« PERSONAL HISTORY »
Tyler Kelly was born to Dana Ann Kelly in 2363 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 rebellious attitude.
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 2381, 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 the limits of authority within microns of breaking." 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-percentages of his class with a true double-major in Engineering and Advanced Tactical Theory in only 6 years.

« PERSONALITY PROFILE »
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. Despite this, he doesn't have too much trouble making friends and when he is off-duty he tries to cut-loose a little from the rigid structure of his Starfleet life. Romantically, Tyler has been involved in a few relationships, though the strain his career puts on them they have all eventually fizzled out. Because of this he tries to avoid serious relationships and had developed something of a reputation on the USS Constitution for the late night traffic his quarters sometimes received before his transfer.
A psychological profile developed by Starfleet counselors uncovered an almost sub-conscious desire in Tyler to gain the approval of male authority figures. They believe this stems from his growing up without a father. Tyler vehemently denies this and has filed a petition to contest the counselor's report.
Tyler is fiercely loyal to his friends and crewmates, relentless with his enemies and always seems to have 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.
- 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: Coffees, teas (chamomile, mint, spiced chai)
- Favorite Caffeinated Beverage: Raktajino
- Favorite Music Genre: 1980s Earth pop-rock and big-hair bands, Klingon opera
- Favorite Animal: Felis catus
- Words/Phrases used Frequently: "Just that.. ", "What the-- ?", "Seriously?"
- Earliest Memory: rescuing a kitten that had fallen into a ditch while on his way back from school
- Most Influential Person: Madonna, Earth's one-time Queen of Pop - daring to be different, bold, assertive and self-confident
- Ambitions and Goals: long-term - to encourage youths to enroll in Starfleet, someday perhaps to captain a starship of their own; short-term - to become a loving father/brother/mentor to his new crew aboard the USS Atlantis
- Achievements in Life: see Awards & Commendations below
- Disappointments in Life: "Disappointments are necessary for growth and wisdom." One of Raj's biggest disappointments in life is his failure to detect the Morrin virus infection in Addyson Martin's parents, which eventually led to their deaths.
- Temperament: tends to be a tad too serious at times, even melancholic on rare occasions, then hilarious and euphoric the next - what can only be described as wildly bipolar in personality
- Mental problems (complexes and phobias): bouts of self-doubt and low self-esteem, absolutely terrified of roaches, spiders and other creepy-crawlies with long hairy limbs/appendages
- Physical Limitations: Being neither of athletic build nor athletic, Raj tends to shy away from physical sports, especially group contact sports like soccer or rugby. Though he is known to vent out his frustrations fencing with 15th-century French cavaliers in the holodeck.
- Greatest Strength: Loyalty
- Greatest Weakness: Self-doubt
« PROFESSIONAL HISTORY »
In 2387 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.
As an Ensign Tactical 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.
