Alexander Richards: Difference between revisions

:Alexander Richards has an illogical fear of dogs despite cases of domestic dog attacks being virtually unheard of in the twenty fourth century. He suffers from slight O.C.D which was diagnosed at age eight. Several attempts have been made via counseling and therapy to cure this though none have worked. He has both a strong fear and a strong hatred towards telepaths. This is almost to the extent of being racist. He has never been able to trust a telepath although he can and does work with them. The one exception to his rule at this time are the Vulcans. It has been theorized by Starfleet medical that Alexander's arrogance around his crew mates could stem from irrational and illogical feelings of inadequacy in front of his colleagues.  It has been noted that this behavior requires further study and counseling. Alexander still suffers from debilitating flashbacks stemming from a telepathic attack he suffered whilst serving on the USS Independence A. Although these are now considered to be under control following counseling and only occur at night, there remains a risk that a relapse could occur.

:'''For''' the most part, Alexander Richards personal life has been a roller coaster. He was born to two very loving parents on the Lunar colony, Tycho city. There he spent most of his time learning about the wonders of the Universe from his parents and studying hard. In his teenage years, he was accepted to the Daystrom Institute school on Earth but was later expelled having caused an accident. A few years later, having picked himself up from the gutter and grown up quite a bit he was accepted to Oxford University where he met his future wife. During his time at Starfleet Academy, his wife feel pregnant and later gave birth to their first (and so far only) child John. Prior to rejoining Starfleet following his resignation, he lived with his family on Starbase 118 taking a job as a barman.
