Background Summary: ----------------------- Ens. Noventa was created in a Orion Syndicate Genetic/Weapons lab as a bodyguard/After-hours Companion , for a high level planetary official of a prominent trading planet well outside Federation juristicntion. The chief geneticist at the lab was Dr. Christopher Vallance, a brilliant, but ethically bankrupt scientist. He designed and created Karen, then known only as number 13 out of clone batch Beta-3. She has 13-Beta3 tattooed on her left ankle. She was then give an injection of stolen borg nanoprobes (modified) and equipped with other borg implants. The lab was raided two weeks later by a Security and Investigations Unit off of the USS Lincoln, Commanded by Capt. Jonathan Noventa. As the only survivor of the raid, Karen was taken in by the crew of the USS LINCOLN, to be later adopted by Capt. Noventa. He named the baby Karen, after his late wife. The next six years of her life were spent on the USS LINCOLN, where she was raised by the command crew until Capt. Noventa decided to retire back home to the Greenwood Traditionalist Park, Where he grew up. Karen went to the local school, where she was a straight A student. Unfortunatly, being an outcast, she ended up in several fights. An almost certian way to get in a fight with Karen was to either insult her father, who she loves more than anything, or to actually hit her. She graduated with honors at the head of her class, and went on to Star Fleet Academy to follow in her father's footsteps. ------------------------------- IV. Official Star Fleet Record ------------------------------- A. Promotion History: ---------------------- 121013: Commissioned as Ensign (O-1). --------------------- B. Service History: -------------------- 081013: Entered Star Fleet Academy. 121013: Commissioned as Ensign (O-1). 121216: Assigned as Enigneering Officer, USS CONSTELLATION -------------------- C. Medals and Commendations: None. D. Reprimands: 3 official reprimands due to engaging in fights with fellow students over her Borg nature, also several dozen suspected fights off campus, but not pursued due to lack of evidence. 1 official reprimand for playing a practical joke on a fellow cadet (who will not be named do to the embarrasing nature of the incident), who rallied the cadets of Cadet Noventa's dorm to raid her quarters in the middle of the night and throw her out in the street with only her pajamas on. Where she had to spend the whole night before she could get back in. The Cadet in question was given a rather light slap on the wrist (by Noventa's judgement anyway), by the Acadamy Administrators. The incident apparently made Cadet Noventa furious enough to take matters into her own hands. Cadet Noventa reprogrammed the transporter to beam the cadet in question into the middle of the Academy pool, naked, instead of to the training ship in orbit. Cadet Noventa was placed on probation for her entire third year at Star Fleet Academy, where she swore an oath to never tamper with a transporter for personal reasons ever again. The Unamed cadet and Cadet Noventa maintain a fierce hatred for each other to this day. ------------------------- V. Skills Profile ------------------------- Professor Quentin Johnson, Advanced Nanotechnology Applications, Starfleet Academy "Ens. Noventa is a very extraordinary young woman who shows incredible promise in the field of Nanotechnology and applications. She performs well on real-life problems and has surprising creativity when challenged with problems outside the scope of this course. Ens. Noventa's knowledge of Borg Nanotechnology often exceeds my own." Professor James R. Dison, Leadership Skills, Starfleet Academy "Ens. Noventa has a great potential for creative leadership solutions, however, her lack of appropriate interpersonal skills leaves her searching for the proper way to describe them. With training and dedication she has the ability to go far." Professor Sophia Corvack, Engineering, Starfleet Academy "Ens. Noventa has an incredible talent for anything mechanical or electronic, with an extensive instinct for tinkering to improve basic designs. Highly creative, her experience of being raised in a starship really shows in her engineering classes. -------------------------- VI. Recent Fitness Report -------------------------- Physical Fitness Report, Ens. Karen Noventa Due to her unusual genetic and Borg creation, Ens. Noventa has the strength and stamina of an above average Vulcan, extremely rapid healing, and the unusual ability to consume extremely vast quantities of alcohol. This unusal ability is made possible by her unique body chemistry, metabolism, and nanoprobes. Ens. Noventa's right hand, the borg one, has the strength to actually bend duranium, and has the ability to morph its shape into a sharp set of serated claws. It is believed that this particular ability is used by the Borg for slicing through bulkheads and other surfaces in order to better assimilate the technology underneath. The assimilation tubules on her right hand are fully capable, and she has the ability to assimiliate people, but Ens. Noventa does not have the ability to control the people that she assimilates for more than a short time, (A few hours at most, for one to three people), before their oringinal personalities regain control. See Cadet Noventa's Psychological Profile for more information. Ens. Noventa's unique DNA is a synthesis of several races, eighteen of which are still unidentified. How Dr. Vallance managed to combine the DNA strands of over two hundred different species into one stable strand is still a mystery to the best minds of Star Fleet Medical. The Borg nanoprobes that were injected into Cadet Noventa have been heavilly modified in order to better complement Ens. Noventa's unique genetic structure. Ens. Noventa's metabolism is quite unique, in order to power all of her implants, a more efficient digestive proccess was designed. Ens. Noventa's body also needs some special enzymes that only come from real meat. Attempts to replicate these enzymes have proven less than satisfactory, as they tend to breakdown after a few minutes. Ens. Noventa must eat at least a pound of meat every month or her body will become malnurished and start slowing down, go into a coma, then death after eight weeks. Please note that these are the minimum requirements, and for Ensign Noventa to remain