Wesley Draie

Lt. JG Wesley Draie is a helmsman aboard the USS Odyssey.
== Early Life ==
Wesley was born on a Starship, but raised on Earth. His parents are both currently Starfleet officers in active service. His father is Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Thomas Draie, a half Human and half Betazoid, and his mother is Rear Admiral (Upper Half) Lwurrela Agrak, a Betazoid. Wesley was given a Human name instead of a Betazoid one. Life on Earth was fairly normal for Wesley. He was very outgoing as a child and was always open to anything new and exciting. He was always off on some adventure with his childhood friends instead of playing on holodecks like the other children. As he got older, he found an interest in older shuttlecraft, especially the class F shuttle from the mid 23rd century. He most likely got the trait from his mother who was a fighter pilot during the Dominion War. He then started to fly the older issue of shuttlecraft on the holodeck, usually wearing an older uniform to fit the part. After a couple of years, Wesley has decided to go to Starfleet Academy to become a fighter pilot in Starfleet. He entered the academy and quickly excelled in his classes. 
== Starfleet Career ==
Wesley was excelling quickly in his classes. He had taken several courses for flight training and even had taken some courses that would give him extensive engineering knowledge as. He has also completed the required Hand to Hand Combat training, but did not do so well in it, only scoring a B-. After two years at the academy was given a commission to join the Starfleet Fighter Corps. He was given a fighter of his own and got a hold of the controls quickly. But, one day Wesley has been doing a quick fly through of the rings of a Class-T gas giant. He had seen this flash of yellow, not knowing what it was he had checked his sensors. While reading the sensor data, he has not realized that this was in fact a shockwave from one of the small asteroids in the ring belt. Before he could even look back up, his fighter shuttle had been knocked back by the shockwave into space. He did not have his seatbelt on at the time, so he was thrown around the cabin and hit his head and had scraped the side of his left cheek, leaving a scar. A couple hours later he had awakened, he had been transported on a starship that was passing by several lightyears away that had detected the explosion and the shockwave. After this incident he had decided to quit being a fighter pilot and to become a normal flight officer on a Starfleet ship. He had been commissioned to the U.S.S. Hyperion as an Ensign Acting Flight Officer. After a year on board the Hyperion, he was able to show his skill to the captain who decided that he was ready to move onto another starship. Wesley was on another starship for about two years. While on board he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant Junior Grade for being able to take over when the Chief Flight Officer had been incapacited during a battle and to maneuver the ship through a mutara class nebula away from enemy ships and exiting the nebula, going to maximum warp without the enemy ships even knowing. After this it was decided that he was ready to take on a more difficult role, of being the Acting Chief Flight Officer on board another vessel. He had grown attached to this new ship and crew, but decided that it was eventually time for him to move on. He went back to the academy and continued to study to become a Chief Flight Officer. He worked even harder than before at the academy and was able to jump ahead of others. His teachers at the academy and a group of admirals, believed that he was ready to become a Chief Flight Officer, but would have to continue studying, because he was so young. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Odyssey as their Chief Flight Officer where he is currently on his way to join the ship.
== Appearance ==
Wesley is pretty tall, standing at 6’ 4” and weighing at around 83 kilograms (185 Pounds). His build is an ectomorph-mesomorph, having some pretty broad shoulders as well as a muscular build that is yet thin. His hair is a light brown, almost blonde colour. His eyes are black as midnight, being a Betazoid.
== Personality ==
Being raised by Starfleet Flag officers, Wesley has a great respect towards his superiors, but is not afraid to chat with and get to know them. Though Wesley is known for being a person who at times will ignore the book, being raised by Starfleet Flag Officers, that was a way for him to rebel. Despite being a Betazoid, who are usually more shy and reserved, he is a fairly outgoing guy who loves to chat with his fellow officers and get to know the people that he works with. Wesley is one of those people who it will take a lot to ruffle his feathers, being a Betazoid adds to this. One of his greatest flaws though, is his compassion for others. Being a Betazoid, he is able to connect with other people emotionally, even if he doesn’t know them. He cannot help feeling bad for others. At times this will cause him to make irrational decisions or not tell the truth because he does not want to hurt others feelings.
== Psych Evaluation ==
Wesley most of the time is very relaxed, but when it is needed he will be able to focus well on what is required of him in the current situation.
