Asha attended the University of Alpha Centauri upon completing her secondary education. The change of environment was something of a shock for an already shy woman. Her experience with other cultures and lifestyles was intellectual until that point. Living amongst it was another thing entirely.

The competition was the other culture shock. There was no such thing as a half-hearted medical student at UAC. The 99th percentile Asha was accustomed to living in began to slip to the 95th and even the 90th in some general areas of study. Some things, however, did not change. Her life stayed relatively solitary as the pastimes of an only child continued into adulthood.

The bachelor's at the University of Alpha Centauri was followed by a doctorate in neuroscience at the Daystrom Institute. It was there that a career in Starfleet entered Asha's mind. The amount of both current and former Starfleet personnel at Daystrom introduced the possibility into her mind. The final drop in the bucket was the amount of 'first times' and discoveries she studied that were the result of Starfleet missions and expeditions. She applied to Starfleet Academy immediately after finishing her Ph.D.

Fortunate enough to be accepted, Asha continued to perform well in medical and scientific courses. But she did have some relative struggles in tactical, operations, and security courses. Her overall performance was high, but once again, it is not unlikely that she would have been found unmemorable by many. Ideas were textbook, answers correct but in the box, and so forth. There is probably a note or two from professors about a slightly sub-par ability to handle conflict. Asha's academic and regulatory performance may have been enough to outweigh that concern. But the concern may still be valid.

:''Below you'll see a table which contains images for rank pips - you can change the word 'Gold' for 'Red' or 'Teal' or one of the other colors listed earlier to match your duty post. Again, not all ranks are available in all colors and/or pipstyles. You can change pips from the default to a different style such as [[Template:DS9Pips|DS9]], [[Template:STOPips|STO]], or [[Template:SlantedPips|Slanted]] by adding DS9, STO, or Slanted after the color.''
