{{Doz Finch}}


<br>
Lieutenant Junior Grade '''Doz Finch''' is an ebullient, upbeat, and action-oriented [[Human]], currently posted as an [[Engineering (Duty Post)|Engineer]] to the [[USS Gorkon]], the flagship of the [[Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce]]. Although a lot older than many of her other Human counterparts, Finch's restleness and inability to stay still for too long has enabled her to enjoy a long and fruitful career within Starfleet, first as an Enlisted Officer with a Mechanical Engineering Attestation and later as a Commissioned Officer with a full degree. Often seen as the tea-guzzling life of the party, few would realise how deeply she grieves the loss of a loved one and the challenges she now faces in the aftermath of that.

==<span style="color:goldenrod;">Early life</span>==
Born the scrawniest (and the last) of four, out on the windy Falkland Islands of Earth, Doz Finch spent much of her youngest years living a strange and contrasted life of nature meets mechanics. Her surroundings, mostly hills, rocks, grasslands and coastal lines, provided the respite she needed from her home that was, although splendifirous to live in, a grotto of engineering contraptions thanks largely to her technical brothers who all shared in their fathers passion for the subject.


Although she too dabbled and tinkered with machines and robots —— being particularly skilled with shuttlecraft and anything that moves —— she was more family oriented than her brothers and preferred to make the most out of her youth, enjoying adventures with friends and helping to care for her family and their house in whatever fashion that took. She was skilled at engineering just as they all were, particularly good at fixing things rather than inventing them like Wallace, but her interest in the subject fell to the wayside sometime around the death of her father whose passing sent their mother, Iris, into a deep and dark depression for many years to come.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/SWGhnQqB_XE "Written in Stone"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240001.31</ref>


In the aftermath of his death, rather than moving to Mars as was originally planned, the family instead relocated to Birmingham to be closer to other family members.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/e-A2_CUKYHw "The People We Leave Behind"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240001.25</ref> As the years went on, it was there in the city that she met Murve Norström, otherwise called Murphy, the funny scandinavian who was first a friend of her brother Wallace, and a person who she struck an instant bond with.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/hW2r8iPcrXI "Caught in a Dream"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240001.05</ref> As a trio, the three often enjoyed hangouts in the local parks, sunrise-watching and camp fires.


Eventually each brother left to become Starfleet Engineers, and in doing so abandoned their responsibility to care for their rapidly deteriorating mother who had delved into agoraphobia. This signalled the beginning of a distance between the siblings, and a notable divide between Doz and Wallace, one that would see them grow apart as the years went on. But the one true source of support who remained behind was Murphy who did all he could to ensure that Doz not only had a friend but also a person she could rely on. Piling together their own talents in engineering, they continued to maintain and fix all of the contraptions stood around the family home, and even went as far as to lending their skills to those in the neighborhood, to stay as busy as they could.
==<span style="color:goldenrod;">Starfleet</span>==


At roughly twenty years old, Finch took it upon herself to apply for the Martian Starfleet Technical Services Academy, greatly encouraged by her best friend Murve Norström, lovingly nicknamed Murphy, who believed that she had more talent in engineering than "all three of her brothers put together". Having waited for her to do so, the pair of them set off for the academy, later taking part in its intensive programme that covered a variety of subjects from checking, repairing and servicing starships to the more fiddly arts of reprogramming and reconfiguring computers and their many parts. The abridged programme also involved a myriad of electrical, mechanical, chemical, radiological and nuclear damage scenarios, and the difficulty of it was not lost on Finch who had for so many years done "her own sort of engineering". Upon graduation, she pursued roles in maintenance whereas Murphy preferred electrical ones.

They both shared their first tour of duty aboard the USS Bonestell, serving under a cantankerous Chief Engineer who often separated the two, and liked to punish Finch by having her do maintenance work on the outer hull of the ship. Despite this however, his repeated punishments actually instilled within her an appreciation for spacewalking, which has remained one of her favourite things to do ever since. Her career as an enlisted officer spanned seven ships over forty years —— the last of which was spent on the notorious Intrepid Class starship [[USS Marigold]].


Having reunited with Murphy during this posting, she was quite satisfied with her life until an unexpected disaster resulted in his death. As if history had repeated itself, she was flung into panic, terrified of the way she felt and her reaction to his death, and the all too real possibility of her becoming "like her mother", who had died decades prior. Desperate to distract herself, she asked Captain Koth of the Marigold if she could change her mind about an offer of academy sponsorship that she had declined many times before.


After graduating the Officer Candidate School, she was reassigned to the USS Gorkon, ironically not far from the Marigolds theatre of operation.

|BLURB=Set to investigate a mysterious "cult" known as the Eye of Infinity and its potential connection to a missing tourist vessel in the Gamma Quadrant, Doz, along with [[Jo Marshall]] and [[James Bowers]] find themselves on a diplomatic mission to attempt to establish contact with said cult, whilst other away teams focus on other goals and objectives.

|IMAGE=FightThePower.jpg
|BLURB=Thrust into a grim "dreamspace" in which certain members of the USS Gorkon believe they are members of a Maquis crew known as the Skarbek, Doz, better known as "Gramma" in that universe, worked with Lark ([[Tahna Meru]]), Trouble ([[Alieth]]) and [[Seva Reeshe]] to recruit locals to the resistance, and to rise up and fight against the invading Cardassians. However, as an ex-convict, cold and sometimes unfeeling, achieving such a feat came with many challenges. Ultimately, her biggest contribution was the suggestion of stealing a shuttle and using it to their advance, which they later did and with great success.

|BLURB= Arriving on the USS Azetbur during '''Act Three''', Doz met with Commander [[Alieth]] and Lieutenant [[Corliss Fortune]], to help them evacuate a group of colonists trapped in a submerged Cardassian vessel. After helping them gain access via an underground tunnel, she remained behind and ensured the colonists were all strapped and prepared for the rescue.
