B. Background Summary:
-----------------------
RJ is a quiet and reserved person. However, he's always polite, especially when
first meeting a shipmate or senior officer. He prefers to maintain a degree of
professional detachment from his peers, believing that if one of them were ever
to commit a crime, any degree of personal familiarity might compromise his
objectivity and his investigation. It's not that he isn't friendly -- he simply
sees his reserve as a valuable part of his Security skill set. He secretly envies
the Vulcan ability to maintain composure and detachment.
RJ almost never drinks alcohol, even in social situations. If he were ever to
actually *have* to drink, he would avoid having more than one if at all possible.
He is not beyond dumping a drink out in a potted plant when no one is watching.
Needless to say, he is practically certain to never become drunk -- aboard
INTREPID or not.
RJ has a close-knit family back on Earth, and he's proud of his cultural heritage.
His father's family can trace their ancestors back to some of the earliest German
settlers in Texas, and his mother's family is a well-established and respected
Mexican-American family, with ranching and farming operations on both sides of the
Rio Grande. His mother and father both work at a working/dude ranch near Marfa; his
father is the livestock supervisor, while his mother is the front desk supervisor at
the lodging facility. While in high school, RJ worked part-time as a tour guide and
horseback riding instructor for the guests.
Earlier in life, RJ had hoped to become a veterinarian and to return to the ranch to
work alongside his father. But all that changed when he escorted a group of Starfleet
flag officers on an pleasant afternoon horseback ride. Unknowingly, the group
encroached upon a rattlesnake, and upon seeing it, one of the guests' horses reared
up. The Commodore who was riding that horse was thrown, landing only feet away from
the snake. Without thinking, RJ wheeled his horse around, drew his revolver and
dispatched the snake before it could strike. Needless to say, the Starfleet officers
were impressed by their young guide's coolness and accuracy under pressure, and
encouraged him to apply to Starfleet Academy. RJ might still have been admitted the
the Academy had he not had recommendation letters from eight flag officers, but the
letters certainly didn't hurt his chances.
At the Academy, RJ pursued the pre-med career track, hoping to get an M.D. degree
that he could later supplement with a D.V.M. degree (which would be ideal for working
on the ranch). But over and over, his instructors noted his propensity and aptitude
for Security operations. Finally, after nearly two years at the Academy, he changed
career tracks, though he was obliged to repeat the second-your course of study, adding
in several required security-related courses.
Even though RJ graduated in the bottom half of his class (actually, the bottom third),
he's not an intellectual lightweight, as his double major indicates. In addition to his
Academy degree, he possesses a great deal of common sense, and is adept at 'reading'
other people and guessing their motivations with a good degree of accuracy. This skill
serves him well in tense situations, but also at the poker table -- one of the few
social activities he's likely to engage in with his shipmates. He is an excellent
poker player, and it won't take him long to gain a shipboard reputation as a card
shark. Off duty, RJ favors Western wear; boots, a Stetson hat, black denim jeans, a
Western shirt and a belt with a rodeo buckle. The only accessories he might ever add
are sunglasses and a sidearm, as RJ will always be armed aboard ship -- either a phaser
or a conventional firearm (or both).
RJ has the following firearms aboard (along with plenty of ammunition), stored as
indicated:
Winchester Model 70 rifle, in .458 caliber (armory)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX short-barrel shotgun, in XXX gauge (armory)
Taurus Raging Bull revolver, in .454 Casull caliber (x2, armory)
M1911 .45 automatic pistol (secured in quarters)
Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan revolver, in .44 Special caliber (secured in quarters)
He is capable of maintaining all these weapons and has the equipment and skills needed
for minor repairs.
RJ is very much an exemplar of the strong, silent cowboy archetype. For other exemplars,
see Western films starring Clint Eastwood, Sam Elliott or Tommy Lee Jones.
Only close friends and family members should call him "RJ." Only his immediate family
members can get away with calling him "Bobby Joe." If you're not related to him or if
you are not a very close friend, "Lieutenant Fischer" is probably your best bet if you're
going to address him directly. Anything more familiar than that (besides "sir") will
only irritate him, though he'd never let on.

