==Personality==
Heath comes to grips quickly with other people and his environment, a skill honed from years spent with Starfleet Marines.  His Kerelian education taught him patience and virtue, an old kind of chivalry where men still open doors and pull out chairs for ladies.  He detests superficiality and would rather spend his time alone then suffer through small talk, only because it's nothing he hasn't heard before.  Yes, the weather is still nice.  No, it doesn't look like rain.  When he makes friends, he makes strong bonds and likes to keep them.  He doesn't mind being alone and rarely becomes bored.  He thinks deeply about the issues, which surround him every day, and tries to leave the past in the past. 
 
He is a natural leader and that is reflected in those that he does.  Never an awkward man, Heath puts himself in positions to help people, even if it means taking a few knocks to him through self-sacrifice, hoping to leave behind a better world for his children.  He is confident in his abilities and is constantly promoting the abilities of others around him, hoping to build confidence in the unit.
 
However, don't mistake him for the proud Marine figure.  His career has been dragged through the dogs and Heath fully believes that he is where he is now due to the crap he has had to endure. 
 
 
 
===Hobbies and Pastimes===
* ''Music'': With a Kerelian upbringing, that meant an education in music to the fullest extent.  He is an accomplished pianist, clarinet, saxophone and violin player.
* ''Engineering'': His first posting was as an Engineer in the Marine Corps after qualifying at Starfleet Academy.  He has never been in the Engineering Post since the destruction of the USS Thunder but he has continued an interest in it and tries to do what he can when the opportunity presents itself.
* ''Rock-Climbing'': A physical and mental challenger for a Marine.
* ''Spring Ball'': Played either singularly in the Holodeck or with a partner, involving a ball hit back and forth against a wall, aiming for targets either moving or stationary.
 
 
===Likes and Dislikes===
* '''Likes''':
** ''Food'': Since he spent time as a Bartender, Heath has developed a fondness for Kriosian food.
** ''Music'': Specifically Kerelian Classical.
** ''Drink'': Heath drinks coffee, likes weak herbal tea (such as camomile and green) and has the taste buds for a good strong Ale. 
 
* '''Dislikes''':
** ''Fools'': An inability to suffer them.
** ''Jumja'': Whether in a beverage or served as a meal, he hates the stuff.
** ''Doias Hocl'': A Kerelian opera singer.  More of a mutual dislike for one another.
** ''Theocratic Governments'': The last one was dethroned on Kerelia more than a century ago, but he still doesn't like them.
 
 
===Ambitions and Goals===
Heath has no real ambitions or goals.  His first was to enter Starfleet and he accomplished that at the age of eighteen.  He has since been up and down about carrying on with his career and has only "just" retaken the opportunity to become part of the Marines once more.  Heath has more aspirations to get a small piece of land of his own somewhere and live life peacefully with a loving partner.
 
 
===Personal Achievements and Disappointments===
*'''Achievements''': He still classes his joining the 'Valiant Order' on the USS Thunder a crowning moment in his career.  It was his first posting that was not an Engineer but a Flight Officer and then onto the Elemental Leader.  This was the time when Heath was at his best, or so he thought, and without any hindrance.
 
*'''Disappointments''': Heath finds that his most disappointing time came when he first resigned him commission from Starfleet on stardate 237702.09.  His partner at the time, Lana "Chase" Danebe, suffered horrendous injuries while on a Search and Rescue operation on a Garridean vessel, the G'Stantek.  They had a child together, a young girl, who was taken on her mother's death to live with her maternal Grandparents on Earth.

===StarFleet Assessments and Records===
: ''Full Article: [[West, Heath/StarFleet Records|West, Heath - StarFleet Records]]''


'''Family'''
Heath has displayed uncanny military tact in the field and continues to do so.  His Starfleet Profile is only a section of his ability and the rest would have to be seenIt is noted that Heath has sufficient experience in field combat and battle tactics, although there is little call for the experience when a war is not being waged.
* '''Marital Status:''' Married by Kerelian Law, Currently Seperated
* '''Spouse:''' [[Turner, Toni|Toni Turner]] serving on the [[USS Challenger]].
* '''Children''' Adopted Daughter: [[Turner-West, Vee|Vee]], with her mother on the [[USS Challenger]].


Growing up on Starbase 67, Heath was surrounded by various races, learning different languages and gaining friends throughout the Quadrant, many of which he still keeps in contact with.  He used to watch the Engineers on the Starbase working to keep the gigantic adding machine in space and marvelled at their dedication and persistence even when it looked hopeless.  It was the thrill of being out in the stars that drove Heath to take up a career in Starfleet and become an Engineer. 


However, it was also this talent for developing relationships that led Heath into a Diplomatic role and finally into the Marines.  It was a challenge for him that needed something other than what he was naturally good at. 


=== Personality ===
===Overview===
Heath comes to grips more frequently and thoroughly with himself and his environment than do most people. His years spent in education have taught him patience and the ability to think through the storm of thoughts. He detests superficiality; he'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But his relationships with his friends are very strong, which gives him the inner tranquility and harmony that he requires to do his work successfully and function to his full potential. He doesn't mind being alone for extended periods of time and he rarely becomes bored. He does have a goofy personality, and enjoys a joke whether he is the butt of it or simply an observer. His accent is mildly Irish with slight hints of the Kerelian slipping in now and then.


