| |
| V. Biographical Notes
| |
| =====================
| |
|
| |
| Taka was the third of three children, descended from ancient North
| |
| American tribesmen. Taka grew up on a grassy plateau where his tribe's
| |
| rich cultural heritage infused and molded his young life. There he
| |
| learned to survive in the wilderness and to bring down game with arrow,
| |
| spear, sling, and trap.
| |
|
| |
| His parents put him to work in the family freighting business by age 12.
| |
| They acquainted him with basic management, trade routes, starports,
| |
| spacecraft, and the myriad mercantile species in New Rigel's corner of
| |
| the galaxy. By eighteen, Taka had learned to pilot cargo haulers, how to
| |
| keep archaic warp drives working, and tactics for defeating the local
| |
| pirate menace.
| |
|
| |
| Taka rose to prominence quickly and took commmand of his first freighter
| |
| at age 24. Over the next few years he faced many challenges. He defeated
| |
| Naith pirates twice, weathered the infamous New Rigel ion storm of 2407,
| |
| helped rescue his brother Aunoo from Feringi opportunists, and aided the
| |
| USS ARIZONA in tracking down an Orion slave ship.
| |
|
| |
| Misfortune caught up with the Kwihanis when the Naith raided New Rigel
| |
| and took Kwihani's home settlement hostage. The imprisoned clan was
| |
| removed to the caves of a Naith controlled world. There the hostages
| |
| faced gross mistreatment, cold, damp, and starvation,
| |
|
| |
| The Naith captors deposited their prisoners within an immensely huge
| |
| network of sealed caverns to await a randsom payment. The heavy minerals
| |
| of that dungeon precluded any hope of an orbiting rescue ship scanning
| |
| the hundred little lives in the planet's bowels. Only Taka managed to
| |
| escape the guard and flee into the tunnel maze.
| |
|
| |
| Taka braved the dark wet caves for days, living off underground streams
| |
| and rodents, until finally, he made his way to open sky. By then,
| |
| Starfleet had chased a Naith raider ship to that world. The USS TOKYO
| |
| rescued Taka from orbit. Taka then fearlessly guided an away team back
| |
| through the caves, to free his family.
| |
|
| |
| Family freighters quickly took the clan back to their shattered homes.
| |
| Taka offered the TOKYO his tactical experience with the Naith as reason
| |
| to stay aboard and help hunt down the criminals. The TOKYO's chief of
| |
| security, Lemitt Vornholt, took note of Taka's vengeful state of mind.
| |
| Lemitt's shared his own stories of suffering injustice and betrayal. His
| |
| faith opened Taka's mind to the peace of the Christianity.
| |
|
| |
| The Naith eventually met justice at the hands of USS TOKYO. The TOKYO's
| |
| captain, impressed by Taka Kwihani's abilities and character, offered to
| |
| sponsor him to Starfleet Academy. Taka at first felt ambivalence to the
| |
| idea. He believed his family needed him to rebuild their homes. They,
| |
| however, convinced Taka that it would be quite honorable to join the
| |
| service that had saved the family. Besides, they argued, his talents
| |
| could help save more lives in Starfleet.

| |
| VI. Personality Notes
| |
| ======================
| |
|
| |
| A. Overview
| |
| -----------
| |
| Taka Kwihani likes to see things get done. He often demonstrates gruff
| |
| impatience when he believes matters are not proceeding satisfactorily. If
| |
| he cannot find a better person for the job, he will take control of the
| |
| situation himself.
| |
|
| |
| Competent confidence forms the core of Kwihani's command abilities. He
| |
| has already spent years commanding spacecraft, studying a dozen sentient
| |
| races, and practicing survival skills. He is shrewd, inventive, observant,
| |
| careful, and exceedingly responsible.
| |
|
| |
| Kwihani is a very private individual. He selects his friends with
| |
| exsquisite care and is fiercely loyal. In the past he has relied on his
| |
| brother and sister as emotional sounding boards. He has felt himself less
| |
| open to them, however, since converting to Christianity. His spiritual
| |
| mentor, Lemitt Vornholt, has his complete trust but their Starfleet
| |
| careers allow for little interaction. His relationships at the academy
| |
| never satisfied the loneliness he feels.
| |
|
| |
| Despite his ordeal with the Naith raiders, Kwihani remains a well
| |
| adjusted person. Anger is an emotion Kwihani works hard to control. He
| |
| can become extremely agitated when he witnesses cruelty. He is careful to
| |
| act amiable toward others even when he feels insulted by their actions.
| |
| Unlike many officers, he shies from complaining openly about the
| |
| shortcomings of superiors.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| B. Ambitions
| |
| ------------
| |
| To be an outstanding officer
| |
| To attain command of a starship by SD 24200101 (unmet).
| |
|
| |
| C. Annoyances
| |
| -------------
| |
| Hates it when people ignore his suggestions when he has had more
| |
| leadership and combat experience than most of his peers.
| |
|
| |
| D. Favorites Things
| |
| -------------------
| |
| Scriptures: Psalms 137:8-9
| |
| Color: Green and Yellow
| |
| Beverage: Pinia Coladas
| |
| Activities: Getting Caught in the Rain
| |
| Enjoys: Wide Open Spaces
| |
| Prefers: Brunettes
| |
|
| |

| |
| Tactics Brainstorming
| |

| |
| Shuttle Piloting
| |
| Practicing Martial Arts
| |
|
| |
| F. Idiosyncracies
| |
| -----------------
| |
| Taka does not care what term is used to describe his anscestory as
| |
| long as it is said with appropriate respect.
| |
| He always keeps his phaser on 30 degree wide beam stun.
| |
| Snorts loudly when there is something in his nose.
| |
| Likes to find exceptions to rules.
| |
| Kwihani fervently admires the cunning and fortitude of CPT McKinzie
| |
| Calhoun from the 24th century USS EXCALIBUR.
| |
|
| |
| WEAKNESSES
| |
| Taka has a vengeful streak which he acknowledges is at odds with his
| |
| Christian beliefs.
