Joyaus Kemin Dalun
Rank: Captain
Serial Number: 3DE21-21DC1
Species: Joined Trill
Background Information:
Born Joyaus Kemin, Joy is a native to Trill's capital city Leran Manev. One could say that the Federation was in her blood. Her mother's side of the family consisted of Starfleet officers two generations prior, and her father is a senior diplomat.
Joy didn't squander her privileged youth, spending a great deal of time studying, involving herself in politics during late adolescence and early adulthood. Interestingly, and rare among Trill, her parents were both among a political camp known as "Hawks." This, of course, rubbed off on her, leading to her application to the Trill Science Ministry, majoring in study of Defense and Weapons technology. This wasn't enough for her, though. The lessons of the Dominion War were still new, the scars still fresh. Leaving the Ministry, she applied to Starfleet Academy.
Of course, the Academy only strengthened her desire to defend the Federation. The Sciences took a back seat this time, and Joyaus focused on tactics, security, and command operations. After attending advanced security training on Jupiter Station, she was assigned to the U.S.S. Damascus for her Cadet Tour of Duty. Unfortunately, her hopes to be permanently assigned there were dashed when the ship was sent to Drydock for much overdue refit.
After Graduation, she gained the notice of Admiral Quinn, and after the recommendation of the crew of the Damascus and her actions on the ground during the Vega incident, she was assigned directly to Advanced Tactical Training.
With little or no experience, Lt. Kemin was assigned to the U.S.S. Durandal as Chief Tactical Officer. A difficult transition... which was made more difficult by the sudden appearance of a field docent from the Symbiosis Commission. Her application to the commission had finally been answered. In fact, an elderly joined had looked over her profile specifically, and expressed interest. After testing, both medically and with field performance, she returned to Trill for the joining.
The transition was more difficult than most considered. Joyaus was strong willed, but lacked confidence, and Dalun was a particularly strong willed itself for a symbiont. The rocky merging left both with moments of dominance over the other, until finally they came to a balance, birthing a new entity. Joyaus Dalun. After some time adjusting to the joining, Joyaus proved herself a more confident, and complete person, complimented by the experience and knowledge of Dalun and it's previous hosts. She quickly rose to Lieutenant Commander rank and was given the position of executive Officer on the Durandal.
Unfortunately, due to it's aging space-frame, the Durandal was returned to Utopia Planitia for refit.
((More Later. but I feel it's presentable for now... I hope.))
Education:
Joy is a classically trained trill, and before joining Starfleet Academy, majoring in tactics and security, she spent time in the Trill Science Minister studying defense technology.
More to be added later.

Commendations
Notes:
TBA
Psychological Evaluation:
Joyaus herself has always been a little unsure of herself, but joining with Dalun was taxing at first. Strong willed, but unwilling to use that will, the psychological part of the joining was rocky. However, this has solidified and they've become a mentally stable, confident single entity. However, Dalun tends to impart a few strange mental and physical tics to it's hosts, and Joyaus was not spared either. These include random nonsense humming, and occasional scratching of the temples. Idle hands that tend to wander without her notice.
Physical Evaluation:
Joyaus is in good physical condition, strong, quick, and other than a nasty hive outbreak from a recent insect bite, Healthy. The Dalun symbiont, while rather old, is in good, healthy condition as well, and the two are superbly synchronized.

(( Apologies for the sparse application. As of writing this, I'm at lunch break at work. I just wanted to get this in and out of the way so I can finish up with more flavor when I get home. Notes, however. "Joy" is at max-level of RA5, but I stuck with Captain rank IC. Felt better. She's a fun character, and more than a bit quirky due to the age of her symbiont. She's a tact officer, specced to use an Advanced Escort, and specifically built for short range and melee on the ground. As I said, however, still a WIP. I ran out of time and need to go back on shift.))
EDIT 2:(( Added a bit more. Still working on it. Should be able to finish up after shift tonight.))
EDIT 3: (( seems I forgot my global. it's Captain Joyaus Dalun ))
