:''Creating a basic bio is quick and easy to do! Wherever you see brackets below, just add in the text you need, replacing things like 'your name' or 'your ship' with the relevant information inside the coding provided, or follow the instructions given - then delete the brackets and any instructions inside them! Once you're done, you'll have a bare bones bio that you can build on using the FBC tutorials, getting tips from other people's bios or adding your own ideas! Click "edit" to get started! Good luck and enjoy!''


<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Harry Kim's info above and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, and Green. Remember those colors as we'll be using them for the section headers in the rest of this bio.
'''Lieutenant Commander Nolen Hobart''' currently serves as [[First Officer]] aboard the '''{{USS|Khitomer}}'''.


Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9 or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each. There is also an extra STO pip set, but it works best in the table rather than in the sidebar.

Settling on Relva VIII, Tarn lived a life of seclusion, the only telepath on the station besides her son.


Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.
Mara and Nolen do not have a good relationship, and rarely speak directly, each preferring to communicate via messages relayed by Omar Hobart.

If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. You can use the "EXTRA" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.
 
You can also display your OOC writer ID number in your character's sidebar if you want by adding AUTHOR= to the list of variables. If you leave it blank, this field will disappear.

The pair maintained a friendship that is usually supportive, occasionally antagonistic, and always good-natured. Their friendship showed signs of a deeper connection, when Talia assisted Nolen in learning to manage his heightened empathic senses. Eventually, this developed into a high-stakes game of "flirt chicken," neither wanting to be the one to blink and commit. Eventually, Nolen caved and tried to kiss Talia, but any further development was indefinitely interrupted by an untimely summons to the Captain's Ready Room.

{{Heading|Appearance|Gold}}
Nolen is at his best when he is solving a technical problem, devising gadgets, breaking equipment down, and building it back up. He is far from his best when he is engaged in conversation with other sentient beings, be they telepathic or not. When not fully engaged in a task, Hobart can be distant and distracted, his mind apt to wander to the things he's good at. Accordingly he is more likely to lock himself in a maintenance closet than take advantage of shore leave. To the extent that he makes active use of his empathic abilities, Nolen applies them as a survival instinct: a sort of "early warning" system for social interactions he'd rather avoid.

In spite of these "flaws," Hobart is a dedicated officer, and a serviceable friend.{{Heading|Background|Gold}}
Whom does your character get on with or not get on with? For now, pick one member of your current crew and enter their name below, then describe the nature of your character's relationship with them.
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.


* [[(Name of character)]]
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.
(Description Here)


As a 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.


{{Heading|(Background/Personality/Career History)|Gold}}
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.
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!

