Shayne - Father
 Vice Admiral Eric Shayne is a second-generation serviceman. He rapidly rose through the ranks, earning a reputation as a demanding but caring officer. On board his starship, the Eagle, Eric managed to save the crew from multiple potential disasters, eventually rising to the rank of commander. During the first Borg Invasion of Sector 001, his captain ordered Eagle to engage the enemy, but their distance from Earth made it impossible to join the battle. While he understands that there was nothing he could have done, present or otherwise, he was never entirely able to shake a feeling of guilt. Many of his colleagues had been present at the massacre. Several years later, the captain of the Eagle was promoted, leaving the seat wide open for Eric to fill. He accepted, but his exploratory goals were put on hold when the Dominion cold war elevated to full scale war. After the war, Eric took several tours of duty studying fascinating new astronomical phenomena, before eventually moving to a desk job commanding Starbase 912, on the border of Tholian space. It was here that he met Heidi Christine, an occupational therapist serving onboard the station. Love, followed, and marriage wasn't far behind. After nearly a decade in that position, Eric finally decided to retire. He has since devoted himself to writing a book about his experiences on the fringes of known space.

Background
Born on star date 236702.20, Chicago, Earth. Accepted into Starfleet Academy at age 18 on star date 238507.14. Studied medicine for one year before switching career tracks and beginning training as an engineer. Graduated ninth and eleventh in his class respectively. Described as brilliant but troubled, Shayne had few friends at the Academy. His behavior, while never out of line or dangerous, was termed as erratic by his councilor and instructors. Often finding unconventional solutions to problems posed in curriculum, Shayne excelled at classes such as temporal logic, problem solving and ethics, but often struggled with more concrete subjects like physics and
mathematics, specifically subspace calculations.
Personality
Shayne is extremely self-doubting and consistently questions his worth. Nevertheless he is dedicated to the crew he serves with and to Starfleet. Very secretive, he usually tries to avoid crowd settings, but is capable of eloquence and grace when called for. Shayne suffers terribly from anxiety and panic attacks, and has tried several medications meant to suppress these emotions, but he is on none now. Instead, meditation is his go-to. He is extremely gentle, occasionally gruff but never hurtful. He is devoted to the ideals of Starfleet, and shows excellence at the helm. Shayne plays the flute in his spare time.
Relationships
Due to Shayne's secretive nature, information on his relationships is grudgingly given, usually only on a need-to-know basis. His relationship with his parents is fine, but this sensitive area is often a source of intense discomfort for him. Shayne will not speak about his brother, regardless of the situation.
His reclusive nature makes it highly difficult for people to get close to him. Friendships are not sought after, but sometimes inevitable. Spending more than a week in a shuttlecraft with someone will most likely end up causing either a friendship to form or a murder to take place. In this case, the shuttle flight in question was the transfer from the Starship Triumphant to the USS Darwin-A. Shayne struck up a friendship with Lieutenant Commander Varaan. While both Varaan and Shayne customarily do not seek friendship, Shayne has found Varaan's friendship, advice and company to be of great value.
- Lieutenant Commander Varaan.
To his immense, but not unpleasant, surprise, Shayne found himself in a relationship with Lieutenant Isabel Pond.
Shayne finds her to be an abundant source of love and strength. He is diminished without her, and she has helped him to gain slightly more confidence in himself.
Habits
Many of Shayne's habits are responses to his overwhelming anxiety. He consistently picks and bites his fingernails, often to the point of bleeding. Often he will chew on his bottom lip. His hair, usually uncooperative, compels him to push it out of his eyes ad nauseam. Clumsy normally, but able to exhibit grace at crucial moments, Shayne stubs his toe constantly.
There is a burn on the back of his left hand that never seems to heal. This is a side effect of the salt he puts on it daily. For some unfathomable reason, it soothes Shayne. The relief he gains from ingesting the salt is worth the pain of the burn. Shayne fears the day the burn becomes known by his superiors.
History
Shayne's first ship was the USS Gemini. A Dakota- class starship, she was not the biggest or the best-armed, but she was close to his heart. When Starfleet made the decision to decommission her, Shayne was extremely unhappy. Nobody forgets their first ship and crew, but it was somewhat different for him. While Shayne remains a highly reclusive and sheepish individual, he has improved immensely from his first mission aboard the Gemini, when he was so shy he could barely speak. Under Commander (now Captain) Liam Frost, Shayne learned to develop slightly more confidence in himself.
The Starship Gemini
While onboard the Gemini, Shayne participated in the hunt for a rogue Starfleet vessel, the investigation at Prometheus Station, and other missions. It was with some reluctance that he accepted his transfer to the USS Apollo (NCC-71669-A), along with several Gemini crewmembers. Before he had a chance to really settle in, transfer orders moved him to the USS Darwin-A's escort vessel, the Triumphant (NCC 75692). After a mission to retrieve a highly sought-after criminal ended, Shayne accepted a posting on the Darwin as her chief helmsman and has remained ever since.
The Shayne Maneuver
Fresh out of the Academy, Shayne was assigned to the Starship Gemini. Arriving during a crisis, the brand new ensign was required to take the helm of an unfamiliar ship at the worst of times. The Gemini was in pursuit of the rogue USS Spartan. The Spartan had started to attack vessels and instillations belonging to the Klingon Empire. While the Gemini was tracking the Spartan to deliver the Captain to authorities, a Klingon vessel, the IKS Su'wamh hunted the rogue vessel, intending to destroy it. Eventually both ships arrived near the Spartan, and a transporter tug-of-war began. The Gemini and the Su'wamh simultaneously activated transporters targeted at Captain Clarkson of the Spartan. Both were equally matched in power, and neither vessel was willing to let their captive go to the other side. The two transporter beams on Clarkson began to kill him. Still neither ship let go.
As both starships wrestled for control over the traitorous Clarkson, it became abundantly clear that one starship would need to release their quarry, or Clarkson would perish. That's when Shayne got a flash of inspiration. By sending a modified stream of antiprotons through the Gemini's angular confinement beam and then using Clarkson as a jump point, Shayne was able to lock onto the transporter room of the Su'wamh and literally rip it out of the ship. The explosive decompression that resulted from the violent removal of the transporter pad rendered the Su'wamh powerless as Clarkson was beamed aboard the Gemini, which then retreated to Federation space. The term "Shayne Maneuver" was given by Engineer Konstava when Shayne explained exactly what he had done. Due the unconventional and dangerous nature of this strategy, it has not been tried again since.
