McDermott is very much a student of military history and his abilities and scores in tactical simulations are nothing short of astounding. He seems to have an intuitive grasp of strategy and how to best make use of whatever resources or weapons he has available to exploit the weaknesses of his opponents. While his battle plans are extensive and cover almost every contingency, he has an uncanny ability to compensate and adjust when everything goes wrong without so much as batting an eye.

McDermott consistently scores at Marksman level with hand held weapons and has achieved a 3rd degree black belt in Aikido and has earned his second degree in Kendo. Preferred weapons are either two (One in each hand), Type 2 Phaser’s or a Type 3 Phaser rifle. He is also a dangerous duelist with either a katana or with his preferred weapon, a Hrathen Razor Saber.

Despite being overmatched, McDermott succeeded in leading the USS Vindicator in a nearly forty-five minute long hit and run battle which eventually resulted in the crippling of the Vindicator. In the climax of the battle McDermott made use of a modified version of the Picard Maneuver, which would later come to be called [[McDermott’s Sidestep]]. After the Vindicator was disabled the Hegh'delar was able to pick up the rescue team and Lt. Tagon without further incident and withdraw from the system.

Despite the fact that the mission was unauthorized, McDermott did not face charges or sanctions upon returning to the Nimitz and was promoted to Lieutenant(jg) by Captain Sash.

On Stardate 2407.03.22 the Nimitz received orders from the Admiralty to conduct a snap raid on [[Cait]] Prime ([[Cait|Ferasa]]) with the objective of verifying the existence and destroying a Doenitz research facility believed to be developing biogenetically altered Caitains for use as Super-Soldiers. On this same day McDermott was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade by Captain [[Devan Sash]]. To McDermott's utter shock just a few days later on Stardate 2407.03.25 he was posted as the [[Second Officer]] by Captain Sash, when the Nimitz's First Officer Commander [[Jonas Lemar]] was forced to take an emergency leave of absence.

After slipping through [[Cait]] orbital defenses, McDermott and his crewmates were able to make contact with the two Starfleet officers as well as a local resistance group, just outside the village of Chtarr.

Early the next morning the team struck a Caitain railway station and commandeered a train that supplied the research facility that was their main objective. McDermott executed a flawless ambush and the team was able to take down the defenders without raising an alarm and used the train as transportation to the underground warehouse of the research facility itself.

During the final battle the citizens of Cait, incensed and finally pushed too far by their oppressors rose up in mass and attacked the defending Doenitz garrison and thereby sealing its fate.

Just before the final assault on Terra a small task force of vessels led by the USS Caesar Regnum warped into the system with the intent of making use of a massive Thalaron Radiation Generator, capable of producing Focused Cascading Biogenic pulses. The Regnum’s mission was to ensure that if Doenitz lost the war, there would be no Terra left to save.

During the battle both the Lydia and Sutherland was destroyed with the Ajax being so badly mauled that it would have to be scuttled after the battle. Despite this the Task Force was able to destroy the Regnum and it’s escorts before they could carry out their aims of genocide on Terra.

During his posting aboard the Nimitz, McDermott slowly came out of his self-imposed emotional shell and developed a friendship with Ensign Lawrence Drake, his subordinate when they both served in the USS Nimitz’ Tactical Department. Surprisingly, Eric has also developed a close friendship with the USS Nimitz’ [[First Officer]] Commander [[Jonas Lemar]].  
 
During his posting aboard the Nimitz, McDermott slowly came out of his self-imposed emotional shell and developed a friendship with Ensign Lawrence Drake, his subordinate when they both served in the USS Nimitz’ Tactical Department. Surprisingly, Eric has also developed a close friendship with the USS Nimitz’ [[First Officer]] Commander [[Jonas Lemar]]. Most recently Eric has formed a friendship with a Vulcan Security officer [[T'vel]] Whom he met while they were both transfering to the [[USS Dennison]].  


