MSPNPCs

Security Chief Nat Careswell

Name: Nathaniel “Nat” Careswell Species: Human Sex: Male DOB (Age): 236804.15 (30) Height: 170cm Weight: 71kg Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Rank: Lieutenant Spouse: Kenny Careswell (husband), currently working on SB118 Children: Dorothy “Dottie” (age 6) and Kenny, Jr. (age 3), currently living with their dad (Kenny is ‘dad,’ Nat is ‘papa’).

Overview: Nat Careswell is a ray of sunshine in a cold, dark, grim galaxy. He is terminally positive and never without a smile on his face. He once had ambitions to be a starship captain, but as he’s settled into his career, he realizes that he’s probably not cut out for it. Instead, he’s content to serve as head of security for an out-of-the-way, relatively unimportant research station, where the biggest threat to security is when the cafeteria runs out of kedgeree. The only thing he dislikes about his job is that he can’t have his husband and kids live with him, so he makes frequent weekends to SB118.

Chief Scientist Grendle

Name: Grendle Gender: Male Species: Dokkaran Age: 175 Physical Appearance- Height: 2 meters tall Weight: 80 kg Hair Color: Black Eye Color: pale blue Physical Description: sentient plant based life form, tall and sturdy like an oak Family- Spouse: Children: None as Dokkarans do not procreate in the usual manner but are born from the Lady (from the wiki - Dokkarans are born fully mature beneath the branches of the great Vizinyian Trees, which in turn spawned from the lone sentient Vizinyian Tree called The Lady by the Dokkarans)

General Overview- Grendle joined Starfleet in the pursuit of pure knowledge. Obviously, his chosen research revolves around botany, and the terraforming experiments conducted by the Rinascita station intrigues him greatly. Grendle is a serene, thoughtful being who strives to embody the harmonious relationship with others that his species is known for. He has never taken a life, but if provoked, would have no regrets as it would maintain the ethical balance of life in his opinion. Dokkarians were created from Starfleet officers who were killed on the planet in the line of duty. Their bodies were taken to the Lady, an ancient tree like being who used their forms to create her first ‘children’. There are now over 300 of their species, either on Ceata, their home world, or scattered throughout the stars.

Strengths & Weaknesses- He has great strength, but if his ‘bones’ are broken, would have to find soil and nutrients to heal for many months. He is not arrogant but rather matter of fact in what he perceives as truth. He will not sugar coat, but he will not go out of his way to be cruel - by his standards. He speaks fluent Romulan due to one of the dead officer’s knowledge of the language.

Hobbies & Interests- Grendle reads ancient science textbooks and gives lectures to his small greenhouse of small, sentient plants, at least one of which can move under its own power.

Personal History: Grendle keeps his history to himself. He was ‘born’ like the others of his kind by the grace of the Lady, and studied science and psychology from the time he realized there were many other races in the universe. He wants to understand them all, but does not necessarily want to know many of them.

Doctor Morka

Name: Morka Species: Argelian Sex: Male Age: 28 Rank: LtJG Position: Resident Physician

Chronological History: Morka’s family left for Risa before he was born. Hearing that the Risians and Argelians were like minded in their attitudes towards life. It was being on Risa that Morka first came into contact with Starfleet officers. His compassion for others led him to the medical field. His first posting was aboard the research station Rinascita. He seems a rather cheery fellow.

Station Chief Rackham

Name: Ben Rackham Species: Human Sex: Male DOB (Age): 236609.10 (32) Height: 181cm Weight: 100kg Hair: Dirty blonde Eyes: Dirty grey Rank: Lieutenant Commander

Overview: People would say Ben is affable and charming; a winning smile to go with his sparkling eyes, and a dash of adventure hewn into his bones. Science is his passion, his first love, and his raison d'etre. When he achieved the rank and privilege of leading his team into the wonders of the scientific world on Rinascita station, he does so like a Captain shooting off into battle against the Dominion. Good-looking, well-spoken, tall, broad, handsome, and everything one would desire to put their confidence in.

Doctor Keita

Name: Zakhele Keita Gender: Male Species: Human Age: 46 Physical Appearance- Height: 1,94 mt Weight: 95 kg Hair Color: Black, short, with some grey on his temples Eye Color: Brown

Physical Description: Strong build, muscular, looks more like an ancient Zulu warrior than a doctor.

Family- Spouse: none at the moment. Two ex wifes Children: three, two from the first marriage, one from his last

General Overview: Zahkele is a giant of a Doctor who doesn't look the part. Being of African ancestry he firmly believes in the expression, healthy body, healthy mind, keeping very much in shape. In fact he can put to shame many men half his age. He has an admiration for Zulu culture and he does resemble King Shaka, according to some paintings. He is a friendly character, but can be considered vain at first. He is sure of himself, takes his work very seriously and loves to dwell into moral and philosophical questions.

Strengths & Weaknesses - Very focused and serious in the tasks he undertakes. Confident, smart and easy to deal with if he allows others to get close. Considers himself too highly and sets up goals he might never reach. Vain and doesn't like to be called upon when wrong.

Hobbies & Interests Drawing. He became quite good and has several paintings and drawings hanging in his quarters and workplace. That also makes him write down his research notes.

Personal History: Zahkele (Zak for short) was born in Southern Africa. His parents were both scientists (his mother was a physicist and his father a biologist) and from them he inherited the curiosity that makes him eagerly search for knowledge. His first name means "create something for yourself" and his last "blessing". He always saw those as a sign that he would do great things. He entered medical school due to his fascination with the human body, and from a young age he set up the goal to cure the ultimate human illness. Death. He graduated among the top five of his course, and he tried to apply to Starfleet. The rejection didn't bode well with him, and he held a grudge against Starfleet for that. He practiced around several civilian ships, joined some settling colonies, but always wanted to do research. Now, after another failed marriage he was invited by the head researcher, whom he met years ago, to join him in Rinascita. He accepted the position of Chief Medical. The research there fascinated him and he thought it would suit perfectly with his purpose.
