[[User:Doz Finch|About the Writer]]
Doz Finch Image 2.png|Notably energetic and a touch on the restless side, [[Doz Finch]] has enjoyed an adventurous career spanning over forty years and seven ships, mostly in maintenance roles. But when the tragic loss of her nearest and dearest friend Murve Norström happened, everything changed. Often seen as the tea-guzzling life of the party, few would know of how deeply she grieves his death, and the challenges she now faces in the aftermath.

Miaxdiso Avoi 1.2.png|As an incredibly sociable creature, [[Miaxdiso Avoi]] is in her element when attending high society events, rubbing shoulders with big political, spiritual and otherwise eminent figures, taking all of it quite seriously indeed. Obsessed with formalities and fashion, she can at times be a fussy character, but still one with a full heart and good intentions.

Told that institutions on Betazed would never take her prying style seriously, [[Sepulsra Hex]] joined Starfleet as a means to an end, but also to escape the “scandal” of her rocky education and what that did to her family. Her time at the Shemsh colony has been some of her most formative years.

Considered beautiful, she was well known for using it to her advantage, until her patience waned and an irascible mean streak reared its ugly head instead. After years of clawing her way to the top, all was lost to Maquis hands in the colony of Witherington.

Ensign '''Doz Finch''' is a lively, hands-on and occasionally facetious Human, currently posted as an Engineering Officer to the [[USS Gorkon]], the flagship of the [[Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce]].
A prior-enlisted crewman, Finch qualified as an engineer out of the Technical Services Academy on Mars, and spent the majority of her career in Maintenance and Damage Control roles. Her passionate devotion to her work, and her unyielding ability to adapt led her to postings such as the ''USS Bonestell'', ''John Muir'', ''Marigold'' and many others. Her story at Starbase 118 began with the death of her closest friend and colleague Murphy; deeply affected by his passing, and having lost her emotional footing, she hastefully accepted a sponsorship to commission, despite always saying she wouldn't.

[[File:The Falklands.jpg|thumb|left|Finch's Birthplace, the Falklands, Earth]]
She was born in the city of Stanley, East Falkland, to parents Iris and Frederick Finch.
As the last sibling of four, she was humorously thought of as the runt of the litter, a quip not helped by her small stature and scrawniness. Her mother Iris was a specialist petrologist who studied the topography of Earth's South Atlantic islands, while her father Frederick mostly worked away as an enlisted engineer for Starfleet. Both parents originated from the West Midlands region of England. They each had hard-as-nails, witty but firm personalities; traits also exhibited in Doz and all three of her brothers.
While parked at a starship repair shipyard, a software malfunction caused Fredericks ship to accidentally collide with another one, instantly killing everyone on-board. After his death, Iris left her career in the Falklands and relocated the family back to Birmingham, to be closer to other family members.
Doz and her brother Wallace, the brother closest to her in age, used to watch the sunrise in the local woodlands of Birmingham, until he left for the Martian Tech Academy as seemed to be tradition. She thereby remained behind as the last of four siblings to deal with her miserable mother who gave her earache.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/hW2r8iPcrXI "Caught in a Dream"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240005.01</ref>
[[File:Birmingham.jpg|thumb|left|Finch's Teenage Years, Birmingham, Earth]]
Without purpose or motivation, and desperately sad, Iris became steeped in depression, no longer able to leave the house, socialise or parent her children, becoming the shadow of the woman she once was. As the only child of four left, Doz inadvertently became the leader of the house, and responsible for every facet of Iris' life. Losing some of her most important years of her teenage life to this experience, she left home and signed up to become an enlisted crewmember for Starfleet, eager to get as far as possible away from her life on earth.
{{LCARS-bar-heading|Starfleet Career|COLOR=#B8860B}}
Around age 20, she attended an intensive programme at the Mars Technical Services Academy, and it's attached speciality school, and soon after qualified as a Maintenance Engineer, focused on checking, repairing and servicing the interior subsystems of Federation starships. The abridged programme gave her skills in damage control that ranged from maintaining ships equipment and systems, firefighting and prevention, and the servicing or repair of components affected by electrical, mechanical, chemical, radiological and nuclear damage, in either combat or day-to-day non-combat situations.
Although not her speciality, on her first Tour of Duty aboard the ''USS Bonestell'', she was regularly ordered to perform maintenance on the ship's outer hull by a cantankerous Chief Engineering Officer. It was during these duties however that she ended up fostering an appreciation for spacewalking.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/8N_rk4wOtpQ "The Flavour of Electric Failure"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239912.08</ref>
Despite a non-Academic route into her field, her practical, hands-on and sometimes coarse approach to engineering enabled her to quickly understand ships systems, resulting in clever, quicker repairs - though not without mistakes. Her preference to learn by hand caused her to develop a series of habits, such as unnecessarily squinting at manuals in concentration, and her proclivity for holding mechanical artefacts to her mouth or in between her teeth, thereby tasting them.
Whilst serving as a Chief Petty Officer on the ''USS John Muir'', a 'regular haunt' of hers was Starbase 24, and during what should have been a normal shore leave, all hell broke loose when the starbase' shields failed during an oncoming meteor shower, resulting in a station-wide evacuation except for herself and the other engineers present that day, such as a cloddish [[Bolian]] named Bofer.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/b-tZ35wKTG8/m/eI7biQJUBwAJ "Tempting Tunnels"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239911.12</ref>
For most of her career, her medical record was clean; however during the last few months of her service as a crewman on the [[Doz Finch/USS Marigold|USS Marigold]], she endured a series of small accidents and mishaps, mentally distracted by something that had happened onboard, no doubt in reference to Murphy's death.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/KLgvVbzvhgY "Spiel of a Magpie"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240012.01</ref>
{{LCARS-bar-heading|Trivia|COLOR=#B8860B}}
* She can often be seen drinking tea in one hand, while she works with the other.
* She eats in tiny amounts, and seldom finishes her food; red meat, fish, toast or biscuits are a few of her go-to's, but nothing mealy.
* She's an insomniac—opting for intermittent 40 minute naps.
* She loathes sickbays; mainly the smell of them.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/HaUpk_nGMuA "The Camel's Back"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239930.12</ref>