Presently, he has become involved with the Challenger's own Lt.Cmdr Toni Turner.  Their relationship is more than simply friendly but they are taking things slowly.  Their feelings were strong for one another from the start and even with a few rocky patches to climb over, Heath has never been as happy.  Their relationship is helping him to move on from his past instead of lurking in it.

=== Biography ===
===The Semper Fidelis Award===
Heath was born on Starbase 67 to civilian parents, Kerelian musicians and bar owners Kyle and Elle West.  He was the second child to be born and developed a strong aptitude for music early on.  Being a very creative child, his parents involved him in as much music as possible but his interest while on his music was diverted to engineering as well. He enjoyed watching the Engineers of the Starbase when they'd let him down to have a look and decided that it was Starfleet he wanted to get involved in.
[[File:Awards DutyPost MarineAward 2011.jpg|thumb|120px|The Semper Fidelis Award]]''For those StarFleet Marines who have shown great skill in protecting their crew, accomplishing their mission, avoiding tragic loss of life in the line of duty, and upholding the values of the UFoP in times of crisis. This is the first presentation of this award.''


When his parents moved him and his sister to the USS Gallipolis, he grew up reading and finding out about taking the course at Starfleet and joining the Federation. At the age of sixteen, he applied and with recommendation from the USS Gallipolis Captain, he gained entry into the Fleet to continue his studies in the field of Engineering.  Heath is a loving soul who likes composing and playing music as much as possible.  It is his favorite past time and reminds him a lot of home.  While he still enjoys being surrounded by people, he likes spending time on his own to reflect on himself and practice his clarinet whenever possible. He grew up surrounded by different races and talking to different races, gaining friends around the quadrant, even those on passing ships.  He likes to talk and make friends early on and has a fondness for Kriosian food.

: "The Semper Fidelis Award is new to our group, and one especially design for the Marines among us. And what better candidate than the man responsible for compiling most of the Marine data on our WIKI which is still in use today. He set the standard for our Marines, and now it is my great pleasure to present the Semper Fidelis Award to Major Heath West Embassy/Duronis II. Congratulations Heath!"


He qualified an Engineer in the Marine Corps of Starfleet as enlisted upon the USS Thunder, under the command of Lt.Col Daniel Cardinal. Working his way up through the ranks, he gained and lost friends along the way.  Gaining the rank of Marine Captain, and XO of the Thunder, West was given his own squadron of Fighters, 104th 'Black Ravens'
===The Prisoner of War Ribbon===
[[File:Awards ServiceRibbons POW 2011.jpg|thumb|120px|The Prisoner of War Ribbon]]''For those Starfleet Officers who have been been taken prisoner in the line of duty.''


During the massacre of the G'Stantek in Federation Space, many of his squadron were lost in the boarding party, including a very close friend. Major West opted for retirement from the Fleet upon their arrival back at Deep Space Nine.  He opted for a Civilian life with Citizenship in the Federation.
'''Maj. Heath West, Duronis II Embassy/USS Thunder''' - presented by Lt.Cmdr Miles Unum<br />
: "At the beginning of this year, we found and rescued an old friend who had been captured and held by the Breen Confederacy. At the time, we had been kept in the dark about his capture, and it was believed that he'd been killed in the line of duty. ::removing the appropriate ribbon from the wooden box and holding it up for the others to see:: Major Heath West has earned the Prisoner of War Ribbon for his sacrifices."


However, he has since took up a Commission from Retirement and is serving on Starbase 118 as a General Envoy.

Professional History

StarFleet Assessments and Records

Full Article: West, Heath - StarFleet Records

Heath has displayed uncanny military tact in the field and continues to do so. His Starfleet Profile is only a section of his ability and the rest would have to be seen. It is noted that Heath has sufficient experience in field combat and battle tactics, although there is little call for the experience when a war is not being waged.

Growing up on Starbase 67, Heath was surrounded by various races, learning different languages and gaining friends throughout the Quadrant, many of which he still keeps in contact with. He used to watch the Engineers on the Starbase working to keep the gigantic adding machine in space and marvelled at their dedication and persistence even when it looked hopeless. It was the thrill of being out in the stars that drove Heath to take up a career in Starfleet and become an Engineer.

However, it was also this talent for developing relationships that led Heath into a Diplomatic role and finally into the Marines. It was a challenge for him that needed something other than what he was naturally good at.

Maj. Heath West, Duronis II Embassy/USS Thunder - presented by Captain Toni Turner

"The Semper Fidelis Award is new to our group, and one especially design for the Marines among us. And what better candidate than the man responsible for compiling most of the Marine data on our WIKI which is still in use today. He set the standard for our Marines, and now it is my great pleasure to present the Semper Fidelis Award to Major Heath West Embassy/Duronis II. Congratulations Heath!"

At the time, we had been kept in the dark about his capture, and it was believed that he'd been killed in the line of duty. ::removing the appropriate ribbon from the wooden box and holding it up for the others to see:: Major Heath West has earned the Prisoner of War Ribbon for his sacrifices."
