He was born in Ithaca to an academic mother and an unknown father. His mother taught history at Ithaca College. Mother died when he was 11 and he got passed around the foster system and different reletives where he suffered a good amount of emotional neglect and some minor physical neglect, which has led to a bit of insecurity about trusting people in general . He graduated high school and aged out of the foster program at 18 and took on work as an EMT. He decided to major in pre-med in undergraduate school at 21, but fell in love with the arts and switched majors. He specializes in classical sculpture, especially marble. Over the winter break of his first year he interrupted a gay bashing crime and this was the first time that he really used his magic instead of suppressing it. This has led to him acting as protector of LGBTQ youth in the West Village and gayborhood around Christopher St. He works with the same group at a shelter as a volunteer. There's not been any really serious relationships, whether romantic, sexual, or platonic, out of fear of people discovering his non-human heritage.<br /> <br /> For a visual he usually wears hazel contacts to hide the reflective silver of his natural eyes, though he has started to stop wearing those. He has recently stopped dying his hair to let his natural lavender/purple hair show through.</div>

The rescue was effected by trading the planetary brain the contents of the '''Endeavor's''' memory banks in exchange for the scientists.<br /> *'''Mission 2''': The crew of the '''Endeavor''' rescued the newly warp-capable inhabitants of Cayrel IV from the grip of Orion captain Melluk and his toadies. Along the way, they also improved diplomatic and trade relationships with the Gorn.<br /> *'''Mission 3''': '''Endeavor''' is caught in a space-warping phenomenon emanating from the Briar Patch. The only way to escape it was to jump the ship forward in time. Unfortunately, the crew jumped a little farther than they may have intended...<br /> *'''Mission 4:''': Finding themselves far in the future, the crew of the '''Endeavor''' learns of the terrible consequences of the curved space bubbles emanating from the Briar Patch.

If banked Momentum would exceed the cap in the absence of some sort of direction from the player, I'll either ask the earning player how they want to spend it or, if either the situation isn't all that important or the optimal spend is obvious, I'll decide on the spend.<br /> *'''Supporting Character Tasks''': Technically, Supporting Characters cannot attempt tasks with a difficulty higher than zero unless they're currently being controlled by a player. For the sake of streamlining the PbP experience, let's waive that rule. For any lengthy effort, a Supporting Character should be controlled by a player, but for one-off tasks, there's no Difficulty restriction.</div>

Several years ago, he was severely wounded in action by a Klingon disruptor while commanding the cruiser ''Reliant.'' In addition to the expected burns, the disruptor blast caused significant damage to Silva's nervous system. It took several years and many medical procedures for him to recover from his wounds, and he still suffers from the nerve damage.<br /> <br /> During his recovery, he taught command classes at the Academy. Having just recently been medically cleared to return to starship duty, he has taken command of the ''Endeavor'' from the departing Captain Sozenn.<br /> <br /> Captain Silva has a reputation in the fleet as a devil-may-care risktaker. While certainly an effective captain, he's been known to accept more danger in completing his missions than other captains might.</div>

Her mother was a Vulcan ambassador assigned to the station. The starbase had a very transient population. While her family stayed, there were many other people passing through. She learned the value of hospitality there, always showing an interest in new people.<br /> <br /> While she did embrace Federation life, she was constrained by her life in one place. As early as she could, she learned how to fly spacecraft and looked to Starfleet as a means to travel and explore the stars.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Conn'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> From her first days at the Academy, T'Has looked toward the flight program. She was the first Vulcan to be named a part of the Nova Squadron, bringing a sense of control rather than the typical human swagger. Fellow cadet and squadron leader Gabriel Mendez followed an old Earth practice of giving each member a &quot;call sign&quot;. He chose the name &quot;Lonestar&quot; for her because of her independent nature and the similarity of her name to the rejoin of Texas. Use of the name outside of her Nova Squadron colleagues is a minor irritant.<br /> <br /> (I know Nova Squadron comes from a TNG episode, but it had to get started some time! Let me know if this interferes with continuity too much.)<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Called Out a Superior'''<br /> <br /> '''Discovered an Artifact'''<br /> <br /> I haven't fleshed this out yet, but I would like the superior I called out be Captain Silva at some point in the last few years. It would have ended with him putting aside his anger and taking T'Has with him to this assignment.<br /> <br /> The artifact that was discovered was an ancient spacecraft. He crew was unable to activate it and get it to move until T'Has figured it out. She used Vulcan mind melds as an analog to figure a way to merge minds with the space ship's AI.