V. Skills Profile
------------------
Physically strong and hardy by Human standards. Is qualified as a starship
Chief Security Officer, an EMT/Medical Orderly as well as a paralegal/legal
clerk. Is a highly skilled marksman, and is also very familiar with outdoor
survival methods, particularly in desert, plains or grassland environments.
Also familiar with ranching and various agricultural techniques; is also
skilled in equestrian methods and techniques.
----------------------------------------------------------
VI. Recent Fitness Report
--------------------------
"Lieutenant Fischer is a focused and intent individual. He is remarkably
effective under simulated combat stress and is able to maintain his effectiveness
for an extended period during such conditions. He is also capable of maintaining
his effectiveness and decisiveness during extended field missions, even when short
of sleep, rations and resources. He sets an excellent example for his junior
commissioned and petty officers, and sets a challenging pace for his senior officers
as well. His physical fitness and endurance are outstanding.
"He has a diverse skill set and makes an exceptionally good addition to any landing
party. He also displays a remarkable tenacity when it comes to broadening and
deepening his Security-related skills. If it has any possible connection to a
security officer's job, Lieutenant Fischer wants to learn more about it as soon as
he can.
"The only quality in which he seems to be deficient is communication. Lieutenant
Fischer is rather quiet and is not especially given to convivial socialization. He
has passing acquaintances in all shipboard departments, but so far as I am aware, he
does not have anyone aboard DRAKE who would qualify as a close friend, even after
nearly four years aboard.
"That being said, it is possible that his detachment is a professional adaptation
that permits him to be more objective in his investigations. It is certainly possible
that a Security officer with close relationships to criminal suspects might find their
work and effectiveness compromised. If this is why Lieutenant Fischer avoids close
friendships, then it is no weakness. Rather, it would be another example of his
professionalism and dedication."
-Commander George MacAndrews
CO, USS Drake
----------------------------------------------------------
VII. Psychological Profile
---------------------------
"Lieutenant Fischer is a fine and industrious young officer who is exceptionally
dedicated and persistent. He can always be counted on to pitch in and carry more
than his share of the workload. He is totally focused on mission success, even
under emergency conditions. However, his psychological profile indicates a high
level of stress, possibly due to a lack of close interpersonal relationships among
his crewmates. It would be advisable for Lieutenant Fischer to develop some closer
relationships at his next assignment, if for no other reason than to build an
emotional support network. Such networks are not especially important for Vulcans,
but they are of critical importance for Humans.
"I also recommend that Fischer's next commanding officer enforce periodic shore and
personal leave from time to time. Fischer's dedication and drive appear to come at
an emotional cost, and without an emotional support network on which to rely, the best
way to ameliorate that cost would be to require him to take periodic leaves of any
length.
"If Lieutenant Fischer can successfully address these issues, he would be well suited
for a junior command position."
- Lieutenant Commander Lodovico D'Abruzzo
Psychologist, Star Fleet Medical

VIII. Current Recreational Interests
-------------------------------------
Marksmanship, skeet shooting, small arms maintenance, horseback riding, camping,
hiking, and rock/mountain climbing. Also interested in Terran detective fiction,
particularly the works of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
----------------------------------------------------------
IX. Miscellaneous Information
------------------------------
Though he hasn't realized it, RJ is uncommonly well-suited to Starfleet life and to
leading others under fire. He firmly believes in leading from the front, and
displays considerable bravery in the face of danger. However, he is not reckless or
a daredevil -- he simply assesses the situation, determines how best to move the
mission forward and then commits himself to the plan of action. This explains why he
has as many Starfleet decorations as he does. Paradoxically, one award he hasn't
received is the Wounded Lion; he simply hasn't yet been wounded in action, despite
repeatedly exposing himself to hazards and danger.
One way to get on RJ's good side is to prepare him a filling and delicious meal. He
is especially fond of Tex-Mex cuisine, as well as Texan/German dishes. Then again,
he's also perfectly happy with a meat-and-potatoes meal, especially if a generous
quantity of good grass-fed Texas beef is involved.
