Details

Introduction

A rather quirky and verbose human, Kevin has always been very imaginative and philosophical. This has been both a curse and a blessing in that he can find less than obvious solutions to problems, but often at the expense of the common sense that most other people take for granted.

From an early age Kevin was fascinated with computers and with programming.

Hobbies

• Reading

• Thinking

• Developing software

• Inventing programming languages

• Inventing fictional civilizations

Mannerisms

Kevin's most salient idiosyncratic behaviour is his tendency to pace when thinking or when trying to solve a problem. This is not just any pacing back and forth but a vigourous walk back and forth.

Kevin hates smalltalk and finds it difficult to understand why people would be interested in such things as the weather or the current status of sports teams. As a result, he often drifts into his own thoughts when people talk about anything not related to engineering or the sciences. Of late, however, Kevin has learned to become more interested in other people's small talk as a kind of mechanism to shore up interpersonal relations.

Schooling

During his highschool days, Kevin fell in love with computer programming and decided to work as a programmer the rest of his life.

Kevin attended a small liberal arts college / university for his computer science undergraduate degree. His primary focus there was the application of computers to solve mathematical problems and the application of computers to create fictional realities.

Shortly before graduating, Kevin decided that a life on Earth working as a computer programmer didn't sound as appealing to him as a life exploring. So he applied to and was accepted into Starfleet Academy.

Reputation at the Academy

During his academy days Kevin was well-known for his programming ability. He would, on his spare time, develop programs to augment the entertainment facilities of whichever dorm he happened to be staying in. Attempts by security officers to bar him from accessing the systems tended to result in his hacking around their precautions. Nevertheless, the faculty of the academy did not consider Kevin's security violations serious enough to warrant his dismissal. They also saw his creativity as potentially valuable in the future officer.

Kevin always carried with him a colony of nanites in a container. He saw them as a kind of swiss army knife.

Unorthodox Problem Solving

During his final cadet cruise, Kevin was able to demonstrate the success of Cadet Koloth's appending of long-range sensor data onto the internal sensor inputs by recourse to graph theoretic topological homeomorphisms.

Religious Views

Summary

Religious/spiritual views: atheist(in that he doesn't agree with any organized religion's conception of God) / occasional mystic

Details

Kevin grew up with friends and family whose spirituality was descended from a predominantly protestant Christian background. While occasionally tempted by their sense of community, Kevin never really joined his more conservative friends in their strict adherence to ancient Christian customs, preferring instead a cross between mysticism and atheism as his outlook on matters spiritual.

Once, when asked by a friend why he described himself as an atheist despite believing in God, Kevin said that he was an atheist with respect to most of the versions of God any Christian or other religious person had presented to him.

It was while in college that Kevin's views briefly became a problem. In a speech concerning the Christian communities in the region where his school was located, Kevin condemned the views of most of the members of those communities as out-dated and antiquated, claiming that their view of God was insulting in that it placed someone supposedly awesome enough to have created the entire universe into an Earth-sized box. As a direct result of this speech, Kevin received a formal reprimand on his transcript for inconsiderate and slanderous action.

Since then, Kevin's concerns over spiritual matters have not been much of a concern to him.
