Name: Robin Ellery Rank: LTCdr Species: Human/ .25 Vulcan Height: 1.6 meters; 63 in.

She is confident that she can repair anything broken, although at times her sense of fixed doesn't match that of others. i.e. If she can get a craft to fly she might consider it fixed even if landing same craft might prove problematic at a later time. She has a natural talent for flying. She believes she can fly anything. She was known to borrow craft in her youth and take them for a test flight. While stationed on SB Aligheri, she met a very hot headed pilot, Cort O’Wood. However, after he disappeared Robin found her heart was no longer in the squadron and requested a transfer that was granted. From there she learned to deal with some authority over her life and found her self-confidence again. However, repeated incidences of misbehavior kept her from advancing very far in her career. She still prefers to avoid those people in positions of power. She also makes sure that subordinates are comfortable and will go to bat for them if needed. Robin is quite comfortable with any culture, but is most comfortable with the dredges of society. She finds it easier to maneuver through the worst parts of a world or star base, than on a Federation Starship. Robin considers herself a human without a home world despite having been raised for much of her life on Vulcan. This has made her physically stronger than most humans her same size. School Report: -------------- Robin has a history of missed classes, particularly classes teaching logic, and Vulcan history. She appears to have an aptitude for flying. Robin also tends to let her opinion get her into trouble with her instructors. She has a tendency to shrink when faced with higher authority. She would do well to continue her schooling off Vulcan. She allows her emotions to get in the way of logic and will never do well if she remains on Vulcan. She does not acknowledge her Vulcan heritage. She seems to excel in the repair of her father's ship, which is unreliable at best. Headmaster T'pel Vulcan Public Schools

Notes:
Born to two influential civilian experts in forensics and archaeology, Lucas Castillo spent
most of his early life on the "road", exploring the myriad planets throughout the
Federation. Born on Andor, the formative years of his life we immersed in the lore
and traditions of the Andorian Warrior Culture, and his "God Parents" were, in fact,
Andorians. His God Mother was T'Chaala Sin'Charath, a Starfleet Captain at the time
and the woman who sponsored his placement in the Academy.
Although interested in the forensic exploration of planets and people, Lucas was
also interested in self defense and martial arts. A fast learner, every planet he went
to allowed him to study the planets martial history, their culture, psychology and
even their strategy/tactics when confronted by conflict.
When old enough, Lucas submitted his application for Starfleet Academy, feeling his
talents would be useful for the Federation and Starfleet. The sponsorship of now
Admiral Sin'Charath helped him get in, but it was his intelligence and people skills
that allowed him to succeed, as well as his background in his chosen field.
Graduating, he was assigned to the Starfleet Forensic Team and spent his first
few years working with experts in the field of "Interstellar Forensics". When it
came time to go out and serve on a starship, he succeeded. Although his career
as a Starship Officer wasn't the "stuff of legends" he made a reputation for
getting along with everyone, following orders, and becoming invaluable to exploration
missions. Lucas was always included on Away Missions, not just for his skills as a
security officer but for his way of "getting along with" people, be they
new aliens or "old" friends and allies.
Lucas was involved with 7 First Contact Missions and every one of them were successful.
This makes him invaluable to any Command Officer.
Now assigned to command the USS RESOLUTE to return her to ORESTES Station after
undergoing a refit and shakedown cruise, Lucas is looking forward to his new assignment
on ORESTES Station.
Psych Profile:
Lucas Castillo is an interesting character. His personality and background are
interesting to say the least. He seems to get along with anyone with relative ease. He
is just as easy discussing art and science with a Vulcan as he is sharing Blood
Wine with a Klingon! He is a social "butterfly" and this makes it very easy for
him to absorb and observe everyone around him. Charming indeed!
Lucas has been having difficulties with the disappearance of his father and death of
his mother, and I have assigned him to see me over the next few months at least once
a week to discuss this and get over this tragedy.

B. Background Summary:
----------------------
Orphaned at birth and dependent upon the kindness and good will of
the several Federation social services, Chance never felt at home
outside of a structured environment.
He first sought to find meaning for his life in work as a religious.
After four years of the rigors of a novitiate, Chance decide that
though his faith was strong, the life of a missionary monk was not to

VI. Recent Fitness Reports
==========================
Master Chief
Petty Officer Gamble should have retired after the severe burns and
injuries received in the explosion and fire aboard USS Miracle. His
personal perseverance to overcome his injuries and return to active

==================================================================
VII. Psychological Profile
==========================
Chance Gamble is a intuitive quiet male who enjoys working with his
hands more than dealing with people. Extremely close to his family,
he does not seem to have many friends - male or female. This writer
believes the cause to be the non bonding separation caused by his
loss of parents at birth and his being raised by institutional
personnel rather than family. Lt Cdr. Humphrey Wharton, Starfleet

