## Summary

Elias Avalon is a weapons officer of Starfleet, his work consisting of making sure a ship or station’s weapon systems and military equipment of all kinds are up and running. He does his job quickly and effectively, taking it with a seriousness that has allowed him to gain quite the experience in his domain and rise through the ranks thanks to it, although his quest for betterment in his field is far from over.

Born on Earth, Elias has a variety of interests, from literary and intellectual ones, to the more physical of kinds. His personality is that of a friendly and kind man, always looking to socialise with others in his free time. Quite the charmer, he has gained a slight reputation for compliments and nice words, though when he does so, they tend come from his heart and feelings rather than an opportunistic mind.

## History

Born and raised in the Middle Eastern City of Beirut on Earth, Elias Ray Avalon had the luck of growing in a comfortable environment. His parents were both humans of European and Middle Eastern origins, allowing him to develop an interest toward both cultures as well as be influenced by them. They were kind and caring toward him, a quality he learned to reflect onto other's, making him appreciated by all around him and most who met him.

A good student, avid for knowledge and with a passion for military matters, his dream of working in Starfleet was already set on from childhood. The origin of that interest is varied and not exactly clear, perhaps stumbling on the subject by pure coincidence, or having peaked his curiosity thanks to the tales of his Grandfather, an officer in Starfleet. After graduating High School, Elias travelled to train in the Starfleet training facilities of San Jose. Preferring the study and maintenance of equipment over the burden of command on a captain’s bridge, the young man trained and specialised into becoming a weapons officer.

## Service Record

#### 2374 - 2379

Once he had completed his training back on Earth, Elias was sent for further specialisation to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars. There, Elias made his first years into active service, being under the mentorship of skilled fellow officers and benefiting from their valuable lessons. He would remain there for years, rising through the ranks thanks to dedication and hard work. One of his involvements was in the development of improved maintenance and security procedures for handling starship armement and munitions of all kinds. Many friendships, relations and connections were formed during that time.

#### 2379 - 10/2379

While having gotten used to life on Mars, Elias grew to wish for a more adventurous life, one only work on a starship could provide. This would lead the weapons officer to request a transfer, fate having decided that it would be the U.S.S. Lammergeier. A new page full of surprises had thus begun...

## Appearance

Elias is a rather tall man with dark, often well brushed hair, brown eyes and white skin. His features are rather mixed due to his parent’s different origins. His body is fit and muscular, product of his hard work in the arsenal and the gym, both involving and requiring a certain amount of physical strength. Some may consider him handsome and he does try to keep this image by maintaining his looks.

While his natural looks are complimented by his charming personality, his clothing choices are more regular, often staying in his clean and well taken care of work uniform, be it at work or during leisure. During the latter, he can also be seen wearing equally elegant clothes, usually nice looking shirts and pants, complimented with polished looking shoes.

## Motivation

Elias motivations are simple: Adventure and meeting new people. He wishes to relive the thrill of the first interstellar voyagers and contribute to something much greater than him, to events and discoveries than may forever change the Federation and perhaps even the Universe. This, combined with the potential friendships and relationships that may be formed with a variety of people, all my unique stories, may also satisfy his quest for knowledge and expertise, as well as the other more natural and social needs of a human being.
