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.

Actually, my current challenge is that I've gone back to University. 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. I have finished '''''"Introduction to Spirituality"''''', '''''"Introduction to the Old Testament"''''', '''''"The Letters of Saint Paul"''''', and '''''"The Gospel of John"'''''. | Actually, my current challenge is that I've gone back to University.

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.

She is the only female that can put Peter in his place - excepting his CO Captain [[Eva Straton]]. She is the one character that I am purposely styling as Roman Catholic and French Canadian. I haven't had opportunity to develop her much beyond what is already here, but I'm certain she will become "une femme très formidable". | She is the only female that can put Peter in his place - excepting his CO Captain [[Eva Straton]].

Viskhard is a rather intellectual fellow who likes to study in his free time (he has a list of subjects he wants to take). A scientist through and through, he is always fascinated by just about anything. He's not your typical Denobulan though, in that he is not, and has no desire to begin marrying - though should he find the right girl(s) he wouldn't be against the idea! | Viskhard is a rather intellectual fellow who likes to study in his free time (he has a list of subjects he wants to take).

He sometimes struggles to maintain his composure in difficult situations. One can usually tell when Visk feels threatened, as his face tends to puff out in typical [[Denobulan]] form and his eyes will take on | He sometimes struggles to maintain his composure in difficult situations.

I'm remaking Viskhard a little, making him more of a nod to my brother, who passed away this year. You can read a bit more on that at the bottom of his profile. | I'm remaking Viskhard a little, making him more of a nod to my brother, who passed away this year.

I'm styling the character as cool, calm and collected - but with an intensity that makes you know when you don't want to get on her bad side. This intensity serves her well when putting the screws to recalcitrant witness during JAG investigations, which allows her to get what she needs without resorting to dubious means. She is loyal to the [[52nd Fleet]] and would rather be under JAG scrutiny herself than betray them. | I'm styling the character as cool, calm and collected - but with an intensity that makes you know when you don't want to get on her bad side.

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.

[[Image: Aurik_Barsh.jpg|thumb|left|Third Lieutenant Aurik Barsh]] {{Infobox Marines Player}} | |||
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. | |||