Their antennae aid in balance and spatial awareness; a lost antenna can be debilitating until it regrows. Andorians also have a high metabolism, meaning, amongst other things, that they tire more quickly than Humans; this also makes them more vulnerable to infection from certain types of injury. Before the Federation, Andorians and Vulcans had numerous disputes; though these issues are largely considered to be ancient history, Andorians and Vulcans don’t always get along.<br /> <br /> ==Values:==<br /> *We're all more alike than we want to admit.<br /> *Good bedside manner is as useful as a tricorder.<br /> *You're all still my patients.<br /> *&quot;First do no harm&quot; only applies to patients.<br /> <br /> ==Attributes:==<br /> *Control '''9'''<br /> *Daring '''9'''<br /> *Fitness '''9'''<br /> *Insight '''10'''<br /> *Presence '''10'''<br /> *Reason '''9'''<br /> <br /> ==Disciplines:==<br /> *Command '''4'''<br /> *Conn '''1'''<br /> *Security '''3'''<br /> *Engin '''1'''<br /> *Science '''3'''<br /> *Medicine '''4'''<br /> <br /> ==Focuses:==<br /> *Hand to Hand Combat<br /> *Xenobiology<br /> *Psychology<br /> *Psychiatry<br /> *Diplomacy<br /> *Persuasion<br /> <br /> ==Talents:==<br /> *'''The Ushaan:''' You are experienced in the tradition of honor-dueling known as the Ushaan, having spilt much blood upon the ice. When you make a melee Attack, or are targeted by a melee Attack, and buy one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you may re-roll the dice pool for the Task. Further, you own an Ushaan-tor, a razor-sharp ice-miner’s tool used in these duels.<br /> *'''Field Medicine:''' When attempting a Medicine Task, you may ignore any increase in Difficulty for working without the proper tools or equipment.<br /> *'''Cold Reading:''' Succeeding at a Task during Social Conflict generates one bonus Momentum which must be used for the Obtain Information Momentum Spend to gain knowledge about an individual on the other side of the interaction. If the Social Conflict involves an Extended Task, the character gains the Scrutinize 1 benefit (see page 91 of the Star Trek Adventures core rulebook) when rolling Challenge Dice.<br /> *'''Cautious (Command):''' Whenever you attempt a Task with Comman, and you buy one or more d20s by adding to Momentum, you may re-roll a single d20.<br /> <br /> ==Equipment==<br /> *Type 2 Phaser (6d, 1H, Charge)<br /> *Unarmed (4d, 1h, Knockdown)<br /> *Ushaan-tor (5d, 1H, Vicious 1)<br /> *Medical Tricorder<br /> *Medkit (Tri-laser Connector, Protoplaser, Laser Scalpel, Hypospray)<br /> <br /> =Lifepath=<br /> ==Home &amp; Upbringing==<br /> Azolla grew up on Vulcan, surrounded by what a century earlier would have been bitter enemies. Her shreya and charan (shen and chan parents) were in the Andorian diplomatic corps and stationed there, her thavan (thaan parent) was in Starfleet, and her zhavey (zhen parent) was a long-suffering (espcially with Azolla as a kid) homemaker. Though she was an intelligent child, taking an early interest in biology, her parents' attempt to put her in the Vulcan school system did not go terribly well. She wore her hot Andorian blood on her sleeve and took far too much delight in getting under her classmates' masks of logic. By her early teenage years she was in the Federation embassy school instead, still rebelling against the sedate pace of her life but channeling it into practice with the ushaan-tor alongside her studies... and later channeling it into 'comparative anatomy studies' with a variety of her classmates, to her parents' great consternation. <br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> Despite all her 'extracurricular activities', she still fought her way to the top of her graduating class and applied to Starfleet Academy on the six-year Medical track. She was much 'calmer' at the Academy, with its much more cosmopolitan mix of sapients, less po-faced posturing than the diplomatic community, and 99% fewer Vulcans pretending not to have emotions*. By the time she did her midshipman residency at Starbase 24, she had a reputation for excellent bedside manner, usually able to diagnose a non-emergency patient just by listening carefully to them describing their symptoms and then confirming with the scanners rather than going on a full diagnostic hunt.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> Azolla graduated Starfleet Academy in 2255 and was posted as a junior medical officer to ''USS Farragut''. For about a year, everything was relatively pleasant in the prestigious posting. And then there was the war. Among the few Starfleet vessels with enough firepower and endurance to stand up to Klingon hunting parties directly, ''Farragut'' and her Constitution-class sisters saw extensive action on and behind the front lines of the conflict. The worst of the war came on the ground, however, as Klingon raiding parties would routinely wait for relief teams to show up before springing their traps. Azolla started taking her Ushaan-tor with her on relief missions, and surprised many a Klingon warrior who thought they were about to strike down a defenseless medic. The elation of the war finally ending - as mysterious as its end was - was cut short by the death of Captain Garrick at the hands of a previously unknown entity just weeks after. That was as good as any as an excuse to recall the ''Farragut'' for post-war refit and crew rotation, and Azolla left the ship to be assistant CMO aboard ''USS Eagle'', where she served on two five-year missions and two more years of internal patrol, settling into normalcy punctuated only with a few major incidents.<br /> <br /> Chief among those incidents was an outbreak of what would later be known as the Chamberlin Virus swept through several colonies near the Romulan neutral zone. It eventually turned out to have been spread by rats on a freighter, ''SS Chamberlin'', that picked up the illness on Galorndon Core while it made an illicit stop for Romulan Ale. Starfleet medicine was at first unable to provide more than palliative care, and several of her fellow doctors fell to the illness as well. Once the source was traced, Azolla accompanied an away team in a tense secret mission aboard that freighter to recover a cure from the Romulans. It culminated with a covert meeting with the chair of infectious diseases at the Romulan naval hospital on the planet, who offered the cure on humanitarian grounds on the condition that his government never find out. To confirm the cure could be adapted to other species, Azolla tested it on herself.<br /> <br /> Azolla had actually applied and been selected for the recently-vacated CMO position on ''USS Enterprise'', having heard through the grapevine that Dr. McCoy was retiring to private practice and she'd need a new doctor for her next five years; Azolla still remembered dedicated phaser controller Jim Kirk from his way too many trips to sickbay during the war. But that didn't pan out, as Starfleet selected ''Enterprise'' to be the lead spaceframe for the next Constitution-class refit. She was able to snatch the ''Endeavor'''s CMO slot instead in the hasty reshuffle.<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Azolla_sh%27Aialik_Final.png]]<br /> <br /> Azolla is an Andorian ''shen'' on the edge of middle age. She stands tall and confident, with an athletic build, but her round face is warm and inviting.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Normally, Azolla has an beneficent air about her, inviting people to confide in her and tell them her problems. She can be a bit overbearing with her medical and life advice, and is often ''very'' eager to 'study' new life forms. But threaten her crew or patients at your own peril.</div>

