===Short Bio===
[[File:Keegan-Avatar.png|thumb|244x244px]]Hi, I'm '''Keegan'''! My ''Primary Character'' is '''[[Robin Hopper/AMA|Robin Hopper]]''' (Chief Science Officer, [[Amity Outpost]]). I also have an ever-growing and changing roster of oddball side characters that I love dearly. My original Primary character when I joined SB118 - and the namesake of my username - is '''[[Kivik]]''' (now the Chief Science Officer, [[USS Kitty Hawk]]).


I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, on Canada's West Coast (and still live there today - though ''wooo'' is it ever getting expensive!) I was initially introduced to Star Trek at a young age, watching ''TNG'' with my dad (at the time, I didn't really understand what it was and called the show "Saturn" for the ringed planet in it's opener). Since then, I've taken in and enjoyed most other Trek series and films - though Deep Space Nine and Prodigy remain rather glaring 'blind spots' that I am working to catch up on. Despite all this, I've never really considered myself a "Trekkie" - but more of a general fan of science fiction and fantasy.
Hey there! I'm Keegan, and my primary character is [[Robin Hopper|Lt. Cmdr Robin Hopper]] - Chief Science Officer of [[Amity Outpost]]. I also have a menagerie of oddball PNPCs and side characters, all of whom I love dearly. When I first joined SB118, my primary character (and the namesake of my username) was [[Kivik]] - now a PNPC and the Chief Science Officer aboard the [[USS Kitty Hawk]].


Some of my favourite Sci Fi & Fantasy series/properties include:
I'm from Vancouver, on Canada's West Coast, and have somehow managed to stick out living there to this day (though ''wooo'' is it ever getting expensive!) I was first introduced to Star Trek at a young age, watching re-runs of ''The Next Generation'' with my dad. At the time, I didn't really understand a lot of what I was watching (I even called the show "Saturn" because of the ringed planet in the show's intro). Growing up, we continued watching Trek as a family and I was much more engaged with ''Voyager'' and ''Enterprise''. Nowadays, I dearly love ''Strange New Worlds'' and ''Lower Decks'', and tolerate the other shows with the type of good-natured love one has for family members that rub you the wrong way occasionally. I'm currently in the thick of a full watch-through of ''Deep Space Nine'' (which, until recently, had remained a pretty blatant 'blind spot' in my Trek knowledge).


* Star Trek (of course)
I'm also a big fan of other sci fi franchises, like ''Battlestar Galactica'', ''Stargate'', ''Alien(s)'', and fantasy, such as ''Lord of the Rings'', ''A Song of Ice & Fire / Game of Thrones'', and so on. I've been roleplaying since I was about 12 years old, starting with forum-based RPs based on Lord of the Rings and ''Diablo'' - but got properly introduced to TTRPGS in high school with ''World of Darkness'' and ''Vampire: The Requiem''. I tried Dungeons and Dragons for the first time properly as an adult and began DMing my own campaign during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
* Battlestar Galactica
* Stargate
* Alien(s)
* Lord of the Rings


I've been roleplaying since I was about 12 years old - getting started with forum-based RPs based on the Lord of the Rings and Diablo universes. Later, as a teenager, I'd also join a number Battlestar-inspired forum RPs and start my own Aliens-based RP. This was also when I got my first taste of tabletop roleplaying (White Wolf's ''World of Darkness'' game and expansions). I tried D&D for the first time properly as an adult and during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdowns I started learning more about D&D, eventually deciding to GM my own campaign which ran for over two years.
My approach to roleplaying here are to focus exploring characters as complex and diverse people first, and exploring their job / duty post second. I often take a lot of inspiration from IRL sources (myself / my own experiences, people I know, or even the face claims of the characters) and generally try to imagine I'm writing a ''real'' Trek show for ''real'' actors to play in. I'm also interested in using roleplay as a way to gain additional perspective on diverse identities and character traits as well as developing and 'grounding' world and species development. You can check out my [https://www.starbase118.net/2022/lower-decks-interview-lieutenant-jg-kivik-amity-outpost/ Lower Decks Interview] (from when my Primary Character was [[Kivik]]) to learn more about me and my goals at that time.


Here on 118, in addition to just having fun, I'm interested in exploring diverse identities and character traits through my characters and developing the histories of lesser-known species and worlds. You can check out my [https://www.starbase118.net/2022/lower-decks-interview-lieutenant-jg-kivik-amity-outpost/ Lower Decks Interview] (from when my Primary Character was [[Kivik]]) to learn more about me and my goals at that time.

The above, while a ''slight'' exaggeration, is still an excellent joke. I enjoy creating characters, playing from a variety of perspectives. My current roster of characters, including my '''Primary Character''', '''Secondary Character''', Personal Non-Player Characters (PNPCs), Mission-Specific PNPCs (MSPNPCs), and other side characters, can be found below.
=== Primary Character - Lt. Commander Robin Hopper===
[[File:Robin-LtCmdr-550.png|left|thumb|250x250px|Hopper, circa 2400]]Lt. Commander Robin Hopper is a Human/[[Centauran]] woman serving as Chief Science Officer aboard [[Amity Outpost]].
 
Born and raised on the 'old frontier' world, [[Theta VII]], Hopper grew up on her parents' hydroponic farm estate. She also lived on [[Earth]] while attending a Masters program at UC Berkeley and, subsequently, [[Starfleet Academy]] in San Francisco where she earned her doctorate in Physics. Her first posting was aboard the the Oracle-Class deep space science vessel, [[USS Wall Street]], where she served as a Science Officer and as Assistant Chief Science Officer before transferring to Amity Outpost in 2399.
 
Her time aboard Amity has been eventful, to say the least. From rubbing shoulders with Betazoid Nobles, to squaring off with the Hirogen, to meeting her Mirror Universe Counterpart, [[Raven Hopper]], there hasn't been a dull moment. In addition to her professional duties, Robin's stories are often centered on her personal life and relationships - most notably, her developing "situationship" with [[Nathan Richards]], one of her closest friends and a long-term romantic interest.

Characters like the Matriarch of the Twentieth House of Betazed, [[Seri Polgonz]], or the relatable criminal clerk, Aaris Idar, the Hawlat Luminary, Prarim, and the aged Hirogen Alpha, Acherax.
