	Relationships

Name	Ship Posting	Relationship Status	Comments
Wil Ukinix	Amity Outpost	Commanding Officer	His first commander, Harrison thinks he's a bit eccentric, but has the correct ability for the job.
Esma	Amity Outpost	Colleague/Associate	Saved Harrison from certain death for which he's deeply appreciative, his lack of experience with her species leaves their interactions lacking, he's uncertain she considers herself to have friends.
Cassian Iovianus	Amity Oupost	Superior Officer	The first superior officer for Harrison to serve under during active duty and in a live combat situation. He respects the Chief of Security, deeming him a suitable officer to potentially shadow in future.
Kaito Moore	Amity Outpost	Colleague/Friend	They served together for the first time during the conflict with the Betazed Empire and apparently worked quite well in unison, its created an easy transition into the beginning of a work friendship.
Harrison Kiani	Amity Outpost	Colleague/Friend	Perhaps the kindest and most approachable of the 'Ensign Mafia' group he's become involved with. Harrison finds Harrison the most easy going and friendly of the peer group, if a little excitable at times.
Cara Veers	Amity Outpost	Colleague/Friend	Harrison always finds himself a little more attuned to Veer's voice during the group discussions, having developed something of an appreciation for her intelligence and general presence.
Nathan Richards	Amity Outpost	Superior Officer	The pair's first interaction involved Nathan firing at Harrison's shuttle, so immediately a strange one. Harrison gets a competitive vibe from their first interaction, but with a friendly hint to it.

	PERSONALITY

Harrison Blackwood could be described by some as unwavering in his dedication to his career and a deep respect for the chain of command. He exemplifies the ideals of StarFleet through his commitment to personal growth, work ethic and innate passion for exploration and service. This ambition is tempered by a willingness to adopt a sense of camaraderie with his fellow officers, but due to previous experiences this seems to be a continuous quest as he battles a sense of balance between keeping his seclusions and making friends.

Strengths - Harrison is driven and ambitious, possessing an innate drive that fuels his desire for advancement and excellence. He is equipped with a clear determination to improve his skills, knowledge and best each performance after the other to set an example. He will constantly seek out opportunities and challenging tasks to demonstrate his ability to his commanders. One of his other strengths is his respectful adherence to the chain of command, understanding the important of recognizing his superiors to create a more efficient working environment and effective operation. He's since learned to expression his thoughts and concerns in a respectful manner within the hierarchy of command, showcasing better communication skills than one might expect from an Ensign.

Weaknesses - Undoubtedly Harrison suffers a relentless pursuit of perfection which leads to overcommitment, which in his desire to excel in all aspects of his work could cause him to burnout in some situations. Like a double-edged sword the Ensign's notable respect for the chain of command presents issues when voicing an opinion at the decision of a superior officer in a mission scenario that might otherwise be to the benefit of the team.

	Hobbies and Skills

Horse Riding - Since being a youth Harrison has engaged in the beloved activity, particularly as a competitive sport between the ages of 16-18, his own Mars (8) , an Arabian Thoroughbred.

Archery -  Again, another youthful hobby which Harrison picked up between the ages of 14-16 as a competitive sport and keeps to practicing at current.

Languages: Federation Standard, Romulan, Vulcan and Latin (To read).

	History

Born in London, England. ‘Harry’ was raised in Knightsbridge, one of the most expensive and extravagant neighbourhoods in the world. His family, the Blackwoods, cherished a past with Starfleet as both his parents were well accomplished science officers during their career.

His father led an R&D department at StarBase 19 (II), meanwhile, his mother was a dedicated weapons technician at an experimental testing site. Both met, fell in love, and retired to their home planet before having their three children. Years later despite pressure from both mother and father, Harrison turned away from a career path in science to pursue his own interests.

He left England at 16 and travelled to the United States of America to enrol. It was four tough years of training at the San Francisco Starfleet Academy and additional officer training courses.
