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.


Family

Kerelian families are the same setup as the nuclear Terran family. Heath was raised on Kerelia, subject to the education and religion of the planet's Government and the laws that bound the family together.

Spouse

Children

  • Vee Turner-West: Vee is Heath's adopted daughter together with Commander Toni Turner. Her adoption was finalised on Stardate 238412.15 and resides with her mother on the USS Challenger. Heath has a mutually strong bond with Vee, despite the distance that has strained their relationship. They maintain in contact very regularly and Heath still writes her bedtime stories himself.
  • Aliana Garner Danebe: Aliana is Heath's first child from his relationship with Lana "Chase" Danebe. At the time of her mother's death, Aliana was two years old and it was decided she was to live with her maternal Grandparents on Earth. She and Heath keep in regular contact through subspace communication but it has been a number of years since she has seen her father in person. Aliana is now nine years old.

Parents

  • Mother: Elle West - A once glorified singer in the Kerelia Opera circles, she has since retired to continue a life of service to the Heart of Kerelia, serving as a Diplomat for their proud nation.
  • Father: Kyle West - A rogue, through and through. He was absent for most of Heath's young life and has become a figure that enters and exits when he pleases. Heath has never trusted him but the suave and debonair bastard finds a way through the Marine's defences and lays siege to his common sense.

Siblings

  • Naomi Carter-West - Currently married to Jonam Carter and residing on Colony Io, Jupiter. She is Heath's older sister and did her best to help their mother raise them both with an absent father. Naomi blames Kyle for a lot of the bad situations the family ended up in before Heath's admission to Starfleet, however she has nothing but support for her brother and mother.


Personal History

Full Article: West, Heath - Personal History

Born in Actya Bay, Kerelia, Heath was the second child to Kerelian parents. His father was an absent figure throughout his childhood and his mother was a working Singer in the Kerelian Opera circle.

Professional History

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.
