Personality & Traits

General Overview		Kelen is clever, restless, and easily frustrated by inefficiency. He approaches every task like a problem to be solved as quickly and cleanly as possible, which often means bending procedure to get results. His mouth has cost him more commendations than he would admit, but his technical work rarely falls short. He feels things sharply, and his Andorian instincts for defence and loyalty can tip into defiance when he believes someone is putting the team at risk. Anger comes quickly, then passes, leaving regret that he hides beneath dry humour. He prefers to repair rather than talk. If someone earns his respect through competence and fairness, his loyalty becomes absolute. Kelen’s humour is crisp and cutting but never cruel. He often works after hours in the armoury or auxiliary comms bay, fixing malfunctioning gear left by others. He will never mention doing it.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Strengths: - Expert communications and counter-signal specialist - Skilled improviser under pressure - Clear and calm in combat situations - Loyal once trust is established Weaknesses: - Impulsive when provoked or challenged - Prone to argumentative responses to authority - Struggles with de-escalation after conflict - Has difficulty admitting vulnerability or asking for help
Ambitions		Kelen does not seek promotion so much as mastery. He wants to build better communications systems for units in high-interference or combat conditions and has begun drafting prototypes in his off-time. For now, he simply wants to be indispensable on the field.

Personal History		Born in 2364 on Starbase 4 to a Human communications officer and an Andorian tactical specialist, Kelen grew up surrounded by mixed traditions and expectations. His Andorian features often drew questions, teaching him early to define himself through skill rather than heritage. He enlisted in the Federation Ground Forces at eighteen, specialising in communications and signal systems. Early reports described him as “gifted but impatient.” A series of frontier postings shaped his attitude toward efficiency and authority; he values results above hierarchy and believes leadership should be earned, not assigned. He has served on several planetary and shipboard details, developing a reputation for fixing systems faster than anyone else while collecting a modest stack of warnings for tone and initiative. Transferred to the USS Guinevere in 2389 to replace a departing comms specialist, Kelen has already shown both promise and volatility in equal measure. He carries a compact field data-cable coiled on a worn strap attached to his belt. The strap once belonged to his Andorian parent, used in cold-climate training. He keeps it as a reminder that good equipment and loyalty are both tested by endurance.
