PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personality

  • Lieutenant Thomas, while still being a young officer, has climbed quickly through the ranks and has no intention of stopping just yet. Currently serving as Engineering Officer, Kael is always eager to get his hands dirty and to get every bit of plasma out of the warp core. With his new assignment, and reduction in rank, the Lieutenant is quite sure there are many more journeys awaiting him.
  • Spends very little time Idle. When not in Engineering(like any good engineering officer) he is often in the Holodeck or In the ships Gym seeking to keep himself physically active. Kael will often find companionships through a common interest in sports or physical hobbies.
  • Quarters: Located on Deck 2 Kael has not yet had time to modify his quarters to his needs.
  • Habits:
    • Has a habit of expecting perfection. He tolerates fools, but if you say you can do it, he expects you to be able to do it well.
    • Tends to have a habit of leaving his Engineering reports to the last minute. He's yet to have his First Officer track him down yet.
  • Presence: Kael gets on well with people, when he shares a common goal, or interest. Kael often finds it difficult to initiate conversations.
  • Temperament: To the point. Kael doesn't really beat around the bush. While he understands tact, if a job has to be done, and it involves speaking the truth he's got no problem doing it. Kael tends to be an introvert while not on duty.
  • Physical Limitations: He cannot put his leg behind his head.

Likes & Dislikes

  • Likes:
    • Shoreleave
    • Daily Structure
    • Non-Replicated Food
    • The Piano. Something Kael usually Kept to himself and something he never really has time for today. Kael often found playing the Piano a good relief when he needed it.
    • He has always enjoyed sports, and finds his engineering job much easier if he is in peak physical condition. During times off in missions, Kael will find himself quite often in the gym, or playing hologames.
  • Dislikes: Counselors. Kael never had any belief that you needed to talk to a counselor to sort out what life has dealt you. Kael felt learning to deal with your problems you own way and with the support of close friends was far more beneficial. He also has a clear problem with Sickbay. Sure if he genuinely has to go there, but regular checkups? He never did understand why. Can't we cure most things now anyway?
  • Favorite Room: Engineering/Gymnasium

Ambitions & Goals

  • Ambitions and Goals: Kael ultimately wants the big chair eventually. He's not entirely sure he wants it just yet, as Engineering is far more exciting and hands on.
  • Achievements in Life: Becoming Chief Engineer on the Ursa Major, a sovereign class vessel was a major milestone for Kael. While his posting didn't last long, he felt enormously happy that Admiral Hollis trusted him enough to be capable.
  • Disappointments in Life: Not having much of a personal life.

Hobbies & Pastimes

  • White Water Rafting - Something he likes to do on Earth, or in the Holodeck where possible. Always, upping the difficulty ever so slightly each time.
  • Keeping Fit
  • Keeping up to date with Starfleet Engineering Journals. Kael is in fact looking to post his own Journal in the near future. He is currently working on a theory to negate the effects that Subspace Damage has on the warp drive.
 
Kael off duty.

Family

  • Mother: Jolaina Thomas, Administration Officer for Romulan Affairs
  • Father: Reynold Thomas, Personal Assistant to Chief Operations Earth
  • Siblings: Anthony Thomas, Chief Tactical Officer USS FAIRFAX
 
Kael and Anthony at the Academy, 2380

Personal History

Kael Mason Thomas was born on the 19th November 2356 in a small country house just outside San Francisco. 2 Minutes later his twin brother Anthony was born. It was a close fitting house only just accommodating his family. His mother and father both working in Starfleet administration chose to lead a home life that was a little less like their work. Their home having as much traditional equipment as they could afford to have. Kael’s parents both worked in High level Starfleet administration so you could probably say that Kael grew up living and breathing Starfleet. Kael and his younger brother Anthony both spent a lot of time running around their parents feet while at work, silently pushing buttons when buttons weren’t meant to be pushed.

Kael spent almost all his youth with his younger brother. Kael and Anthony grew such an impenetrable relationship that many simply thought they were best friends if they didn't look identical. They were both very competitive, always trying to outdo each other, often putting each other in danger. I don’t think neither Kael nor Anthony had any real choices with what they wanted to do with their lives. Their parents always had more time for their work then they had for them. Their parents often work well into the night or leaving to visit Romulus or some other planet. Having been raised with pure Starfleet parents they were pretty much enrolled into the academy at birth. Kael and Anthony were both very physical boys and both very frequently found the boredom of sitting in class very difficult.

Kael graduated with Distinctions from the academy and despite such an achievement his parents were still too busy working to attend their sons Graduation ceremony. It was that night that Kael had a tremendous fight with his parents basically telling them as far as he was concerned he didn’t need parents. Kael and Anthony received assignments to different vessels not long after graduation. Kael was given an assignment as an engineering officer aboard the USS VICTORY and Anthony was sent off to the USS IRISH a nova class vessel. Both have been in regular contact, Kael even taking some time off active duty to spend with his brother. Anthony still speaks to his parents where years have passed and Kael has barely spoken a word to them.

Kael's older and only brother Anthony is currently serving on the USS FAIRFAX. Serving as Chief Tactical Officer. Anthony is more like a best mate to Kael then brothers. They are very close, and often communicate with each other.



PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION



Education

Kael entered Starfleet’s advanced engineering division after graduating from the Academy. Kael while there chose his sub majoring thesis as Bio-Neural Gelpacks. This was the leading factor to his Post on the Victory. His lecturers were either fond of Kael, or frustrated by his constant need to question why something was. Kael had a difficult time working with rules and boundaries that seemed poorly justified. Regardless, Kael graduated well, in the two third of his class, and losing out to his brother.

The USS Victory was Kael's first posting and was posted aboard the Victory on 238010.15. He began work immediately as an Engineering Officer. While on the ship he worked in many departments, for a time was Acting CEO and during the remainder of his time there he was a security officer.

When Victory’s first officer, was given command of her own ship, Kael and several of his other crew members were transferred to the Aurora, a Nova class science vessel. Kael’s immediate posting was that of Chief Operations officer. During his time on the Aurora, Kael received the Voyager Medallion award. A great award as it honours him with excellence in starship operations.

It was during this time that Captain Parker, his CO fell dangerously ill, and despite the best efforts of the crew, and Starbase doctors, passed away. It was a difficult time for Kael and the rest of the Aurora crew.

With their CO no longer in command, Starfleet brought in one of the most experienced men in the fleet. Vice Admiral Hollis, long serving officer and respected amongst the fleet. He took over command of the crew, and their new ship; USS URSA MAJOR A Sovereign class vessel, one of the most advanced in the fleet.

Kael spent several months aboard the URSA Major, before taking some time off, to be with his family. He won't talk about why he had to take time off, but its easy to sense that it wasn't for a pleasant reason.

He was then reassigned back to the Ursa Major, mid mission, to only then be reassigned again to the USS Tiger.

After serving a short time on the tiger, Kael was once again re-assigned to the USS Ronin. A family emergency brought Kael away from the Starfleet career he held so dear to be with them. Kael then returned to the USS Mercury. He served there for several months, and even managed to get kidnapped during an away mission. His time there earned him a promotion back up the ladder to Lieutenant JG. He has since transferred to the USS Vigilant serving as Chief Engineer. Kael has no plans on leaving the Vigilant, and intends on developing some strong connections with the crew. Something he's failed to do in his previous postings.
