Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Quote: "You can learn a lot by fixing things you didn't break. Emiliano is unassuming but sharp. He speaks when it counts and observes when it doesn't. He has a dry sense of humour and a stubborn practicality shaped by years aboard understaffed ships where the primary concern was getting from point A to point B. He rarely brags, but he knows he's good at what he does. Very comfortable around engineers, tacticians, oddballs. He gravitates toward people with integrity and purpose. He prefers order but won't avoid chaos. He's not afraid of hierarchy but certainly doesn't revere it. Starfleet is just his employer--not his identity. |
|
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: -Deep practical knowledge of starship systems beyond formal training--particularly computer optimization, power distribution, and environmental systems. -Natural at de-escalating tension; good at "reading the room" and quietly redirecting conflict -Adapts quickly in emergencies Weaknesses: -Reluctant to delegate -Dislikes excessive ceremony/bureaucracy, which can lead to friction with more by-the-book officers -Underplays his own accomplishments, sometimes to his own detriment |
|
| Ambitions | Emiliano has no burning desire of rank or glory. He measures success by whether he can keep systems working and optimized. If pressed, he might admit to dreaming of someday captaining a small civilian vessel or running an independent repair outfit. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | -Enjoys brewing strong coffee and has a ritual around it -Has a dog named Mateo that is a mixed breed (sort of a wiry terrier with some herding dog traces). He is five years-old and is alert, clever, fiercely loyal, and a little suspicious of strangers at first. He was rescued after Emiliano found him as a pup at a civilian space station near the Klingon border. |
| Personal History | Born in San Isidro de General, Costa Rica, Emiliano spent less than a year planetside before his parents took postings aboard a series of long-hail transport and supply vessels. His mother captained modest freighters through unpredictable sectors while his father maintained their crumbling systems. Along with his young brother, Emiliano was between deck plating and warp manifolds. By adolescence, he could patch a communications relay system and reprogram a replicator with his eyes closed. These were skills born from necessity and boredom. He was homeschooled aboard these ships, taught the basics, but also shadowed cargo crews, learned emegency protocols, and picked up multiple dialects along the way. |
