## PERSONAL LIFE

Born on February 1st, 2388 on an island on Earth known as Puerto Rico, but raised within the continental United States, Xavier Noloc has had a passion for leadership and service since his childhood. Noloc's two brothers are older than him by 12 and 14 years, respectively, meaning that he was practically raised as a single child by his loving mother. Noloc's father, however, was distant, always off-planet due to work, leading to Xavier developing strong ties with parental figures in his life, often thinking of mentors as surrogate parents. Xavier was also an extremely avid reader as a child, a habit that he has continued to nurture into his late 20's. The pride of his personal library is a signed copy of *The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway.*

When Noloc turned 18, he initially applied to the officer training program at Starfleet Academy. The process went well, and Noloc demonstrated a natural talent for leadership and strategic thinking in his entrance exam. However, as part of the background check process, Starfleet recruiters interviewed all of Noloc's past instructors at the local academy where he grew up. One of these instructors gave a scathing condemnation of Noloc's "Poor temper and poorer work ethic". And while many other instructors gave glowing reviews of Xavier's performance as both a student and a leader, others allayed similar criticisms against the young man, pointing to his frequent complaints against instructors as evidence that while Noloc *may* have a natural talent for leadership, he is too inflexible, proud, and far too willing to speak his mind and make his opinion clear, even when inappropriate, to be an effective officer. It was clear to Starfleet recruiters that, above all else, Noloc was a controversial student, either adored or hated by those who taught him. Due to this, Xavier's application to the officer training program was denied. This snubbing was undoubtedly an enormous blow to Noloc's fragile young ego. But despite the fresh sting of failure, Noloc applied to Starfleet again, this time in a medical role. Eventually, Noloc was accepted, and graduated from Starfleet academy, not as a command officer, but as a ship's counselor. During his time at the academy, Xavier was able to catch the attention and eventual friendship of a prominent vice admiral. That vice admiral was able to ensure that Noloc had his request of being deployed somewhere where he could do the most good accepted. Thus, his first deployment was onto a ship that is part of Joint Taskforce Bellerophon: the U.S.S. Brazzaville, a Nebula class cruiser under the command of Captain Thy'rek Kaan. Due to being placed on a starship so quickly after graduation, Xavier is technically one of the youngest ship's counselors in all of Starfleet.

Although Xavier's role as ship's counselor has allowed his empathy and kindness to shine through, he still hungers for a chance to prove himself as the capable leader he know he can be. Unlike most, however, Noloc doesn't crave the chair of a captain, but rather the desk of an admiral. Xavier feels that his strategic vision alongside his excellent people skills and political acumen would make him a talented admiral. For now, however, these aspirations of admiralty are merely fantasies.

In terms of his personality, Xavier is warm, empathetic, and kind at first meeting. To those less accustomed to an intense sense of politeness, Xavier's eagerness to please at first meeting may come off as *practiced* or fake. However, Xavier is a firm believer (and practitioner!) of the old maxim that a drop of honey attracts far more flies than a gallon of vinegar. Those close to Xavier, however, will be allowed a more intimate view of the dignified and polite counselor: Xavier's incredible stubbornness, his innate (and indefatigable) sense of right and wrong, and his long bouts of introspective brooding.
