Crew of Amity Outpost

Hopper-FO-Option-550.png

Lt. Commander Robin Hopper
"Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature."
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Lt. Commander Robin Hopper is a Human/Centauran woman serving as First Officer aboard Amity Outpost. Her fiancé, Lt. Commander Nathan Richards, serves as the station's Chief of Operations .

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.

In 2402, following an eventful year (including the events of Frontier Day, the rise of a rogue Hirogen faction, and the end of Rivi Vataix's tenure as Ambassador and FDC Commanding Officer of Amity Outpost), Commander Wil Ukinix was promoted to the role of Commanding Officer and Hopper, as the station's serving Second Officer, was promoted to the role of First Officer. This would be her second time serving as Ukinix's First Officer (following a brief stint aboard the USS Jemison during a War Games operation) but would mark an official and permanent shift in her career from the Science Division to Command.

Personal History

Early Life

Growing up on the “old frontier” world of Theta VII, Robin always felt like she had ‘the best of both worlds’ in her reach. New discoveries were still being made and visitors from exciting new civilizations still traveled through the ports of Theta with regularity – yet, as an established colony, they also boasted the developed infrastructure, technology, and resources that characterized life in The Federation.

Robin’s parents, a Human FDC representative and a Centauran terraforming consultant, had met on Velestus (Alpha Centauri IV), but opted to settle down on Theta VII - a world that neither of them called ‘home’, where they felt they could make a fresh start. There, they took over the management of a state-of-the-art hydroponic farming estate from its retiree owners.

This environment fostered Robin’s interest in Science from a young age – though she never dreamt of joining Starfleet or becoming a career scientist. Throughout her youth, Robin was certain she would become an artist. Her love of art and media (including modern holostories as well as vintage films and books) led her to undertaking an internship with Encrer Livre – an Earth-based publishing company – in her late teens.

It was during this internship that she first discovered her interest in holo-programming (and realized she had a knack for it). Exploring further, she quickly discovered an unexpected love for programming and computer science – finding the near-endless creative possibilities and practicability of the skill exciting. As she neared the end of her schooling, Robin realized she wanted to better understand the underlying principles that advanced computing and hologram technology were built on[3].

Education - University

To continue her studies, following her newly-developed interest in STEM subjects, Robin traveled to Earth for better educational prospects. While she found being far from home challenging for the first year, she quickly grew to appreciate the opportunities that studying - and living - on Earth afforded. She completed her Masters graduate studies at UC Berkeley, then went on to complete her PhD in Physics at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco.

During her time studying at Berkeley, Robin first experienced disco music and the band ABBA[4], which quickly became favourites of hers. This was also when she discovered her intolerance for the grain 'hops', as her first time trying beer led to a brief hospitalization[4]. Hopper also played volleyball for her University team[5], and still has a UC Berkeley tank top, which she proudly wears during workouts.

Education - Starfleet Academy

After six years studying physics in California, it was hard to ignore the call of Starfleet. She applied for the Academy on a whim, submitting an application to complete her PhD studies that she never expected to be accepted. According to Hopper's own account, she submitted her Academy Application on a dare after drinking eight shots of tequila while celebrating the completion of her Master's thesis[6]. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. As a Starfleet Cadet, she earned her doctorate in four years and was able to further expand her knowledge of programming through a few elective Engineering courses. This time at the Academy also allowed her to round out her Scientific knowledge, attaining a wider set of skills that would make her a formidable Science Officer upon graduation. As a result of her exceptional studies, Robin graduated Starfleet Academy with the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.

Trivia

OOC & Background

  • Hopper is Keegan's second Player Character (his original was Kivik, as evidenced by his Wiki username and 118 email address).
  • Robin's surname, Hopper, was inspired by real-world computer scientist and navy rear-admiral Grace Hopper.
  • Hopper's personality is intentionally a blend of Keegan's own, his IRL partner's, Alison Brie (face claim), and Annie (her character in Community).

Family & Names

  • Hopper can speak both High and Low Centauran fluently [8].
  • Robin is named for an uncle she never met. Her mother, Melissa's, brother was a security officer aboard the USS Saratoga and was killed during the battle of Wolf 359 in the year 2367 - four and a half years before Robin was born[1].
  • Robin's Centauran name is Kinolaisi[9], a "Private Name" in accordance with Centauran Custom, shared only with close family and intimate partners. She is accordingly nicknamed "Kino"[10].
  • Hopper's mother, Melissa, has affectionately nicknamed her "Birdie" [11].
  • According to Hopper, her nickname, "Hops", comes from her intolerance for Hops-based beverages, such as beer [12].
  • When Hopper was a child, she often insisted on being called "Hoppy"[13].

Before Starfleet

  • Hopper took dance lessons as a child at the "Cochrane Community Center" on Theta VII [14].
  • Growing up, Hopper was fascinated by the ongoing story of the USS Voyager and remains a 'fan' of Admiral Janeway and the iconic Intrepid Class vessel[15].
  • On Theta VII, Hopper regularly visited the "Paydirt Saloon" [16][17] and learned to play cards from the miners who frequented it [18].
  • Despite living on Earth for ten years, Hopper has never visited Australia [19].
  • During her University years, Hopper played on her school volleyball team [5] and was a member of the UC Berkeley Stratagema Club[20].
  • After leaving Theta VII, Hopper acquired a tattoo in homage to her homeworld. The Theta symbol is tattooed between her shoulder blades.
