| Ensign '''Doreen Finch''', endearingly known as Doz, is a lively, hands-on and occasionally facetious Human, currently posted as an Engineering Officer to the [[USS Gorkon]], the flagship of the [[Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce]].
| |
|
| |
| A prior-enlisted crewman, Finch initially qualified as a Maintenance Engineer, out of the Technical Services Academy on Mars. Her passionate devotion to work and her unyielding ability to adapt led her to postings such as the ''USS Bonestell'', ''John Muir'', ''Marigold'' and many others. With the sudden death of her life-long friend, fellow recruit and confidant Murphy, Finch - not herself and deeply affected - finally accepted a long-standing offer to commission into the officer ranks.

| [[File:The Falklands.jpg|thumb|left|Doreen's Birthplace, the Falklands, Earth]]
| | {{#css: |
| Doreen was born in the city of Stanley, East Falkland, to parents Iris and Frederick Finch.
| | img { border-radius:10px; overflow: hidden; } |
| | | }} |
| As the last sibling of four, she was humorously thought of as the runt of the litter, a quip not helped by her small stature and scrawniness. Her mother Iris was a specialist petrologist who studied the topography of Earth's South Atlantic islands, while her father Frederick mostly worked away as an enlisted engineer for Starfleet. Both parents originated from the West Midlands region of England. They each had hard-as-nails, witty but firm personalities; traits also exhibited in Doreen and all three of her brothers.

| | | Doz Finch Image 2.png |
| She and her brother Wallace, the brother closest to her in age, used to watch the sunrise in the local woodlands of Birmingham, until he left for the Martian Tech Academy as seemed to be tradition. He left her behind to deal with her mother, who at the time was miserable and gave Doz earache.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/hW2r8iPcrXI "Caught in a Dream"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 240005.01</ref>
| | Doz Finch Image 2.png|Notably energetic and a touch on the restless side, [[Doz Finch]] has enjoyed an adventurous career spanning over forty years and seven ships, mostly in maintenance roles. But when the tragic loss of her nearest and dearest friend Murve Norström happened, everything changed. Often seen as the tea-guzzling life of the party, few would know of how deeply she grieves his death, and the challenges she now faces in the aftermath. |
| | | Miaxdiso Avoi 1.2.png|As an incredibly sociable creature, [[Miaxdiso Avoi]] is in her element when attending high society events, rubbing shoulders with big political, spiritual and otherwise eminent figures, taking all of it quite seriously indeed. Obsessed with formalities and fashion, she can at times be a fussy character, but still one with a full heart and good intentions. |
| Before Doreen reached her teenage years, her father Frederick lost his life when his ship collided with another one. Iris, now befallen with a deep depression, left the East Falklands and her career, and relocated the family back to the city of Birmingham.
| | Sepulsra Hex.jpg|Once considered a “rogue” by Professors at the University of Betazed, this highly talented telepath has transcended more than just expectations. Told that institutions on Betazed would never take her prying style seriously, [[Sepulsra Hex]] joined Starfleet as a means to an end, but also to escape the “scandal” of her rocky education and what that did to her family. Her time at the Shemsh colony has been some of her most formative years. |
| | | GIRIA PALNIN.png|[[Giria Palnin]] was a taunting, sly and particularly vain Cardassian, holding the rank of Glinn within the Cardassian Obsidian Order. Considered beautiful, she was well known for using it to her advantage, until her patience waned and an irascible mean streak reared its ugly head instead. After years of clawing her way to the top, all was lost to Maquis hands in the colony of Witherington. |
| Without purpose or motivation, and desperately sad, Iris rapidly deteriorated, no longer able to leave the house, socialise or parent her children, becoming the shadow of the woman she once was. This experience traumatised Doreen, who felt as though her mother-no longer recognisable-may well have died. That memory, some forty-five years prior, has continued to fuel in her an habitual, and sometimes unhealthy need to always be working, and an inability to tolerate too much negativity for fear of becoming like her mother.