Formed in the earliest days of the Federation by a group of Gaelic 'separatists', the separate nature quickly faded, and they folded easily into the nascent Federation. A colony of universities, museums and galleries, they've never forgotten their base, and historical recreation remains a major hobby. Joining Starfleet is just as much a tradition, and few are the professors or artists who haven't done at least some time in uniform.<br /> <br /> Elisabet embraces all aspects of her home, with a focus in her early studies on languages and the pressures that caused them to evolve the way they did. Nothing in Starfleet Academy changed that - in fact, her interests were honed, and she spends much of her time poring over linguistic files, learning as much as she can about the cultures that created those languages.</div>

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension. He and his immediate family have reached a truce on the subject of his life, and they talk regularly and try to manage so kind of visit at least once a year. His proposed bondmates were able to find another appropriate thaan and have had multiple children since, so they, at least, are glad he left rather than stay and make everyone in their family unit miserable.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Security'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> At Starfleet Tiv set out to learn everything he could about the galaxy, to try as many new things as possible, and to otherwise break out of his isolated upbringing. He considered majoring in engineering or even turning his interest in other cultures into his Starfleet focus, but quickly found that he genuinely enjoyed his security training now that he had the ability to choose his own path. Fit and athletic, Tiv also found a place on the Academy parrises squares team. His brusque demeanor and tendency to cover lack of knowledge of the galaxy beyond Weytahn with his well honed mask of cold indifference were fortunately sufficiently countered by his innate charisma and status an Academy sports star that he was able to socialize and even develop friendships with relative ease. Even as his years at the Academy progressed and he became genuinely comfortable there, he maintained a rigidly defined &quot;working persona&quot; that he only set aside when with close friends or in private.<br /> <br /> Having definitively decided against bonding and parenthood, Tiv also set up to experience all of the &quot;personal&quot; options made possible by the tremendous blending of species and cultures at the Academy. Uncomfortable with the casual flirtations and physical affection that many of the cadets engaged in, and absolutely unwilling to consider any romantic attachments, Tiv nevertheless found it easy enough to arrange casual encounters and even long term non-monogamous and overlapping arrangements with friends. Those who did not know him well would have been shocked to find out the intensely focused, militant, and even unfriendly Andorian classmate was warm, affectionate, and even bawdy with close friends and lovers.<br /> <br /> During his last year at Starfleet Tiv developed a friendship with an older human woman who regularly used the library at the same odd hours as he did. As time went on Susan Pickering took on a semi-maternal role in his life, easing the homesickness that constantly ate at Tiv, even as he reveled in being away from the confining society of his clan.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Mentored'''<br /> <br /> '''Solved Engineering Crisis'''<br /> <br /> Susan had asked Tiv to stop by her office - his first time there - after his last exam was completed. He was unpleasantly shocked and very nervous when he followed her directions and encountered the name &quot;Admiral Susan Pickering&quot; on the door. After gently teasing him at his clear distress at learning his friend from the library was an admiral, she explained that she had selected him for an important mission based on her careful evaluation of his file. A Klingon House head, one Ashuk Klith, had carefully and indirectly reached out to the Admiralty for a private meeting regarding a potential alliance. The meeting was to take place above Nimbus III in the Neutral Zone, and she would be attending as the designated diplomat for this entirely off the record event. Tiv, assuming he accepted the position, would serve as her pilot and bodyguard. He quickly agreed.<br /> <br /> The meeting itself was a waste of time. Klith just wanted to use Starfleet resources to fund a takeover of a rival House, and cared not at all about the likelihood of outright war resulting from such an action. Admiral Pickering made it abundantly clear that no such arrangement would eve happen. Both parties left disgusted with the result. Hours later, still deep in the Neutral Zone, Susan and Tiv's tiny vessel was struck by a single round of disruptor fire from no identifiable source. Whether this was an attack by Klith in revenge for being refused, by one of his rivals afraid an agreement had been reached, or a stray blast from some entirely unrelated conflict was never determined and was ultimately irrelevant. No matter the source, the fire knocked out the ship's life support and power systems, leaving them in a floating box that would soon become their coffin.<br /> <br /> Drawing on his experience jury rigging failing equipment in the mine back home, Tiv worked by touch in the rapidly cooling dark to rewire around the many damaged systems to restore engine power and minimal life support before he and Pickering died from cold and lock of oxygen. It was a near thing - and a long, slow flight without artificial gravity back to their rendezvous point - but his efforts were successful. Afterwards Admiral Pickering was even more invested in his career, ensuring he was placed in best positions to demonstrate his value to Starfleet, leading to a rapid rise through the ranks (and an inadvertent reputation for promotion via political connections). <br /> <br /> Newly promoted to Commander, Tiv has just received orders that he is to report to the USS Endeavor, where he will serve as Head of Security for the ship and, for the first time, as acting second in command of the vessel.<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Tiv_th%27Qysren.png]]<br /> <br /> Tiv is lean and muscular, though relatively short for an Andorian (approximately 1.8 meters tall), with with medium blue skin, grey eyes, and upright, highly expressive antennae. <br /> <br /> In addition to the deep facial scar from where he nearly lost an eye in a training accident as a teenager, Tiv has dozens of scars on his hands, arms, and upper body from healed ''ushaan'' cuts of various depths, as well as several minor burn scars from phaser injuries.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Tiv is brusque for an Andorian, though surprisingly charismatic nonetheless. When the situation is calm and everyone he is responsible safe, he is relaxed and even friendly. When stressed he gets progressively more snappish and impatient with those who wander off thoughtlessly into danger. He is not overtly aggressive or threatening in any way, firmly believing that violence - outside of training - should be a last resort only, and then brutally and decisively applied, but he is afraid of no one and always ready to fight. Of all of his values, the one that defines him most strongly is &quot;I will get you home safe.&quot; If he has to make enemies to keep the crew alive and unharmed, then that is disappointing and unfortunate, but entirely acceptable.<br /> <br /> However, with those he considers friends and outside the view of anyone else, Tiv's demeanor is entirely different. He is still not talkative, but he is warm, teasing, and frequently flirtatious. His approach to managing his private life is best summarized as &quot;cheerfully slutty but incredibly discreet.&quot; He is prepared to try just about anything with nearly anyone, provided romance and exclusivity are entirely off the table. However, he is very careful not to get involved - no matter how casually - with anyone within his chain of command.</div>

