Olivia Brown

Ensign Olivia Brown is an engineer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Born in the United Kingdom on Earth, on May 17th, 2392, Olivia has always had an innate interest in intechnology. Throughout her youth, she built and fixed many of the different machines her parents used to keep their farm maintained. She would build turbines, and generators to try and keep them powered. She built a makeshift phaser, although it didn’t really do much if you got shot by it. She also tried her hand at computers, creating many failed projects. Her work was not in vain, and she eventually developed the wrist-mounted datapad(Basically an apple watch with a larger screen) that she wears on her wrist. She attempted to repair some of the farm equipment her family used. Usually she did well, but she wasn’t perfect. When she was 14, one of the combines her family used short circuited, exploding and covering much of Olivia’s lower left half in 3rd degree burns. She recovered, however, and wasn’t discouraged by this experience. 
Olivia made a few friends throughout her school experience, but wasn’t overly popular or even really invited to many social events or parties. This didn’t bother her too much, as she was fine with just her friends and machines. Although many utilize the new, fancy tools and such, Olivia would often settle with older wrenches and screwdrivers, often diving straight into the wiring and mechanical bits to tinker with something when hacking it wouldn’t work. Once she finished with her schooling, her parents urged her to continue with her interest by joining Starfleet. 
At age 18 Olivia joined Starfleet academy as an Engineer, passing her classes with flying colors. During this time, she made quite a bit more friends than she had during her normal schooling, and was decently liked among most. She spent most nights at the academy studying, whether by herself or with a classmate, and could also be seen asking her teachers more about engineering. Sometimes she would also attend the planned social events when invited, but wasn’t too much of a partier. She participated in a cadet cruise during her junior year, doing whatever she could to make a good impression, and returned to starfleet academy roughly 4 months later once it concluded to finish her senior year. Upon graduating, she was offered an assignment on Earth Spacedock as one of it’s many engineers, where she did a bit of everything. After a year on the Spacedock, she grew bored and decided to broaden her horizons by getting reassigned to a starship, hopefully travelling among the stars and seeing the galaxy. A week later her request was approved and she was moved, funnily enough, to the same ship she’d been helping to refit: the Odyssey.
== Appearance ==
Medium-length red hair, often worn in a bun; Mesomorph body type; athletic build; burn scars covering her left side from the hip down; 5’5”, 127.3 lbs
== Personality ==
Olivia is a team player, and will often lend a hand if someone needs it. Although not a bad trait, it can lead her to being overextended at times. She’s quick to smile, and to occasionally crack a joke. That being said, she’ll often undergo periods where she shows anti-social tendencies, receding into a shell of sorts. She’s adventurous, and enjoys working with machines whether it’s on a ship or in the field. She’ll follow most orders, aside from those that would harm herself, her crewmates, or others. She’ll treat everyone she meets with respect and kindness unless they give her a reason not to, regardless of rank, species, or position. She is a fan of older technology, listening to older music, wearing her grandfather's toolbelt, and carrying a swiss army knife(multitool) with her most of the time. She’s a bit lax on rules, and can often be seen with her sleeves up and collar loosened while working on something. She is also curious by nature, and enjoys learning about new things.
== Psych Evaluation ==
She has difficulties turning down requests: If someone asks for help, Olivia will most likely volunteer even if she’s swamped with work herself. Since the ship was pulled into the past, she’s also had periods where she’ll sort of shrink into herself: She’s still able to perform her duties, but seems to be caught up in her own world; not eating much and not talking to others unless it involves a job-related task.
== Medical ==
Physically, she’s quite healthy. No allergies, conditions, or augmentations worth noting.
