• Eyes: Are the window to the soul. His most expressive feature.
• Mouth: Has all his teeth!  :)
• Arms:
• Legs:
• Carriage: Posture is usually good.
• Poses: Has a classic smile that says "Who, me?" Other than that, unless presenting himself for a higher ranking officer, he remains semi-casual.
• Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Sport-style clothes made of comfortable cloth for off-duty time. Blues tend to suit him best. He is usually able to mimic successfully any style for the area he is traveling to. He can fit in at an Earth college just as easily as he can at a Klingon sporting event. His style can change as quickly as his mood, but he is particularly fond of leather.
• Shoes: Either comfortable sneaker styles, or heavy clod-stomping boots.
• Voice: A pleasant tenor, but not annoyingly so. He wrestles with mild dyslexia.
• Handedness: Right-handed

Manor

• Quarters: His quarters are kept without a lot of modification. To say it nicely, it appears 'lived in.' The shelves are covered with pictures of his mother and sisters. One larger photo in particular is of the entire Zubowskivich clan, situated on the steps and porch to their ranch style home. Others include a small herd of doberman, an Appaloosa, and the rabbit that currently lives with him.
• Favorite Room: The one that has food.
• Habits: Tends to partake of alcohol without reservation, though he's usually cautious of drinking should he have a shift coming up.
• Mannerisms:
• Religion/Spiritual Devotion: His family was brought up in a conservative, almost Prodestant nature, but he is not committed to any particular religion at this time. He avoids speaking about the subject. Once fantastically devoted to his families church, he grew away from its influence during his Academy years.
• Hobbies and Pastimes: Soccer and horse-riding are his favorite activities, though he has tried a variety of exciting, often dangerous activities. Skydiving, rockclimbing, skiing, kick-boxing... if its likely to cause damage, he's likely to enjoy doing it.
• Likes: Though he would never admit it, he enjoys dancing, performing, and singing. Stage fright keeps him from doing this more actively.
• Dislikes: Telepaths, generally.
• Ambitions and Goals:
• Achievements in Life:
• Disappointments in Life: His failure at flight training at the Academy, as his initial desire was to become a pilot.
• Temperment: As said best by his pal Kwame, "You either fight with him, or against him." He can swing from friendly to competitive to confrontational in an instant, and finds it nearly impossible to back down from a challenge once it has been presented to him. Though he's been working on controlling his temper, he has been known to start a fight or two at inappropriate times. Other than these less-than-graceful moments, he's an upstanding member of society!
• Mental problems: He is quite uncomfortable around full telepaths that he does not exclusively know well or have experience with. This is due to a back-story relating to his Junior year at the Academy, though there is no official file on the situation. He prefers not to disclose this information. Half telepaths, unless openly displaying thier abilities, are less of a problem for him.
• Physical Limitations: None in particular. Uniquely graceful in zero gravity.

Personal History

Tash was born in a quiet town in Indiana, surrounded by corn and horses. His father died when he was 6, so he has very few memories.

He had a generally happy childhood. Properly educated, but raised very conservative (comparitive to a strict Christian upbringing). He never had a single sex-ed class. He didn't attend his first coed dance until he was 17, and had never seen another species (other than human)until his first day at the Academy.

His choice to go to the Academy was the scandle of his family. Only a few of his sisters understood his decision, as they too had grown out of the confines of their family's traditional lifestyle. Tash looks on his upbringing as a limitation, and often overcompensates by way of celibrations. Though his family often infuriates him, theres nothing more important to him.

Competent, but not intellectually gifted, he is very physically active. He loves skiing, soccer, and horse-riding. He is fairly uncomfortable around telepaths and empaths (which could make for good in-SIMming-conflict). He is easy to surprise, and not too quick on the uptake. His greatest fear is his own failure, for which he berates himself constantly.

During his time at the Academy, he was befriended by a female Klingon that saw potential in him. They spent their evenings practicing combat and shooting in the holodecks. He keeps in contact with her. Because of this he has good knowledge of Klingon culture, much to the dismay of his mother.