After gently teasing him at his clear distress at learning his friend from the library was an admiral, she explained that she had selected him for an important mission based on her careful evaluation of his file. A Klingon House head, one Ashuk Klith, had carefully and indirectly reached out to the Admiralty for a private meeting regarding a potential alliance. The meeting was to take place above Nimbus III in the Neutral Zone, and she would be attending as the designated diplomat for this entirely off the record event. Tiv, assuming he accepted the position, would serve as her pilot and bodyguard. He quickly agreed.<br /> <br /> The meeting itself was a waste of time. Klith just wanted to use Starfleet resources to fund a takeover of a rival House, and cared not at all about the likelihood of outright war resulting from such an action. Admiral Pickering made it abundantly clear that no such arrangement would eve happen. Both parties left disgusted with the result. Hours later, still deep in the Neutral Zone, Susan and Tiv's tiny vessel was struck by a single round of disruptor fire from no identifiable source. Whether this was an attack by Klith in revenge for being refused, by one of his rivals afraid an agreement had been reached, or a stray blast from some entirely unrelated conflict was never determined and was ultimately irrelevant.

It was a near thing - and a long, slow flight without artificial gravity back to their rendezvous point - but his efforts were successful.

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension.

For the sake of streamlining the PbP experience, let's waive that rule. For any lengthy effort, a Supporting Character should be controlled by a player, but for one-off tasks, there's no Difficulty restriction.</div>

Though she was an intelligent child, taking an early interest in biology, her parents' attempt to put her in the Vulcan school system did not go terribly well. She wore her hot Andorian blood on her sleeve and took far too much delight in getting under her classmates' masks of logic. By her early teenage years she was in the Federation embassy school instead, still rebelling against the sedate pace of her life but channeling it into practice with the ushaan-tor alongside her studies... and later channeling it into 'comparative anatomy studies' with a variety of her classmates, to her parents' great consternation. <br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> Despite all her 'extracurricular activities', she still fought her way to the top of her graduating class and applied to Starfleet Academy on the six-year Medical track. She was much 'calmer' at the Academy, with its much more cosmopolitan mix of sapients, less po-faced posturing than the diplomatic community, and 99% fewer Vulcans pretending not to have emotions*. By the time she did her midshipman residency at Starbase 24, she had a reputation for excellent bedside manner, usually able to diagnose a non-emergency patient just by listening carefully to them describing their symptoms and then confirming with the scanners rather than going on a full diagnostic hunt.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> Azolla graduated Starfleet Academy in 2255 and was posted as a junior medical officer to ''USS Farragut''. For about a year, everything was relatively pleasant in the prestigious posting. And then there was the war. Among the few Starfleet vessels with enough firepower and endurance to stand up to Klingon hunting parties directly, ''Farragut'' and her Constitution-class sisters saw extensive action on and behind the front lines of the conflict. The worst of the war came on the ground, however, as Klingon raiding parties would routinely wait for relief teams to show up before springing their traps. Azolla started taking her Ushaan-tor with her on relief missions, and surprised many a Klingon warrior who thought they were about to strike down a defenseless medic. The elation of the war finally ending - as mysterious as its end was - was cut short by the death of Captain Garrick at the hands of a previously unknown entity just weeks after. That was as good as any as an excuse to recall the ''Farragut'' for post-war refit and crew rotation, and Azolla left the ship to be assistant CMO aboard ''USS Eagle'', where she served on two five-year missions and two more years of internal patrol, settling into normalcy punctuated only with a few major incidents.<br /> <br /> Chief among those incidents was an outbreak of what would later be known as the Chamberlin Virus swept through several colonies near the Romulan neutral zone. It eventually turned out to have been spread by rats on a freighter, ''SS Chamberlin'', that picked up the illness on Galorndon Core while it made an illicit stop for Romulan Ale. Starfleet medicine was at first unable to provide more than palliative care, and several of her fellow doctors fell to the illness as well. Once the source was traced, Azolla accompanied an away team in a tense secret mission aboard that freighter to recover a cure from the Romulans. It culminated with a covert meeting with the chair of infectious diseases at the Romulan naval hospital on the planet, who offered the cure on humanitarian grounds on the condition that his government never find out. To confirm the cure could be adapted to other species, Azolla tested it on herself.<br /> <br /> Azolla had actually applied and been selected for the recently-vacated CMO position on ''USS Enterprise'', having heard through the grapevine that Dr. McCoy was retiring to private practice and she'd need a new doctor for her next five years; Azolla still remembered dedicated phaser controller Jim Kirk from his way too many trips to sickbay during the war. But that didn't pan out, as Starfleet selected ''Enterprise'' to be the lead spaceframe for the next Constitution-class refit.

