==About Me==
==About Me==


Here's where I guess I get to tell you all more about me. In case you were curious or something. I was born and raised in the DC area. My dad brought me up with Star Trek so I have been watching since I can remember. I also enjoy writing. My first college degree was in Liberal Arts; I studied Poetry and Music before switching over to Business. Now I work in Human Resources, specifically specializing in Staffing and Employee relations. Basically I'm the person who does the hiring, the firing, and the babysitting between those two points. I have been veg for 1 1/2 years, which has resulted in much joking from my friends on the Apollo. Because I work in a stressful industry, I am big on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy practicing Hot Yoga throughout the week to get a great workout while relieving stress. When I am not working at my full time job or working out, I am also in the process of opening up a business with my best friend. I also do quite a bit of volunteer work whenever possible because I believe in giving back.
===Generic Information===
Those who know me, whether in RL or in OOC chats, know that I have a strange sense of humor, which is a genetic trait apparently because everyone on the one side of my family has the very same sense of humor. Those who know me in RL also know that I have a strange addiction to dying my hair. Most of my friends have never seen my natural hair color. That is an extremely sad fact. I always end up back to my red hair, though.
 
Sometimes I enjoy making people uncomfortable. I have no idea where this comes from, but I find it highly amusing.

I have been vegetarian for over 10 years and was vegan for 3, which resulted in much joking from my friends on the Apollo.
While I tend to read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy or business books, currently I am reading "Little House: The First Five Novels" (I am on the first of the five, which is "Little House in the Big Woods").

===My History with Gaming===
 
I have been big on gaming since I was a kid. Growing up, my friends and I created the equivalent of what I now know is known as LARPing. We each had our own characters and we would make up quests that we would play out. From there I got into video games. I am a Nintendo-girl myself, so I played a lot of Zelda, DK, Mario, etc. and I never really moved on from there. I still play the old school games instead of the newer ones. I dabbled with computer games, but I typically would play on my friends computers and not my own (system requirement issues, ftl). I also enjoy Table Top games.
 
Back in the 90s, one of my Trekker friends told me about this thing called a "PBeM" for Star Trek. Soon after I was an addict. I was on three different ships at one point (fun fact: one of the characters was named T'Mar and had striking similarities to my SB118 character of the same name, although she was not Betazoid). I was a Captain on one of the ships, however the ships soon reached the common fate for many of those ships: one by one the members started leaving and soon there was not enough to keep the ships going. In the early 2000s, one of the ships (the USS Cavalry- formerly part of the BravoFleet) attempted a comeback and it gave me a taste for the simming world once more, but about a year later it had reached the same fate again. Despite my desire to play with that group that had become like family, I knew a third attempt would never happen. Around that point I was in high school anyways and switched over to gaming and shenanigans with my friends. The PBeM world quickly faded away as I began growing up and thinking about my future.  
 
Fast forward to the summer of 2012. I was working at two different internships, both of which had a lot of down time, due to being unpaid work. While I was working, I realized that my typing was much slower than the days where I was posting on three ships for fun (I averaged well over 100wpm back then). It started as an idea to help me increase typing speed, but I quickly realized I missed the action and even more, the friends that came with PBeMs. A quick google search brought me to UFOP and without taking any time to talk myself out of it, I signed up. There would be no going back from there...

==IC Goals==
===OOC Timeline (Promotion and LOA dates)===


It is my goal to have T'Mar continue rising up the ranks. I would like to at least make Lt. Commander and XO, however I'd like to end up at Commander and settle there for awhile before eventually taking on the role of Captain.
*Ship: [[USS Apollo]] 238908.21
I also want to delve more into T'Mar's internal conflict with the battle over logic or empathy. Vulcan or Betazoid. I have yet to decide if she will choose to accept her emotions, but that is the fun of writing for her.
*Main Character: T'Mar 238908.21
If my work/life schedule will allow it, I would love to have Loleh become a secondary character an develop her more, although I have not put much thought into her inner workings like I have with T'Mar. It would be fun to play a character that I could wing it with and not have the constraints of suppressing emotions.

About Me

Generic Information

Here's where I guess I get to tell you all more about me. In case you were curious or something. I was born and raised in the Metro DC area. My dad brought me up with Star Trek so I have been watching since I can remember. I also enjoy writing. My first college degree was in Liberal Arts; I studied Poetry and Music before switching over to Business. I have a MBA in HR and currently I work in Human Resources for a Behavioral Healthcare company. I have been vegetarian for over 10 years and was vegan for 3, which resulted in much joking from my friends on the Apollo.

Those who know me, whether in RL or in OOC chats, know that I have a strange (to put it nicely) sense of humor, which is a genetic trait apparently because everyone on the one side of my family has the very same sense of humor.
