- Height: 1.85m (6'1")
- Build: Athletic, Lean
- Hair: Dark brown
- Eyes: Hazel
- Distinguishing Features: Visible dent in the top of his head when hair close shaved. Vertical scar in butt cheek.
Flexible and strong, tall and lean, with a well-defined muscle structure and broad shoulders leading to a tapered waist. A generous dusting of dark beard coats his face, the stubble growing through faster than he can shave it away. His hair is usually longer, sticking up at all angles from his head, however, he's recently taken to shaving it off in favour of a closer cut. His hazel eyes are wide and open, looking through them with an oft sense of wonder and general happiness, usually accompanied by a small smile.
Chris is a tolerant team player, recognising others' opinions, and freely admits he doesn't have all the answers. He's reliable, afraid of letting anyone down, in case it ends in tragedy. Charismatic and charming, he can captivate an audience, reads moods easily, and communicates effectively, shiting his tone and his manner to reflect what someone else needs at the moment. Warm and selfless, he believes bringing people together is how they can get through the toughest of times.
However, this can also make him appear overly idealistic, or too selfless, striving hard to meet his word once it's given, and has a tendency to spread himself a little too thin to cover all basis. He can be sensitive, taking criticism to heart, or feels problems that aren't his own deeply. Despite his natural charm and warmth, Chris struggles with his self-esteem, trying to balance on a knife-edge, and can find tough decisions difficult to make, especially since the accident claiming Lanta's life in a fatal shuttlecraft crash Chris is convinced he could've avoided.
Hobbies and Pastimes
- Dancing: Once a profession, now a hobby; Chris is still a dancer at heart. With limited space on the Skarbek to practice, he does what he can in the cargo bay when the mood takes him.
- Athleticism: he keeps himself trained and muscular, a habit forged from years of dance training. He likes to run when they're on a colony or outpost and will happily disappear for days into mountains exploring.
Likes and Dislikes
- Likes: Food. He'll eat anything and everything, barring Klingon dishes. Old Russian recipes are his favourite, though getting the replicated food stuffs to cook with can be difficult. He likes open fires, quiet evenings sat around them, with a bottle and good friends, especially one Romulan. If it's raining, he'll be found outside, soaking it up.
- Dislikes: People can be too serious in their line of work, and he finds it to be tedious. He tries to find the joy in most things, the happiness in the little things, even if that's just a bottle of tequila and good company.
Living Quarters
Surprisingly tidy. Smells faintly of him; black pepper, vetiver, oakmoss and ambergris. There's space for him to stretch and do push-ups on the floor and a collection of strange liquor bottles lined up on a shelf. His sheets are tightly bound to the bed, so neat one could bounce a latinum strip off the top.
