I am very much in love with language and take every opportunity I can to read and increase my vocabulary - it's no wonder that I have found and enjoy this wonderful forum of creativity (Would that I had discovered it before!) Recently I finished reading the '''''"Sword of Truth"''''' series by Terry Goodkind and am now looking for the next great adventure in reading. | I am very much in love with language and take every opportunity I can to read and increase my vocabulary - it's no wonder that I have found and enjoy this wonderful forum of creativity (Would that I had discovered it before!)

I spent a good portion of the summer of 2009 with my ears glued to the book on CD I chose to tackle. Yes, on CD, I wouldn't DARE tackle this particular one in print.... drumroll please.... '''''"Great Expectations"''''' by Charles Dickens.... a slog of a book even on CD (15 CDs to be exact). I'm thinking my next project will be to re-tackle '''''"Gravity's Rainbow"''''' by Thomas Pynchon and/or some other large (extremely large) classic of a book. Suggestions? '''''"Catcher in the Rye"''''' by J.D. Salinger is my current read but it's not super long. | I spent a good portion of the summer of 2009 with my ears glued to the book on CD I chose to tackle.

I'm currently studying for a Masters in Religious Education. (YIKES) I have 8 credits under my belt and plan on taking 1 course per semester during the year and a couple in the summer. This coming fall is "History of the (Catholic) Church". | ||

I am also a self proclaimed computer geek and love to fiddle around with computers. I particularly enjoy working with a program similar to PhotoShop (called '''''Gimp'''''), where I have created the Character photos you see for my characters. (Not bad eh?) I think I'll drop in a couple of my other creations as well, just for the heck of it... scroll down, you'll like them. | I am also a self proclaimed computer geek and love to fiddle around with computers.

Arysha is a member of the Atrean species. She was born on a Federation Space Station after her parents had fled their home planet Atrea. The planet's magma core was found to be cooling and many people fled the planet. Most returned following the help the Enterprise-D provided Drs. Pran and Juliana Tainer that reliquified the core, but Canek and Timil Tethlin were engineering scientists and interested in working with the Federation elsewhere. | Arysha is a member of the Atrean species.

Arysha looks like a typical Atrean, and the only thing that one would see in looking at her is that she wears a pair of black gloves that shimmer in the light as her hands move. She also wears what appears to be a pair of silver framed glasses. Both these items are essential for Arysha to get through day to day life. The glasses provide her with a realtime textual translation of speech and other pertinent information around her. The gloves provide a realtime translation that is vocalized by a vox when she communicates. Arysha is completely Deaf and uses Sign Language to communicate, the vox she wears translates her language almost literally - thus, most of the time she "speaks" Federation Standard but the syntax is similar to a Latin-based Earth sign language colloquially known as ASL. | Arysha looks like a typical Atrean, and the only thing that one would see in looking at her is that she wears a pair of black gloves that shimmer in the light as her hands move.

She's a very affable person, except when it comes to Cardassians - she's had many a difficulty restraining herself in their presence as she was under the thumb of the Cardassians until she was 9 years old - forced to work the mines on Bajor, where she received the scar that runs up her left arm to her temple. She's usually content and polite, but sometimes she can be a bit impatient and has little tolerance for those who shirk their duties. | She's a very affable person, except when it comes to Cardassians - she's had many a difficulty restraining herself in their presence as she was under the thumb of the Cardassians until she was 9 years old - forced to work the mines on Bajor, where she received the scar that runs up her left arm to her temple.

Aurik Barsh is a Takaran and a member of the Starfleet Marine Corps. He is a career Marine. | |||
Because of a wicked sense of humour, Aurik has the nickname of "Brash". | |||
Aurik grew up a somewhat troubled youth. Growing up amongst 6 siblings, 5 of whom are male, caused him to seek attention in all the wrong ways. Aurik was sent to Starfleet Marine Boot Camp at 17 in hopes that the discipline and training provided would help focus his energies and halt his decline onto the wrong path. | |||

Radulf is an instructor at Starfleet Academy and is assigned to Holodeck 11. He comes from an old German family and carries the straight-laced, strict, no nonsense attitude taught to him by his Vater and Grosvater. Part of this attitude is an attentiveness to detail that borders on obsessive compulsive. He is also rather touchy on the subject of respect and doesn't like cocky cadets. | Radulf is an instructor at Starfleet Academy and is assigned to Holodeck 11.
