HD06 - Tactical Cadet Michael Brennan

[Amelina Whittaker]

== Welcome to your holodeck Cadet Brennan,

Read the following information carefully, because it has a fair amount of important information for you.  If you have any questions or difficulties at any time, please contact one of the following people for assistance.  We’d be glad to help you out.

Commander Jasal 
Commander Shanth  
Captain Allen  

Remember during your time at Academy people have responsibilities such as school, jobs, and family, as well as maintaining our site. There are times when we may have to wait longer than we’d like for a reply to a post or a question. Patience and treating each other with respect and dignity are two things that are absolutely required of all members.

On the flip side, the Constitution states that players need to post at least twice a week.  If you find you are unable to keep up due to something coming up in real life responsibilities or you’re just going to be on holiday, please let one of the Admins know.  You can be granted a leave of absence for the length of time you think you’ll be away.  If you don’t let us know and you suddenly disappear, this could end up with you being considered AWOL and eventually removed from the active cadet roster.

Now… with all of that said, let’s get to your character’s bio!

Please begin by posting your bio using the template below. Once posted, your bio will be reviewed by an Evaluations representative. They will post comments for you and suggest any adjustments your bio might require.  Once they approve your bio, you will be assigned an instructor and your adventure will begin!

Federation Space is a written RPG. With that said, we ask that you try to pay attention to spelling and grammar in your posts.  Posts properly formatted are easier and more enjoyable for everyone to read. I strongly recommend you run your bio and any posts you make through a spell check before posting them.

Next are a few resources that can help you as you write your bio:

Be sure to check out playable races.

Our character development page is a great resource to help you fill out your bio form.

One last thing, please take time to read and understand our site’s canon page.  This will help you understand what 'Trek' related information is included on our site.

Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!  And as always - have fun!

Personal History:
Brennan grew up in a technologically advanced family with a strong foundation in mechanics and engineering.  However, his family had a long and proud history of military service, dating back to his great-great-grandparents and continuing forward.  His mother and father didn’t have the same desire to serve as they did; however, with his great-grandfather serving as an MAKO, he desired to carry on the tradition and continue in active duty.  When he was fourteen, he wanted to understand weapons and different firearms as well as the starships that can utilize them. 

He pursued his endeavors and took up a martial art to fortify his body physically and mentally, studying multiple styles such a Krav Maga, kick boxing, and weight lifting.  As his body grew, so did his passion for hunting and weaponry.  When he was 18, he got into his first major fight while visiting out of state at a local bar, but found himself on the receiving end of a fight against four individuals who had insulted his lineage by speaking ill of the military and its actions.  To a fault, he defended his honor and his family’s name but barely making it out of an otherwise near-death situation.  He thought initially his fight was with one individual, but the others came from around the corner and ambushed him.  He didn’t win the fight, but he also didn’t lose.

He took his lesson from this and applied to Starfleet Academy for the tactical and security divisions to not only learn to protect himself and his ambitions, but also others who would come under serious threat of violence.  He has no desire to harm unless necessary, but as soon as someone crosses that line, he will have no qualms about pulling the trigger.  His tenure in the academy has been one of focus and patience.  He has avoided going to any type of bar as a result of the trauma he suffered.

== Personality ==

Short-Term Goals: Achieve the rank of ensign with high marks from the academy.

Long-Term Goals: To develop a new line of starships designed for war situations to prevent any impending invasion.

Personality: Serious when on duty, but light-hearted and jovial when on his own time.

Sense of Humor:  Very much exists even if he doesn’t acknowledge the joke when working.

Phobias: Bars, cock roaches

Likes: meadows, forests, and calm fields

Dislikes: disrespect of any kind, people who talk without thinking

Pet Peeves/Gripes: people chewing food with the mouth open, uncleanliness

Bad Habits / Vices: Fights a bit of a drinking problem, presently three years sober, even from synthahol

Achievements: Gold medal in trap shooting for a local event, non-Olympic

Disappointments: Having to repeat a year of the academy for not passing a year of classes.

Illnesses: None

Strengths: Wrestling, Hunting

Weaknesses: Historical knowledge outside of the military, sense of fashion.

Fears: Not being able to protect people well enough to preserve life. 

Prejudices: None

== Questions ==

Best Time: Claiming his first kill on a bear.
Most Crucial Experience: Being able to defend his families honor, even if he lost the physical fight.
Role Model:  Great great grandfather Foster Brennan

==Apologies for the delay! Life has a habit of ambushing people at the worst moment, and unfortunately you seem to have fallen through the cracks.

Overall, this is a fairly good start for your bio. There are things I'd like to see addressed, though.
1) I'd like to see more detail in each of your paragraphs. For example: your character has a best friend, but there's no mention of him. I'd also like to see more about his time at the Academy.
2) It's MACO - Military Assault Command Operations
3) I believe even in the 25th century, the legal drinking age is 21.
4) If your character double-majors, it'll add two years to his Academy training. I would recommend making Security a minor rather than a major.==

Personal History:
Brennan grew up in a technologically advanced family with a strong foundation in mechanics and engineering. However, his family had a long and proud history of military service, dating back to his great-great-grandparents and continuing forward. His mother and father didn’t have the same desire to serve as they did; however, with his great-grandfather serving as an MACO, he desired to carry on the tradition and continue in active duty. When he was fourteen, he wanted to understand weapons and different firearms as well as the starships that can utilize them.

He pursued his endeavors and took up a martial art to fortify his body physically and mentally, studying multiple styles such a Krav Maga, kick boxing, and weight lifting. This is where he ended up meeting his now best friend Zander Black as he became is favorite sparring partner. They constantly tried to one-up each other until they kept balancing each other’s abilities. As his body grew, so did his passion for hunting and weaponry. When he was 18, he got into his first major fight while visiting out of state at a local bar while using a fake ID, but found himself on the receiving end of a fight against four individuals who had insulted his lineage by speaking ill of the military and its actions. To a fault, he defended his honor and his family’s name but barely making it out of an otherwise near-death situation. He thought initially his fight was with one individual, but the others came from around the corner and ambushed him. He didn’t win the fight, but he also didn’t lose.

Zander was never one to back off from a fight, either. While Michael was known for taking a more direct approach to the fight, Zander would be the one to grab a beer bottle and smash it, and sneak up behind those who were holding back to stop the fight. When it came time for the academy, though, they mostly went their separate ways in studies. Michael focused his attention on battle, tactics, and weapon systems, while Zander focused on the scientific side, along with some engineering.

He took his lesson from this and applied to Starfleet Academy for the tactical and security divisions to not only learn to protect himself and his ambitions, but also others who would come under serious threat of violence. He has no desire to harm unless necessary, but as soon as someone crosses that line, he will have no qualms about pulling the trigger. His tenure in the academy has been one of focus and patience. He has avoided going to any type of bar as a result of the trauma he suffered.
