Bakugo Katsuki

Bakugo Katsuki is a 4th Year cadet currently serving in extracurricular activities aboard the U.S.S. Odysseus.

To get a position on active exploration vessel is near impossible and the competition vicious, the fact that he has made it here means he is one of the best the Academy has to offer.

## Appearance

Katsuki is a young man of average height, with a slim, muscular build and fair skin tone, with a light dusting of freckles over his body. He has taken more of his Bajoran Mother’s features, however his ears and tail he got from his Caitian Father. He has short, spiky ash-blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright red in colour.

Even though he stands at only 5’9” he has a powerful presence, his demeanour usually being one of arrogance, followed by a confident stance. Wide shoulders help with this image, along with his usually stoic or angry expression.

## Personality

### Arrogance

Katsuki is very proud of his abilities. Throughout his life, people frequently commended his penchant for explosives, leading Katsuki to develop a superiority complex. As a result, he became arrogant and condescending over others, regarding himself as beyond their level.

### Insecurities

Katsuki suffers from occasional faltering self-esteem. Usually due to the amount of pressure and stress he puts on himself. There are times, when he is alone, that he will question his abilities. Is he really the best?

### Culinary Arts

Growing up Bakugo worked on learning how to cook, as he desires to be the best at anything he puts his mind to. Any chance he could he would watch as his Mother made dinner and learnt her techniques and recipes so he could look after himself when he finally moved on with his life, without relying on replicators.

### Hardworker

Bakugo is as smart as the best of his class. But this is down to his dedication and hard work. If there is something he’s not as versed in, he’ll put 100% into learning about it. Whether it be something as simple as someone’s hobby, or new theories. As loud as he can be in class, he doesn’t always share his intelligence with the rest, keeping it to himself for when he needs to use it to his advantage. While this does not mean he knows everything, he has a good general knowledge, his focus however is definitely explosives.

### Unwavering Loyalty

While he can be angry and aggressive, he is dedicated to doing his duties to the best of his abilities. He is determined to rise through the ranks, to show everyone he is deserving of becoming Captain one day. That is what he joined Starfleet to do.

### Likes

He enjoys long walks through areas with a lot of nature alone listening to some Rock or Punk music, something loud and can get him energised. Training and exercise are the things he spends his free time doing. He prefers doing a lot of outdoor running or swimming. Spicy food is his favourite thing to have, believing it to be the only way to eat most meals.

### Dislikes

He hates when it is too hot; it makes him feel uncomfortable. Sour foods/candies. Traffic. Bright lights. Disloyal people are something that makes his blood boil.

### Ambitions

Katsuki wants to show that he is a capable officer no matter his attitude. That even though he can be abrasive at times, he can get the job done. A long-term ambition of his is to rise to the rank of Captain, commanding his own ship one day and squashing any enemies of the Federation….mainly the Cardassians.

## History

### Setlik III

Katsuki’s Mother, Bakugo Mistuki was a Bajoran freedom fighter within the Kohn-Ma terrorist cell. Her goal was to fight the occupation of Bajor, free her people and never give up. Her speciality was explosives. If you needed something destroyed, she was your girl. However luck had different things in mind for her, during one such terrorist action, her entire group was captured and put to death. Due to the lack of communication between the cells, there was no way she could contact another group. No way she could join up with them unless she went hunting across all of the planet. Knowing the Cardassians were likely following her, watching her every move, Mitsuki was forced to leave the planet as a refugee, hoping she could at least escape this nightmare her life had become.

It was during this time she travelled to a Federation installation, requesting asylum and status as a refugee. Thankfully the Federation granted her request, letting her move through the Federation with ease. For once she was free, finally free. The crimes of her past were lost behind her, no longer throwing a shadow over a future away from Bajor. Moving to the federation colony Setlik III, Mitsuki would reside there for two years, finally enjoying life away from constant danger. It was nice until the Cardassians attacked the planet during the Federation Cardassian war.

Phaser blasts and explosives rang through, causing her to fall into her old ways. Relying on old training and muscle memory she collected as many of the colonists as she could, finding a group of six, before bumping into a Caitian medical Ensign, by the name of Mas’arau. With his help, the pair were able to hide the six colonists, protecting them until the end of the massacre. Once it was all over, they were rescued by the Starfleet forces coming to take the ship back. Mas’arau and Mitsuki were presented with the Silver Palm of Axanar medal for their actions on the planet.

Having bonded over their shared protection of the group, Mas’arau and Mitsuki began seeing more of one another. The two moved to Earth, partially due to Mas’arau being transferred back to Starfleet Medical, the massacre was enough for him to want a safer assignment.

### Early Life

Eight years after moving to Earth, Mitsuki gave birth to her son, Katsuki. Growing up for the boy was not as hard as it could’ve been, instead of sharing in the hardships his Mother did, Katsuki was well looked after. If there was something he wanted, he usually got it. Wanting for very little in life.

While he was growing up his father continued to work at Starfleet Medical, now having risen to the rank of Lieutenant. While he was not exploring the galaxy or curing entire planets, he was doing work he was proud of. This was what first sparked the young blonde’s interest in Starfleet. However, his interest wasn’t just in joining Starfleet but one day heading to Bajor, his Mother’s homeworld.

She would often tell him stories of the planet, but not of atrocities enacted on the people, instead, she would tell him of the farmlands. The forests and the beauty on it. One day she promised she would take him.

Moving through school, Katsuki showed an aptitude for the sciences but was very interested in weapons and explosives. Much like his Mother, he was a natural with them and would often spend his time in holosuites, learning about different ones, how to disarm them and increase their yield. There was even a time in which his parents had to fight with him to leave the holosuite…a disastrous tantrum ensued.

### Academy Life

Growing up and into his arrogance, it wouldn’t be long until he was ready to join the academy. Applying for the entrance examinations at the age of sixteen, he soon passed with flying colours, something he would brag about to all his friends. As if there was ever any doubt he would get in?

Majoring in courses that covered Starfleet tactical training and familiarising himself with their ship designs and manoeuvrability. During this time he also began reaching out to some of the Academy's extracurricular activities, spending most of his time as a part of Boxing, managing to keep the title of Boxing Champion, as if there was ever any doubt.

However, he had one or two disciplinary actions against him, notes in his record that suggested he was oftentimes quick to anger. Having caused a fight with some other students, the blonde found himself in hot water for a while. His privileges were revoked, and as a way of teaching him, there were consequences to his actions. For the rest of his time in classes, he was well behaved, still quick to anger but never acting on it.

### Extracurricular Activities

It was due to this turnaround of his behaviour, that he was allowed to take part in extracurricular activities, this time joining a marksman club, along with a demolitions group. Finally, with a chance to show off his passion, the teen soared. Before long he was assigned to the Odysseus for his Midshipman cruise.
