Personality & Traits

General Overview		Skylar is your boy next door type, the kind of guy you could take home to your parents and have them fall in love with. While usually, he is the friendly, bubbly and approachable type he is known to shift into his more charming and mischievous ways if needs must, or a particular situation or person calls for it. Generally, he is warm and easy-going off duty and known to be the life and soul of any party. He likes to think of himself as a best friend to all and loves nothing more than the company of others. This is a man who knows how to play hard, but at the same time, knows how to work hard. His choice of humour tends to lean to the more sarcastic side, so people who are easily offended can take a while to warm to him. Skylar takes his duty seriously and gives it the respect and importance it deserves. He genuinely tries to have a friendly rapport with all the crew, so they feel comfortable approaching him at any time they need.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Skylar is kind, caring and overly protective of those he holds close to him. Normally under pressure, he has a calm façade aiding him to be a confident leader in times of crisis. Skylar has an impulsive nature and does not necessarily allow others time to catch up to his way of thinking or to point out flaws in a plan. Add to a natural impatience he has grown over the years, and this often can get him into trouble. Skylar tends to have a wandering eye when single, and an attractive man is known to draw his attention and cloud his focus.
Ambitions		To work in Starfleet Medical, working on cutting edge research to improve the medical field.
Hobbies & Interests		Skylar is a talented guitar player and is currently indulging his interest in the gym. You will most likely find him in the gym or in the lounge, playing his guitar and singing old Earth ‘country’ music.

Personal History		Coming from a less than traditional family is a point of pride for Skylar. He could not have asked for a better upbringing than he got with his two fathers and two older sisters. Never knowing his mother never really bothered him, Skylar knew about her, her passing and from a young age was encouraged to visit her grave, and remaining family was a way to stay connected and be thankful. While one father was his biological and the other adopted he made no distinction and tried to keep it, so he never knew which was which. To him, one was Dad and the other Pop or Popsicle if he needs something. His sister were typical older sisters, tormented him but loved him dearly and would do anything for him. As they were both a few years older than Skylar when he was born, they loved looking after their baby brother and secretly still like to, to this day.
Service Record		The Academy was a bit of a challenge for Skylar, for his instructors, on the other hand, Skylar was the biggest challenge. He constantly questioned, never in front of his class, but always stayed behind out of respect for the teacher. His thirst for knowledge and knowing the intricate workings of everything pushed him to read beyond the syllabus, explore out of the remit and try things in the lab no one expected. He often took on other projects and assisted upper-class men with their studies. He could have pushed himself to complete years quicker but was in no rush. Skylar enjoyed the stimulating environment of the Academy, having like minds to debate subjects with and really challenge his thinking. Upon advancing to Ensign, he was assigned to a small Miranda class as his first assignment. It was here he finally got to put all of his knowledge in a real, working and at times, dangerous, environment. It wouldn’t be too long until Skylar felt he needed a further challenge and sought out chances for further research until his eventual redeployment or hopefully promotion.