Much of Eric's emotional development came about as a result of his intimate relationship with Nimitz Ships Counselor [[Cecilia Bruce]]. While initially there were numerous misunderstandings between the two mostly due to Eric’s own inexperience and failure to understand his own feelings or Bruce’s. The couple overcame those challenges due to the powerful bond that had developed between them. The result was that the two became Imzadi as well as lovers for a brief, yet intense relationship.

Unfortunately this relationship came to an end due to a series of traumatic events that occurred during an away mission on [[Cait]] that caused Bruce to request a transfer of duty away from McDermott.

Most recently Eric has formed a friendship with a Vulcan Security officer [[T'vel]] whom he met while they were both transferring to the [[USS Dennison]]. During the final battle of the Doenitz Civil War, McDermott was severely injured and nearly died of his injuries. Suffering from complete paralysis, on life support and in a coma, McDermott showed know signs of recovery until T’vel performed an illicit mind-meld on him bringing him out of his coma.
McDermott is currently single.
 
Due to the link the two formed during the mind-meld T’vel joined McDermott at Star Fleet medical in order to help him communicate and assist him while he recovered. Since then the two have formed a bond that neither seems to openly discuss with others or even each other.

McDermott is also fascinated with archeology although that interest has gotten him in trouble from time to time. He is also a gifted computer hacker something that has not gotten him into trouble…yet.

His greatest weakness has been in socializing with or trusting others. His childhood experiences have left him uncomfortable in social situations, which he tries to avoid. He is most comfortable around [[Vulcan]]s and [[Klingon|Klingons]] whom he can relate well too. At one time McDermott was extremely uncomfortable around [[Betazoid]]s but his recent discovery of his own heritage and his relationship with [[Cecilia Bruce]] has forced him to face and overcome his prejudice. However due to his shame and remorse for his previous bigoted attitudes he is still uncomfortable around many Betazoids.

McDermott had begun to abandon the cold front that he presented to the world for so many years but his recent breakup with [[Cecilia Bruce]] has caused him to revert somewhat. He now smiles occasionally and has even been heard to laugh. While he still does not socialize much with his shipmates he has become more approachable and occasionally enters into casual conversation.

As a result of this discovery McDermott underwent some training with Nimitz ships Counselor [[Cecilia Bruce]] to learn how to use and control his talents. Unfortunately with their recent breakup McDermott is no longer actively seeking training from another telepath.

On Stardate 2407.07.08 McDermott was severely injured during a battle and impaled to a command chair aboard the [[USS Dennison]] by a support strut. McDermott suffered from severe internal injuries and his spinal column was severed. Due to the severe trauma caused by the strut McDermott suffered from complete paralysis and was unable to breath without life support.
McDermott spent a month at Star Fleet Medical having to undergo a complete spinal transplant as well as physical therapy in order to recover. While he has completely recovered he is still suffering from severe episodes of pain due to the trauma of the injury and repeated attempts using various pain therapy techniques have been unsuccessful to this date. McDermott refuses all but the most mild of pain medication citing the need to think clearly while on duty.


==Notes:==
==Notes:==


McDermott's inability to function socially with others in the past made him somewhat of a recluse. While he has vastly improved since going on active duty he is still a loner who is more interested in his duty and career than anything else. He is however more open to joining others in social activities than he has been in the past. Until recently he had no real experience with women but his recent, short but intense relationship, with [[Cecilia Bruce]] has changed that. The unfortunate end to that liaison however left him bitter and he has since remained steadfastly single.

Due to his lack of social abilities and due to his troubled past, Eric was very nearly dismissed from the Academy as Star Fleet Psych-Profiling indicated he was only marginal at best for adjusting to the Starfleet lifestyle. In the end however it was decided that there was not enough cause to dismiss him although a recommendation was made for him to be observed and monitored while at his first command, to ensure he was able to cope with life in Star Fleet.

While his adjustment was slow and sometimes painful he was been able to make the adjustment and has excelled at his career.

McDermott’s rise through the ranks has been meteoric and his accomplishments have been impressive by any estimation. McDermott has taken his advancement in stride and shows no signs that he feels overwhelmed or even nervous about the increased responsibility that he has gained so quickly. In fact his command presence, charisma and confidence is equal to that of a much older and more experienced officer.
