Didrik Stennes: Difference between revisions

Line 202: Line 202:
Didrik dislikes crowds and raised voices, and avoids them whenever possible.  He is an outdoorsman and an explorer, an able hiker and mountaineer.  Didrik is fond of wordplay and sarcasm, and will take whatever opportunities he can to make a good-natured quip.  While fluent in Federation Standard English, he often configures his combadge to transmit simultaneous translation into Norwegian, mostly because he finds it amusing how the computer so frequently gets it wrong.

Didrik is his harshest critic, and has trouble accepting compliments or taking credit for things he succeeds at.  While he shrugs it off as Nordic modesty, he secretly is driven by a desire to fit in and be liked.  An average tactician, Didrik has embraced his natural aptitude for Ops and Helm, and is looking for opportunities to grow in that area, rather than sit by and wait for a tactical post to open.
Didrik is his harshest critic, and has trouble accepting compliments or taking credit for things he succeeds at.  While he shrugs it off as Nordic modesty, he secretly is driven by a desire to fit in and be liked.  An average tactician, Didrik has embraced his natural aptitude for Ops and Helm, and is looking for opportunities to grow in that area, rather than sit by and wait for a tactical post to open.  When on duty, he prefers to operate the helm manually rather than allow the NavComp to fly the ship.  To that end, he has devised a number of unique console layouts that allow him to pilot the ship while monitoring other departments in the absence of an Ops officer on duty.


Physically, Didrik is bulkier than the average human.  He is self-conscious about his forehead, which he thinks is too large.  Born with a healthy Norwegian appetite, he has never met a food replicator that he didn't like, and he must make himself exercise regularly to avoid putting on too much weight.  His stomach doesn't tolerate alcohol or synthale, and even coffee and tea upset his system, so his beverage of choice is almost always water chilled to 0.15˚C.