healthy, she needs at least a pound a week for optimal performance. She is quite capable of executing her duties as a Star Fleet officer. --------------------------- VII. Psychological Profile --------------------------- Counselor Sabrina Tavel, Staff Counselor, Starfleet Academy "Karen is a highly intelligent individual with a history of being the victim of racism because of her Borg nature. She struggles with feelings of inadequacy and personal trust issues, which has led to a drinking problem. But She has learned to control those feelings so as to effectively work in groups. She tends to be an extremely shy individual and to be sought out instead of seeking others. Karen also shows difficulty in forming lasting friendships, since she has had so few true relationships of that kind. She also clings to her identity as a Starfleet member, as it offers her some form of acceptance in a group that she can be proud of. Karen feels that she needs constant challenges in order to prove that she is not some mindless drone, and that she is an individual, thinking being. While Karen has the ability to temporarily assimilate people, Karen shows extreme fear of using this ability exept in the most extreme circumstances, as Starfleet might put her in a research lab for the rest life." "Karen tends to deal with the more emotional issues in her life by drinking, usually alone. Due to her unique metabolism, she can outdrink most known species. It is not unusual to find her in a bar with three or four empty bottles on the table. Though no one has ever seen Karen drink enough to get really drunk, I believe that she drinks in order to forget that most people hate and fear her." "Overall, Karen is a serious (and nervous) individual with people she does not know well, but can actually be quite friendly when you get to know her. Karen gets along well on a surface level with her classmates. I do not see any difficulty in her living in confined spaces and would recommend that she be considered for a ship position in a challenging environment." ------------------------------------- VIII. Current Recreational Interests ------------------------------------- Karen prefers to find solace in working on various gadgets, reading, and taking care of her cat, Felix. She can also be found in various holo scenarios to help with her personal science projects, but rarely shows her work to anyone. Karen also enjoys old 20th century style music, particularly Elvis and the 1950-70's. And she also enjoys movies from the late 20th, early 21st century. One of Karen's less desirable recreational interest is drinking, she can be found at the Acadamy lounge most nights. Another is a long hidden addiction to video games, of which her father strongly disapproves. But, due to Karen's recent Graduation party, she received a Sony Playstation 2412, so expect this habit to occupy several of her off-duty shifts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IX. Miscellaneous Information ------------------------------ Physical description: Karen is relatively beautiful for a human female, a real head turner, tall, and light weight. But her borg implants stand out sharply, she has implants on her right neck, right temple, over her left eye, along her left jawbone, and on her entire right hand. She looks generally of the right form of an athletic/highly attractive humanoid female. Her unusual DNA also gives Karen some unique characteristics, such as long pointed cat like ears, small (but very noticeable) fangs, and a long silver haired tail, which Karen can use as a third hand to wrap around and hold objects. Her hair is naturally Silver and straight, her eyes are very large, extremely bright Emerald green, and seem to glow like a cats. Karen's face is slim, but lights up in the times that she smiles or grins. Her eyes are very expressive and she tends to interpret others' facial expressions as an indication of how they will react to certain news. She has medium, dexterous hands, and favors her right hand, which has two Borg assimilation tubes that she can use to directly interface with any computer system. She has longer legs than torso. Personality description: Karen is a person whom most are able work with but that few really get to know. She has trouble adjusting to social situations,and tends towards thoughtful silence in the back observing every one else. This is due to her predatory nature, and the fact that cats aren't exactly the most social of animals is one reason why she is not comfortable in places where lots of people gather. Karen enjoys hunting, due to her predatory nature, and has a almost Klingon view on food, "The more it moves the better" is Karen's attitude toward food. Karen rarely laughs, but when she does, it's infectious. People can make her instantly happy just by scratching behind her ears or her back, and Karen will purr like there's no tomorrow, although Karen only lets people she trusts do that, namely her father, the crew of the USS LINCOLN, and best friend/Roommate from the Academy. She has a tendency to be very self-deprecating and nervous, especially around superiors and embarrassing situations, also, Karen tends to stutter when she's nervous (only about once or twice a sentence). She can be very scared inside, (and usually is when around people) though she quells those feelings as much as she can. Karen drinks to help relieve those feelings, normally she'll be in the lounge, but when shes really depressed, she shuts herself up in her quarters to get drunk alone. Under high-pressure situations, more of Karen's predatory nature asserts itself, a real "Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead" kind of personality, a nd can be depended to get things done, come hell or high-water. On a long shore leave, she'll visit one or two people from her past - most times she'll visit her father, Capt. Noventa, who is living at the Greenwood Tradionalist Park, or her Academy friend Arial Kim, the only person at the Academy to see beyond Karen's implants and that she is a real human being, a fellow engineer who is posted at the Utopia Planitia shipyards on Mars. On short ones, she often visits space salvage yards (hey, you never know what you can find in those places), to see if she can find anything cheap that she can fix up. She also likes to visit local museums and historical areas if she has time.
