* '''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.

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. His family he chooses, not those he can't.

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 relationship they thought they had didn't exist at all; merely a product of being within reaching distance when they succumbed to the dream machine. Their presence missed, the two decided to start again, basing a new friendship on their experience, and ventured forward. He finds her shameless sassy nature hilarious and delights in every opportunity to provoke it. Finally realizing long hidden affection after a close call with her maker, they confessed their love for one another, and spent shore leave together in Russia. The couple became engaged on [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/7LsvV7gF2ug/FvNDrYj9AwAJ 239612.14].  

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.

 

The Chief of the Operations Department, Caedan and Chris have been friends and accomplices in operational mayhem for a number of years. They work incredibly well-together, bouncing off one another's natures, and can often be found boogying to some slice of music in the Ops Office.  

 

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. Chris has distanced himself from his family in recent years, due to several revelations he isn't proud 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".  

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.

|'''Anton Thierevich Yanovna'''

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.

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.
