Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Vespertine is generally friendly and personable, and unshakably loyal to the Federation. She was somewhat aimless as a youth, searching for a purpose in life, and only finding real fulfillment in confronting challenges and taking on difficult tasks. She can be a workaholic, and is poor at delegating responsibility, which has led to her being deemed unsuitable for command roles. Her tendency to overwork and propensity to take unusual trains of thought suggests attention-deficit disorder, likely comorbid with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Vespertine is somewhat obsessed with not using her pheromones on others and has bad memories of her pheromones causing problems in her life and her hypersexuality disorder. On duty, she is professional and collected, and takes hormone suppressants religiously to counter the production of Orion pheromones by her body; off-duty, she is leery of romantic entanglements due to a dislike of being associated with negative stereotypes of Orion women and worry over the consent issues associated with Orion pheromones, and preferers to enjoy herself by exercising, practicing archery, or playing deliberately cheesy holoprograms simulating pre-warp television serials. Playing Earth Fantasy holoprograms. She speaks, Federation Standard English, Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite, Romulan, Klingon, and Ferengi. Passing knowledge of Denobulan, Cardassian, Bajoran, and Breen. so that she could better analyze messages in foreign languages without relying on a universal translator's sometimes-clunky approach to idioms. | |

| Personal History | Vespertine D’hetr was born to T’Konyc of house D’hetr, a Vulcan Diplomat, and Villassuuss Thenis, a linguist working for the Vulcan government’s Diplomatic corps. She grew up on Vulcan, in the city of Ta'vistar in the Tat'sahr province. She was raised in a mixed fashion, educated in the Vulcan fashion, but allowed to experience the emotions of her Orion side. In fact, her parents went so far as to find a follower (monk) of Tu-Jarok (The way of Jarok) and a monk of Hakihr to help her gain discipline of her emotions, while still allowing her to experience them; and mind-body unification in hope of preventing hormonal surges or other limbic reactions that might involuntarily trigger an emotional response. She was frequently teased by the other Vulcan children but found acceptance with the children of the diplomats from other worlds. She proved to be exceptionally intelligent, with a mind that grasped mathematical and linguistic concepts quite readily. At ten years of age her father, T’Konyc, insisted she participate in the Vulcan ritual of Kahs-wan. She barely survived the ordeal but came out stronger because of it. Four years later she completed her Secondary Education on Vulcan and applied to the Vulcan Science Academy and was accepted. She spent the next eight years in intensive study of both chemical engineering and applied chemistry, as well as mechanical engineering and applied mechanics. Still feeling aimless and without direction Vespertine went and studied further with adepts of Hakihr. Again, the wanderlust bug hit her, and she journeyed to Xen’tal and requested to attend the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts. Here she honed and polished her hand-to-hand combat and archaic and melee weapons training, becoming a certified master. She grew bored and decided, to the dismay of her family, to enlist in the Starfleet Marine Corps. She was shipped to the SFMC Recruit Depot in San Diego, California (Earth) for initial recruit training. She then shipped out to SFMC Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida for basic explosive ordnance disposal training. She showed such exceptional talent in both basic marine training and her in her military occupational specialty school, earning the SFMC Achievement Medal, she was recommended for SFMC Ranger School, which she accepted. After completing her training, she was assigned to the 501st Marine Strike Group, where they were engaged in anti-pirate interdiction. She was then assigned to the 832nd Marine Strike Group, whose mission was the eradication of the Orion Syndicate. Two years into the mission she was injured in an explosion and had to be medevacked. While in recuperative care on Earth she attended both Star Fleet Secuity and SFMC Armorer schools, and then was recommended to the Advanced Joint Armorer School. After Healing from her wounds and completing the Armorer schools, she was assigned to the 7th Marine Strike Group. She was assigned as the units Armorer and quickly grew bored of the assignment. Upon seeing a recruiting advertisement for the SFMC Force Recon, she applied and was accepted, she again shipped back to Earth to begin the grueling training to become a Force Recon Marine. After completion of the SFMC Force Recon school Vespertine was assigned to the 911th Marine Stike Group, just as relations between the Dominion and the Federation heated up to full out war. She participated in several battles and raids until the Dominion Raid on Coridan, where she was again injured and required evacuation. She recuperated and was assigned to 724th SFMC Marine Strike Group where she was again wounded in combat by a Jem'Hadar Kar'takin in the bloody hand to hand combat on AR-558. She was one of the lucky few to be evacuated. She recuperated from this wound and was assigned to the 86th Marine Strike Group, just in time to participate in the Kalandra Campaign all the way up to the final Battle of Cardassia. After the Dominion war ended, she was sent to SFMC SNCO Career School. She then found herself assigned to the 791st Marine Strike Group. After a six-year tour she was sent to SFMC SNCOA Advanced School. She then was assigned to the 555th Marine Strike Group. She was then sent to Senior Enlisted Professional Military Education School. Promoted to Master Sergeant upon completion of SFMC SEPME School, she stayed on Earth and was an Instructor at the SFMC Force Recon School. After a two-year tour she was sent to two more schools: SFMC 1st Sergeants school, then to the Starfleet Joint Senior Enlisted Professional Military Education School. After completion of these schools, she received her orders to be First Sergeant of a marine complement on the USS Tokyo. | |
