8.) What is your basic character concept & history? Tristan Soleil is in truth an El-Aurian that came in with other El-Aurian refugees in 2293 aboard the SS Lakul along with Guinan, Martus Mazur and Soran. Expressing an interest in space travel beyond his own system he joined joined starfleet and was promoted fairly quickly through the ranks due to his skill and nature of being, very cunning and intelligent, Tristan was a good tactical officer candidate but, was an even better Engineer with his innate understanding of how things work. He was tapped to be a Black Ops agent deep undercover to work for Starfleet. He was originally assigned to Deep Space 9 in a Federation Security Advisory role, but was reassigned and promoted the role of First Officer for Captain Michael T. Connor, Captain Connor was believed to be leaking sensitive information regarding Starfleet to Romulan Spies, this was the cover story told by Black ops to Tristan so that he would spy on his friend, when it was clear Captain Connor was being Blacklisted for some unforseen reason, Tristan set about to uncover the real menace leaking information and struck back exposing the perpetrator and saving Captain Connor's career as a decorated officer.

14.) What are your aspirations for this character? Casual RP (I am just here to RP) or Competitive (I want to be an Admiral some day!) Casual/Competitive, little of column A and B
15.) What are strengths, weakness, and flaws in this character’s personality? He puts his crew above all else, even himself. Even when given suicide missions he has a tendency to inform his crew and lets them decide whether they take a lovely vacation shore leave on risa while he heads off to take care of problems or if they go with him, His crew always seems to follow him to the very depths of hell at times. He hates the Borg with a passion, though in an odd twist was assigned a Liberated Borg bridge officer by Starfleet Intelligence, this was never explained to him.
