« PERSONAL HISTORY »

Tyler Kelly was born to Dana Ann Kelly in 2360 at Antista Medical Center in the Utopia Planitia Colony, Mars. His mother worked at a supply plant manufacturing parts for the Federation shipyards located there. Kelly's father (and consequently his precise genetic heritage) are unknown, but he is presumed to be full Terran. Kelly's mother worked hard to support the two, often working long hours and leaving him at home with little supervision when he was not at school. Left to his own devices Kelly spent roughtly equal time studying and causing trouble around the residential sector of the colony. He maintained good grades all through grade school, despite developing something of a reputation for his open disdain for social norms.

After Graduating, and much consideration, he decided to apply to Starfleet Academy. Though many openly doubted that Kelly would be able to successfully conform to such a rigid organization. Having spent his whole life watching the Starfleet ships come and go from the Utopia shipyards with fascination, it seemed like it only made sense for him to try.

Kelly was accepted into Starfleet Academy in the Fall of 2378, despite his numerous disciplinary notations his academic achievements proved sufficient. Kelly adapted quite well to Academy life and managed to avoid major complications. Though some of his professors claim that he sometimes "Purposely tested their limits." Despite this, no one could argue with his academic results, his propensity for calculated risk had become his trademark and he managed to graduate in the upper-percentile of his class with a true double-major in Engineering and Counter-Intelligence in only 5 years.

« PERSONALITY PROFILE »

Tyler Kelly in his quarters on the USS Atlantis

Tyler's personality is considered very divisive by those who know him. Rarely shying away from speaking his mind, he's often the one who isn't afraid to tell people what they may not want to hear. This tends to elicit very binary reactions from those he interacts with; the either appreciate his brevity or think him rude for his lack of sensitivity. As a result of this he often has trouble making friends, while not socially awkward, Kelly does tend prefer solitude over a crowd if he has a choice. Romantically, Tyler has been involved in a few relationships, though because of the strain his career puts on them, they have all eventually fizzled out. As a result he tries to avoid serious relationships and on his previous ships he developed something of a reputation for the traffic his quarters received during late night hours.

Tyler Kelly is fiercely loyal to his friends and crewmates, relentless with his enemies and always seems to come up with a plan when he's backed into a corner.

  • Kelly's Quarters: Spartan and clean, with only a few personal affects. These mostly consist of souvenirs of the places and people he's seen during his career.
  • Habits: Tyler has a tendency to fidget when he's been seated for too long. This usually manifests in him bouncing his knee subtly under the table.
  • Mannerisms: Generally friendly, but when faced with a difficult task, he can get a little too single-minded and forego some common courtesies.
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: None. He tries to live by his own moral code, which usually consists of checking his actions against the phrase "Don't be a ****." [Expletive Deleted]
  • Hobbies and Pastimes: Maintaining marksmanship and proficiency with all standard-issue Starfleet weapons systems, Criminal Mystery Holo-simulations, and reading. Tyler earned a black-belt in Vulcan Jiu-Jitsu after becoming interested in hand to hand combat during Starfleet Academy combat training.
  • Likes: Honest people, a good story, bleeding-edge technology, weapons of all types, and women.
  • Dislikes: Superficial and dishonest people, being bogged down by regulations, not getting to finish what he started.
  • Favorite Color: Red and Black, something about the way the colors go together.
  • Favorite Scents: The disrupted atmosphere smell of phaser-fire, real or realistically replicated flame cooked meat, and New Vegas No.5 perfume.
  • Favorite Cuisine: Steaks from the Terran cow or buffalo, flame grilled vegetables and hearty soups.
  • Favorite Alcoholic Drink: Traditionally prepared Hefeweizen beer.
  • Favorite Non-alcoholic Drinks: Sweet tea served with ice in the style of the former Southern United States region.
  • Favorite Caffeinated Beverage: Coffee
  • Favorite Music Genre: Progressive Electronic and Frequency Mod music.
  • Favorite Animal: Sehlat
  • Words/Phrases used Frequently: "You've got it." "Frack." "I'm on it." and "We'll see how it goes."
  • Most Influential Person: James Kirk, for his ability to make difficult calls in times of extreme duress and always find away to come out consistently victorious.
  • Ambitions and Goals: To climb through ranks of Starfleet and eventually command his own ship.
  • Disappointments in Life: The failure of his relationship with Emelia Kriege on the Constitution. He always wonders if there was something he could have done differently.
  • Greatest Strength: Unrelenting Tenacity.
  • Greatest Weakness: Ignoring the greater scope when focused on a specific problem.