VIII. Current Recreational Interests
==================================

Technically within the Federation, but located in such a galactic backwater that it has few visitors, it is known within that sector as a 'Sin City', and occasionally as a base for pirates. Kelira was the jewel of the Gold Star Club...in which the dancers often offered other services to patrons. The jewel because she was Orion...and the de facto madam, the male owners of the club would do her very bidding. Until, that is, she got pregnant...and died birthing a son. In her absence, the Gold Star went from a place where the dancers were treated as valued employees to one in which they were little more than slaves. Timon, Kelira's son, was also treated as...a slave. The owners hoped that he would grow up into a big, intimidating man who could be used in security, but for right now, he was a child. Property, and educated only a minimum amount, but mostly left to his own devices. Then, when Timon was ten, the Gold Star burned to the ground. Quite a few of the girls were killed. The owner was also killed...and there was some indication it wasn't by the fire. Either way, Timon was left on the streets and on his own. He had long resorted to begging and petty thievery, and to running whatever errands he could persuade somebody to pay him for. He used this to survive. Until the ship came. Melabra was still Federation...albeit forgotten and neglected much of the time. When somebody decided to do something about it, they sent the destroyer, the USS Colin Powell, to check on what was going on. It's commanding officer was Commander Jason St. Lawrence. Melabra had atmospheric anomalies that interfered with transporters. And suddenly, St. Lawrence found himself faced with an odd problem. A stowaway. At first he thought the boy was about fourteen, but he rapidly adjusted Timon's age downward on talking to him. Eleven or twelve, Orion human hybrid, no place to go. Melabra itself would have to wait...and the Federation would force no solutions on it. This boy he could help. Not himself, mind. Jason was thirty-three and married to his ship, like so many Captains, and a destroyer was no place for a ship. But he had an older brother, Charles, who lived on the agricultural colony of New Hope, with his wife. They were childless, and quite willing to take Timon on. So, the street kid from Melabra became a farm kid on New Hope. He was formally adopted some months later...but the adjustment was not easy. Civilizing him was an uphill struggle...complicated by the fact that six months after Timon arrived, Tanya St. Lawrence, against all the odds...got pregnant. In addition to learning a culture, Timon had to learn another new role: Big brother. He was smart, though. Smart enough to rapidly learn that three square meals and a reliable roof that did not leak was worth what they asked of him. And once he had learned to read, the galaxy opened up to him. If he hadn't been smart, he wouldn't have survived. Now he began to apply that to learning about the wider universe. His life was not easy. New Hope was not the most cosmopolitan of planets and he was the only non-human in his class. His skin color attracted negative attention, and his size...he seemed to have picked up the size of an Orion male in full measure...made people assume he would be a 'jock'. In fact, he even was on the high school team as a defensive lineman. Yet, he did not want to be a farmer. Aria, his sister was the one who loved the land, and besides, she was born to it. He was quite happy to say that she should get the farm when the time came, but that left the question of what he should do. He wanted to go to college...but not on New Hope. He wanted to go somewhere where he would meet different people. The St. Lawrence's were well off...but not that well off. It was, of course, his uncle, Jason, who made the suggestion. Why didn't he consider StarFleet? And he considered it. Plenty of chance to meet different people, if he got in, it would be decent money, reliable if he didn't screw up. At the back of his head, too...fleet people made a difference. It took him two attempts to pass the academy entrance exam, but that was not uncommon. The aptitude tests revealed surprisingly good reflexes for such a big man, and he went in on a security MOS...his size, once more, pigeonholing him, but this time he didn't mind. He did reasonably well in the academy. Not close to the top of his class, but above average. His reputation, though, was of a man who was 'More StarFleet than StarFleet', compensating for the reactions some had by trying to be the perfect cadet and the perfect officer. His instructors knew this attitude would survive about one mission in the field, but could do little to persuade him of the fact. He would have to learn it, as others had, the hard way. His cadet cruise did help a little, but then he graduated. He was assigned to the light cruiser Ariadne in the security department, under a tough but fair woman named Charlene Hall. She taught him to stop seeing things in such black and white. And regular reminders that size was not everything, the petite Lieutenant regularly dropping him to the mat in spars. He came to respect her...and to understand that sometimes one had to be a maverick to get things done. When she was transferred...to a station ops position...she recommended him as security chief in her stead. He took the position, and a promotion, and proceeded to do his best to be twice as good as anyone else in the position. Charlene had never held his past against him, but some did. Even the Ariadne's Captain, John Jameson, was unsure about the man, although he never let his feelings affect St. Lawrence's reviews. Timon flourished, in other words, yet he found himself less and less happy. He was still being viewed as a big, not overly bright man. The fact that he resembled nothing so much as a Syndicate thug colored people's opinions of him. He set out to change this. First, by obtaining a Masters degree in military history by correspondence. Second, by taking, and passing the command tests. Which is why when the Ariadne's XO was killed in action... Jameson promoted the operations officer to XO and, despite his prejudices, his chief of security to ops. The taste of command was enough. Timon had a new goal in life. His own ship. Not that he would push. But he would be good enough, he resolved, to earn his command in due time. Hopefully without anyone else having to die for him to get there. Sometimes, though, we don't get what we want. Timon left the Ariadne for the Furious seven years ago. It was a promotion... to executive officer. And the atmosphere was very different. The Furious