His father acting as cheif technician during the Three Days War. He continued his education and formal training conducted at the Hawkings Institute on Eden Dome 3, Saggitarius Plateau, Mars. His technical capability of FTL systems and space craft maintenance are considered top marks, with additional experience in fabricateering, manufacture, space walking, robotics, and mechanical engineering. He has been relied upon time and again to not only repair systems, but also further optimize systems. He has shown to be a capable leader and is respected by his team. Additionally he has been recognized as a much needed morale officer, often times organizing and scheduling crew events designed to showcase movies or strengthen working relationship. His artistic capabilities have also been considered to add a breath of color and fresh air to the VITAE, a welcomed distraction from the growing tension. [/color] [b]Flaws:[/b] [color=aqua]Sullivan has a very stubborn and superior attitude when it comes to his duties. He will frequently rail against his superiors when it comes to matters of maintaining the ship and its systems and will often resolve issues his own way. Normally this results in a problem solved, but as expected on occasion he is wrong, most commonly for not knowing all the specifics that a superior might have known. Lately his behavior has been erratic and agressive. While Sullivan is considered social by other crew members, his increased consumption of alcohol has been noticed. While he has never reported for duty under the influence, he has been on record for causing eight public disturbances and has been reprimanded on two accounts for instigating two brawls and one case of assault, all within the last ten months. Evaluations for this behavior has been linked to depression and survivors guilt. The medication he has been taking for these symptoms no longer effects him the way it should, and the VITAE medical staff has not yet found an effective cocktail for him. He is currently to attend mandatory weekly psychiatric sessions and attend group therapy sessions.[/color] [b]Personal Effects:[/b] [color=aqua]Sullivan keeps a rather extensive collection of old world animations in old fashion plastic cassete boxes as well as posters and memorabilia of the characters starring in that media. He also keeps a number of sketching, painting, and inking supplies with various incomplete works filling a sizeable corner of his quarters. Other items include the suitcases that belongs to his living descendants which includes a oversized teddy bear and soccer bag with gear. He also has a hidden stash of alcohol which is common knowledge to pretty much everyone.[/color] [b]Personal History:[/b] [color=aqua]Keith Sullivan was born on Mars to a family of primarily Irish decent whom established private engineering contracts during the early days of Mar's habitation and terraforming. The Sullivan family had maintained a tradition of military service and engine manufacture and repair through the highlight years of the Martian Unity and Keith followed in his family's footsteps, even volunteering in scrap salvage with other youth groups during the Three Years War. He attended the Hawkins University at Eden to obtain degrees in mechanical engineering, advanced robotics, and Spacecraft Systems Specialization. Immediately afterwards he began his military service, working on the various ships and associating with Confederates, Nagasaki, and Fleeters throughout his career. He had barely been back to Mars since his recruitment into the Martian fleets. Following the marriage of a Fleeter, named Rosita, Sullivan pushed to be removed from military vessels to more logistical and civilian space craft. Due to his admirable record, this task was approved and he actually had and raised his family aboard such vessels. It was because of this approval that probably saved his life. It was the first military vessels that were comissioned to defend against the Devastator Threat, and as the battles grew closer to Mars, unity civilian ships were reequiped for military use. Sullivan personally supervised these efforts and his superiors had him reinstated on the Damacles, a Heavy Cruiser a few weeks before the Devastator Fleet reached Mars. While the Damacles acted as secondary command ship during the battle, it had also seen action and was heavily damaged. He had obtained three commedations for bravery for saving numerous lives and possibly the ship by preventing the ships fusion reactor from detatonating after a direct hit. Following this act, his name was included as the lucky few who would crew a genesis ark as a Senior Engineer, to be working under the Cheif Engineer. Despite constant attempts to do otherwise, the two family member limit was not over ridden to include his wife and their two children. His wife had chosen to be left behind beginning Sullivan's habit of anti-depressants and substance abuse. His open social nature however had led him to develop a number of positive connections which he had further nurtured, and had taken into artistic pursuits to express himself. This has lead him to become an unofficial morale officer of sorts on the VITAE whose planned events were a welcomed distraction for the crew and had given him projects to work on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the death of his Chief after a catastrophic coolant burst a year ago had also killed a few of Sullivan's crew, Sullivan had begun to fall back into bad habits but had taken to his new duties with equal comitment and efficiency. The growing malaise among the crew combined with a number of personal factors had caused Sullivan's depression and drinking to effect his psyche. This is having a cumulative effect on the rest of the crew whom had become more and more desperate for not only a new home, but anything to contend with the hopelessness of their travel through the endless void. Sullivan butts heads with the admiral and command staff on official buisness, but off the clock still has developed personal relationships with them, as they have something in common, the burden of command and loved ones lost. On a positive note; Sullivan had finally taken off his wedding ring perhaps in some small way, showing he is ready to move on.
