Personality & Traits


Personal History Born to John and Andrea DaSilvor, on Vulcan. Eldest child, younger sister Rosemary born on Earth. Mother (Starfleet medical nurse) transferred to Tric-Cor hospital (Vulcan) after training met Father at spaceport (Lt DaSilvor - science officer / shuttle pilot). Love at first sight.
Went to the usual mix of Federation schools, parents postings meant some schooling completed on starships. His parents posting made it difficult for him to make friends and would often seek solitude. His favorite place the observation deck, and he was often found staring out of the window, watching the stars go past.

Finished schooling and joined starfleet in 2358

DaSilvor has the habit of staring without realizing . It can be quite uncomfortable if he ends up staring at somebody, so he usually avoids looking too long at anybody while talking to them. He appears to be fairly laid back and easy going, but in reality he is very self critical and a perfectionist. There are times when it seems the universe is only there to annoy him, but generally he enjoys life and his career in starfleet. He has his own views on right and wrong and some people find him a bit harsh, but he will defend what he believes to be right, although not always to the death.

He has a normal sense of humor and likes to (if the chance arises) see stage shows of his favorite comedians. He has got himself in trouble a few times with senior officers for things which he regard as good humor, but others regard as flippant or sarcastic.

He is normally a lateral thinker, and works better under pressure. If the pressure is off, can be a bit slow and may need things explained in more detail. Because of his ability to think laterally he is a good tactical thinker and can often spring a surprise on a more logical thinking person/opponent.

Atmospheric flying is his favorite hobby, in particular Gliders, he enjoys having to work to keep the glider in the air and have flown across Death Valley in the USA ( for real, not on the holodeck). Enjoys walking, usually alone. Because of his troubled childhood he enjoys his own company and when on leave he will go backpacking and hiking. Likes to watch birds of prey hunting and thinks the brutality of nature is fascinating.

At the time of his transfer to FOX had have never had a long term relationship. He enjoyed a brief relationship with Linda Southey (USS Highland), but they are currently only good friends. While serving with FOX he became involved with Dr Kateri Beniah. This relationship lasted for several months until her death during a mission to intercept the 'Probe' that was returning to Earth after the death of the two whales brought from the past by Admiral James T Kirk in the late 2200's. Her death left him devastated and there are no records of him being involved with anybody else until he met and Married Dalenna Coolidge who was serving onboard the USS Conqueror.

His quarters are not decorated in any way, the only personal thing on view are two pictures. One of his family (Father, Mother and younger sister) and another of Kateri, who despite having married Dalenna, remains close to his heart..
Service Record Joined Starfleet at the tender age of 20 graduated from the academy 4 years later. Scored very high in weapons and small craft piloting. First posting on board the USS Arcadia as a small arms technician, performed well and was transferred into ship weapons section again as technician. Progressed to bridge staff (helm & weapons control). After two years on board Arcadia, DaSilvor requested transfer to a smaller vessel (Arcadia was Constellation class).

Transferred to USS Ebony - corvette. Again served as a helm and weapons officer, within a year promoted to Lt. JG. Served for 5 years on Ebony. As well as a helm and weapons officer DaSilvor got involved in shuttle piloting and became the regular shuttle pilot. On one occasion helped evacuate survivors of a Cardassian attack on a Federation outpost colony when evacuation complete he attacked the Cardassian ground forces with the shuttle destroying several ground installations. He was commended for his ability and the result of his actions, and disciplined for going against orders (Excuse of communications failure not accepted). After this combat display Captain of Ebony recommended DaSilvor for fighter duty and transferred him to USS Tiger (Fighter Carrier ).

The Tiger was employed clearing up pirate and raider bases from outlying colony worlds. DaSilvor fitted in well with fighter duty and as part of the bridge staff (helm & weapons - again). At 30 years old promoted to full Lt. and squadron Commander (USS Tiger carried 150 fighters), DaSilvor commanded one wing of fifty.

At thirty five was transferred to F.O.X. as Helm Officer of the USS Vengeance, and after serving aboard the USS Vengeance during the Dominion War he was posted again to the USS Highland, where he has remained until his transferred to USS Conqueror, once again taking up the role of squadron leader. After several years serving on board the Conqueror he was promoted to Commander and appointed executive officer. Following the death of the Captain, promoted to the rank of Captain, taking over command of the USS Conqueror.

*** CONFIDENTIAL - TOP LEVEL SECURITY ONLY ***
report dated - 2373
At the age of thirty two Lt. DaSilvor was critically injured in an attack on a pirate base in the epsilon sector.
Injuries included irreparable damage to top of spine. Although conscious and able to speak he would never be able to move anything from the neck down and was kept alive on life support.

After the V'ga incident the Enterprise medical scans of Lt. Illea were passed on to federation security and security science section. As a result of 70 years development the technology existed to create an android based on the Illea scans. DaSilvor was offered the opportunity to have his mental patterns scanned and transferred to an android replica of himself. The scan would destroy DaSilvor’s brain but his patterns would live on in the android.

DaSilvor was not told why he was offered the opportunity, but he accepted. However, the transfer was successfully completed only after the intervention of Dr Kateri Beniah.

As far as his family and fellow officers are aware DaSilvor made a surprising full recovery from his injuries and the chief medical officer of Tiger performed a complete examination before being convinced. DaSilvor uses Bio-Mask technology to mask his artificial internals and replace them with the readings DaSilvor should have following his injuries. DaSilvor's body is one of a group of prototypes to develop a deep cover infiltrator for use in extreme situations. DaSilvor's was the one of the first to receive the transfer of live mental patterns. All the others use AI created patterns.
Communication is maintained with the development laboratory via a Borg style subspace network.
The Android body that DaSilvor inhabit is maintained and repaired by nanites. It can survive most things that would disable or kill a normal human being. His physical strength is several times that of a normal human being and his endurance is unlimited. The body's programming still uses the human sleep cycle to allow for the automated repairs and maintenance.
Simming History Since 1998 when I joined Fleet Operations eXecutive as therapy for stress related mental illness. Stayed with FOX until it closed in the early 2000's. Joined the USS Conqueror in 2003 and again stayed until it closed through lack of activity. Joined Mel's USS Essex (as Andrew Clifford) in late 2007 and moved with it to SB400. Stayed with SB400 until time prevented me from taking an active part sometime in late 2015/early 2016.
How did you hear about Starbase 400 Orignally from Mel when she was talking about bringing the USS Essex here
