[center][h3][b][color=2D9E11]Lieutenant Astrid Faust[/color][/b][/h3][h3][b]Engineer[/b][/h3][i][b]4 months on the Prize[/b][/i][/center]
[u][b][color=2D9E11]Born:[/color][/b][/u] 13-01-2371, Neu Hamburg orbital station, Wolf 1061
[u][b][color=2D9E11]Age:[/color][/b][/u] 29
[u][b][color=2D9E11]Race:[/color][/b][/u] Human
[u][b][color=2D9E11]Gender:[/color][/b][/u] Female
[hr][u][b][color=2D9E11]Appearance:[/color][/b][/u] Standing at a mere 161 centimeters and weighing 53 kilograms, Astrid is short and thin, at least by military standards, the perfect build for a spacer. As someone born and raised on a station, she has light skin that tans and burns easily, green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. Has no tattoos, notable birthmarks, piercings or other body modifications. An accident in late 2399 left her with second degree burns on her hands and scarring on the left side of her face. The latter causes a pronounced tic when she gets nervous or agitated.

[i]During Fleet Day public display at Wolf 1061c, early 2399[/i][/center][/hider][hr][u][b][color=2D9E11]Bio:[/color][/b][/u] Born in 2371 to a freight pilot father and propulsion technician mother on Neu Hamburg station in the Wolf 1061 system, her father died in 2374. Astrid grew up on the station, gained education in mechanical engineering between 2390 and 2395 and worked at the Neu Hamburg life support section between 2392 and 2395. Upon graduation in 2395, she applied for the Terran starfleet and completed basic training three months later. Given her educational background, then-Ensign Faust was admitted into follow-up engineering training, which she completed in 2396 with flying colors.

Following her engineering course, she spent a year on the I.S.S. Leonidas, working as a combat engineer. After being promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade the following year, she volunteered for salvage duty and was assigned to the I.S.S. Huntress as the ship’s assistant engineer. She also volunteered for public relations functions on Fleet Days and other occasions throughout her career. Faust stayed at the Huntress until she was promoted to Lieutenant, effective January 1st 2400, whereupon she requested transfer to the I.S.S. Prize for a change of scenery, getting a recommendation from her current commanding officer for her spotless service record and ability to kitbash a solution to almost anything out of mismatching parts, a talent honed throughout her career of both spaceborne and planetside work. [i]After a month to somewhat recuperate from her injury, Faust started her tour on the Prize in February 2400.[/i]

[u][b][color=2D9E11]Personality:[/color][/b][/u] Most of her former shipmates speak of a down-to-earth neat freak with a distinct lack of a brain-to-mouth filter, some may even say tact, leading her to speaking her mind without a care and often without being asked. While generally an easygoing person with a penchant for dry, sarcastic humor, misuse and subsequent damage of equipment has been observed to draw her ire. Her training officer noted her pride in her abilities as an engineer, at times to the point of arrogance, making it possible to manipulate her into doing something by challenging her ability to do it. She has an open and universal dislike of psychologists.

[list]
[*]Known to count cards.
[*]AB+ blood type.
[*]Mild Anemophobia (Tremors, sweating palms, rapid breathing) - Common among spacers due to associating indoor rushing air with a hull breach.
