Faran Ch'vaneth

Ensign Faran Ch'vaneth is a science officer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
During his childhood, he's heard about the achievements and accomplishments of Starfleet and the Federation. And going through the school system back on Andoria, some of the other kids wanted to set their eyes on entering the Andorian Imperial Guard, as it is an honor to serve in it. Faran, however, wanted to be a part of Starfleet. He naturally felt that he gravitated towards the science of things, specifically astronomy and the study of cosmic phenomena while going through his schooling on Andoria. Though, tragedy struck as one day his brother died due to a brain aneurysm, and the death of his brother affected him enough to cause him to fail his classes and set him back. 
Despite this, about a year and a half later he got himself together and finished schooling, to go on and apply at Starfleet Academy. It was grueling for the first year, as he barely made it to pass his classes, but for the next 3 years, it began to be clearer and easier for Faran in the Academy when he finally was able to let go of the majority of his grief and got his footing. He did very well in his classes, taking an interest in classes like Temporal Mechanics and Stellar Cartography, which boosted his confidence that he made the right choice joining Starfleet. He took more advanced classes, and studied day in and day out until it was the time to see if he was adequate for Starfleet. He passed his test with very good scores, which afterward gave him the option to choose where to be posted, and he chose the Odyssey.
== Appearance ==
Light green eyes, and surprisingly black hair. The majority of Andorians have a shade of white hair, but due to a genetic mutation, Faran had black hair. Easily identifiable blue skin.
== Personality ==
Faran is more of a reserved person, not the kind to voluntarily go out and try to meet new people. He isn't a total recluse, but he likes his alone time a little more than social interaction. It does not impede his work, as he works fine with most people. He is respectful and tries to smooth out problems diplomatically. Would like to avoid confrontation, though on past experience knows it is inevitable sometimes.
== Psych Evaluation ==
He is inexperienced, but he is determined to be able to be a Starfleet officer to the best of his ability, even in the face of danger. The death of his brother has strengthened his resolve, years after he was able to overcome the majority of his grief.
== Medical ==
Seasonal allergies, though that isn't a problem on a starship. Because of his rare genetic mutation, he has poor circulation, which can result in multiple symptoms, such as overheating easily and having trouble cooling down, or having extremities (hands, feet) feeling cold compared to the rest of his body. 
== Other Information ==
* Faran in general tends to speak quieter than most people, but it isn't inaudible. Though usually in cases of extreme emotion (see dislikes) he isn't opposed to speaking loudly.
* Likes: A good mystery holonovel, or in cases of food/drink, something a human he met called "fruit punch".
* Dislikes: Those who can't stop talking, or again in cases of food/drink, caramel. "What in the damned galaxy is this disgusting taste?!"
