Personality & Traits

General Overview		With a bright, sunny disposition, Chelsea smiles readily and to her, life is a cup half full. She cares deeply and can be emotional. She retains her childlike sense of fun and has a rather mischievous sense of humour but her Starfleet training is usually enough of an inner-parent to guide her out of trouble
Strengths & Weaknesses		Chelsea cares deeply and can be emotionally involved with her patients’ progress if it is going wrong in particular but she has the strength of her losses in her life which helps her to retain philosophical foundation stones if needed. She has a great sense of fun which can be a tiny bit childlike but her same childlike spark and enjoyment is infectious and can lighten up atmospheres, parties and social events. Chelsea is fiercely loyal once her love/friendship is given and is dedicated in her work ethics.
Ambitions		Chelsea would like to expand her work to a Starbase with its diversity of types of inhabitants and therefore patients. She also wishes to do more with her basic major of genetics and has begun to expand into AI and symbiont medicines too.
Hobbies & Interests		Chelsea plays Parrises Squares and does quite well. She entered a tournament on her last ship and came high in the results chart. She also plays 3-D chess as she finds it demands so much of her mind that it allows her to switch off, in fact it forces her to, in order to think in so many directions at once. She also loves music. She has a vast collection of ancient and modern music and can play piano with some skill and talent.
Languages		Federation Standard, Bajoran and some very basic Cardassian due to her connections and work on Bajor.

Personal History		Chelsea was born to a Terran mother by a Bajoran father who died when she was 6. Her mother returned to Earth to her family who helped to raise Chelsea so her Bajoran name and Bajoran roots had largely faded into her past. As a teenager she did some research into her father's people but her maternal Grandfather was a retired Starfleet Captain and was bent on her going to the Starfleet Academy. Chelsea had no objection on condition that she could specialise in Medicine for which she had shown an aptitude at college, and as such she was too absorbed in her career and studies to take a long intended trip to Bajor until she was in her late 20s.
Service Record		Chelsea began her medical training at Starfleet's Cochran University Hospital in San Fransisco, and went on to spend her Registrar years in situ on the USS Rennaisance, a Galaxy Class ship with a large medical section where she was encouraged to undertake a research project as part of her specialty. She chose genetics and was awarded the Pallanski Prize for Most Promising Medical Progress. Once fully qualified as a Ship's Surgeon at the age of 28, Chelsea took a year's secondment to finally visit Bajor, where she practiced in the Ilivian Medical Complex. Returning to active Starfleet duty, she joined the USS Venture, a Defiant Class starship, and was promoted to Lt (jg), the posting reuniting her with her Academy sweetheart, Ben Nelson whom she married a year later. Having added three more years' practical experience and a further promotion to Lieutenant, Chelsea was appointed Assistant Chief Medical Officer on the USS Taurus, but her ambition has always been to work on a Starbase and she is applying to Starbase 400 for an exciting new challenge (particularly in the light of the recent break up of her 2 year marriage to Ben, that had left her much in need of a fresh start).

With characters in varying sized and status of ships, starbases, colonies, in ten different fleets or groups over short and/or long periods of time, with an average of 3-4 ongoing at any one time, depending on the pace and activity of each, I have a lot of Sim experience. I have written a range of various characters which has included some male but more often female; all part-human but mostly with mixed genetics, including part Bajoran, Betazoid, Klingon, Romulan, BaKu, Bolian, Angosian, Denobulan and even a part AI for a short while.
How did you hear about Starbase 400		I was recommended to join by Tommy Pellegrino with whom I have simmed extensively in the past and who has been a good friend.
