Description

Name: Fallan-Ra-Gensolii
Age: 49
Gender: M
Rank: Ensign
Division: Science
History:
He graduated from Starfleet at 22 years old, he originally wanted to be a technician, but soon after graduation, a colleague recommended he take time off to earn a scientific degree and to see a therapist. He spent two and a half years on Earth to complete his astrogeology degree and to undergo counseling for his various anger issues. He returned to Starfleet at 25 and has functioned well since then.

Fallan grew up as a normal Efrosian does, but he developed anger issues in his childhood. His mother displayed a fierce temper and frequently did not know how to handle her son's emotions. Her anger would frequently cause him stress, but he was not allowed to express his anxiety as fear, sadness, or most other emotions, as his mother claimed it would make him weak. Eventually, he came to copy her. It first surfaced as temper tantrums, then he began to yell and threaten others the way his mother would. Eventually, he reached a point where he would black out in his own rage. Both he and his mother realized this was a problem that neither of them could control or fix on their own.

His mother suggested he join Starfleet, and he took her advice. The regulations and rules did Fallan some good, but he still struggled in team settings. It was never enough to consider kicking him out of Starfleet, and he did not have any blackouts, but he earned a reputation. This continued up until a colleague and one of his friends throughout the academy recommended a psychologist on Earth and lent him a family summer home to relax in. Since then, Fallan's behavior has changed considerably. He's jumped around from ship to ship in his youth, for the sake of exploration and knowledge, but he is no longer a spring chicken. He's transferring to the Legacy in hopes that he can settle in for the long haul while his health is still good.

Today, his anger is mild. He keeps a control on it, and usually does not yell or even so much as raise his hand in anger. He has a tendency to tense up sometimes, especially when frustrated, but he has many coping methods now and has done well enough. He does not take medication for his issues because he doesn't need it. He finds solace from his anger in his work, the pursuit of knowledge, and in his hobbies, gardening and writing. On good days, he's amicable and friendly, if a little distanced. He tries to avoid situations that get his adrenaline running, as it tends to make it hard to control his temper. When he looses control, he tends to be arrogant and enjoys picking fights--something he'd never admit to himself.

Personality: He's actually a generally polite person to be around, though he can be painfully awkward. Sometimes, when particularly furious, he takes simple machinery apart and puts it back together, or attempts a jigsaw puzzle. Recently, he's taken to writing fictional novels. He isn't overly talkative, but he's deeply compassionate and loves the company of other people. He sometimes doesn't trust himself to be emotionally close to others, in fear that he'll have another episode again, even though it's been a long time since his last episode. He enjoys, gardening, writing, and science.
Other: As a part of his continued anger management program, he keeps plants. Small children appear to overwhelm him. He has an intense dislike for cats.

(I'm having one heck of a time making facial figures look unique. I'm going to have to practice more...)