{{LCARS-bar-heading|Relationships|COLOR=#B8860B}}
=== For more in depth relationship information, see [[Doz Finch/Relationships|relationships.]] ===
* [[Gnaxac]]: A nervous and stuttering Ferengi and one of the first engineers Doz met on the [[USS Gorkon]] during a series of frustrating repairs in the wake of the [[Rogue World (Gorkon)|Rogue Planet]]. Outside of their ranks, Doz finds him endearing and sees him as a young person to be guided. She trusts his professional opinion a great deal, aware that he knows the ship better than she does.
* [[Alieth]]: Her Vulcan colleague from the science department, and the reason many of the crew call Doz Ensign Binch, instead of Finch. Despite their polarised personalities, they seem to have good rapport—not excluding Alieth's canine companion [[Cheesecake Watanabe|Cheesecake]].
* [[Megan Bendyn|Meg Bendyn]]: Having met during a chance encounter in the Brew Continuum, Meg and Doz worked together to solve an ongoing issue with faulty circuits on deck sixteen. Although separated greatly by age and life experience, Doz appreciates Meg's enthusiasm and work ethic, and sees a friend in her.

=== [[Rogue_World_(Gorkon)|The Rogue Planet]] - [[USS Gorkon]] ===
Arriving at the tail-end of the mission, and in some style, Finch piloted the support vessel Azetbur down through the Rogue Planet's wild kaleidoscopic clouds, till her arrival at a crumbling village was met by Commander Alieth and Lieutenant Fortune. Together they traipsed through dangerous underwater tunnels till they reached a floating patchworked structure - once a starship - brimming with terrified inhabitants. Alieth and Fortune, using the Azetbur as their means to an end, lifted the structure out of the water and eventually from the planet, while Finch kept those inside of it fully prepared and safe.

Hello! I'm Ryan, writing as the character Character Name and others.

I'm a UK born creative soul with a penchant for making and writing distinct characters. Some of the things that I enjoy most are city breaks, watching films and TV shows, listening to music and gorging on chocolate. At Starbase 118, you may see me from time to time in the forums or even here making edits. I welcome messages on any platform, but the best place to catch me and strike up a conversation is usually Discord. That said, if you prefer interviews, have a read of my Lower Decks one here.