Hobart entered [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2396 and quickly distinguished himself academically. His technical skills carried over well from his childhood hobbies, and in his early semesters he sampled a variety of subjects through his electives. In his second year, he elected to enroll in [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Combat, Marksmanship]] and [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Small Units]] and earned high praise from his instructors for a quick and firm grasp of all matters related to theory. On Stardate 239712.20, Cadet Hobart was approached about a transfer to [[Starfleet Command School|Command School]], in light of his performance in these classes, and a written offer was made. The change would likely add at least a year to Cadet Hobart's schooling, but of more concern was whether Cadet Hobart could effectively lead. He was not at all disliked by his peers, but he was not especially liked or admired. After discussion with his father, Nolen declined the invitation two days later, and thereon focused his Academy studies entirely on [[Academy Majors and Minors/Engineering|Engineering]] and [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO|Operations]].
On Stardate 240001.12, Cadet Hobart boarded the USS ''Turneville'' for transfer to [[Starbase 118]] for his final training cruise. On Stardate 240001.24, he graduated and was immediately assigned to serve aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']] as its [[Engineering (Duty Post)|Engineering Officer]].
On Stardate 240001.24, Ensign Hobart arrived aboard aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']]. He served honorably in the ''Arrow''<nowiki/>'s raid against a Sheliak mining facility referred to as the "Hexagon," and was accordingly awarded the Good Conduct Ribbon.
On Stardate 240004.05, as [[Connor Dewitt|Lieutenant Dewitt]] departed to serve as attaché aboard the USS ''Libris'', Ensign Hobart assumed the temporary role of Chief Engineer in his absence, and for his conduct would be awarded the Legion of Merit. In the wake of an ionizing phenomenon from a nearby nebula in the region known as "the Swamp," Ensign Hobart coordinated damage control measures before departing on a rescue mission to the crippled ''Libris'' alongside [[Jacin Ayemet|Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet]] and [[Ceilidh Slipka|Ensign Ceilidh Slipka]]. Aboard the ''Libris'', Jacin and Hobart retrieved a surviving cadet before regrouping with a number of ''Arrow'' officers in Main Engineering, and returning to the ''Arrow''.
On Stardate 240005.18, in the midst of the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']]'s shoreleave on [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Freecloud Freecloud], Ensign Hobart remained aboard to conduct the planned and approved overhaul of the ship's EPS grid, until, after losing a bet with [[Artinus Serinus|Lieutenant Commander Artinus Serinus]], then head of Security, he ventured to the planet's surface in search of a rare bottle of wine for the Lieutenant Commander's collection. At the end of shoreleave and prior to embarkation on the ''Arrow''<nowiki/>'s next mission, [[Randal Shayne|Captain Randal Shayne]] promoted Hobart to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.
On Stardate 240007.17, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart embarked on an away mission to the planet of Naz. In the wake of an earthquake, Hobart found himself swallowed and buried in a cavern beneath the planet's surface with the rest of the away team, with injuries to his ribs. Further earthquakes caused Hobart, along with [[Quentin Collins|Lieutenant Commanders Quentin Collins]] and [[AJ Cregg]], to be separated from the rest of the away team, but he safely navigated the network of tunnels beneath the planet's surface to escape. For his actions, he would be awarded a second Legion of Merit.
On Stardate 240009.05, [[Karrod Niac|Commander Karrod Niac]] underwent the [[Trill]] ritual of Zhian'tara, in which friends or family serve as temporary hosts to a Trill [[symbiont]]'s past iterations and allow a joined Trill to commune in a direct conversation. Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart participated in the ceremony, and served as host for [[Morgan, Adriana|Commander Adriana Morgan]], a Betazoid woman who had served with Commander Niac on the [[USS Excalibur-A|USS ''Excalibur''-A]]. In an incident involving recovered alien technology, Commander Morgan's consciousness had briefly occupied Commander Niac's body, and in that time had imprinted upon the Niac symbiont.
On Stardate 240010.01, the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']] encountered a derelict space station. When an away team vanished without a trace, the ''Arrow'' launched a probe to investigate a previously unknown temporal anomaly. In order to better control the probe, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart, along with [[Jacin Ayemet|Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet]] and [[Chloe Waters|Lieutenant Commander Chloe Waters]], modified Waters' "crown" to serve as a control interface to the crown, and as a transmission receiver. For his actions he was awarded the Innovation Ribbon.

Early on in his tenure aboard the USS Arrow, Nolen Hobart found a kindship with Connor Dewitt. Impressed by Dewitt's technical skill and rapid ascent through the ranks, Nolen was inspired (and instructed) to pursue section command.
Their friendship bloomed, and eventually Connor asked Nolen to serve as Best Man, in his wedding to Jacin Ayemet. Nolen agreed, without knowing exactly what that entailed. Together, the two men continued to rise through the ranks, until Nolen and Connor were the Arrow's (and subsequently the Khitomer's) First Officer and Chief Engineer, respectively.

Joining the Arrow at roughly the same time as Hobart, Talia Ohnari currently serves as Chief Medical Officer. The pair maintained a friendship that is usually supportive, occasionally antagonistic, and always good-natured. Their friendship showed signs of a deeper connection, when Talia assisted Nolen in learning to manage his heightened empathic senses. Eventually, this developed into a high-stakes game of "flirt chicken," neither wanting to be the one to blink and commit. Eventually, Nolen caved and tried to kiss Talia, but any further development was indefinitely interrupted by an untimely summons to the Captain's Ready Room.

