Background Summary: ----------------------- Hsina has had a tragic life. Born in Iraq, her father was an officer on the USS Kelvan while her mother was a medical doctor and a teacher of medicine at Baghdad University. Hsina was 16-years-old at the time of her father’s death during Nero’s incursion. Wanting to honor her father’s legacy, Hsina became fascinated with the people and culture of Iraq’s past, eventually becoming a Doctor of Archaeology and one of the foremost experts in Mesopotamian history. Rather than teaching, however, she again followed her father’s path and joined Starfleet. Hsina served with distinction and was rewarded at age 37 with a prestigious assignment to the Vulcan ministry of culture, where she was the senior archaeologist on a major prehistoric Vulcan dig site. That assignment was cut short with the implosion of the planet, an event that Hsina and her team escaped at the last possible second on one of the last transports leaving Vulcan. She witnessed the second half of the battle of Vulcan from the bridge of the USS Thylek Shran, the ship that rescued her from the rapidly disintegrating transport ship. On the Shran, Hsina stepped in and helped with damage control as one of the few able-bodied Starfleet officers alive on board. Upon return from Vulcan, Hsina was assigned to the USS Defiant as 2nd in the Science Department and head of the planetary sciences sub-section. She was present during the Altura mission and was initially in command of the away team to the moon, but was badly injured in a fall barely thirty minutes following beaming to the surface, and relinquished command to the next senior officer. Unable to walk on her broken leg and with a shattered hip and major tissue damage to the thigh, the bleeding was stopped with a tournequet. By the time of her rescue by the Constellation, gangrene had set in and Hsina was delirious, and very near to death. She lost the leg, though a new one was grown for her during the long months of recovery. Of all of the original crew of the Defiant, LT Hsina Amman was considered the most critical on her rescue and was not expected to survive. Survive she did, ultimately becoming the only member of the crew declared fit to return to duty. She was offered any science job in the fleet, but had a strange feeling that unless she returned to Defiant, she would forever live in fear and depression. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV. Skills Profile ------------------ Hsina is a highly skilled archaeologist, expert in the handling of delicate relics and the identification and evaluation of cultural ruins. She is also a skilled geologist, a background she acquired more due to her love of spelunking than any interest in mining or other more usual geological pursuits. Totally out of character for a girl raised in a conservative Muslim society, Hsina is something of a masochist. She had been bookish and even nerdy as a child and teenager, but upon learning of the death of her father, she immediately starting doing the most dangerous activities she could find, somehow trying to cheat death. From high-cliff diving to hang gliding and other extreme sports, she gradually moved to professional fighting, something she was actually built for with her 6’1” frame and broad shoulders. By the age of 20 she looked much like the powerful warrior women of the Klingon empire and was competing in unlimited fighting events against male and even alien opponents. She has maintained a rigorous physical training regimen and is far stronger than most men, and extremely skilled in both clean and dirty fighting. If its connected to a dangerous sport, she’s probably done it, and has settled on spelunking in deep caves as the only way to really settle her mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VI. Recent Fitness Report -------------------------- Lt. Amman is very lucky to be alive. There was no rejection of the new leg and she is still awkward in walking, she has quickly taken to pushing it in the gym and building it to match the strength of the rest of her body. Otherwise, Lt. Amman has nearly completed her recovery and should be fit to return to duty from a physical standpoint following verification of test results. Dr. Rachel Kraus, Starfleet Academy, Duty Physician ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VII. Psychological Profile --------------------------- I do not understand why this officer has shown no signs of depression, dementia or other mental illness following her ordeal while every single other member of Defiant’s crew are facing long and difficult recoveries. Perhaps it is just the amount of loss that Lt Amman has previously faced, both in the death of her father on the Kelvan and her experiences on Vulcan as the planet imploded around her. Lt. Amman is slightly restless and on-edge, but considering everything she has been through, is remarkably stable and well-centered. While I would recommend regular care and observation by a competent medical officer, I cannot in good conscience go against Lt. Amman’s request to return to the Defiant for duty. She believes that returning will help her to rationalize and understand what happened, and in my professional opinion, I must agree with her. Dr. Kevin Hart, Starfleet Academy, Duty Counselor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VIII. Current Recreational Interests ------------------------------------- Ultimate Fighting, Kickboxing, Spelunking, Bodybuilding, Heptathalon, Extreme Sports, Binge Drinking, Pain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IX. Miscellaneous Information ------------------------------ Hsina is an extremely tough nut to crack. The mental scars run extremely deep, and that was before her experience on the Defiant. If a psychiatrist were to deeply analyze her, there is no way she would have been cleared for dutuy, but since she has spent so many years containing her pain, she has become so adept at concealing. In short, she knew how to answer the questions on the psych evals to assure a passing result, even though most of her answers were complete bullshit. Hsina is a very troubled individual, using stimulation of whatever form is available to keep her head on straight. From binge drinking to extreme sports and even the infliction of intense though non-permanent pain, she does whatever is necessary to face the world each day. Somehow, despite that she ends up being extremely efficient and effective at assignments, most likely because orders and assignments are a place to focus her attention that distracts her, however briefly, from the inner pain. She has also acquired a fascination with weapons since Altura, and during her recovery took classes in elemental chemistry and metalurgy at San Francisco State University. Roleplaying note: Hsina has a VERY intense stare and is quite an imposing figure, though there is clearly a lot of pain behind her eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ End BioFile
