Background
Childhood and Starfleet Academy
As a child Nyka expressed an interest in music and art. While her brother fought many pretend wars in the woods of her home, Nyka spent most of her time drawing, painting and studying nature. In her teens she won awards for her watercolor paintings and was headed for greatness in the art world. She was known as the quiet one in the family. Slow to anger, and well-mannered Nyka was the child her parents never had to worry about.
All was going according to plan in Nyka’s life. She was a star student, graduated with honors, and headed to Starfleet Academy – not for adventure, but for the cultural experience. Two years into Starfleet Academy, Nyka took a cultural trip to Andoria, and that is when things unexpectedly changed for Nyka. With no explanation to her family, friends, and professors she switched majors from the Science and Medicine, to Security, with a minor in Engineering. Her demure demeanor also took a more confident turn. No longer satisfied to remain reclusive in her dorm, she suddenly had an appetite for staying out late, and thrill-seeking. This life-style change prompted clashes with her peers, one of which ended in a bar-room brawl in the classroom.
Nobody knows what the catalyst was that changed Nyka from a soft-spoken artist to a troublesome adventurer, with questionable ethics, but her dedication to Security, and her Engineering know-how has outshined the person she used to be.
Personality and Mannerisms
- Quarters: Organized chaos. A love of weapons and antique vehicles has made her living space look much like a garage and armory. She dabbles in scrap art.
- Habits: Flirting too much. Andorian Brandy too much. Honest too much. Cigars, not enough. Coffee, but only decaf – a girl has to show some restraint after all.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Sure why not. There must be a method to the madness.
- Hobbies and Pastimes: A bit of a restless soul, Nyka enjoys exploring and experiencing everything the universe has to offer.
- Likes: Humor. Trying new things. Did I mention Andorian Brandy?
- Dislikes: People who take themselves too seriously. Pushy people. Complainers.
- Ambitions and Goals: To be useful.
- Temperament: Overall she’s easy-going. Serious about her job. Doesn’t like to talk about her past. Has a goofy side. Can become sarcastic when under pressure. Can become down right vicious when threatened. Just under the surface she suppresses a darker side, and struggles to keep it from emerging.
- Mental problems (complexes and phobias): Uses humor to deflect uncomfortable topics and hide her true feelings. Fear of being burned alive. Has been known to have intense moments of claustrophobia. Suffers from PTSD, nightmares, and a profound love of cats, specifically her black cat, Stinker-belle.
- Physical Limitations: Normal human limitations, but she’s a badass in a fight.
Family
- Marital Status: Single
- Parents:
- Father: Tom Wyss
- Mother: Isla Anam, Scottish
