Frank Hawkins: Difference between revisions

While Hawkins thrives under pressure with problems to solve, he doesn't know it. This causes him to second guess his actions and come down on himself hard for the tiniest mistakes. Helping run the ship while growing up, as well as acting in an a limited XO capacity on board his parents ship gives him the potential for command. Unfortunately due to still being naive and trusting, he is prone to miss clues to  that duplicity is at work and may quite easily be duped or taken advantage of. The breadth and depth of his unusually large amount of life experiences is mitigated by feeling inferior to people who have focused on the best way of doing things and honing that ability.

 

Starfleet training had a dramatic and lasting effect on some of his shortcomings, but they are still very much a part of him and may cause him difficulty while serving.

 

A gentleman in every way, he still carries on traditional ways of behaving around women. This has caused him more than one embarrassing moment that still dwell in his memory. As much as he'd like to change, and be more like his contemporaries, these habits are too hard to break. Once Hawkins decides you're a friend, you're his friend for life. He will set aside what he can to help, care for, and simply be there for his friends.

Hawkins first post was engineering officer aboard the USS Athena. During his first mission however, due to the Chief Engineer being removed from duty, he found himself acting as the Chief Engineer temporarily. Afterwards, he was given the post of Assistant Chief and his first promotion to Lt. JG.
