	• Personal Information

			Interests ⮟

• Rock Climbing: Having fallen in love with the activity during her youth, Cass absolutely loves taking on a challenge of a mountain. A mountain doesn't have emotions. It doesn't have feelings and she can just focus on herself and the challenge of the climb.
• Cave Exploring: Another activity she found and enjoyed during her time on both Vulcan and Earth. Spelunking through caves and enjoying the excitement of just seeing what she can find and see.
• Rock Collecting: In no way does Cass collect rocks for a scientific research standpoint, but mostly just for the 'that's a beautiful rock and I can name what cave I found it in' standpoint.

			Style ⮟

• Hair: Typically kept cut short to just above her shoulders. Somewhat a wavy reference to the short cut hairs she had seen on Vulcan's but with her own comfortable twist. Even though she has long been away from Vulcan, she understands that longer hair is just illogical and annoying. So long enough to style a bit but short enough to where it is not a hassle.
• Clothing in General: Due to her strong empathy ability in regards to touch, Cassidy is constantly covered along her arms, legs, and hands. Rarely is she seen without being covered. Even in off duty outfits she is seen wearing long sleeves and full length pants. The only part of her skin showing is her face and neck. No matter what she is doing, she's got gloves on unless it is completely inconvenient. If she has to wear outfits that have less things covered, she'll do her best to not touch a single person.
• Work Outfit: Cassidy has the pant uniform for engineers and a steady pair of gloves that help with her engineering activities in the fact that they are designed to have decent gripping and include decent heat protection.
• Off Duty Outfits: She is constantly seen in comfortable and slightly stylish long sleeve sweaters and black pants. They are usually form fitting pants with the loose comfortable top. Though she has been seen in form fitting long sleeve shirts when working out. The gloves are also a mainstay, though instead of only having black, she also has other colors of the same style of glove she wears while working with the grip and heat protective qualities. These are just a bit more stylish.

	• Relationships

Father An engineer at a warp technologies company that was part of the major reason why Cass fell in love with engineering as a field at a young age. She was included in anything he could include her in and promoted her learning about various topics within engineering. Focusing on the knowledge of understanding what she did not understand. He assisted in her taking apart machines and interfaces, letting her take it apart and learn what each component did within the system before the two worked to put it back together. He is also the main individual that took care of and taught Cassidy due to her mother's focus on her career within Oceanography.

Mother A oceanographer who spent as much time as possible working on her job. She was not the most attentive mother and would travel more often than not, especially if they were living somewhere that wasn't near the oceans of the planet. Family was second to her job, though when she was home, it was clear she loved her daughter and husband. Just the ocean called and where his work had taken him, kept her from staying with her family.

	• History

			Pre-Starfleet ⮟

Cassidy Warren was born and raised for 6 years on Velestus to Ricard and Melanie Warren. The small Centauran family was happy while living there. At this time Melanie was an attentive mother, who shared a healthy work life balance of spending time at home before going back to work on her Oceanography endeavors with other scientists in the area they lived in. Ricard had a nice job with one of the local engineering companies and did the same. When both were busy, family took care of the young girl.

Around the age of 6, Ricard Warren was offered a job at a Warp Technologies company based on Vulcan. This being an opportunity of his lifetime this far, Ricard asked if his family would move. At first Melanie was all for it. Till she looked further into it and realized her husband was asking an Oceanographer to move to a desert planet. She begrudgingly accepted and the family moved. Taking up a small residence on the planet and began working with their daughter to make sure she would be prepared for the culture shock of growing up on Vulcan.

It was different for Cass, but she learned and was an intelligent child, so she made due as she grew up. But her mother on the other hand, never found her footing among the desert planet and took up a job off world. Traveling here and there Cassidy's whole childhood from there on. Being a Mother to the young girl that was not constantly present. At first, this was stressful for the young girl, however, she eventually got into a rhythm and was closer to her Father for it.

Cassidy, while a Centauran among Vulcans, eventually found her footing in schooling and worked her hardest to keep up with her fellow students. There were some problems growing up in the thin atmosphere and warm planet for the two Centauran's over the years but the adapted and worked through it. The whole time between the logic focus of everything on the planet and the sharing of the enjoyment of engineering from her father, it was clear where Cassidy wanted to go with her life. Engineering!

Though that was a few years off as Cass still needed to finish her primary education on Vulcan. So she kept working along side her classmates, becoming close with several that she had been with the majority of their schooling. While a reserved young woman, Cass was free to show some emotions even though her friends did not often. But they welcomed her light shows of emotion, at least she believed so as they continued to include her and communicate with her in the standard Vulcan friendly manner.

There was one day during her last year of schooling, Cassidy and her friends were out at a park studying and talking. Cass reached over to touch a friend, Vantis, on the arm which was bare at the time. Instead of it being a normal touch, something happened to the young Centauran as instead of just feeling the warmth of the Vulcan's skin, she felt everything. Every emotion. Every cadence of strong emotions that were shoved beneath a surface of logic. It was as if she was mentally attached to the rapid river of emotions that made up her friend. The sudden onslaught of emotions caused Cassidy to collapse and grab her own head. Her concerned friends reached out to help her only for her to quickly try and get away, holding her head as their emotions hit her in waves at every touch. She couldn't control the wave of information on every feeling from the Vulcan's. So she just ran once she could control herself enough to do so. Ran home as quickly as possible.

Father and Daughter worked through what the awakening of her empathic abilities meant and booked a trip back to Velestus to work with a specialist on the planet. It was learned that her abilities were strong, ones that could peer into emotions of another in a deep manner upon touch. It was learned that if someone prepared and blocked her natural mental emotional searching upon touch, that she could touch them and feel barely anything or the emotions at the forefront of the persons focus. However, not everyone knew how to keep themselves closed off. The Vulcan's being people with strong emotions that they kept controlled was a terrifying first example of her ability. Though since and with the help of those on Velestus, she learned to work with the ability.

Eventually once she was comfortable, they moved back to Vulcan. Though with the fear of touching someone present, Cass' friends provided her gloves and ideas on clothing for the warmth of Vulcan to help keep her from accidentally touching someone from occurring hopefully. Once the young woman finished school, Cassidy applied and was accepted into Starfleet Academy.

			Starfleet ⮟

Cassidy Warren joined Starfleet Academy on Earth where she greatly enjoyed the adventure that was life on this planet. Between school, Cass focused on herself. Getting comfortable with her now nearly constant covered form and the adventures she did while planet side. These included rock climbing and cave exploring throughout the various areas she could. Though she made sure to pay attention to her school work, though having grown up the daughter of a man who worked on warp engines for a living and who grew up enrolled in Vulcan schools, she had an easier run of things at academy.

Upon her graduation from Academy, she was assigned as an engineering officer aboard the USS Charleston. There she served for two years where she excelled as a engineering ensign. Eventually though she wanted a change of pace and applied for a transfer to a new ship in a new region of the universe. With everything terrible that occurred during Frontier Day, she was transferred upon the conclusion to the USS Astraeus.