Tyler Kelly at the Tactical Console on the USS Constitution

Starting in 2383 Tyler Kelly served aboard the USS Constitution NCC-9012-B, in the Trinity-Serellian Defense Fleet operating out of Starbase 118. As a part of the TSDF, the Constitution participated in many critical missions along side the Starbase's primary support vessel the USS Victory.

Galaxy Class USS Constitution-B

As an Ensign Tactical/Security Officer, Tyler Kelly performed his duties with efficiency and skill and showed considerable initiative. However, he displayed a tendency for making potentially risky decisions in the heat of the moment. Despite this fact, he consistently resolved these situations with a favorable outcome. This, understandably, irked many of his superior officers and likely resulted in his longer than usual time as an Ensign. Eventually his effort and proficiency did merit promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade.

On 239104.16, Kelly was transferred to the USS Atlantis NCC-74682 and assigned to the position of Security Officer under the Command of Cmdr. Raj Blueheart. He arrived just in time to take part in a diplomatic mission to escort a Grenushi ambassador around the treacherous Jenatris Cloud to Uzoka 4. The situation proved to be even more complex when it was revealed that the "gifts" that the ambassador bore were actually living creatures that seemed to be composed of the very cloud itself. Things came to a head when a militant activist group attacked the Atlantis in order to try and free the captured Jenatris animals. It was discovered that the creatures had an powerful effect on anyone with with any kind of extra sensory perception, causing injury and headaches. During this mission, Tyler worked closely with the science and engineering departments to develop a device that shielded the tele/empathic crew members from the effects of the Jenatris creatures. The device was called the J-SIN (Jenatris Sonic Impulse Neutralizer).

On 239110.14 Tyler Kelly was transferred to the USS Columbia as a Security Officer under the command of Commander Ben Livingston. He quickly found himself thrown headlong into an investigation about the murder of a pair of colonists the Columbia was transporting at the time. Tyler "hit the ground running" so to speak and hadn't even been on the ship for a full 24 hours before he was interviewing his first suspect.

Columbia Mission: Settle For Less

His first mission on the Columbia proved to be a very difficult one. The Columbia was charged with transporting over 100 colonists and their colony pod to the planet of Pernipia Gamma IV but they encountered trouble while en route. After an intensive investigation Kelly charged the prospective leader of the colony, Robert Carson, with the deaths of two colonists who had apparently uncovered his plot to illegally mine a rare mineral from the planet. This was only the start of the trouble, as Carson claimed then claimed he had diplomatic immunity and was later discovered to be an extremely well trained Section 31 operative as well as the brother of a highly placed Admiral. Tyler Kelly and the crew had only begun to address the issue when Carson's aide, Gerard, sabotaged critical systems and broke Carson out of the brig. The pair eventually raided the bridge and took Commander Livingston and the bridge crew hostage. Kelly, with the help of Ensign Heath Story and LtJG Adara Bentley, set up a diversion and raided the bridge. The hostages were freed, but Carson, Gerard and Chief Tactical Officer Vitor Silveira were beamed to a Cargo Hold due to a miscommunication with the Ops department. It was in the Cargo bay where Silveira, Kelly, Carson and Gerard had one last battle. During a heated melee, Silveira was stabbed, Gerard was rendered unconscious and Kelly received a thorough beating from Carson. In the end, Kelly had been nearly strangled to death by Carson when Silveira had summoned the last of his strength to toss him a phaser. Kelly fired the phaser into Carson's chest at point blank range, ending the man's reign of terror and his life.

With all of the threats resolved, the mission was completed successfully and the crew of the Columbia enjoyed a brief Shore Leave on Pernipia Gamma IV. During an Awards Ceremony, Tyler Kelly was promoted to Lieutenant Commander by Commander Ben Livingston and was given the position of Chief of Security in addition to several awards and commendations for his performance during the mission.

« NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS »


Vitor Silveira - Tyler and Vitor became fast friends after the two bonded over a training session on the Holodeck. Tyler sees a lot of himself in Vitor and considers him to be one of the few remaining "War-like old dinosaurs" like him in Starfleet. During the Battle For The Columbia, Tyler was nearly strangled to death by a highly trained enemy combatant but Vitor intervened and not only saved his life but enabled him to defeat the adversary. Tyler believes he will forever be in debt to Vitor for this and considers the man one of his closest friends.