was commanded by T'Ler. A Vulcan woman. She did not try to run the ship under full Vulcan command protocols. Yet, she was still Vulcan. Utterly logical, a firm believer in IDIC. They made a surprisingly good team. Good enough that Timon was in no rush to leave. Although he had not given up on his own ship. Besides, there was another complication. Her name was Nikita Lennon. She was the Furious' Counselor, and the two fell very deeply in love. Two years ago, they were married. Now any assignment he took...would have to include her. He was the happiest he had ever been in his life. Fate was against him. The Furious was a warship, plain and simple. She went into dangerous places, she got into and out of scrapes. T'Ler got out of scrapes sometimes by force, often by diplomacy and the cool application of logic. Few Vulcans command warships, but she did so and did so well. Until she made a bad, very bad mistake. The Furious also did first contact missions. Especially ones that had a chance of going wrong. The one with the Le'rkat went very wrong indeed. Renegade Klingons had been supplying them with arms and warp drive. They found themselves facing the same tactic, ironically, the Vulcans had used against the Orions many, many years ago...tiny, fast ships that swarmed the Furious. T'Ler had tried everything to stop them from attacking. Yet she had inadvertently also offered insult. The Furious had had its shields down. Timon had not been on the bridge, but on his way there when they had concentrated fire on the upper part of the saucer. The bridge and several other compartments were vented to space. Captain T'Ler was killed instantly. Timon managed to get to the auxiliary bridge. He took command of the half-crippled ship, managed to destroy many of the Le'rkat fighters and get out of the system...and limp to the nearest starbase at warp 1. Nikita St. Lawrence had been on the bridge...three months pregnant with their first child. When Timon found out, he smashed what was left of his quarters... and then spoke to nobody for the rest of the way home. In that quiet solitude, he vented his grief...and recovered his sanity. The Furious was an older ship, and the damage she had taken was extreme. Star Fleet elected to decommission her and replace her rather than repair and refit. Timon was given three months of shore leave...which he spent with his wife's family. On his recall, he was given the Furious' commissioning plaque as her last commander, even if it had only been for a few weeks...and then marching orders to Starbase Beta for reassignment. Skills Profile: Timon started his StarFleet career in security. He is also a qualified pilot, both of small craft and full-sized starships. In addition, he holds an MA in military history, obtained by correspondence from the University of Michigan. He speaks a number of languages to some degree, and is fluent in both Orion and Vulcan. He is a more than competent hand to hand fighter...not merely a brawler, but familiar with martial arts techniques. His diplomatic skills are solid, although he tends towards techniques that rely somewhat on intimidation; he is not above using his size and appearance to his and StarFleet's advantage. As a qualified command officer, he has some familiarity with the basics of other departments. However, he does not have a great amount of scientific knowledge, tending to defer to others in that regard. Fitness Report: It is my judgement that Commander St. Lawrence has made close to a full recovery from the events of the Furious incident; however, I still recommend some continued counseling. He is, however, fit for duty and command. He has always been a solid officer, although he can sometimes interpret StarFleet regulations a little bit too strictly at times. He has, thankfully, a healthy attitude towards his own mental health; he is not above letting out his feelings, but always in a controlled manner...he makes much use of the holodeck in this regard. He expects respect from those under him, but he gives it in return. He is not always a likeable man, but he never treats anyone wrongly or unfairly. He can, however, be a little defensive when he feels he is being viewed either as primarily his race or his size. Psychological Profile: Timon St. Lawrence is one of those big men who knows full well how much control he has to keep over his negative emotions. Although he has a temper, it takes extreme circumstances for it to come out in public; although he enjoys a fight at times, he is careful to restrict this to the holodeck or to people who he knows share such enjoyment. A lot of the time, he comes over at least as gentle but firm. He is strict but fair with underlings, always showing respect to those above him unless they do something not to deserve it. He is an honest man to a fault...that is to say, he can sometimes be blunt. He is also far more inclined to give his opinions of others to their face than gossip about them behind their back. He respects more somebody who defends him or herself, than somebody who takes bad things said about them as read. He is utterly tolerant, and expects utter tolerance. Bigotry of any kind is one of the few things that will get him riled, and he has a record of delivering very scathing lectures to officers who express negative opinions about others based on 'Those things, none of us can help' as he himself would say. This is probably due to the teasing he received in school because of his accent (mostly gone), skin color and size. He can, in fact, be somewhat defensive when comments about those factors are made. Although he is very definitely a military man, he tries to live by the philosophy of 'Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent'. Fighting (With the exception of recreational sparring) is what you do when all else fails. He can, in fact, be very nice, especially to people he genuinely likes or has to work with closely. His diplomacy is a rough and ready sort, but it is there. Recreational Interests Timon is a physical man when it comes to his pursuits. He does enjoy fighting...in the sense of a nice, controlled brawl with somebody who shares the same interest. As a result, some of his closest friends over the years have been Klingons. He is also something of an outdoorsman...he enjoys hiking, orienteering and mountain climbing. Especially with a friend or two...he considers a strenuous hike to be a great way to get to know somebody. Miscellaneous Information This is, yes, the character I and Scott discussed. He's got a bit of a...different background, but tends to *not* be a maverick...he tends, if anything, to over-react and go the other way. His age may be adjusted...seeking opinions.