| |
| Around age 20, Finch attended an intensive programme at the Mars Technical Services Academy, and it's attached speciality school, and soon after qualified as a Maintenance Engineer, focused on checking, repairing and servicing the interior subsystems of Federation starships. The abridged programme gave her skills in damage control that ranged from maintaining ships equipment and systems, firefighting and prevention, and the servicing or repair of components affected by electrical, mechanical, chemical, radiological and nuclear damage, in either combat or day-to-day non-combat situations.
| |
| | |
| Although not her speciality, on her first Tour of Duty aboard the ''USS Bonestell'', she was regularly ordered to perform maintenance on the ship's outer hull by a cantankerous Chief Engineering Officer. It was during these duties however that she ended up fostering an appreciation for spacewalking.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/8N_rk4wOtpQ "The Flavour of Electric Failure"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239912.08</ref>
| |
| | |
| Despite a non-Academic route into her field, Finch's practical, hands-on and sometimes coarse approach to engineering enabled her to quickly understand ships systems, resulting in clever, quicker repairs - though not without mistakes. Her preference to learn by hand caused her to develop a series of habits, such as unnecessarily squinting at manuals in concentration, and her proclivity for holding mechanical artefacts to her mouth or in between her teeth, thereby tasting them.
| |
| | |
| Whilst serving as a Chief Petty Officer on the ''USS John Muir'', a 'regular haunt' of hers was Starbase 24, and during what should have been a normal shore leave, all hell broke loose when the starbase' shields failed during an oncoming meteor shower, resulting in a station-wide evacuation except for herself and the other engineers present that day, such as a cloddish [[Bolian]] named Bofer.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/b-tZ35wKTG8/m/eI7biQJUBwAJ "Tempting Tunnels"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239911.12</ref>

| |
| * She drinks english tea while on duty, and won't hear nothing more about it.
| |
| * She eats in tiny amounts, and seldom finishes her food; red meat, fish, toast or biscuits, but nothing mealy.
| |
| * She's an insomniac—opting for intermittent 40 minute naps.
| |
| * She loathes Sickbays; mainly the smell of them.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/HaUpk_nGMuA "The Camel's Back"], [[Doz Finch]], {{USS|Gorkon}}, SD 239930.12</ref>

| |'''Captain Koth - Officer Candidate School Sponsor'''
| |
| [[File:KOTH.jpg.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Captain Koth]]
| |
| Crotchety, irritable, and yet a brilliant and fair leader, Captain Koth is the Commanding Officer of the USS ''Marigold'' who tends to take a backseat approach to managing his crew, preferring to leave Gepe Grasa to it. Sometimes thought of as aloof and distant, Finch knows different; originally a science officer, Koth admits his lack of engineering knowledge, and often asked Finch for her professional opinion on matters - even after first getting Zeeza's. In the end, it was Koth who sponsored her to attend the Officer Candidate School, urging her to commission to the higher ranks.

| |
| [[File:HEEZA.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Zeeza]]
| |
| Airy, analytical, smart, and yet charming, Zeeza is the Denobulan Chief Engineer of the USS ''Marigold'', who shared a close professional relationship with Finch who at the time was the ship's only Master Chief Petty Officer. A skilled shields specialist, she along with Finch's damage control skills, managed to mitigate the impact of a massive solar flare on the ship's shields and systems, cutting repairs down from a month to only a week.

| |'''Commander Gepe Grasa - First Officer of the [[USS Marigold]]'''
| |
| [[File:GRASA.png|thumb|140px|left|Gepe Grasa]]
| |
| Ruthless, egotistical, and a staunch disciplinarian, Commander Gepe Grasa is the First Officer of the USS ''Marigold'' who despite her sociopathic tendency to bully her own crew, held a ''certain degree'' of interest in Finch's skill. Only a certain degree, mind you. As an ex Security and Tactical officer, Grasa personally and deliberately selected a weak successor, so that she could assert her influence in missions. Her go to style of leadership is aggression, something that Koth has always ignored. A collector of trophies, and highly competitive, it's believed on the lower decks that she's gunning for Koth's position, and that if he were to ever mysteriously disappear, she's likely got something to do with it.

| |'''Lieutenant Gnaxac - Engineer on the [[USS Gorkon]]'''
| |
| [[File:Gnaxac.png|thumb|140px|left|Gnaxac]]
| |
| One of the first engineers Finch met onboard the USS ''Gorkon''. She is fond of his stuttering disposition, and determined spirit. She considers him a standout Ferengi, and trusts his professional opinion, as someone who knows the ship more intimately than she does.
