Background
Carter grew up in San Jose, California. He felt strongly and passionately about Starfleet since he began reading about the exploits of the various captains. With that in mind, he cast a gaze towards tactical and decided to enter the academy on his 18th birthday. 4 years later, he's a tactical officer with a major in Tactical and minors in Helm/Comm/Ops.
After nearly facing death due to a faulty console, he thought about making a career change to engineering. He was encouraged by the captain and chief engineer to discuss this over with someone first. After a session with Counselor Raissa Moonsong, she helped him realize that his place was in the engine room and he had no business being behind a tactical console unless he was repairing it.
Manner
- Quarters: Fairly spartan these days, with a single picture of himself and Kala Maddox at the academy with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background hanging by the door.
- Favorite Food: Peach Pie. His father would only make it when peaches were in season.

Relationships
Starfleet AcademyDuring his time at Starfleet, he'd made a few friends. Not as many as he'd like, but just enough to keep him out of trouble.Kala MaddoxFriends throughout their years at the academy, though somewhat distant as they neared completion. He still feels deeply for her, regardless of the fact their love may never advance beyond brother and sister. As of this point in time, he doesn't know what happened to her. Last he heard, she was assigned to the USS Apollo and that was the very last time he'd heard anything. Agatha MoirreyKnown to Carter and by several others as "Aggie", this impetuous young Terran was always capable of making him laugh and relax when he needed it most. He met her during his academy years, and the two became fast friends after circumstances drove him and Kala apart during that time. She had a knack for stepping in and lending an ear when he was having problems. Since he left, their relationship has withered into non-existence. USS GarudaChythar SkyfireSkyfire: What's up, Carter? “
” These two met during their time on the USS Excalibur-A. While they never served on the same shift for longer than 10 minutes at a time, the shuttle to the USS Garuda was the longest both men had spent in the same room for longer than five minutes prior to their first day together on the Garuda. When Carter's console exploded on the bridge, Chythar was the first on the scene and diligently performed life-saving surgery to stabilize the young ensign. He had no idea that what he was actually doing was saving his future room mate. Once shore leave hit, the two men found that they were assigned to the same room. Carter had to face the fact his infatuation with Chythar may just be a passing phase of hero worship because the doc saved his life. He and Chythar haven't spoken since that day, though the doc has always been busy.
Nia CalderanCalderan: Seriously, be confident! Don’t regret the things you do in life, only regret the things you didn’t. “
” During shoreleave on stardate 239108.01, these two met for the first time. She had read the reports indicating how Dr. Skyfire had saved Carter's life, and was curious to know whether he would be able to go back on duty. Somehow, his feelings for the good doctor slipped out during the conversation. She advised him to go ahead and ask Chythar directly if he's still pursuing the marine Debra Cross that the doc started to fall in love with just before the transfer.
Raissa MoonsongCarter's initial meeting with Raissa was short, abridged. His first actual counseling session with her proved more insightful, and she helped him solidify his desire to transfer to engineering. His incident on the bridge involving the exploding tactical console made it clear that he doesn't belong behind one unless he's fixing it or re-configuring it from an engineering console. It took him a while to realize he felt more for her than what he had admitted during their one and only counseling session.Greyson: Computer, halt turbolift. :: He paused. Took a slow breath, and then spoke again as he met her gaze. His own eyes had softened slightly from the angry glare that he gave the console while they were on the bridge. :: Our...last conversation, in Ten Forward...ended rather abruptly. This conversation about the console has helped, but...is it weird that you seem to have stirred another emotion in me besides the anger overcoming the fear at the console? “
” During his time on Deep Space X and on first mission as an engineer, he was trapped in a turbolift with Gabrielle Porchevska (see below). She helped him realize that he needed to talk to Raissa about how he felt and take initiative on the relationship. During her recuperation in sickbay, he confesses his love to the counselor. It isn't long after she is released that they take their first dinner together.
Tristam CoreSometime after his incident on the bridge with the tactical console, it was pointed out to him that his hands were shaking. During a conversation with the captain and the acting chief engineer, the possibility of a permanent transfer to engineering came up followed by retraining, thus allowing him to finish SFA's engineering program with Cmdr. Core as a mentor. He had to discuss it with counselor, and shortly after his meeting with her he realized he was committed to becoming an engineer. He went through one mission without the paperwork to back it up, then took steps to enroll himself in the distance learning Engineering program.
Gabrielle PorchevskaThe two were trapped in a turbolift aboard DSX, and had to smack Carter over the head with a clue-by-four regarding his feelings for the counselor. She told him that Ris liked him back, and now that he wasn’t a patient he had to contact her in order to get anywhere. |
