| Ashley started out as an oddly confident ensign, quite impervious to the intimidation of the rank structure that usually paralyzes most ensigns fresh from Academy. His talents spoke for him in his clever insights and professionalism. A natural socialite and studied psychologist with a side passion for cultural anthropology, he was intellectually respected by his new crew on the Ronin, and then later, on the Thunder with her dual duty post on the Embassy of Duronis II. He prided himself on his spotless reputation and ability to aid his crew, even when they were resistant (as crewmembers can naturally be to psycho-analyzing). He cultivated friendships among his crew easily, and even began to think of Commander Tallis as a fatherly figure.

| His personal life was not so perfect. Combating his inherited Theoron's Disease, his personal life crumbled over time. Being a Denobulan without a family, and fearing starting his own for cursing his own future children with his own incurable disorder, he was left feeling empty despite his professional success. As a minor complication on the side of his serious health issue, he battles moderate chiraptophobia (the fear of being touched), as many Denobulan males do. In the place of the family he couldn't have, he took to dangerous behaviors.

| Doctor Saveron diagnosed his drinking as a problem and attempted to alter his behaviors for the better, but eventually had to forcibly treat him for alcoholism. Despite his commanding officers disappointment in him personally, he was promoted to full Lieutenant for his skill and was well cared for by his friends among the crew.
| |
| | |
| However, when he could no longer drink away his troubles, Ashley turned to his less common vice, recreational drugs. His dealer, a Laudean civilian by the name of Shanq, turned out to be far more criminal than the average drug pusher. Shanq had worked for a major criminal named Gaev, who the crew had to defeat at length and great effort. When his leader was taken down under Captain Toni Turner and Commander Tallis Rhul's command, he lost great wealth from their ended joint underground activities. Unable to be pinned by the Laudean government directly for the crimes, he was released, only to take his next visit from Ashley as an opportunity for revenge.

| | |
| Ashley's drug habit resulted in a terrible beating, the removal of his right pinky finger by knife, and the carving of taunts against the Federation into his flesh. Shanq finished his work with a brutal sexual assault. This marked a low point for Ashley. He faced a long recovery, his secret behaviors were now common gossip, and was no closer to personally dealing with his unique health problems.

| | |
| After the unfortunate events involving the Laudean Shanq, as well as the legal problems inherent, Ashley was encouraged by Starfleet to take an extended LOA from the Duronis II Embassy. He remained on active duty but transferred to Earth, where he spent his time furthering his psychological studies in San Fransisco, working from the Head Counseling Offices of Starfleet Headquarters, and taking regular opportunity to visit his Terran mother, Lina, in Alaska. Having spent a year on Earth he took it upon himself to request a new transfer... to return to the Duronis II Embassy, where he could not only rejoin his crew, but also face his past demons. After a short duty stint on the Embassy, he felt ready for a new assignment, this time on a space-faring vessel, and was assigned to the USS Darwin upon its relaunch.

| | Born on Denobulan to a family of doctors, Yael studied first at The Denobulan Science Academy before joining Starfleet. He started as an oddly confident ensign, quite impervious to the intimidation of the rank structure that usually paralyzes most ensigns fresh from Academy. His talents, clever insights, and professionalism made him stand out. A natural socialite and studied psychologist with a side passion for cultural anthropology, he was intellectually respected by his new crew on the Ronin, and then later on the Thunder with her dual duty post on the Embassy of Duronis II. He prided himself on his spotless reputation and ability to aid his crew. He cultivated friendships easily and even began to think of Commander Tallis as a fatherly figure. He held a single degree in Xeno-Cultural Psychology with a minor in Abnormal Psychology, and served as acting Chief Counselor. |

| | His personal life meanwhile was not so perfect. Combating his inherited Theoron's Disease, his personal life was chaotic. He feared starting a family and cursing his own future children with his incurable disorder, leaving him feeling empty. He took to expressing his discontent through risky personal behaviors. Doctor Saveron, his close friend, diagnosed his alcoholism but eventually had to forcibly treat him. Yet he was still using recreational drugs. His dealer, a Laudean civilian by the name of Shanq, turned out to be far more criminal than the average drug pusher. Shanq had worked for a major criminal named Gaev, who the Starfleet crew were attempting to constrain to aid the Laudean government. When his leader was taken down under Captain Toni Turner and Commander Tallis Rhul's command, Shanq saw an opportunity to promote his station and used Yael as a hostage to that end. After a traumatizing experience, Ashley reached a low point facing a lengthy recovery. He took a LOA from active duty service and returned to Earth. |

|
| | This being Yael’s second stint in Starfleet after taking a sabbatical for two years to further his education and heal, he attained his second professional degree in Xeno-Cultural Anthropology, and he is quite optimistic about his being posted to Starbase 118 Ops. |