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension. He and his immediate family have reached a truce on the subject of his life, and they talk regularly and try to manage so kind of visit at least once a year. His proposed bondmates were able to find another appropriate thaan and have had multiple children since, so they, at least, are glad he left rather than stay and make everyone in their family unit miserable.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Security'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> At Starfleet Tiv set out to learn everything he could about the galaxy, to try as many new things as possible, and to otherwise break out of his isolated upbringing. He considered majoring in engineering or even turning his interest in other cultures into his Starfleet focus, but quickly found that he genuinely enjoyed his security training now that he had the ability to choose his own path. Fit and athletic, Tiv also found a place on the Academy parrises squares team. His brusque demeanor and tendency to cover lack of knowledge of the galaxy beyond Weytahn with his well honed mask of cold indifference were fortunately sufficiently countered by his innate charisma and status an Academy sports star that he was able to socialize and even develop friendships with relative ease. Even as his years at the Academy progressed and he became genuinely comfortable there, he maintained a rigidly defined &quot;working persona&quot; that he only set aside when with close friends or in private.<br /> <br /> Having definitively decided against bonding and parenthood, Tiv also set up to experience all of the &quot;personal&quot; options made possible by the tremendous blending of species and cultures at the Academy. Uncomfortable with the casual flirtations and physical affection that many of the cadets engaged in, and absolutely unwilling to consider any romantic attachments, Tiv nevertheless found it easy enough to arrange casual encounters and even long term non-monogamous and overlapping arrangements with friends. Those who did not know him well would have been shocked to find out the intensely focused, militant, and even unfriendly Andorian classmate was warm, affectionate, and even bawdy with close friends and lovers.<br /> <br /> During his last year at Starfleet Tiv developed a friendship with an older human woman who regularly used the library at the same odd hours as he did. As time went on Susan Pickering took on a semi-maternal role in his life, easing the homesickness that constantly ate at Tiv, even as he reveled in being away from the confining society of his clan.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Mentored'''<br /> <br /> '''Solved Engineering Crisis'''<br /> <br /> Susan had asked Tiv to stop by her office - his first time there - after his last exam was completed. He was unpleasantly shocked and very nervous when he followed her directions and encountered the name &quot;Admiral Susan Pickering&quot; on the door. After gently teasing him at his clear distress at learning his friend from the library was an admiral, she explained that she had selected him for an important mission based on her careful evaluation of his file. A Klingon House head, one Ashuk Klith, had carefully and indirectly reached out to the Admiralty for a private meeting regarding a potential alliance. The meeting was to take place above Nimbus III in the Neutral Zone, and she would be attending as the designated diplomat for this entirely off the record event. Tiv, assuming he accepted the position, would serve as her pilot and bodyguard. He quickly agreed.<br /> <br /> The meeting itself was a waste of time. Klith just wanted to use Starfleet resources to fund a takeover of a rival House, and cared not at all about the likelihood of outright war resulting from such an action. Admiral Pickering made it abundantly clear that no such arrangement would eve happen. Both parties left disgusted with the result. Hours later, still deep in the Neutral Zone, Susan and Tiv's tiny vessel was struck by a single round of disruptor fire from no identifiable source. Whether this was an attack by Klith in revenge for being refused, by one of his rivals afraid an agreement had been reached, or a stray blast from some entirely unrelated conflict was never determined and was ultimately irrelevant. No matter the source, the fire knocked out the ship's life support and power systems, leaving them in a floating box that would soon become their coffin.<br /> <br /> Drawing on his experience jury rigging failing equipment in the mine back home, Tiv worked by touch in the rapidly cooling dark to rewire around the many damaged systems to restore engine power and minimal life support before he and Pickering died from cold and lock of oxygen. It was a near thing - and a long, slow flight without artificial gravity back to their rendezvous point - but his efforts were successful. Afterwards Admiral Pickering was even more invested in his career, ensuring he was placed in best positions to demonstrate his value to Starfleet, leading to a rapid rise through the ranks (and an inadvertent reputation for promotion via political connections). <br /> <br /> Newly promoted to Commander, Tiv has just received orders that he is to report to the USS Endeavor, where he will serve as Head of Security for the ship and, for the first time, as acting second in command of the vessel.<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Tiv_th%27Qysren.png]]<br /> <br /> Tiv is lean and muscular, though relatively short for an Andorian (approximately 1.8 meters tall), with with medium blue skin, grey eyes, and upright, highly expressive antennae. <br /> <br /> In addition to the deep facial scar from where he nearly lost an eye in a training accident as a teenager, Tiv has dozens of scars on his hands, arms, and upper body from healed ''ushaan'' cuts of various depths, as well as several minor burn scars from phaser injuries.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Tiv is brusque for an Andorian, though surprisingly charismatic nonetheless. When the situation is calm and everyone he is responsible safe, he is relaxed and even friendly. When stressed he gets progressively more snappish and impatient with those who wander off thoughtlessly into danger. He is not overtly aggressive or threatening in any way, firmly believing that violence - outside of training - should be a last resort only, and then brutally and decisively applied, but he is afraid of no one and always ready to fight. Of all of his values, the one that defines him most strongly is &quot;I will get you home safe.&quot; If he has to make enemies to keep the crew alive and unharmed, then that is disappointing and unfortunate, but entirely acceptable.<br /> <br /> However, with those he considers friends and outside the view of anyone else, Tiv's demeanor is entirely different. He is still not talkative, but he is warm, teasing, and frequently flirtatious. His approach to managing his private life is best summarized as &quot;cheerfully slutty but incredibly discreet.&quot; He is prepared to try just about anything with nearly anyone, provided romance and exclusivity are entirely off the table. However, he is very careful not to get involved - no matter how casually - with anyone within his chain of command.</div>

