Chance Vanek

Ensign Chance Vanek is an operations officer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Born in San Francisco to Garret and Hillary Vanek. Chance's parents were medical field technicians stationed at the academy grounds. They had always expected to see Chance in Starfleet Medical but that was short lived. When in academy Chance first took Survival Tactics and found himself sick at the sight of blood when one of his fellow classmates severely cut themselves. It was in school that he switched out of the predestined medical field and settled learning Operations. Switching departments in his second year  did not set him back from graduating, though because of the make-up work he pushed a lot of his classmates out his first two years. Though as recluse as he became he spent his free time rock climbing, cycling and swimming. 
It wasn't until after graduating and his first brief post aboard the USS Calypso where Chance spent just shy of 2 years before transferring to the Odyssey. The transfer was the resolution that Starfleet recommended and was not done by Chance due to a claim of sexual harassment of a crewman aboard. It eventually was all chalked up to a misunderstanding but it was felt that Chase being transferred would make it easier on the other person. So with a gray smudge now on his record he joins the Odyssey crew and its endeavors in the Delta Quadrant. 
== Appearance ==
Always has a 5 o'clock shadow, lean muscular build and a stare that seems to pierce through people's exterior. Most of his body under his uniform is covered in coarse black ringlets of hair. 
== Personality ==
Chance does not take lightly to stupid people. He comes off as cocky and quick witted but behind that prickly exterior is a soft loveable teddy bear. 
== Psych Evaluation ==
Chance can cause conflict where there is not one by his cocky attitude. He shows the signs of a short temper but often bottles it up and stores it. Chance has been categorized as possibly having Narcissistic personality traits. 
== Medical ==
Chance is allergic to cat dander, dandelion, and wool. 
== Other Information ==
* Likes: Chance prefers men over women for authority but has learned to accept a woman being above him. He relishes in sexual innuendo and being admired for his achievements.
