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]].

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.

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.

There are also a handful of what I would consider "side characters" I involve on a recurring basis, but whom aren't full-fledged PNPCs as far as I'm concerned. 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.

<center>"This year I would like to give a commendation to Keegan, the writer behind Kivik/Robin Hopper. He has been one of the most reliable people in image production, a continuous source of inspiration and information, always looking for new techniques and sharing them with wilfulness and passion. On an artistic level, he has made several of my favourite images this year and I have seen him improve image by image and grow as an artist by leaps and bounds. Not only that, but his presence has been a continuous source of optimism, encouragement, and enthusiasm and embodies many of the best skills and characteristics that a drone in the collective (and an artist) should have. The image collective is better off having him with us!"</center>

<center>"This year, I’m delighted to induct Robin Hopper into The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement. Keegan, the writer behind Hopper, has truly gone above and beyond this past year, continuing to sim all of his characters wonderfully while he’s expanded in his responsibilities as a staff member for Amity, mentoring new ensigns and attending to the station’s wiki needs.
