Falkvord

Name:
Falkvord Anders

Rank:
Ensign

Age:
19

Race:
Nordic Human

Role:
Helmsman

Physical Description:
Falkvord stands a generous 6'5" though carries little weight on his bones. Hawkish grey eyes reside in his tall skull separated by a straight, angular nose. Concave cheeks give way to a sharp, slim jawline and jutting chin. Thin blonde hair covers his scalp, bordering on white in fairness, already beginning to recede from the front where a clean parting is combed to the back and sides. His mouth fits the rest of his sharp, thin visage though his teeth could use some work. His posture is often open and rich in vigour.

Personality:
Quick of wit, observant and an absolute fanatic behind the helm, Anders finds himself quite comfortable being the centre of attention, though he doesn't speak much more than needed instead preferring to focus at whatever task may be at hand. His comments can come off as abrasive at times and even a little juvenile, but his dependability and actions speak louder than his calm, careful tones. Stress appears to run off the youthful lad at a worrying rate, creating an illusion of lethargic apathy, a stark contrast to his near constantly-analytical and persistent mind. If curiosity killed the cat, then Anders was already on his second life.

Background before joining star Fleet:
Falkvord grew up in his home on Earth, a modest place set away from the urban backdrop of any major cities in the northern regions of Scandinavia. It wasn't until his mid teens that Falkvord showed any signs of having potential for his current role as Helmsman on the USS Grandeur. A disagreement with his teachers led to the snarky young lad suddenly refusing to study, a problem which had previously never plagued the boy's school career. No amount of pleading or punishment would see the icy Anders return to his studies, leaving him graded far below his expected potential. No longer destined to the bright future his parents had hoped for him, Falkvord began a series of outrageous expeditions into the unknown that now shrouded his future.
Spending much of his time hopping between menial jobs and hanging around outside local bars, Falkvord's future showed little sign of recovery until he fell into conversation with an aspirational Star Fleet Academy student. The idea of applying to such a prestigious organisation had been considered mere fantasy until then when a series of recruiting propaganda was placed before him on an outside table of Hel's Hammer one chilly autumn night. The following day his application was in and without too much care from his folks, used to to his lofty and outlandish ideas, his new journey began.

Experience in Starfleet:
Anders had never considered the idea of becoming a pilot of any sort, but the sheer romance of it all was enough to probe him into occupying the simulators at the academy after his surprise acceptance. Other matters of study were readily pushed aside in order to free up an extra hour or two to study spaceflight in greater detail and later practice it on the simulator. It was a rocky start, but fascination drove the young lad to fanaticism to the point where he was allowed to progress to helmsman selection without formally completing previous training as required by students, such was his ability after only a few short months. As a result, he lacked favour with senior academics of the institution and became something of a public enemy amongst students for his seemingly easy-way-out politics. Only when he graduated with something of a record score (and begrudgingly accepted into the hall of fame by senior staff) was any shadow of doubt removed over the young man's credibility.
Now thrust into the line of duty, Anders is forced to comprehend the enormous change of pace that his life has taken over such a brief period. His first assignment is to the brand new exploration vessel USS Grandeur, a post recommended by his flying instructor turned close friend Albert Hofmann.

Jinn

”Success is the path to Stagnation and Failure the Teacher of Innovation”
-Jinn Cloudborn-

Name: Jinn Cloudborn

Rank: Lieutenant

Age: 26

Race: Human/Heran

Role: Tactical & Security (Head of Department)

Physical Description:
Height: 1.9 (6’3”)
Weight: 74 (163)
Hair: Strawberry Blonde falling to the middle of her back
Eyes: Grey-Green
Body Type: Mesomorph

Personality: Thoughtful and Self-Controlled Jinn carries herself with an almost regal bearing sans the superiority of ego. Athletic and Graceful she presents herself as always prepared for any situation that requires a physical response. Analytical in even the most casual of settings she seems almost Vulcan except for her clear display of surface emotions though those are almost always under tight control. Anger and Disapproval are rare displays but when Jinn does allow such they are of Legendary levels her anger Volcanic and her disapproval frigid and palpable.

