Personality & Traits
General Overview : Laid back and normally quiet, he often stays focused on his duties and brings “homework to the dinner table”. He is humorous around friends and serious when situations arise. He speaks his mind and is unafraid of consequences to himself when others are in trouble. He is well versed in starship combat and often steps up in crises, resulting in his rapid rise through the ranks.

Strengths & Weaknesses : His greatest strength, taking the burden of others, is also his greatest weakness, sometimes taking on more pressure than he should. He is skilled in unarmed combat and set several freshman records in tactical exercises. He is also very kind to others but his blunt sense of humor often gets in the way of conversation. He grew up fast and thus often acts far older than someone of his age. He is very quiet about many of his early experiences after starting his service during the Dominion War. The War greatly honed his skills as a fighter, making him an elite in many forms of combat. His recent and unexpected promotion to Captain will test his strengths and weaknesses.

Ambitions : Dyrell loves adventure, seeing brave new worlds and learning all he can about the universe. His desire to keep others safe after his mother’s death was his inspiration to become a tactical officer rather than science officer. Surprisingly, he cares little for his rank, although his great service led him to be promoted to Captain.

Hobbies & Interests : Taking after his mother, Dyrell has a keen interest in stellar phenomenon. He enjoys fitness, having participated in Starfleet Academy’s Cross Country Running team. He can often be found socializing with his fellow officers, "rubbing shoulders" with them instead of making himself a figure of authority. He has expressed an interest in raising a family and is known to have been romantically involved with at least 2 individuals during his years in Starfleet.

History
Personal History : Born aboard the starship Anastasia, he was named Dyrell Ikkaro at birth. He spent much of his early life aboard his mother's starship, where she served as the ship's Chief Science Officer. The ship's Captain took a great interest in him and his sister, thus their families were very close when they were young. Even at a young age, he showed a surprising amount of maturity and was occasionally allowed to visit his mother's work station on the bridge.

All of that changed the day his mother was killed during a skirmish with the Cardassians during 2361. Dyrell greatly changed after this, locking himself out from both friends and family as he let his silent rage from losing his mother consume him. His sister, Arynn, finally helped him open up again but not before they were sent to Trill to grow up with his estranged father. The new him was completely different, as if he had become a different person and aged 10 years in a matter of months. He became very protective of his sister and more interested in combat than science. He changed his last name to Teriir, his mother’s maiden name, to honor her memory.

When he was 16, he decided to attend Starfleet Academy, much to his father's chagrin as he blamed the Federation for his wife's death. He and his sister ended up running away from home so they could begin living their own lives and make their own decisions. Once at the academy, Dyrell was first thought to be a hothead but he eventually distinguished himself as a well rounded and capable cadet, often taking classes outside of his chosen specialization. While there, he made multiple friends whom he essentially treated as family. When the Dominion War erupted at the end of 2373, he and many of his classmates volunteered for Wartime Stations and were assigned to the front lines to help bolster the ranks.

During the war, he was given the rank of Ensign and was promoted to Lt. Junior Grade near the end of the war. Dyrell participated in 30 named engagements during the war as a member of the Federation 6th Fleet. Notable battles include; Operation Return, Fall of Aureum, 1st Battle of Chin'Toka, Defense of Starbase 211, Battle of the Shattered Moon, Raid of Regulak, and Battle of Cardassia. He continued service as a Tactical Officer after the war's conclusion. He has since been involved in dozens of actions against pirate factions, giving him the aura of a battle hardened veteran despite his age. He volunteered to serve aboard the USS Ares during the Semper Exploro Project and given the position of Chief Tactical Officer. He was later promoted to Captain following the departure of the previous Captain.

Service Record :
2372-2373: Starfleet Academy
2374-2375: Dominion War Service; Field Commission to Ensign, Akira Class USS Icarus, Field Promotion to Lieutenant Jg, Norway Class USS Keres
2375-2378: Promoted to Lieutenant, returned to USS Icarus, inherited Chief Tactical Officer post after predecessor’s retirement
2378-2381: Promoted to Lieutenant Commander, continued service aboard USS Icarus as Tactical/First Officer
2381: Transfer to Sovereign Class USS Ares as Chief Tactical Officer, promoted to Captain

This is the same character I've played as for awhile but with the recent promotion it made sense to redo it with the new rank.
