All around champion in solar system fencing tournament for 4 years several awards in holodeck flight simulator tournaments.
Background:
Suffers from a shoulder and back lesion, which made him to withdraw from the Solar System Track and Field Olympics as a Javelin thrower and Decathlonist.
Won second place in the Jupiterean World Fencing Championships, and was elected to represent his planet in the Solar System Olympics. Won the championship for 4 straight years, but withdrawn due to the lesion specified before.
Entered Starfleet Academy in 2356. Serving for Starfleet ever since.
Personality Profile:
Very reserved and sometimes timid, has very few friends, but those who are, are a very selected breed. Very efficient, has a perfect mission record so far, and is a superb pilot. Likes to question orders, and sometimes makes his own conclusions and acts upon them. Deemed as a political danger by Starfleet Command (see above and below). Dislikes Gorns very much, and adores the Trill way of living several 'lifetimes'.
Special Notes:
Due to the hostile environment in which he grew up, he has two distinctive characteristics: Speed and Stealth. In his home planet, Jupiter, the force of gravity is extremely strong. His body learned to adapt to it, and so when in a normal (Terran) gravity, he is slightly stronger than normal, but his speed and dexterity are unequaled, yet he has a very low stamina, and needs to rest a lot.
His stealth abilities reside in the fact that he has polymorphic skin. That is, he can change and mimic his surroundings, almost to perfection like a chameleon in a color spectrum ranging from purple to green. On the other side of the spectrum, from colors yellow to red, it's possible to see a moving sillouhette ((OOC: kind of what you see on the predator movie)).
When he is in a blue environment, or subject to a blue light, he is virtually invisible, yet in a yellow environment or light, he is very easily spotted. That's why he was a perfect subject to be trained in espionage tactics. Note: He doesn't change shape (He's not a shapeshifter).
Deemed as a political threat by Starfleet Command, several attempts have been made on his life. He always emerged alive from those confrontations, although many have questioned how he was able to do so. Being an asset for Starfleet Intelligence, and a threat for Starfleet Command, his third court-martial brought unnecessary attention on him, and so was transferred onboard the 'doomed' USS Grail. Although knowing in advance of the secret agenda of the ship, he decided to join it anyway, for it gave him a chance both to explore uncharted regions, and clear up and make a new reputation for himself.
Species Historical Profile:
During the great human colonization, circa 2079, Jupiter was colonized. The way to accomplish this was far from simple. Great floating cities were built, having antigravity units, anti-radiation shields, internal life support and such. During the following years, these were perfected, but several accidents happened which involved in DNA random resequencing and terrible mutations. With the further developments in genetic engineering, many of this aberrations were corrected, but the newly formed mutations were given sentience and living creatures rights, so no more genetic tampering were permitted on them. Later on, they developed into several different species, being most of them irrational and violent, and eventually turning into wild beasts.
The few humanoids that remained, developed through radiation, evolution and some genetic tampering, different ways to overcome and survive in such an hostile environment, thus Corvette's special skin chamaleonic abilities.
Due to the obvious complications for life in such environments, it was deemed necessary for all subsequent earth colonies to be erected in at least class M planets.
