-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!
+Nolen Hobart was born on Relva VIII in late 2375 as the Alpha and Beta quadrants recovered from the Dominion War. His mother, Mara Tarn, was a Betazoid refugee who had come to Relva VIII with Nolen's father. There they raised an infant Nolen under the protective pressurized domes of the Federation mining facility.
+An only child, Nolen proved precocious at an early age, demonstrating advanced empathic abilities which, as a young boy, made him particularly prone to manipulation. Due to the emotional and physical trauma she suffered at the hands of the Jem'Hadar, Mara was somewhat absent, and Nolen did not receive the traditional reader training afforded to Betazoid children. The task fell to Nolen's human father, and to a lesser degree, other station personnel, to teach communal and interpersonal boundaries. The fact that Nolen's telepathic abilities were virtually nonexistent made this a feasible endeavor.
+As a young teenager, Nolen began to resent his empathic abilities. Describing a "haze" of emotion that only he (and his mother) experienced, he struggled with a sense of isolation brought on by being surrounded by others. Pain, anguish, joy, hate, love, loss, and lust were equally oppressive to his mind. The emotional trauma suffered by his mother (and broadcast to his mind alone) was especially offensive to young Nolen. Through the help of the station's counselors, Nolen managed to get through depression and rage, but never quite escaped his resentment, or fully accepted his powers.
+It was at this time that he began to focus on machines. Tinkering became a pastime and consumed his every waking hour outside of his schooling. This eventually got him into some amount of trouble, and earned him a juvenile criminal record. Despite this, it also provided a path forward, as Omar encouraged Nolen to focus on this budding talent as a path to a career in Starfleet. With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.
