* '''Likes''': Food (especially pelmeni), quiet cello music, warm coffee, rain, open fires.  

: He hates knowing he did his best and it wasn't good enough. If he didn't do it right, he'll try again until he does.  

: He believes in strong friendships, a deep love, switchblades, and the benefits of having a good bath.

The '''Yanovna''' name is a grand one in his homeland and throughout the galactic stage - a combination of centuries old money, a corporation of vast power and influence, and not inconsiderable political influence.  

He has a strong relationship with his sister, Lisa, and tries to keep in touch with her whenever possible. Being the youngest of the family, his older brothers were around to teach him how to not treat other people, then disappeared to form families of their own.  

Chris has distanced himself from his family in recent years, due to several revelations he isn't proud to know of. Due to this, among other factors, he likes to use the Federation Standard version of his first name, Christopher, instead of Krištof (Криштоф), and to distance himself from his familial legacy, he uses the surname Johns - the Latin form for his mother's maiden name "Ivans".

![[File:ChrisJohns-Mother.jpg|120px]]<br>Nyura Yanovna Ivans

|A warm and kind hearted woman, with sweet affection for all of her children, and a dedicated career as a decorated Prima ballerina assoluta. Highly educated and incredibly intelligent. Passionate dancer. Heir to Yanovna Holdings, and daughter of Yanov Yanovovich Ivans, she chose not to persue the family line and instead, passed the dealings onto her husband, son and daughter. Her wants for Chris are carefully balanced between wanting him to live his own life but come home to realize his potential as a professional dancer.

|A self-made billionaire in his own right, Thierry's roots were never humble. He is strong-willed, capable, and fiery, with a sharp mind for business dealings, although his kill switch tactics blur the line between financial gain and family matters. His relationship with his children is measured affection — loving one moment, kept at arm's length the next — and his relationship with Chris is no different. Driven by power, his shrewd attitude means he never reveals his full hand to anyone.

|The Director of Enterprise in [[Yanovna Holdings]], Anton is set to take the top seat upon the (eventual) retirement of his father. He has similar traits — shrewd, tactful, measured, charismatic — but a little softer around the edges. Chris and Anton have never seen eye to eye on anything.

===<font color=grey>Friends and Others</font>===

Friendships have always come easy for the outgoing young man, who will talk to anyone if they stand still for long enough. He looks for personalities in people he admires, or bounces off. The easy friend who will be there for someone in a day, in a month, in ten years - whether they've kept in touch or not.

|A Vulcan Chris would say he is close too. If one can. He regularly participates in the games Chris runs with satisfactory enthusiasm, seems to love uttaberry muffins, and can act as a guiding hand for Chris when he's in need of a steadying voice.

|A young Human male with a head full of stars. They attended the Academy training course together, were often seen around one another in and out of classes, earning Rob the nickname "Stew" and Chris "Soup" from one keen-eyed Academy professor.

|A dependable and loyal Bactarian male, fascinated by Humans and the weird things they do. He spends most of his time trying to convince Chris that Humans have a hibernation cycle, ponders why Humans smack their hands together to celebrate something, and thinks the practice of wearing secret pants beneath regular pants is strange.

|A recent friendship formed over "years" within the dreamscape of the [[Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Gorkon)|Skarbek]]. Waking up, they discovered that wasn't the case, and a friendship they thought they had didn't exist at all, and merely a product of being within reaching distance of one another when they succumbed to the dream machine. Missing the presence of one another, after so long in close quarters, the two have decided to start again, basing a new friendship on their experience, and venture forward. He finds her shameless sassy nature hilarious and tease one another at every available opportunity.

With her recent escape from the Gorkon, faced with charges of murder and espionage, Chris is heartbroken and struggling to cope with the betrayal from someone he thought he knew.

He keeps himself in excellent physical condition and uses the holodeck as training for ballet practice. He likes good food, especially flaky pastries, warm coffee on cold evenings, snow, skating, and open fires. He likes reading long novels about strife and tragedy, which contrasts with his happy personality, but there you go. ''Anna Karenina'' by Leo Tolstoy is his favorite book, with the central theme that happiness cannot be built on another's pain. His favoured line from the novel is the opening one, ("Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.") which says more about his family relationships than he likes to talk about.