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension. He and his immediate family have reached a truce on the subject of his life, and they talk regularly and try to manage so kind of visit at least once a year. His proposed bondmates were able to find another appropriate thaan and have had multiple children since, so they, at least, are glad he left rather than stay and make everyone in their family unit miserable.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Security'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> At Starfleet Tiv set out to learn everything he could about the galaxy, to try as many new things as possible, and to otherwise break out of his isolated upbringing. He considered majoring in engineering or even turning his interest in other cultures into his Starfleet focus, but quickly found that he genuinely enjoyed his security training now that he had the ability to choose his own path. Fit and athletic, Tiv also found a place on the Academy parrises squares team. His brusque demeanor and tendency to cover lack of knowledge of the galaxy beyond Weytahn with his well honed mask of cold indifference were fortunately sufficiently countered by his innate charisma and status an Academy sports star that he was able to socialize and even develop friendships with relative ease. Even as his years at the Academy progressed and he became genuinely comfortable there, he maintained a rigidly defined &quot;working persona&quot; that he only set aside when with close friends or in private.<br /> <br /> Having definitively decided against bonding and parenthood, Tiv also set up to experience all of the &quot;personal&quot; options made possible by the tremendous blending of species and cultures at the Academy. Uncomfortable with the casual flirtations and physical affection that many of the cadets engaged in, and absolutely unwilling to consider any romantic attachments, Tiv nevertheless found it easy enough to arrange casual encounters and even long term non-monogamous and overlapping arrangements with friends. Those who did not know him well would have been shocked to find out the intensely focused, militant, and even unfriendly Andorian classmate was warm, affectionate, and even bawdy with close friends and lovers.<br /> <br /> During his last year at Starfleet Tiv developed a friendship with an older human woman who regularly used the library at the same odd hours as he did. As time went on Susan Pickering took on a semi-maternal role in his life, easing the homesickness that constantly ate at Tiv, even as he reveled in being away from the confining society of his clan.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Mentored'''<br /> <br /> '''Solved Engineering Crisis'''<br /> <br /> Susan had asked Tiv to stop by her office - his first time there - after his last exam was completed. He was unpleasantly shocked and very nervous when he followed her directions and encountered the name &quot;Admiral Susan Pickering&quot; on the door. After gently teasing him at his clear distress at learning his friend from the library was an admiral, she explained that she had selected him for an important mission based on her careful evaluation of his file. A Klingon House head, one Ashuk Klith, had carefully and indirectly reached out to the Admiralty for a private meeting regarding a potential alliance. The meeting was to take place above Nimbus III in the Neutral Zone, and she would be attending as the designated diplomat for this entirely off the record event. Tiv, assuming he accepted the position, would serve as her pilot and bodyguard. He quickly agreed.<br /> <br /> The meeting itself was a waste of time. Klith just wanted to use Starfleet resources to fund a takeover of a rival House, and cared not at all about the likelihood of outright war resulting from such an action. Admiral Pickering made it abundantly clear that no such arrangement would eve happen. Both parties left disgusted with the result. Hours later, still deep in the Neutral Zone, Susan and Tiv's tiny vessel was struck by a single round of disruptor fire from no identifiable source. Whether this was an attack by Klith in revenge for being refused, by one of his rivals afraid an agreement had been reached, or a stray blast from some entirely unrelated conflict was never determined and was ultimately irrelevant. No matter the source, the fire knocked out the ship's life support and power systems, leaving them in a floating box that would soon become their coffin.<br /> <br /> Drawing on his experience jury rigging failing equipment in the mine back home, Tiv worked by touch in the rapidly cooling dark to rewire around the many damaged systems to restore engine power and minimal life support before he and Pickering died from cold and lock of oxygen. It was a near thing - and a long, slow flight without artificial gravity back to their rendezvous point - but his efforts were successful. Afterwards Admiral Pickering was even more invested in his career, ensuring he was placed in best positions to demonstrate his value to Starfleet, leading to a rapid rise through the ranks (and an inadvertent reputation for promotion via political connections). <br /> <br /> Newly raised to the rank Lieutenant commander, Tiv has just received orders that he is to report to the USS Endeavor, where he will serve, for the first time, as Head of Security for the ship.<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Tiv_th%27Qysren.png]]<br /> <br /> Tiv is lean and muscular, though relatively short for an Andorian (approximately 1.8 meters tall), with with medium blue skin, grey eyes, and upright, highly expressive antennae. <br /> <br /> In addition to the deep facial scar from where he nearly lost an eye in a training accident as a teenager, Tiv has dozens of scars on his hands, arms, and upper body from healed ''ushaan'' cuts of various depths, as well as several minor burn scars from phaser injuries.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Tiv is brusque for an Andorian, though surprisingly charismatic nonetheless. When the situation is calm and everyone he is responsible safe, he is relaxed and even friendly. When stressed he gets progressively more snappish and impatient with those who wander off thoughtlessly into danger. He is not overtly aggressive or threatening in any way, firmly believing that violence - outside of training - should be a last resort only, and then brutally and decisively applied, but he is afraid of no one and always ready to fight. Of all of his values, the one that defines him most strongly is &quot;I will get you home safe.&quot; If he has to make enemies to keep the crew alive and unharmed, then that is disappointing and unfortunate, but entirely acceptable.<br /> <br /> However, with those he considers friends and outside the view of anyone else, Tiv's demeanor is entirely different. He is still not talkative, but he is warm, teasing, and frequently flirtatious. His approach to managing his private life is best summarized as &quot;cheerfully slutty but incredibly discreet.&quot; He is prepared to try just about anything with nearly anyone, provided romance and exclusivity are entirely off the table. However, he is very careful not to get involved - no matter how casually - with anyone within his chain of command.</div>