Background: Jinn was born on the Planet Hera and like many from that world viewed with some degree of suspicion due to its connections as a colony world of the Augments that left Earth in 2073 lead by the Heran Modality.

Her mother is Heran and her father a Federation Diplomat which marked her as a departure from the local custom of selective breeding and labeling her as a Ranac (Random Accident).

As a Ranac Jinn had to work that much harder in her youth to prove her right to exist by developing a focus and will that made her frightening among her own people. She learned many techniques of memory and physical control by studying the teaching methods of the Vulcans at the Federation Embassy even gaining a mentor named T’seret a Vulcan Science Academy observer and friend of her father’s.

She didn’t seek to become a human follower of Surak but to become a better Heran in the hope that she wouldn’t fall behind those of more self-controlled parents who had the advantage of generations of genetic control and direction only to discover that she had in her own way become something new.

Her mental abilities are the result of Vulcan teaching techniques which her mother a research scientist helped her with in an effort to show that her daughter was a valuable genetic line which should be explored and encouraged. Jinn excelled at sports though physically weaker than pure blood Herans by developing new and novel approaches to any obstacles and pushing herself three times as hard becoming more than any expected of what was basically a genetic sport.

Experience: Jinn was accepted on her first try to Star Fleet because of her test scores and the support of her Mentor T’seret.

Recruited by Red Squad Jinn turned them down instead seeking out others in the Academy who she shared an outsider trait with among their own people which were at first named the Misfits as a humorist dig and adopted as a badge of honor by her group who approached every unit task using novel and sometimes disastrous results.

Graduating 123rd out of 1,200 placed Jinn near the upper 10% and assured she would be a desirable and attainable new crew member at 21 years old her first ship assignment was aboard the NCC - Beagle (Oberth Class) as Assistant Tactical Head because of her scores and the small size of the staff aboard the Science vessel.

Reassigned to New Caledon Garrison after the near destruction of the Beagle after receiving the KOH (Karagite Order of Heroism) Jinn was made Garrison Tactical Officer where she languished for the last 2 years before being assigned to the NCC- Grandueur

Oh man, right when I saw the interest check, and I wanted the medical thing so bad, well, I might be in this.

@WelcmeToGudBrgr
Ok go for it

[Draconis Nevyn]

Oooh Jinn might just hate Lt. Commander Simia. Half Klingon. Anger out the head ridges

@Draconis Nevyn

Jinn hate someone she hasn't met? That doesn't sound very productive

@Draconis Nevyn

Hmm....Isn't that the normal thought process of all Chiefs of Engineering?

It is a tradition among those responsible for the operation of complex machinery and their Upkeep; like the Engineers of Naval ships or Flight lines. I suppose it was even common among those who worked on and maintained racing machines. After all, it is their hard work that manufactured and or maintenance which made the smooth operation possible

@RumikoOhara

You're not wrong there. They are going to be quite protective of it though as a Klingon. And not appreciate suggestions.

In all I'm going confident but easily irritated engineer. Less likely to kill you than an average Klingon. Unless you touch their stuff.

@Draconis Nevyn

I have been the CE of Several Galaxy Class starships and know them stem to stern, dorsal to ventral. I can tell you how long it takes to replenish the deuterium supplies using the Bussard Ramscoops; the proper procedures for the ejection of the WPS system's M/ARA

I am afterall a Geek Goddess

@RumikoOhara

I never usually play Engineering. Usually science or tactical. Science preferably. So this is new to me. I shall study the greats: B'elanna, LaForge and Scotty. If that fails then Simia may come to you, pride low and head bowed. They have only worked on the older Miramda class before

@Sirkaithethird

I was bored and thought I'd whip up something you might like to use

[Sirkaithethird]

@RumikoOhara
The first IC post will use that

[Draconis Nevyn]

I like it! I'll hopefully be able to finish up my cs when i get home

No hurry. May start this weekend depending on CS time
