SECTION 3: PERSONAL HISTORY




I was born on the planet Mars. My earliest memory is recieving word that my father had been killed in an accident at the Martian Shipyards. I was six at the time. My father was an Engineer working on improving the efficiency of Starfleet's Warp Drives. He was on board the USS Argo, a ship based off the Olympic class starship, trying out some modifications which he believed would improve efficieny by 25%. It didn't work. The warp bulbble around his ship collapsed, and the USS Argo was lost.

My Mother was a Doctor stationed at Mars when the accident happened. After the loss, my Mother requested that she be transferred to Starship duty, and my Mother was quickly lost in her work..

I spent the next ten years of my life on the USS Crick, a federation Medical Research Vessel. Since my mother was so engrossed in her work, I was able to spend a lot of time on my own, exploring the ship, and talking with officers and guests that were more interesting to the Doctors.

It is here that I discovered my skill with language. Some of the research the ship did was on disease outbreaks on homeworlds of many other species. I was curious so I went to talk to those people, they appreciated the company, and I would spend many hours talking to annoyed patients that the Doctors were working with . I enjoyed working with the people to allow my self to communicate with them without the benifit of the translators. I was able to become knowledgable in Klingon, Cardassian, Ferengi, even Romulan from a stay in a Nuetral Zone system. While I would not be mistaken as a native speaker of any of these languages, I am good enough that I can communicate effectively, and I found that in my Diplomatic Work so far, the ability to converse without translators has been considered impressive, and has been favorable on my negotiations.

I was accepted to StarFleet Academy at the age of 17. My time at school was interesting. I got along with most students and teachers. While I did well in the Academy, I graduated near the 30th Precentile in my class. My earliy were plauged with a rebellious attitude, where I would sometimes not do work I was assigned that I'd felt was tedious or boring. Unfortunately, a slight problem with authority has plauged me to this day, but I have matured to where I will to do the work ordered me by my superiors, though I have been known to voice displeasure when I've been unhappy with my orders.

During my time at the Academy, I focused on classes that would help me communicate and work with other races, and would prepare me to work with these other peoples. I was kind of suprised at first when I had to take a class on Basic Combat Techniques. Yes, there is a class on this
required for all Academy Graduates, but there was one specific to my field of study. I learned soon enough, that sometimes, talks to fall apart, and I discovered that I was actually pretty good at phaser combat. I wasn't the best Marksman in the Academy, but my prowess caused me to get a supplemental degree in Combat Strategies, meaning that I have some skill with not only fighting, but leading other in Combat, along with some very basic Starship Combat instruction.

I graduated the Academy on Stardate 10427 with a Degree in Galaxy Diplomacy and Languages, with the Supplement in Combat Strategies. I was took a job working for Starfleet in their General Diplomatic Division, but I soon bored of negotiating simple treaties and helping Star Fleet do nothing more that "keep up appearances." I also missed travelling the stars, so I requested transfer to a Starship as a Special Operations Officer. I waited Three months before recieving my first commision, on board the USS Challenger.




SECTION 4: CHARACTER'S ATTRIBUTES




1) Talents: I have a great ability with language and am partially fluent in Klingon, Cardassian, Romulan, and Ferengi. My familiarity with these languages and my natural charisma have allowed me to work well with Diplomatic parties, who appreciate not having to depend always on translators.

4) Likes: Loves learning about people, and cultures. Really enjoys spending time around people, though he can develop a smugness that turns some people off. Really enjoys games that involve other people.

5) Dislikes: People who don't seem very tolerant, or seem really ignorant. Dislikes tasks that he sees as menial or boring, but he will do them.

7) Limitations: Can have a slight problem with authority, likes to be in charge. Is a little wary around people he doesn't know very well.

8) Strengths: Works well with people, even if he is a little standoffish at first. Is great at reading people, and figuring out what their thinking and what they want.

SECTION 5: CHARACTER'S CAREER




Working for Starfleet with some Basic Diplomacy, Ambar has done a fair amount of working with Ambassadors in the interest of keeping relationships strong.
