*'''Mannerisms:''' | *'''Overview:''' Mackenzie is an average young woman. She is not gifted with any astounding intellect, athleticism or beauty. Instead, she has considerable determination and a willingness to work long and hard to succeed in what she wants. | ||
*''' | *'''Mannerisms:''' Mackenzie tends to be very easy to read. When nervous, she'll often fidget with her hair; when stressed, she'll chew on her lower lip; when excited, she'll smile and giggle a lot. Mackenzie often sees these habits as signs of immaturity, and has tried to improve them during her time in the academy, but with little success. | ||
*''' | *'''Phobias:''' She refuses to admit it to anyone, but Mackenzie has a deep and pervading fear of combat. Although she knew of the potential for being involved with war when she joined Starfleet, anytime she considers being in the thick of personal danger, she finds herself choked with fear. She is deeply ashamed of this, and determined not to collapse in the face of duty, but this determination has not yet been tested. | ||
*'''Hobbies and | *'''Religion / Spiritualism:''' Mackenzie does not ascribe to any organized religions. Neither does she consider herself particularly spiritual. However, she does feel that every person has a series of decisions that they must make where they can choose to act selfishly or for a greater good. She hasn't honed those those thoughts beyond very rough ideas, but it has made her ponder her own existence. It is also part of why she chose to join Starfleet, a decision that surprised many of her friends and family. | ||
*'''Hobbies / Pastimes:''' Mackenzie is an avid tennis player. She played competitively through high school and at the Academy, and was moderately successful. She finds the physicality of the sport paired with the technical requirements oddly cathartic. She also enjoys more mundane activities such as reading, watching shows and fashion. She has no interest in music or dance. | |||
*'''Languages:''' Mackenzie's native language is English. She is also fluent at a native-level in American Sign Language, and is very proficient at reading lips. To meet academy requirements, she also took up to level II in Bajoran, but is quite unpracticed. | |||
*'''Ambitions:''' Mackenzie is intent upon succeeding as a Starfleet officer. She knows that she is not as naturally gifted as many of her classmates, but her determination and abilities are enough to let her make a name for herself. She is also focusing on becoming more independent, having realized since leaving Earth that her life has been considerably more sheltered and simple than many of her fellow officers. | |||

===Personal History=== | ===Personal History=== | ||
Mackenzie was born on Earth to a pair of happily married attorneys. Despite a normal genetic screen and normal pregnancy, doctors quickly determined after her birth that she had a congenital defect that caused a 100% loss of hearing. Physicians were able to surgically implant a device that interfaced with the cochlear nerve in Mackenzie's right ear, but the technology was still imperfect. | |||
After a rocky beginning, however, her life was strictly normal. Mackenzie proved to be an intelligent girl, but did not display the genius of her brother Michael, or the athleticism of her sister Morgan. However, she was a dedicated worker, especially with the encouragement of her parents and did well in secondary school, leaving her a variety of options for college. Despite, or perhaps in part because of, her parents' desire to see Mackenzie follow her siblings' lead and attend a high ranking private university, Mackenzie decided to follow a streak of wanderlust she had long been nurturing and applied to Starfleet academy. Her adequate entrance exam scores, good grades and well adjusted personality secured her spot. Her parents were surprised, but ultimately very supportive. | |||
In the academy, Mackenzie succeeded using the same principles as before. She was never the smartest in her class, but through hard work, she always ended up doing well. Furthermore, her shy but sincere personality made her several friends both among her peers and the faculty. Mackenzie had always felt supremely comfortable with computers and technology, and harbored a small gift for working with them, so she was quickly attracted to a major in Com/Ops, and minored in Helm. | |||

'''Description of Implant'''<br> | |||
<br> | |||
As described by Dr Xien, Mackenzie's implant consists of two parts: an external implant and an internal implant. The external implant is visible and consists of a two centimeter square metal device called a nexus that links to the interface surgically implanted behind her right earlobe. The nexus then connects through thin, rigid wires to five microphones that are attached to Mackenzie's skin through biphasic magnetism. The microphones make a star shape with two points where the top and bottom of her ear connect to her head, two points farther back on her head in the hairline, and one point near the back of her skull in her hair. The nexus has two buttons on its face: a larger button on the top that toggles the implant on and off, and a smaller button that disengages the nexus from the interface to the internal implant and deactivates the biphasic magnets in the microphones, thus allowing full removal of the external implant.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
When the external implant is removed, the interface to the internal implant is visible. It is a round piece with a diameter of approximately one centimeter that is surgically imbedded in the skin. There are a series of horizontal groove in the device that act as signal conductors when they are set in place with matching grooves in the nexus of the external implant.<br> | |||
