Manner
- Quarters: His lieutenant's quarters are much roomier than the ones he shared with Greyson, the desk is covered in his chain mail projects and the small coffee table contains an incense burner. The air either smells like jasmine or sandalwood, depending on the incense. On the table is an LED candle for meditation purposes.
The closet contains 1 jacket, which is Chythar's: black leather motorcycle jacket with the Starbase 118 patch on one sleeve and the USS Excalibur-A patch on the other.
- Favorite Room: His quarters.
- Habits:
- Reading books
- chewing on pencils
- Mannerisms:
- When hyperfocused tends to talk fast and in another language.
- Chythar handles stress differently than most linguists. He creates a cipher that he distributes to his friends -- and depending on what language the letter is written in determines what point in his stress level he's at. One would have to know him well enough to comprehend this cryptic tactic first. Subconsciously, he may not realize he's writing in a 'panic' language' until told by the person who received his letter.
- CD tries to focus on literature during his time off, and occasionally makes obscure literary references to things like Dante's Inferno when he's stressed. Sometimes will lapse into another language while making one of said references.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Follower of Ceiling Cat.
- Hobbies and Pastimes:
- Making chainmail
- reading.
- Likes:
- Chainmail
- Reading
- Jokes
- Socializing
- Dislikes
- Being by himself when there are conversations to be had
- Ambitions: Maybe one day, a command position.
- Goals: None at present.
- Achievements in Life:
- Surviving Med school.
- Surviving Starfleet Academy.
- Disappointments in Life:
- Never being able to spend time with his mother.
- Pressure under fire. He still feels the trauma from freezing during med school.
- Temperment: Fairly mild mannered, usually only gets angry when he's stressed. If someone consistently asks "How's it coming?" when he's working on a project, he may lapse into another language as a coping method.
- Mental problems (complexes and phobias):
- Mediocre self-esteem/inferiority complex: He pulls it together when his life or the life of his crew is threatened and tries harder than he needs to. His issue stems mostly from not being able to fit in or find friends.
- Never talks about his family, due to not having them anymore.
- Asperger's Syndrome. He never talks about it.
- Loneliness complex -- doesn't find friends easily, has a harder time making friends.
- Has trust issues with counselors, because soon as he finds one he likes, they usually disappear.
- Physical Limitations: Left wrist is braced occasionally to prevent re-injury.
Chythar Before Starfleet
Born on Earth, raised going to public schools by his father. Calvin did his best to raise the boy after his birth. Captain Skyfire did what she could to raise the boy before she was recalled to negotiate peace on Romulus when Chythar was 12.
As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. Captain Skyfire remained on Romulus until the planet was destroyed. Prior to his years at Starfleet, he grew up loving to read anatomy books and spent a good deal of time thinking about what would happen if he ever joined the academy to take after his mother.
Once he graduated high school, he took it upon himself to head to University of Washington where he graduated as an MD. It wasn't until much later that he even realized he wanted to become a medic; namely after meeting and interacting with Ryoji Chibitsu, who knew Chythar better than the lad knew himself.
Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring.
The fact he is in Starfleet now is almost ironic, given how much he hates Starfleet Command for robbing him of his mother's time. She died while on a Starfleet assignment, so he feels conflicted between his addiction to work in medicine and his duty to the uniform.
