Nilsen enjoys an overall positive relationship with his family, even though he doesn't get to see them often due to his career. His environment growing up could be considered somewhat chaotic, with fights breaking out between siblings and then resolving in the blink of an eye. Lhandon is closest to his younger brother Kei'ran; however, as children, the two fought the most. Most of the family live on or near the farm, but Lhandon is the first to leave the planet for such an extended period. His younger brother Madison left Gault and secured a role in law enforcement on Deep Space Nine approximately two years later. Lhandon's younger sister Isabella has expressed an interest in following in Lhandon's footsteps and may be planning to join Starfleet. | Nilsen enjoys an overall positive relationship with his family, even though he doesn't get to see them often due to his career.

Fueled by a desire for excitement and a break from routine, Lhandon and his brother Kei'ran connected over a spate of petty crime, including trespassing, joyriding, theft, and anti-social behavior. On several occasions, he participated in graffiti sprees that left a mark on several public buildings in the local community, with both brothers venturing out under the cover of night. However, he could see that this was a path that was not going to serve him well. This was hammered home by both siblings being caught by their father trespassing on another farm. Their father did more to set him straight than any law enforcement officer. | Fueled by a desire for excitement and a break from routine, Lhandon and his brother Kei'ran connected over a spate of petty crime, including trespassing, joyriding, theft, and anti-social behavior.

Soon, he needed a way out, and while he loved his home of Gault, he didn't see a future there. There was no space for him; his older brother would take care of the farm, and his other siblings would find their own paths. He learned that some years back, the Rozhenko family's adopted son joined Starfleet, but the details were fuzzy. In many ways, Nilsen saw Starfleet as his ticket off Gault, and he signed up as soon as he turned 18. Nilsen tried to persuade Kei'ran to join Starfleet with him but was not successful{{headerX|darkgoldenrod|Cadet: Starfleet Academy, 2396-2400| | Soon, he needed a way out, and while he loved his home of Gault, he didn't see a future there.

His rebellious phase included a toxic romantic relationship and confrontational behaviour. Joining Echo Squad for search and rescue piloting, his rivalry with fellow cadet Blackwood culminated in a crash during a training mission. This incident led to his dismissal from Echo Squad and a shift in career focus to operations and communications. Despite frequent fights, he developed a friendship with medical student Nera Ay and graduated as a qualified HCO officer in 2400. He was posted to the USS Oumuamua, having transformed from a potential helm officer to a versatile operations officer.{{ExpandableSummary |Title = Years One & Two - Acadmeic Performance & Romantic Relationship | ||

Nilsen's academic journey concluded with him graduating as a qualified HCO officer in 2400, rather than the dedicated Helm officer he had initially planned to become, and being posted to the USS Oumuamua. | Nilsen's academic journey concluded with him graduating as a qualified HCO officer in 2400, rather than the dedicated Helm officer he had initially planned to become, and being posted to the USS Oumuamua. | ||

During this time, Nilsen has been working hard in the lower decks and tried to make himself a valued member of the operations team, the change in his attitude post echo squad could be noted, he was more nervous and reserved. He joined the Oumuamua in mid 2400, met his roommate who he affectionately refers to as his "brorooomy," made a huge impact in his first mission and was showing a positive change in his behaviour. He was also valuable in helping the operations team to install their new Operations Centre as a part of the [[Focused Operation Refit Taskforce (Project Fort)]]. He also took part in a secret mission to learn more about possible Zet behaviour in the Alpha Quadrant.[[File:Lhandon Nilsen Ensign.png|thumb|Nilsen on the USS Oumuamua - Mid 2399|202x202px]]Nilsen was on track to becoming a model Starfleet officer however his time on the Oumuamua has not been without incident. Old issues, a chip on his shoulder and past failures all affected his present day relationships as well as reckless behaviour at the Denali Invitational. According to Commander Etan "It was clear that Nilsen was a gifted and promising officer, but he kept getting in his own way." <ref>Commander Etan Iljor - Into The Unknown - https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/IvJJe4lUeho/m/iAv51K6tAQAJ</ref> | ||