It turned out he just wanted to use the Federation's power to defeat a rival house and didn't care at all about the wider implications of that kind of action. Afterwards they were hit by a stray round (from no identifiable source, so him, rival, or chance are all possibilities) and Tiv managed to save them both by rewiring life support and engine power around damaged systems before they both died of cold and lack of oxygen. Then her influence was how he came to be just promoted to Lieutenant Commander and made Head of Security at only 28, though she used it by putting him in the right place to shine rather than having him promoted without merit. He is aware of the fact it could be taken as a political appointment, so is particularly determined to prove himself.

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension. He and his immediate family have reached a truce on the subject of his life, and they talk regularly and try to manage so kind of visit at least once a year. His proposed bondmates were able to find another appropriate thaan and have had multiple children since, so they, at least, are glad he left rather than stay and make everyone in their family unit miserable.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Security'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> At Starfleet Tiv set out to learn everything he could about the galaxy, to try as many new things as possible, and to otherwise break out of his isolated upbringing. He considered majoring in engineering or even turning his interest in other cultures into his Starfleet focus, but quickly found that he genuinely enjoyed his security training now that he had the ability to choose his own path. Fit and athletic, Tiv also found a place on the Academy parrises squares team. His brusque demeanor and tendency to cover lack of knowledge of the galaxy beyond Weytahn with his well honed mask of cold indifference were fortunately sufficiently countered by his innate charisma and status an Academy sports star that he was able to socialize and even develop friendships with relative ease. Even as his years at the Academy progressed and he became genuinely comfortable there, he maintained a rigidly defined &quot;working persona&quot; that he only set aside when with close friends or in private.<br /> <br /> Having definitively decided against bonding and parenthood, Tiv also set up to experience all of the &quot;personal&quot; options made possible by the tremendous blending of species and cultures at the Academy. Uncomfortable with the casual flirtations and physical affection that many of the cadets engaged in, and absolutely unwilling to consider any romantic attachments, Tiv nevertheless found it easy enough to arrange casual encounters and even long term non-monogamous and overlapping arrangements with friends. Those who did not know him well would have been shocked to find out the intensely focused, militant, and even unfriendly Andorian classmate was warm, affectionate, and even bawdy with close friends and lovers.<br /> <br /> During his last year at Starfleet Tiv developed a friendship with an older human woman who regularly used the library at the same odd hours as he did. As time went on Susan took on a semi-maternal role in his life, easing the homesickness that constantly ate at Tiv, even as he reveled in being away from the confining society of his clan.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Mentored'''<br /> <br /> '''Solved Engineering Crisis'''<br /> <br /> Tiv met Susan<br /> <br /> in which Tiv served as pilot/bodyguard for a Starfleet admiral/diplomat (human named Susan Pickering, but that could easily be changed for story hooks) on an officially unofficial trip to meet a Klingon Head of House above Nimbus III (2265, so two years before it becomes a symbol of friendship much less before it fails) who sent an offer to work with the Federation. It turned out he just wanted to use the Federation's power to defeat a rival house and didn't care at all about the wider implications of that kind of action. Afterwards they were hit by a stray round (from no identifiable source, so him, rival, or chance are all possibilities) and Tiv managed to save them both by rewiring life support and engine power around damaged systems before they both died of cold and lack of oxygen. Then her influence was how he came to be just promoted to Lieutenant Commander and made Head of Security at only 28, though she used it by putting him in the right place to shine rather than having him promoted without merit. He is aware of the fact it could be taken as a political appointment, so is particularly determined to prove himself. Please let me know if any/all of this is not going to work so I can come up with something else before I go to the effort of writing up a full background a second time. Thanks!<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Tiv_th%27Qysren.png]]<br /> <br /> Tiv is lean and muscular, though relatively short for an Andorian (approximately 1.8 meters tall), with with medium blue skin, grey eyes, and upright, highly expressive antennae. <br /> <br /> In addition to the deep facial scar from where he nearly lost an eye in a training accident as a teenager, Tiv has dozens of scars on his hands, arms, and upper body from healed ''ushaan'' cuts of various depths, as well as several minor burn scars from phaser injuries.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Tiv is brusque for an Andorian, though surprisingly charismatic nonetheless. When the situation is calm and everyone he is responsible safe, he is relaxed and even friendly. When stressed he gets progressively more snappish and impatient with those who wander off thoughtlessly into danger. He is not overtly aggressive or threatening in any way, firmly believing that violence - outside of training - should be a last resort only, and then brutally and decisively applied, but he is afraid of no one and always ready to fight. Of all of his values, the one that defines him most strongly is &quot;I will get you home safe.&quot; If he has to make enemies to keep the crew alive and unharmed, then that is disappointing and unfortunate, but entirely acceptable.<br /> <br /> However, with those he considers friends and outside the view of anyone else, Tiv's demeanor is entirely different.

