Personality/Temperament
Antero has a generally playful personality, and loves to be active. He is easily bored but if he is involved in something of interest or concern, almost nothing can distract him from it. He is great with kids and people often joke that it’s because he is still is one. Antero enjoys being the center of attention and can often be found juggling random objects or playing his Ukulele for the entertainment of others at social events (and the occasional less appropriate moment…). True to his Risian heritage, Antero is a very peaceful and amicable person. He is uncomfortable around hostility or aggression but can overcome this in a dangerous situation, especially if others are threatened. He is also very athletic and tends to be competitive.
- Moral & Personal Philosophy: Antero takes the Risian value of “All that is ours is yours” to heart. He is exceedingly generous, even with strangers.
- Relationships: Antero has yet to be involved in any long term relationships. However, he has had many adventures during his time on Risa, where his family owns a resort on Suraya Bay. He is no stranger to Jamaharon, and quickly established a bit of a reputation upon his arrival at the Academy. He has since worked with an Academy Interspecies Psychologist and Sexology/Gender studies expert to better understand cultural limitations and find a comfortable guideline of restraint.
- Habits: Wakes up early to work out every morning that he can. Using a holodeck program when time allows.
- Favorite Foods: Tolerates most food and is very adventurous with trying new things. Sweet foods are his favorite.
- Dislikes: Alvanian Brandy (doesn’t want to talk about it)
- Hobbies/Talents: Surfing, Rock Climbing, Backpacking, Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Cliff Diving, Dancing, Juggling, Making Walking Sticks, Ukulele, Risian Lute
- Traits: Has a considerable lack of inhibition.
- Collections: Keeps a tank of Exotic Fish from various planets.
- Musical Taste: Classic Earth Beach and Island.
- Pets: Many Fish
- Motivation: When his younger brothers vessel goes missing and is suspected destroyed, he vows to do more with his life than to host tourists and compete in surfing competitions. He attempt to fill the void left by the loss of his ambitious brother. Antero also has a great interest and fascination with other cultures and worlds. He considers it the greatest adventure to visit unknown planets and solve the mysteries of the universe.
- Past Achievements: Won several surfing competitions. Antero won third place in Starfleet Academy Marathon.
- Favorite Holodeck Program: Anything involving water or the outdoors.

- Explore the waters of Adru.
- Pass through a stable wormhole.

Education
After coming to the decision to join Starfleet Academy Antero studied long and hard to prepare. He had never taken education seriously in the past but was determined to follow the course. To his own surprise, he was accepted on his first attempt. His scores were by no means record breaking, and he was sure he barely passed the psych test, but he was in. That was enough.
From the moment Antero decided to make a career in Starfleet he knew his path. He signed on as a Helm officer and never regretted it. Although he struggled to keep up with his required Engineering classes, he excelled with Tactics and maneuverability. Even spending extra free time practicing and experiencing the thrill of a fast ship. He was very near to passing with a Premier Distinction, if not for a small incident involving Alvanian Brandy…
Reflecting on his experiences growing up on the vacation world of Risa, Antero had a great fascination with other species and cultures. He spent much of his time getting to know many cadets from various home worlds. Due to this interest, Antero took a few classes in Anthropology and similar sciences just for fun. At the encouragement of his professors, he eventually took the extra steps to complete it as a minor.

