		“Don't worry, just smile!” Romyana Casparian

Ensign Romyana Casparian has recently graduated from the Academy and is currently serving as an Engineering officer aboard Starbase 118 Ops.

Appearance

---

• Height: 1,72 meter (5'8")
• Weight: 70 kg (155 pounds)
• Build: Well-proportioned youthful human woman
• Voice: Slightly low and carrying but with delicate intonation
• Hair: Long straight chestnut colored hair
• Eyes: Dark-brown inquisitive eyes

The young engineer does not mind getting her hands dirty, so to speak, and although she realizes the importance to look representative on duty, when absorbed in maintenance and repair tasks she has no issues to roll up her sleeves or otherwise adjust her uniform if that makes the task at hand easier.

She sometimes ties her long chestnut colored hair back or pins it up in a variety of ways depending on her mood.

Off duty, Romyana likes to experiment with the clothes she wears. She may take influences from other cultures and races and incorporate it in her very own style which can only be descibed as, on some occasions flamboyant, on other occasions more muted and elegant, but always complimented with eye-catching earrings.

Personality

---

She is and looks Human but has a sprinkling of Vulcan genes inherited through her mother's side of the family. Romyana has a lot of patience and always assumes the best of people.

It takes Romyana a while to befriend people, so most of her social interactions are simply polite and considerate. However, for those she considers friends or loved ones, she will jump into an antimatter reactor if necessary. On the other hand, once her trust is lost, it is not regained, ever.

Her thoughts are chaotic and her behaviour can be erratic, even for human standards, and people may see a volatile and aggressive side come to the surface when she is angered or hurt.It is probably her Vulcan heritage that causes this excess in emotion and contrary to the Vulcan custom she has never trained to control this.

Not knowing things and unfamiliar situations make Romyana insecure. Hence, details and thorough preparation are important, because this is how she feels she can be ready for anything the universe may throw at her!

• Religion: Currently practices no specific religion, though is interested to know about all.
• Sport: Competative gymnastics (in the past)
• Music interests: Latin-American style, but enjoys anything that is just not too loud and carries a tune.
• Favorite drink: Strong black coffee and chilled fruit juice with sparkling water.
• Favorite food: Pastries.
• Dislikes: Deep water.
• Hobbies: Recently discovered the game of 8-ball pool.
• Current quarters: Deck 981, room 42A

Background

---

On stardate 237308.22 Romyana was born to a Human father, Lee, and a half human, half Vulcan mother, Corynne. Shortly after, her parents marry and thirteen months later her brother Zeke was born.

When Romyana and her brother were old enough to go to school, their mother returned to active duty and was assigned as Captain of a newly commissioned star ship. This meant the siblings were raised primarily by their father, who at that time had a teaching post at the Star Fleet flight range near Saturn. To her father's disappointment Romyana was more interested in studying the craft's mechanics than flying in it, nevertheless she spent some happy hours with her father taking the trainer craft out for a spin.

The family lived in a small federation base located on Iapetus, the largest moon of Saturn. During that time Romyana discovered gymnastics and was quite successful in the sector competitions, however the excessive training regime she followed eventually took its toll on her knee joints and she was forced to stop the pursuit of the sport. Romyana studied hard and always did what her parents expected of her, but her brother Zeke was quite the opposite and as soon as he finished school he left to study Art with an obscure artists group on Andoria.

At the age of 18 Romyana joined Starfleet and was accepted to the Academy. At the same time her father and mother took amore administrative duty post at Star fleet Head Quarters and moved to San Francisco. Despite the family home being only a few blocks away from the Academy grounds, she stayed mostly within the campus complex and focussed on her studies.

In the fourth and final Academy year, Romyana was given the opportunity to go on a work placement; a Cadet Cruise. She joined the Starfleet crew that was sent to a Deep Space station in need of repair and overhaul more than initially estimated, so they welcomed anyone Starfleet could send them with engineering knowledge. Those few months on the station, "moonlighting as engineering assistant" as she calls it, is where Romyana started to enjoy being part of Starfleet and she grew up from a naive shy girl to an independent joyful woman.

Romyana returned to Earth briefly for the graduation ceremony. Her father, mother and brother were there to congratulate her. It was the first time her mother ever told her she was proud of her daughter, but Romyana was not sure if it was genuine or if Corynne said it because it was the right thing to do.

Presently she has been posted as an engineering officer on Star base 118 where she is eager to continue her exploration of the universe and everything in it. Her goals are to learn more about different species in general and make inter-species friendships. Also, if the opportunity arises she would like to learn more about her Vulcan heritage, because the only Vulcan she really knows is her Grandmother, who, opposite to Human grandparents, did not talk very much on the occasional visits she made to meet her grandchildren.
