B. Background Summary: ====================== Lieutenant Pierce was born in 2385 as the eldest child in a Roman Catholic family. After several years, his parents began to bicker constantly, and still do to present day. They never considered divorce, due to their beliefs, driving Rafael to hide or leave to escape their arguments. When he was sixteen Rafael left his parents and his religion behind and attended Starfleet Academy, where he discovered his love of flight. Rafael became known for his unorthodox methods, always pushing whatever craft was under his control to the edge of its limits. C. Personality Summary: ======================= Rafael is a stubborn, strong-willed individual who attempts to follow regulations to the letter. This seems at odds, however, to his tendency towards reckless actions. When he sets himself a goal, he will pursue it relentlessly, almost obsessively, and can seem standoffish when in this mood. ==================================================== IV.

Medals and Commendations ============================ None ==================================================== V. Skills Profile ================== LTJG Pierce is an excellent navigation officer. He demonstrated, while a ship control division officer, his flair for astrogation. His career path was unusual, insofar as he transferred into the space warfare program from NASW. After eight months as a pilot, Pierce requested a transfer to the space warfare service citing burn out. This was granted based upon the commitment LTJG Pierce showed to SWO service by obtaining JOOD and OOD certification during his last carrier assignment. Once transferred, space warfare proved to be the better choice for LTJG Pierce, making better use of his administration skills. He is a surprisingly able administrator for a junior officer, and treats his subordinates fairly. LTJG Pierce has also qualifed as a Tactical Officer to broaden his skills and career options. ==================================================== VI. Recent Fitness Reports ========================== Ensign Pierce is an oddity. When on the ground he follows the regulations to the letter, but when in the air or in space he seems to be out of control. Every instructor here has requested an immediate psychological evaluation after flying with him for the first time. Mr. Pierce is an excellent pilot, but I am not sure if I would trust him on my wing. --LCDR M. Harris Chief Small Craft Pilot Instructor, SFAAFCMS Lieutenant Pierce is an excellent Navigation Officer. His departments efficiency is the highest that I have had under my command, and it has been a pleasure to serve with an officer of his caliber. I only wish he would look ahead to the future instead of dreaming for another assignment as a Destroyer's Navigation Officer. --CAPT A. Kuchar Commanding Officer, USS KOTLIN Lieutenant Pierce is in need of an attitude adjustment. His repeated attempts to get himself assigned to smaller vessels have stood in the way of performing his duties. That is unfortunate, for once he loses this obsession, he might become a half-way decent officer. Until then, however, one must keep Mr. Pierce under his thumb. --CAPT F. Ghazim Commanding Officer, USS CONSTELLATION =================================================== VIII. Current Recreational Interests ================================== Small Arms, past and present; playing jazz with his trombone; flying small craft. ==================================================== IX. NRPG Information ================================== Rafael earned the nickname 'Ripper' at the academy due to his initials. This was shortened however, to Rips, short for Rest In Pieces, which was what popular opinion thought he would end up as. He prefers to be called Rafe by his friends. Rafael is wary of new comanding officers until he feels that they deserve his respect. In childhood, Rafael learned to enjoy tight, enclosed spaces, and dislikes what he considers to be 'wasted space.' Additionally, Rafael has a distinct dislike for large ships, and is obsessively trying to get himself assigned to smaller vessels. ==================================================
