Section 03 – IC Character’s Personnel Recorded:
((The following is a draft of Lisse's biography. Id really appreciate any feedback, positive or negative, before I start to rp her))
Early Childhood
Born on Earth to Claire and James Cross, Lisse was had a normal childhood, living in a small city with her parents and younger sister. She learned to walk and talk earlier then most children, so her parents knew she had great potential. She attended normal school up until she was 9, at which point her parents enrolled her in a school for intellectually gifted young people. She was a halfway decent student, able to keep up with the advanced subjects they taught. It was apparent to everyone that she wasn't trying her best. She much preferred playing on the playground to class. She had always dreamed of being a star ship captain to explore the universe and go on exciting and dangerous missions, and would often play Star ship with her friends and sister, going on adventures in the park. Her general disinterest in school grew, and her grades started slipping.
Death of a loved one
At the age of 11, her father was having spells of dizziness and nausea, and went into the doctors officer. The doctor was getting very strange readings from his cardiovascular system, and upon further inspection and cross reference, James was diagnosed with being in the advanced stages of a devastating and fast acting genetic disorder. This disorder was impossible to detect until it symptoms began, and could have potentially lain dormant inside a person for many years, and surface seemingly at random. They had thought this disease to have been dormant for many generations, and that its recent surfacing was most likely due to a mutation. There was no known cure at the time, and he was said to have less then a week left. Over the next three days, Lisse's mother had Lisse home from school, and the two of them spent a great deal of time together with James in the hospital, cherishing the time they had left. He only experienced the dizziness and nausea moderately, until the fourth day. On this day, James' entire cardiovascular system started shutting down rapidly. Surrounded by family and friends, including Lisse and her sister, he tried to keep up a strong front. In his last few moments, he looked to his beloved daughters, who were at his side crying softly, and he told them "I will always be with you both. Never give up...". These would be his last words, as his disease entered the final stages. James was in extreme pain, and Lisse was quickly ushered out of the room by her mother. The doctors swarmed in, trying in a final attempt to save him. They were unsuccessful, and he died after a painful four minutes.
Everything changes
James' death had a profound effect on Lisse, causing her to start working hard at school, quickly rising from her low grades, soaring to the top of her class. She become more interested in science and technology, and less interested in playing or socializing. She eventually decided to take up a medical path in her learning so that she could learn to help other people. Soon she forgot all about her life long dream of becoming a Star ship captain. She graduated from the school with the highest honors, and soon after applied to Starfleet at the age of 16. She passed the Starfleet Academy entrance competition exams with good scores all around. She was a good student and worked extremely hard on everything she did. She was very lonely, having only a few friends. She graduated the Starfleet Academy with honors at the age of 22, specializing in the areas of Science and Medicine, with special focus on Neuroscience and Software Engineering.
Lisse's Career
Ensign Lisse went on to work in the Starfleet Medical Neuroscience labs for research on the human brain. Lisse was a natural, and was a driving force behind a few important discoveries and breakthroughs in the field early on in her career. By the age of 26, she had risen through the ranks to a Lieutenant. At the age of 27, Lisse began working with a team, as their leader, on software and hardware to reproduce flawlessly a persons mind inside a computer system, so that surgery on the brain could be done, and then the mind could be returned at a later point. After the software and hardware for transferring the mind to the computer were theoretically complete and working with the available brain pattern data, they moved on to developing the technology for putting it back. They discovered an inherent flaw in the mind copying system that could potentially completely destabilize the original mind of anyone its used on. In order for a perfect one to one capture of the mind, the brain had to be put in a special silent and dormant state through certain medical devices and administered drugs. However, when awakening from this state, the mind could theoretically destroy it self in confusion. For months they tried to work around the various problems, and found in the tests and also in theory, that without completely starting from scratch on the software and hardware, it was impossible for the copying process to work successfully and not destroy the original mind. While they were able to theorize and develop a way perfectly to awaken and activate a mind inside the computer, they had a hard time with the development of the procedure and technology for transferring the mind back into the original body. After four months, they were unable to return the mind in simulations successfully. Unable ethically to test either the copy process or the return process on a live person, they planned on abandoning the project and started to look into other projects.
A life changing decision
Just before they would have officially pulled the plug on the project, Lisse started having dizziness and nausea, and was discovered to have the advanced stages of the same deadly genetic disorder that took her father's life. She had been having a routine suppressing treatment that was supposed to keep it dormant, but for whatever reason, the disease had surfaced in full force. Lisse, like her father, was faced with no known cure, and a prediction of less than a week before she would die. Work was already underway for a cure, using the data from her father, but it would be many years before anyone would be able to use it in the advanced stage of the disease. Lisse cried for about an hour when she found out, but then she stopped. She started telling herself, "Never give up", like her father told her, many years ago. Then she realized what she needed to do: she had to take a risk and use the mind transfer process to preserve her mind, until a cure was finished. She knew that the copying process worked in theory and simulations, but was fully aware that there was currently no way for her to return to her body without additional development. She put her faith in it, knowing that it was her only chance to survive. She convinced the higher-ups into allowing her to go ahead with the procedure on herself. Her team helped her go through with it. The copying was a success, and she was downloaded into the software flawlessly as an exact copy of her mind and memories, everything that made her Lisse. However, as predicted, the mind was destroyed. The first thing she saw as she materialized as her temporary holographic projection self, was her body losing control of itself from the destruction of her original mind. As she watched in horror as they held down and sedate her former body, she realized how precious her second chance at life was. She watched as they froze her body in cryostasis, pending a cure. The higher-ups wanted her to undergo testing and observation to see the results of the transference before she returned to her normal life. She submitted to this, with the condition that she didn't want anyone to be allowed to tamper with, reverse engineer, or make unauthorized copies of her mind and consciousness data. She didn't want another her popping up somewhere or being experimented on. The higher-ups agreed to this condition.
A fire reignited
For the next month they studied her behavior and interactions and various other data, in a controlled environment at first, and later she was allowed to go to the holodeck and other areas equipped with emitters within the facility. To keep herself occupied, she would read books, and use the holodeck. They eventually came to the conclusion that the mind transfer was 100% successful, and decided to allow her to return to her life. With the study behind her, she decided to use her lucky second chance at life to explore and defend the universe as a Starfleet officer, as she had dreamed as a child, and decided to enroll in Command School.
One more thing...
Before she could go, however, she had one hurdle to over come. She needed a body. Fortunately, Lisse was very close friends with a respected and influential cybernetics expert. Lisse mentioned the problem to her friend, and her friend immediately had a solution. She offered that Lisse might be able to adapt her software to the positronic computer systems of one of their failed android prototypes. For about two weeks, Lisse worked tirelessly on adding the necessary subroutines to her software in order to enable her to live inside the prototype. She finished creating and testing the interface subroutines, and, as a finishing touch, they had the prototype altered to look more like Lisse's original self. With her new body, she started to pursue her dreams of command, and attended Command School.
