Description

Name: Angelina Stone
Race: Human
Age: 27
Rank: Captain

Appearance:


Angelina is not exactly what most people expect when they hear the words “Star-based Captain.” She is not tall or particularly buff or commanding. She is a petite, slender Korea-American with gorgeous, dark hair and large, innocent black eyes. She has pale skin and full lips, and is in all a very pretty specimen of a human woman. Her appearance is very carefully maintained – make-up, long nails, carefully kept hair that falls almost to her waist. She is too much the woman for most people to believe that she is also an officer in the Coalition, but that is part of her advantage. She has a sweet, bright smile and an air of innocence that hides her true nature. Everyone looks at her and truly believes that she wants to be friends. She is not outwardly threatening, nor does she seem at all prepared for the massive responsibility that has just been laid across her delicate model’s shoulders. She looks too small for the universe she has been shoved into, and everyone who sees her simply wants to protect her. She is adorable, she is pretty, and she is gentle… she is also strong, manipulative, and passionately independent. She knows how to use her feminine beauty. A trained diplomat, she is unashamed to use every tool she has at hand to make things come out the way she needs them to come out. Few would guess it by looking at her, but she is, in essence, a temptress and a monster. At least, she is if she has to be. She really prefers not to have to rely on that underhanded sort of negotiation.

Personality

Personality: Angelina is a very strong, independent young woman, in spite of all appearances. She is bold, unafraid to speak her mind and always confident of her belief in what is right, and what is wrong. She is a sacrifice by nature, willing to give anything and everything for the greater good. She would die for someone in an instant, and has on several occasions used her feminine charms to get what she thought was right done. She is bold and intelligent, clever, a strategist. Angelina has been known, on occasion, to become completely submerged in her work. She forgets to have fun, forgets to do what would be best for her, works herself into the ground. Back in Officer Academy, she landed herself in sick bay several times before she graduated, because she was working too hard to help new or struggling students pass their classes. She carries an inconvenient mentality – “no man left behind.” If she comes through, then she is determined that so should everyone else. She preaches unity and understanding, trust and selflessness, and thus has always gotten along quite well with the Crissus. On the rare occasion that someone can get her to settle down and do something which is not work, she enjoys listening to old, twenty-first century Korean music, and curling up in her quarters with a good book. She loves to participate in activities with her crew – she believes that the bond between officers and their captain should be one of friendship and loyalty, not fear or obligation. Asking Angelina for help, when you are someone close to her, can be dangerous because she simply can not say no. Perhaps falling into this “can’t say no category”, as well, is her hopeless romantic side. She is a sucker for a good guy, and has had her heart broken more than once.

Likes: Animals, exploring, meeting new people, friendship, honesty, trust, honor, doing the right thing, charity, reading, twenty-first century k-pop, hot chocolate, Korean food, Japanese food, dancing, duty, learning new languages (she speaks four), video games, exercise, walking in the woods, gambling, steaming romance, children, marriage, long relationships, her sister

Dislikes: Black coffee, caramel (it’s too gooey), snakes, being ignored, cruelty, unfairness, having to assert her authority as Captain, yelling, fighting, wool, bright sunlight, being cold

Fears: Being alone, complete darkness, tight spaces, the death of a friend.

Dreams: She wants to get married and have three children.

Quirks: She speaks Sayeelese and Crissan, as well as English and Korean. She sees the good in people, and has the habit of getting her heart broken because of it. When she is nervous or thinking, she twists her hair. She has an odd, sympathetic affection for telepaths. She hates snakes with a passion, which makes relationships with the Ya’hal… difficult.

Equipment

Equipment: A purple ballpoint pen.

Tersius – a friendly, energetic dog she brought with her from her home in Washington, D.C. He has a habit of stealing fruit from peoples’ plates – he especially likes strawberries.

History

Home: Angelina was born in Korea, and grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts. She moved to Washington, D.C. when she was fourteen to begin her training for duty in the Coalition. She remained in Washington, D.C. until she completed officer training at twenty-seven, and was immediately assigned to the station of Captain aboard the Endeavor, as a reward for her incredible performance in the school.

Family: Her parents, Kim Jieun and Jerry Stone, and her identical twin sister, Yuri Stone.

History: Angelina has always been a highly unusual child. She and her twin, Yuri, shared a secret language and a special bond, and for the first ten years of their lives they needed no one but each other. They did not make friends, they hardly even spoke to their parents. They were everything to each other. They made plans to go to school together, enter the Coalition and explore the stars together. They never got the chance. When they were twelve years old, Yuri fell terribly ill. She slipped into a coma. She never woke up. To this day, she lies on a hospital bed in Washington, D.C., caught in a slumber sustained only by medicine, un-waking. The loss devastated Angelina, and for a time she considered taking her own life, but eventually she bounced back. She took to what had once been their shared dream with a vibrant passion, working hard every day to make it happen. When she was fourteen, she gained admission to the Coalition Academy, and never looked back. She trained, at first, to be a ship’s counselor, and graduated with the proper degree. She wanted to climb even higher, however – in the back of her mind, subconsciously, she believed that if she achieved an important position she would be able to speak to the Avona. The aliens were powerful. They could heal her sister. Immediately following her graduation, she entered Officer Academy, abandoning her friends to their lives in space in favor of further education. Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-seven, she took trips into space, learned to act as Captain, even spent a couple of weeks as acting captain on a starship. All of it, in preparation for her graduation. She expected it to take years to finally achieve a captain’s position, thought that she would be assigned as an officer to a starship and have to work her way up through the ranks. She was wrong. The day she graduated she received her assignment as Captain of Endeavor. She was shocked, to say the least, and still does not understand why she was given the assignment. She does not know the way the Avona work, manipulating things from behind the scenes, altering the course of history in their favor.
