Personal Information
Personality
Arden Cain is socially reserved however confident in his work. Arden openly admits that he is not the best in his field, he is however passionate and dedicated toward it, always seeking to become better. When circumstances call for it, he is unafraid to voice his own opinion in a work related matters.
Ever since his days at high school Arden has been known for being introverted in social situations, parties and so forth. When possible he avoids them all together, if not Arden puts in the bare minimum of appearances before finding a way out. He isn’t afraid of crowds as such but rather the people themselves preferring to spend his time by himself.
Arden doesn’t like getting close to many people and values his privacy. Making friends is not something Arden does easily or frequently and those friendships/bonds Arden does make mean a great deal to him. This is shown in putting a great deal of loyalty and faith in said person. Arden tends to expect the same level of loyalty from his friends in return but realises that’s not always possible. As long as he is treated with respect and nothing happens to shake that loyalty and faith Arden doesn’t expect the world from his friends.
Every since Arden was young he has had a short temper in regards to his father. This is among the instances of where Arden can get emotional elsewhere he will avoid his more emotional issues, bottling them up rather than facing the issues. Arden will fight back if stirred up, stopping short of throwing punches after realising his inferior physical build in most cases
Arden typically avoids the subject of family in particular those relating to his father.
- Temperament: Tends to be easy going and calm. More assertive and the occasional aggressive streak show as required in extraordinary situations (Family crisis’s and extreme working environments etc).
- Habits: Calls all Star Fleet personnel by rank or title as supposed to name, even when given the option by senior Officers. Exceptions to this are his close friends.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Although exposed to a variety of religions and spiritual beliefs systems throughout his travels, Arden doesn’t believe in any. He is the type of person who doesn’t put much faith in something that can’t be scientifically or logically explained. Having said that, he is tolerant of others beliefs as long as they don’t force said beliefs onto him.
- Quarters: When given the choice, Arden keeps his Quarters away from majority of ship mates. The Quarters themselves are usually scarcely decorated and kept clean at all times. Even though most of the quarters Arden has had have been limited in size, he sets up a spot in them where he can read comfortably. This usually happens on his bed or an arm chair.
Hobbies and Pastimes
- Reading
- Arden loves reading anything from fiction to ship schematics or other onboard system manual. This more technical material makes up the bulk of he reads as this is where majority of his interests lie. While encouraged by his Mother and Academy Professors, Arden stays away from more classical literature as he finds it dull.
- Bush walking and mountain climbing
- When time permits Arden will often make use of a holdeck to simulate various bush walking tracks and mountain climbs. Arden was introduced to these activities by Evanna Blackwood. He finds climbing especially therapeutic if he needs to clear his head or vent frustration.
Likes and Dislikes
Ambitions and Goals
- Arden signed onto Star Fleet as a career after realising that the family business wasn’t for him. Therefore he naturally wishes to rise through the ranks. Where he ends up in Star Fleet, he does not know or necessarily care to an extent.
- Despite his deep resentment for his Father, Arden does seek his father’s approval. This is a matter that he keeps hidden from all but the closest of friends and even buried from himself for the most part. Just admitting the desire is hard enough for Arden as he knows it is the one goal he will probably not complete.
Family
- Parents:
- Father: Willard Cain, 50, Owner/Operator of a small interstellar freight company mainly transporting ores and other raw materials to and from independent colonies.
- Mother: Marcella Stevenson, 45, navigator and engineer aboard her husband’s freighters.
- Siblings: Elen Cain, 20 years old, currently studying Medicine on Earth
- Helen Stevenson: Aunt, 40 years old. Botanist currently living on Earth
Chronological History
At Arden’s parents request, Arden spent majority of his life living with his Aunt on Earth while his parent operate the family inter stellar-freight business. After he completed High school with above average grades particularly in math and science Arden travelled with his parents for three years. Owing to his resentment of his father, Arden spent most of his time with his mother aiding her in ship maintenance.
While aboard the freighters, Arden’s mother tutored him in all facets of starship engineering improving on Arden’s natural aptitude. After his third year aboard, Arden made the decision with his mother’s approval to join Starfleet. The decision was an easy one for Arden because he knew if he didn’t get out and away from his father’s clutches he would be there the rest of his life.
Upon leaving his relationship with his father grew even more hostile unlike his time spent with his mother. To him, it had helped make up for lost time as a child but as far as he was concerned there was too much distance between his father and him to make up so easily and his departure only served to widen the gap.
