Maggie Roode

Ensign Maggie Roode is a tactical officer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Born on board the USS Wolverine to Tina and Leon Roode. The CTO (Tina) and CSO (Leon) She had many friends in the classroom on board the ship, being seen as something of a social butterfly. Always sharing toys and trying to have fun. Oddly enough, no one ever wanted to come over to her quarters. She would always go to other’s quarters rather then them coming over. And the parents of those other children would always give her mother dirty looks. Then… tragedy struck when the Wolverine was caught in a wormhole’s path. The larger ship wouldn’t be able to get away so the captain ordered an evacuation. Maggie got onto one of the shuttles with a few other children and their parents. Escaping the wormhole with all the other shuttles. However when they made it back to the nearest space station. Her parents didn’t make it, they had been taking too long. Trying to recover data from the ships computer, when the wormhole had fired off a bolt of energy at the ship. Causing an explosion that killed 15 officers on deck 6. Maggie stayed on the station for a week, unable to come out of the quarters that they had given her while they waited for someone to pick her up. Soon enough, her aunt Dorothea came to pick her up. Dorothea worked in Starfleet HQ. So, Maggie went back to Earth. Living in Toronto for the foreseeable future. For the next few years of her life she grew up idolizing her mother and father, although Dorothea never told her many stories. 
Maggie decided to go to the Academy to live up to her parents' example. It was her dream to carry on the family name and make sure people remembered what her mother and father did! Of course not many people seemed to want to talk to her about her parents, but that’s fine! People probably weren’t over it yet! That’s what Maggie told herself anyway. So she decided to go to the Academy to be a tactical officer like her mother! 
Her academy years were quite fun! Spending lots of time hanging out with friends while still working hard. After the normal amount of years spent in the academy she very quickly was assigned to the USS Nightcrawler, a science ship looking over wormholes and black holes. She had many friends on the ship in her time on the ship! Even making friends with its captain, a human named Marcus Lowry. Then of course there was an accident that tore the ship apart. 
The ship was checking out a wormhole when a merchant ship was caught deep into the pull of the hole. The captain ordered the ship to save those people, so they did. Tractoring in the ship to pull it out. The Starfleet ship was then pulled into the hole and was going to be destroyed. Maggie was moving to get their phasers running, only for a peice of the ship flying at her. Cutting her arm off, to which she quickly fell into unconsciousness. 
About two hours later she woke up on a medical station that had been near the wormhole. The USS Nightcrawler was pulled in. The first officer and captain both died, but most of the crew got killed. And now Maggie had a new arm, a sliver metallic arm. It would take getting used to, but over time she would. 
Over the next few years she was spending time on the USS Toronto, a Akira class ship that was near the Klingon border. It was a very quiet posting. Not much happening to mention. Beyond that she got the image of an Akira flying past Toronto on her robot arm. 
Soon enough however. Maggie got big news. She would transferring to the USS Odyssey. A ship she was very excited to be joining! After saying goodbye to everyone on the Toronto she set out to go to the ship! And she can’t wait to join! 
== Appearance ==
Standing in at 6’5” Maggie is an especially tall woman, and could be described as very athletic. She works out a lot leading to a rather muscular frame and body. Additionally her hair is a unique shade of silver. She has a small tattoo on her lower back depicting a dragon. As well as that, she has a robotic left arm from an incident during her tenure before the odyssey. It has a decal on the shoulder depicting a Akira class ship flying past the CN Tower of her native Toronto. 
== Personality ==
Maggie is a generally very cheery person, which hides a hidden amount of trauma from her youth. She could be described as a social butterfly, having many friends all over the fleet. She can occasionally be flirty but will immediately back off should someone be uncomfortable. She enjoys spending time with people she knows and playing various sports. She’s just a very upbeat gal. 
== Psych Evaluation ==
Maggie’s psychological evaluation is quite simple. Her parents dying on the USS Wolverine, and the destruction of the USS Nightcrawler have left her scarred. Alongside that she has a fear of wormholes, not one where she will have to be taking a sick day but one where she is on edge. She manages to keep up with being a genuinely cheery person who tries to be a positive impact on those around her, but she can occasionally dip into self-loathing and sad spells. When things get especially bad she can dip into having a few too many drinks. However she is able to climb out of these holes after a short while, even if she digs some for herself. 
== Medical ==
As described in appearance she has a robotic left arm that functions relatively similar to a regular arm! The arm is modulated to have the same amount of strength as her other human arm to ensure balance. 
== Other Information ==
* She identifies as bisexual. And would be described as a chaotic bisexual at that. 
* Likes: Writing, swimming, tinkering with weapons, meeting and interacting with people, dogs, basketball, football (soccer). 
* Dislikes: Olives, scary fiction, arguments among coworkers, cats, needless fighting.
