<span style="color:white;"><big> Doz Finch is a Human who hails from the english city of Birmingham, on Earth. It was never her dream to become an engineer like so many in her family, but happened through necessity. Left behind to care for her miserable mother, in a house full of constantly broken robots and appliances, her brother suggested she read repair manuals to keep herself busy, inadvertently planting within her the seed of escape. Encouraged by her best friend Murphy, she used the skills she had learned to catapult herself into an enlisted career, leaving her grim life behind. Forty years on, and with the loss of her beloved friend Murphy, she takes an offer to commission and start anew——though droplets of the life she left behind begin to re-emerge.
<span style="color:white;"><big>As a roleplayer, and as a writer in general, I've always enjoyed and preferred telling the stories of characters that have already led full and varied lives, and not for the reason people may think. There is this idea that once you reach a certain point in your life, you become free of your strange traits and habits and rituals. I don't think that this is true in the slightest. For a lot of people, their unchecked persona's can fester, become riddled and complex and even a little archetypal. These are the characters I love to write.''

''Doz Finch is a woman whose career in Starfleet has been anything but ordinary; originally the youngest child of four, when her brothers left Earth to pursue engineering careers, they left her to deal with their miserable and deeply troubled mother, throwing the most important years of her teenage life into gloom. But something her brother Wallace said not only stuck with her but planted the seed of escape —— he had advised Doz to fill her time by reading repair manuals, so that she could maintain and fix all of the tricky technology in their home. Although furious with him over it, she did in fact do it and after a year became something of a self-taught technician. Encouraged by her best friend Murphy, she catapulted herself into an enlisted career, leaving all of the misery behind. Forty years on, shortly after Murphy's death, the real story begins at Starbase 118.'' </span>
