Relationships
Just starting out on his first assignment, Ensign Martel is feeling out his new colleagues.
He has a very close relationship with his parents, his father Robert has managed to not only be an advisor and mentor to David, but has managed to be a true friend.
His mother,Jennifer, has been the calming influence in David's life. She taught him to see beauty and that while aspiring to be a soldier was honorable and good, there was more to life then tactics and marksmanship. Most importantly, she did the most of anyone to teach David to laugh.
David's younger brother Aaron has just been accepted into Starfleet Academy, though Aaron has been drawn into more scientific pursuits, particularly in the fields of molecular biology and nanotechnology. While David is considered an intelligent and even somewhat gifted, Aaron is a downright genius and they have debated the direction Starfleet should take, at times heatedly. Despite this they remain close.
David's youngest brother Adam is something of an enigma, even to David. They have a solid enough relationship, but Adam is somewhat socially awkward and keeps to himself. Apparently he has shown promise in the field of warp engineering, but has shown little of the interest in Starfleet that his older brother's have. However, Adam is only 16 and time will tell on what path he takes in life.
Background
Born on Starbase 96, David grew up around Starfleet. His father was a member of Starfleet Intelligence for well over 20 years. His mother was as well but decided to give up her commission to raise her children and pursue a writing career. Having grown up on Starbases and starships, Martel never wavered in his desire to join Starfleet.
Though his parents pedigree was Intelligence, Martel's interest in everything martial made it inevitable he would gravitate towards the Tactical or Security fields.
He has avidly played hockey since childhood as well as participated in various martial arts. He spent most of his formative years on the icy colony world of Astalon Prime, where his family settled after his father retired from Starfleet Intelligence.
His parents fell in love with the world while his father served his last assignment at the Starfleet Intelligence base there, despite the heavier gravity. The gravity of Astalon Prime also had the effect of somewhat strengthening David's already heavy musculature.
Interests
A bit of an amateur historian, Martel has a particular interest in military history and is an admirer of the Roman Legions. He also enjoys sparring with holographic opponents and warlike holo simulations involving ancient times, not always Earth's either.
His favorite downtime activity is playing what he cryptically calls his "walking tank simulation", usually on his PADD but preferably on a holosuite.