- Major: Helm/Navigation

Key Figures
|
Loralai Mother |
Age: 59 Antero's mother has two great motivations, her children and her work. A long time owner of the resort passed down by her family, she is ever the caring hostess and puts the comfort of her guests before all else. Her children have been expected to do their share from a young age, and have been raised to always attend to the needs of others. |
|
Hewitt Father |
Age: 71 A top Environmental scientist, Hewitt is a loving father with a dry sense of humor who loves to take his children on archaeological adventures. Since the disappearance of Aurelio, he has become much more withdrawn and secluded. Sometimes taking extended trips, claiming scientific exploration. |
|
Aurelio Brother |
Age: 32 A natural environmental scientist, Aurelio is level headed and calm in most situations. He was the first in his family to join Starfleet, much to the chagrin of his father who thought he could make better use of his talents at home. His vessel has since gone missing while on a terraforming mission. |
|
Amara Sister |
Age: 38 As Antero grew up, Amara was always the one to look after her younger siblings, especially with their mother Loralai always very involved with the running of the resort. She now spends much of her time working at the resort herself and many expect the business will someday be handed down to her. She has a very hospitable nature, even among Risians, and is seldom found relaxing herself. |
|
Calla Sister |
Age: 31 Calla is very gentle hearted and peaceful. She is a Master of Risian relaxation techniques and often holds sessions at the resort. She is almost always smiling, and loves to laugh. |
|
Naava Sister |
Age: 29 Often found hiking the wilderness of Risa and has developed a deep love of archeology, passed down from their father. She is a painting enthusiast and sometimes brings a canvas on her adventures. She is also a wonderful cook and loves to feed others. |
|
Zaina Sister |
Age: 27 Very bright and even more curious. Zaina loves to know what makes things tick, and isnt afraid to get her hands dirty. She grew up contantly getting into trouble for taking things apart, but almost always succeeding in putting things back together. She has become restless of late, and has considered following in her brothers footsteps and exploring the universe. |
|
Ilona Sister |
Age: 25 Free spirited and adventurous she has been compared to Antero for her thrill seeking behavior, and was often found at his side before he left for Starfleet. Her dream is to be a performer and she loves to sing and dance. |
|
Mirabella Sister |
Age: 14 Perhaps the most spirited of the family, young Mirabella loves to run around the resort and visit with the guests. Her sometimes forward behavior is often met with adoration and doting, much to her frustration. She hopes someday to be big, so that she can tell people what to do, and they will listen. |
|
Mirra Ezo Starbase 118 |
Current Position: Medical Officer The Betazoid doctor has been Antero's best friend from the moment they met at the academy. They love to joke around, and have come to truly care about the well being of one another. Mirra is a source of much support and encouragement to the Risian. Having served together their entire careers, it is common knowledge that they are inseparable. |
|
Rendal Rennyn USS Apollo-A |
Current Position: Operations Officer Meeting aboard the Columbia when Ren was appointed first officer, the two became fast friends during a daring adventure on the snowy resort world of Eschevar. Antero not only looks up to him as a talented pilot and seasoned officer, but as a person of great character as well. After being reassigned together to the Apollo, the two have only become tighter. |
|
Shiarrael Ei-Ihhliae USS Doyle-A |
Current Position: Liaison Officer Antero has had a fondness for the Romulan since the day they met on the Columbia. Never giving into racial mistrust, they developed a strong, yet unique working relationship. The Risian has always found something thrilling about the woman, and does not hesitate to flirt. |
|
Theo Whittaker Starbase 118 |
Current Position: First Officer While serving together on the Columbia, Antero found himself smitten with the then Chief Engineer. After coming to terms with his fear of commitment, the two had a magical but far too brief relationship. They have not spoken since being transferred apart, but Antero hopes to one day rekindle their once strong friendship. |
|
Baylen Anders Starbase 118 |
Current Position: 2nd Officer A fellow Risian, 'Bay' was Antero's best friend growing up. They had many great adventures together and cherish their childhood memories. They have recently reconnected and look forward to staying in touch. |
|
Chythar Skyfire USS Gorkon |
Current Position: First Officer Antero first met Chythar when he proctored his Academy practical exam. He has since looked up to him as a mentor. When the two were briefly assigned to the same vessel, they began to spend time together off duty and became close friends as well. |
|
Tatash Starbase 118 |
Current Position: Marine Liaison Officer One of the first officers Antero met as a fresh Ensign out of the academy, the Gorn made a lasting impression. They quickly became friends and although they did not serve together long, the memory of their adventures carry on. |
