Line 38: Line 72:
Born away from the Kriosian homeworld, Roshanara's birth parents gave her up for adoption, and a human couple took her in, named her, and raised her back in Lahore, Earth. Often mistaken for a Trill due to her Kriosian spots, she joined Starfleet because of her interest in starship design, an interest that has not come without a cost as she was gravely injured early in her career from a major accident that required lengthy rehabilitation. She exhibits a dry and perhaps even cruel sense of humor. Previously a chief engineer, she employs a rather direct and assertive style of command and is working on her anger management.

Prior to her return to active service aboard the USS Veritas, Blake was found residing on the Ornaran homeworld, working with law enforcement to rid her area of residence of further crime incited by black market drug trade. She was located in a bar winding down from a days work by Commander Zhou Tai-Sheng, and was assigned to the Veritas as the ship's Strategic Operations Officer for the ongoing Operation Safe Harbor before being named first officer to Rahman.

Growing up in a strict and conservative society, Rune always tried to conform and follow what had been determined to be her "Branch". However, as hard as she tried to fight it, she was still different. That difference was frowned upon by other Al-Leyans. When she was 16 she was forced to undergo "Attitude Readjustment Treatment," or so she thought that's what it was. Now, in Starfleet, she is faced with many challenges, one of which is breaking completely away from her people and their beliefs. Not an easy task when someone else has other plans for her life and will stop at nothing to get her to return home.

Born on Earth, Alora grew up the youngest of five and also the only girl in an affluent family. Although talented in the performing arts, science particularly called to Alora, which spurred her to apply for Starfleet Academy and study botany and zoology with a minor in languages. She is a happy, optimistic person who enjoys other people, and while events may trouble, she generally bounces back, particularly with support from others. Although friendly with almost anyone, there are only a few people she feels she can confide in completely.

Stiftany "Frankie" Harik is a joined Trill science officer. She prefers to be called Frankie instead of Stiftany, which is a family name she feels she was unfairly saddled with. She relies on her symbiont's many lives to find answers. She is interested in many things from rock climbing to reading Klingon poetry.

The oldest child in a dysfunctional family, Raj worked as a physician on Earth for several years before enlisting in Starfleet to escape a failed relationship. On his first assignment aboard the {{USS|Discovery|B}}, he forged a deep and loyal friendship with his commanding officer, Tyr Waltas, which lasts to this day. While Raj was in command of the {{USS|Atlantis}}, the love of his life, Emerson Ravenscroft, was killed in action, and he remains haunted by the loss. He is introverted and does not have many friends, but the ones that are, he holds close and dear to his heart and is fiercely loyal and protective of them. He also loves cats.

Raissa grew up on Earth and due to her Betazoid grandmother was a touch empath. She originally desired to be a medical doctor, but the pain experienced by her patients became too much for her. She switched her focus to psychology and psychiatry. Unaware of certain quirk of her genetics, Raissa played host to several hundred minds of the [[Community]]. Her telepathic/empathic abilities spiked to T6. However, once they had left her body, her ability did not return to its normal range, and she remains a T/E 6. She now limits her interaction with others to block out other thoughts as well as to avoid reading people inadvertently. Despite this change, she remains a skilled counselor and always easy to talk to.

Lluneh (Luna) was born on Romulus but raised on Earth after her human ambassador father convinced her Romulan mother to defect.  Not knowing this, she enjoyed a happy childhood until her father was murdered by the Tal Shiar. Frustrated at her brother's inability to prove the truth, she took it on herself to trick, sneak, or break in to do so. Caught one too many times, she joined Starfleet as an engineer, where her ability to creatively look at a problem was put to more positive outlets. While outgoing, friendly, and a bit of a prankster normally, she feels personally responsible for any discovered problems around her.

Carter was born on Earth, and his father indulged his love of Starfleet by obtaining publicly accessible records: namely documentaries made about the captains. He was fascinated by tactics and joined up to graduate as a tactical officer. Years later, he had a life-changing experience which influenced his career path toward becoming an engineer. As a result, he always keeps a tool kit strapped to his boot and says he never leaves his quarters without it.

Originally recovered from an archaeological dig, Pandora was accidentally activated by researchers at the Daystrom Institute in 2380, which is one of the reasons that she looks the way she does. Since then, she has joined Starfleet, spending most of her time acting as an engineer either aboard ship or as part of the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers|SCE]]. Curious about both the world around her and the people that inhabit it, even if the latter usually leave her perplexed, Pandora is always on the lookout for ways to improve her knowledge and understanding. She could probably use more work on her social interactions, however, as she's been described as having the people skills of a sledgehammer.}}

Line 217: Line 331:
Hanar had a normal family life and childhood, and when he became of age, he joined his parents on their freighter for a number of years before choosing to break from tradition and join Starfleet, selecting security/tactical as his major. His favorite hobby is the culinary arts, having studied this on the side, and he soon became quite the accomplished chef, creating many recipes, both pure and mixed, from different worlds. This also served to satisfy a related love - eating, hence his slightly portly appearance. Despite this, he is remarkably fit and agile, necessary for security duties. His only shortfall is he lacks a significant other, which he would like to remedy, sooner than later.

Somewhat a loner, Elena isn't the sort to care for parties and prefers interactions on a smaller scale. Determined and stubborn, she's not one to mince words, and there have been times her bluntness has caused some conflict. Despite that, she's also loyal, never one to easily give up, and will do her duty.

Son of a Betazoid Starfleet counselor and an Angosian war veteran, [[Marcus Dickens]] lived on Betazed after the death of his father and developed his empathic skills before joining Starfleet to honor his father and explore galaxy. Having served on many ships and with many captains, he’s a versatile person who loves science and is an easy going person, but when there’s work to be done, he’s the first to get onto it, which may be the reason why his wife asked for divorce. Now he’s starting a new life, carrying an ancient consciousness known as Kelrod within him.

Born to a single mother on Earth, Evan had a troubled childhood made worse by unpredictable and sometimes violent mood swings. Under the guidance of a Vulcan mentor, Evan eventually found a functional, but imperfect balance between his aversion to Vulcan ideology, and the necessity of controlling his emotions. That, and a desire to prove himself, was enough to get Evan through the Academy. His first two years in Starfleet earned him a sterling record, and Evan quickly advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and was well respected among his peers until Evan attacked an unarmed prisoner. After pleading guilty at his court martial, Evan eventually requested and was granted an indefinite leave of absence from Starfleet. His current whereabouts are unknown.