Personality


Nolen is at his best when he is solving a technical problem, devising gadgets, breaking equipment down, and building it back up. He is far from his best when he is engaged in conversation with other sentient beings, be they telepathic or not. When not fully engaged in a task, Hobart can be distant and distracted, his mind apt to wander to the things he's good at. Accordingly he is more likely to lock himself in a maintenance closet than take advantage of shore leave. To the extent that he makes active use of his empathic abilities, Nolen applies them as a survival instinct: a sort of "early warning" system for social interactions he'd rather avoid.

In spite of these "flaws," Hobart is a dedicated officer, and a serviceable friend.

Background


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 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.

Hobart entered Starfleet Academy in 2396 and quickly distinguished himself academically. His technical skills carried over well from his childhood hobbies, and in his early semesters he sampled a variety of subjects through his electives. In his second year, he elected to enroll in Tactics: Combat, Marksmanship and Tactics: Small Units and earned high praise from his instructors for a quick and firm grasp of all matters related to theory. On Stardate 239712.20, Cadet Hobart was approached about a transfer to Command School, in light of his performance in these classes, and a written offer was made. The change would likely add at least a year to Cadet Hobart's schooling, but of more concern was whether Cadet Hobart could effectively lead. He was not at all disliked by his peers, but he was not especially liked or admired. After discussion with his father, Nolen declined the invitation two days later, and thereon focused his Academy studies entirely on Engineering and Operations.

On Stardate 240001.12, Cadet Hobart boarded the USS Turneville for transfer to Starbase 118 for his final training cruise. On Stardate 240001.24, he graduated and was immediately assigned to serve aboard the USS Arrow as its Engineering Officer.

On Stardate 240001.24, Ensign Hobart arrived aboard aboard the USS Arrow. He served honorably in the Arrow's raid against a Sheliak mining facility referred to as the "Hexagon," and was accordingly awarded the Good Conduct Ribbon.

On Stardate 240004.05, as Lieutenant Dewitt departed to serve as attaché aboard the USS Libris, Ensign Hobart assumed the temporary role of Chief Engineer in his absence, and for his conduct would be awarded the Legion of Merit. In the wake of an ionizing phenomenon from a nearby nebula in the region known as "the Swamp," Ensign Hobart coordinated damage control measures before departing on a rescue mission to the crippled Libris alongside Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet and Ensign Ceilidh Slipka. Aboard the Libris, Jacin and Hobart retrieved a surviving cadet before regrouping with a number of Arrow officers in Main Engineering, and returning to the Arrow.

On Stardate 240005.18, in the midst of the USS Arrow's shoreleave on Freecloud, Ensign Hobart remained aboard to conduct the planned and approved overhaul of the ship's EPS grid, until, after losing a bet with Lieutenant Commander Artinus Serinus, then head of Security, he ventured to the planet's surface in search of a rare bottle of wine for the Lieutenant Commander's collection. At the end of shoreleave and prior to embarkation on the Arrow's next mission, Captain Randal Shayne promoted Hobart to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.

On Stardate 240007.17, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart embarked on an away mission to the planet of Naz. In the wake of an earthquake, Hobart found himself swallowed and buried in a cavern beneath the planet's surface with the rest of the away team, with injuries to his ribs. Further earthquakes caused Hobart, along with Lieutenant Commanders Quentin Collins and AJ Cregg, to be separated from the rest of the away team, but he safely navigated the network of tunnels beneath the planet's surface to escape. For his actions, he would be awarded a second Legion of Merit.

On Stardate 240009.05, Commander Karrod Niac underwent the Trill ritual of Zhian'tara, in which friends or family serve as temporary hosts to a Trill symbiont's past iterations and allow a joined Trill to commune in a direct conversation. Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart participated in the ceremony, and served as host for Commander Adriana Morgan, a Betazoid woman who had served with Commander Niac on the USS Excalibur-A. In an incident involving recovered alien technology, Commander Morgan's consciousness had briefly occupied Commander Niac's body, and in that time had imprinted upon the Niac symbiont.

On Stardate 240010.01, the USS Arrow encountered a derelict space station. When an away team vanished without a trace, the Arrow launched a probe to investigate a previously unknown temporal anomaly. In order to better control the probe, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart, along with Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet and Lieutenant Commander Chloe Waters, modified Waters' "crown" to serve as a control interface to the crown, and as a transmission receiver. For his actions he was awarded the Innovation Ribbon.