There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet. What started as simple rebellion developed into sincere interest, and he spent many long hours trying to puzzle out the truth from his clan's biased histories. Despite his interest in the outside world and his growing aversion to the ideological zealotry that shaped the lives of his family and clan, the benefits of the genuinely close and loving connections and the deep history of his connection to home kept him there even once he reached 18. <br /> <br /> However, shortly after his birthday and his attainment of adulthood, his parents revealed they had arranged a bond group for him, so that he and proposed partners could begin having children as soon as possible. He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension. He and his immediate family have reached a truce on the subject of his life, and they talk regularly and try to manage so kind of visit at least once a year. His proposed bondmates were able to find another appropriate thaan and have had multiple children since, so they, at least, are glad he left rather than stay and make everyone in their family unit miserable.<br /> <br /> ==Starfleet Academy==<br /> '''Majored in Security'''<br /> <br /> '''Minored in Engineering'''<br /> <br /> <br /> At Starfleet Tiv set out to learn everything he could about the galaxy, to try as many new things as possible, and to otherwise break out of his isolated upbringing. He considered majoring in engineering or even turning his interest in other cultures into his Starfleet focus, but quickly found that he genuinely enjoyed his security training now that he had the ability to choose his own path. Fit and athletic, Tiv also found a place on the Academy parrises squares team. His brusque demeanor and tendency to cover lack of knowledge of the galaxy beyond Weytahn with his well honed mask of cold indifference were fortunately sufficiently countered by his innate charisma and status an Academy sports star that he was able to socialize and even develop friendships with relative ease. Even as his years at the Academy progressed and he became genuinely comfortable there, he maintained a rigidly defined &quot;working persona&quot; that he only set aside when with close friends or in private.<br /> <br /> Having definitively decided against bonding and parenthood, Tiv also set up to experience all of the &quot;personal&quot; options made possible by the tremendous blending of species and cultures at the Academy. Uncomfortable with the casual flirtations and physical affection that many of the cadets engaged in, and absolutely unwilling to consider any romantic attachments, Tiv nevertheless found it easy enough to arrange casual encounters and even long term non-monogamous and overlapping arrangements with friends. Those who did not know him well would have been shocked to find out the intensely focused, militant, and even unfriendly Andorian classmate was warm, affectionate, and even bawdy with close friends and lovers.<br /> <br /> During his last year at Starfleet Tiv developed a friendship with an older human woman who regularly used the library at the same odd hours as he did. As time went on Susan took on a semi-maternal role in his life, easing the homesickness that constantly ate at Tiv, even as he reveled in being away from the confining society of his clan.<br /> <br /> ==Career Events==<br /> '''Mentored'''<br /> <br /> '''Solved Engineering Crisis'''<br /> <br /> =Description=<br /> ==Appearance:==<br /> [[File:Tiv_th%27Qysren.png]]<br /> <br /> Tiv is lean and muscular, though relatively short for an Andorian (approximately 1.8 meters tall), with with medium blue skin, grey eyes, and upright, highly expressive antennae. <br /> <br /> In addition to the deep facial scar from where he nearly lost an eye in a training accident as a teenager, Tiv has dozens of scars on his hands, arms, and upper body from healed ''ushaan'' cuts of various depths, as well as several minor burn scars from phaser injuries.<br /> <br /> ==Personality:==<br /> Tiv is brusque for an Andorian, though surprisingly charismatic nonetheless.

After terraforming was completed in the late 2050s, his clan were among the first settlers. They fought against the Vulcans during the first war, survived life in the refugee camps, followed Commander Shran when he retook the planet in 2152, and fought in the second war. Clan leaders even were present at the negotiations with Captain Archer, though not actively part of the discussions. Later the clan opposed the creation of the Federation, considering it a trick by their traditional enemies. Even now, the clan is prepared for a third war, having no faith in a lasting peace with Vulcans.<br /> <br /> The clan is centered in a small town around a mine, now nearly tapped out, with additional members living in agricultural settlements in the surrounding area. There are almost no outsiders in the region, and it functions a fortified fiefdom. The scars of the wars have been iced over, and the isolation of the clan meant there was plenty of wild land to explore. For Tiv is was an idyllic childhood, with numerous siblings and cousins close by and near total freedom from adult interference. It was only as he grew into his teen years that the dark side of his clan's reactionary politics and militancy was revealed.<br /> <br /> The kids played with carefully blunted blades and were taught the basics of self defense, but upon adolescence training for the expected war started in earnest. The scar across Tiv's face is the result of an accident, when a cousin misjudged a swing of an ''ushaan'' and nearly took his eye, but the many, mostly hidden, scars on his hands, arms, and upper body were the result of a training ideology that considered the painful injuries to be the most effective teaching tool available. In addition to the demands of school, religious practice, and combat training, the teens were expected to join there families in the hard labor necessary to keep the community going. In Tiv's case that meant the dangerous work of finding ore in the mostly emptied mine. There he gained a reputation for being particularly skilled at coaxing old and outdated machinery into continued working, the limited wealth of the clan being directed into weaponry rather than more peaceful purchases.<br /> <br /> These hard years were when Tiv became fascinated with the traditions of other Andorian clans and the traditions of other species entirely, and also developed and affiliation with the ideals of Starfleet.

He refused absolutely, and after several days of being alternately scolded and cajoled by every adult he knew for failing to consider the needs of the clan, he announced he was leaving Weytahn immediately. Several yelling matches later, he was on his way to Earth and Starfleet Academy.<br /> <br /> Relations with his clan remain fraught, though he rarely actually argues with anyone about his future anymore, yet he maintains close contact with the extended family despite the tension.
