Personality & Traits

General Overview		Michael is caring and quietly adventurous. He has a gentle spirit, and while not boldly flamboyant about it he gets a great thrill in exploration and discovery and feels greatly excited when presented with the new and unknown. Though specializing in medicine, he has always had an interest for all of the natural sciences. Michael enjoys knowledge and finds it difficult to refrain from sharing. This unfortunately causes him to come across often as a know-it-all or as arrogant. But this is not the case, he just wants others to share in his excitement and wonder of the universe.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Michael is intellectually curious having inherited his father's keen mind. While this makes him an excellent scientist he has been known to neglect his health from time to time when working on a particularly interesting project. His curiosity has also been known to get him into trouble on occasion due to scientific and intellectual distractions. This is not to say that he isn't dependable in an emergency; quite the contrary. His mental focus allows him to keep his cool and organize his thoughts in the most trying of situations. Some see him as actually being rather cold during more intense moments and passionate situations. This is not the case as he actually feels quite compassionate regarding all sentients and feels a deep love towards individuals, though it is almost never expressed. His intellectual nature has, of course, affected his social life. While not necessarily inept at social encounters, he simply sees himself as more of an outsider at social gatherings preferring to observe more than interact and keeping his social life confined to a few close friends. This, of course, means that he usually prefers to work in very small groups rather than in larger teams. Michael can be very friendly and sociable on an individual basis, but chooses not to get too close. Michael, therefore, has no friends with whom he is particularly intimate. (ref: 3, ref: 4)
Ambitions		Content with his work, he desires the authority to get the job done in the manner that he sees as the most appropriate. His persuits are more intellectual than rank-driven and hopes to one day be recognized as a respectable authority in his field. While career-minded, he does hope to eventually find time for a family... when the time is right. He has fairly recently chosen to explore career possibilities in command and has, so far, been enjoying the new challenge. Though he still finds it feels a little odd to be primarily assigned to the bridge instead of a sickbay, he recognizes the necessity of the command path if he is to oversee a medical ship or facility in his career. Though no longer serving primarily as a physician, he still retains his Right to Practice. Though he has command authority as the First Officer, his medical authority is still subject to the Chief Medical Officer's oversight. Command on a science vessel has also allowed him to pursue more deeply his other interests in the natural sciences.
Hobbies & Interests		He enjoys music and will often be caught humming while at his work. In private he plays an old Earth instrument from the early Renaissance period called a Recorder. He also enjoys cooking and sampling various alien cuisine. He loves a good book, but doesn't say no to an exciting holonovel. He keeps himself fit (when he remembers to do so) through spelunking and swimming. He also has a passing interest in multimedia art forms and can sometimes be found holosculpting. Being half vulcan he is, of course, sensetive to telepathy and can initiate a mind meld; but his skill is rudimentary as he has not yet found a need or the desire to hone this particular talent. One of his favorite time-killing pasttimes that he picked up is scanning: anything and everything. He has a favorite tricorder named Toby. (ref: 2, ref: 3)

Personal History		Michael Robert Evans is half vulcan and half human. His human mother had a consensual relation with her vulcan coworker T'Ben Kallus during a deep space assignment on a civilian science vessel. His mother says that during the voyage the vulcan entered the pon far unexpectedly early and she consented to an intimate encounter in order to save his life. She never insisted upon T'Ben following up with fatherly duties and T'Ben's thoughts on this are unknown. Nicole has not had contact with T'Ben since. Michael kept his Welsh mother's surname since he never knew his father, a situation which he has always regretted. He always felt that if his father had had any feeling for him that his father would have insisted on being there for him. This has led to Michael developing a strong distaste toward vulcans and their need to suppress their feelings. His grandfather partially filled the role of a father figure and has encouraged his loving nature. Michael subconsciously rebelled against his father's absence by developing his natural love for all, and as an organic result found himself exploring the medical field where he could not only care for others but feed his natural thirst for knowledge. Michael joined Starfleet because of the opportunities it offers for exploration and the development of knowledge.
