Name for the new Commander of Avalon

[Ruth Sigurdsdottir]

Our 2nd mission of Season 4 will see us back (briefly) at Innominatum Avalon where we'll have a renaming ceremony (a few posts at most) and deposit the new Commander there, say our goodbyes to those staying on the post (Maggie, Taray), have Taray's baby and attend Maggie's wedding to Dr. Al-Hambra (these can be played out as a holodeck thread if anyone is interested).

But we have a small problem.  We don't have a name, rank, or species, or gender for the Commander, and since it can be anything... I'm opening it to you for suggestions.

We have until 2 days before the end of the March mission to decide this as I intend that s/he be given a lift back on the Challenger from GHQ.

Throw your ideas this way.  Face Claims would be useful (or least a description of 'He looks like Sean Connery when he was playing James Bond' or 'Maggie Smith - as McGonagall' )

I like this idea and is a lovely tribute to the late 'Spartacus'.  Any other ideas folks or do people like this one??

P.S. I fixed the link for you, it was being squiffy whatever I did to it too so uploaded it to imgur so it's there to us if we go with him!

Character Details

Character Name: Commander Bertran tch'Jones-Kitrar
Character Age: 42
Character DOB: 2356
Character Image:
Character Species:  Hybrid (Human/Andorian)
Gender: male   (both thaan and chen)
Character Family:
Father:  Human  Alfred Stephan Jones  (former Earth's Ambassador to Andoria)
Mother:  Andorian  Zeriat sh'Kitrar  (former Andorian Imperial Guard)
Mother:  Andorian  Thessia ch'Irannoss  (doctor)

Character Bio:

Bertran is the product of Andorian genetic engineering.  Human DNA was altered just enough to be able to fully fertilize with both the then and chan components, an Andorian egg.

Alfred never imagined when he left Earth for the stars that he would be one of those daring few that would find interspecies romance so appealing.  He fell in love with Zeriat sh'Kitrar, an Andorian Imperial Guard assigned to watch him.  Even less anticipated was that she would return those feelings.

Yet their love at first was deemed forbidden since it could produce no offspring.  If that's what it would take to be able to be with Zeriat, Alfred spared no expense in having the best minds on Earth come up with ways that HE could be a part of Zeriat's bondgroup.

2 years later, Bertran was born.

Bertan was doted on by his biological mother and father, as well as by his birthing mother. He was often teased for having only one father but Alfred would explain to him that they only did so because they were jealous that they would need to bondgroup in the future to have children, while he would not – he carried both the thaan and chen DNA needed to propagate another generation.  It was possible that he was the salvation of his people.

Bertran was raised on Andor for the first 10 years of his life, then his father's term as Ambassador was over and he was reassigned to Earth.  Zeriat believed it would be a good experience for the boy to be exposed to other species and cultures so it was that the family moved to Earth.  There Bertran discovered his uniqueness on Andor was not so unique on Earth.  Hybrids abounded, especially in Starfleet.

When he turned 18, his mother's people's law required that he take part in the Andorian Military – he served there for 4 years.  At which time, most of his fellow Andorians were being invited to Sheltheths to form bondgroups to carry forward their species as they remained fertile only a short period of time.   Yet the doctors that studied him said would likely remain fertile into his 40's or 50's, so didn't feel the same biological NEED to have an offspring quite yet.  He didn't want to have a child outside of love so has never joined a bond group.  He's waiting for the right woman.. women?

After he finished serving his time with the Andorian Military, Betran turned his attention to his real goal -   joining Starfleet to eventually gain a command.  He started his career in Security, as his time in the Andorian Imperial Guard guaranteed him success.  From there he transferred to Flight and then to Ops to gain more experience.  Over the course of 20 years he's risen through the ranks to Lt Commander and is ready to begin his first command.  He'd been hoping for a ship... but a station would do.

Ooooh I think we might have to go to vote for this!!  I'm liking all of them!

I'll leave this open until Sunday, then put up a poll, and run that for a week.
