Position: Chief Security & Tactical Officer
Name: Stefan Michael Ives
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Birthplace: Concord, Massachusetts; Earth, Sol System
Appearance: An imposing man, Stefan reaches a height of six-foot three and weighs 178 pounds. His broad, sturdy frame carries a well-toned and sculpted physique. Stefan's hair is maintained exceptionally short, trimmed in a neat style with sharp lines and hard angles. His eyes are hazel in color and offer a stark contrast to his rich, espresso-pigmented skin tone. With very little body hair, Stefan's skin is smooth and supple. When he smiles, a dimple forms in the pocket of his right cheek. He has no permanent body art to speak of, however both of his ears are pierced and, while off-duty, he wears a pair of diamond studded earrings.
Personality: Stefan is free-spirited and wittily jaunty with an unabashed sarcasm, characteristics emphasized by an imaginative, albeit twisted sense of humor. He’s refreshingly optimistic, embracing each experience as a unique opportunity. Stefan is an idealist at heart, yet unapologetic and courageous about his moral and ethical convictions. Socially and environmentally adaptable, Stefan places a high premium on good manners, professional conduct, and decorum. Graced with a disarming personality, Stefan is outgoing, personable, friendly, and gregarious. Exceptionally patient and understanding, Stefan strives to be categorically diplomatic and urbane in both speech and action. Stefan is brutally honest; he doesn’t spare ones feelings when conversing a subject. Although socially adaptable, this won’t hinder him from speaking openly about the truth, the situation merely changes the delivery. At the cost of his own well-being, Stefan is obsessive, investing the entirety of mind, body, and soul into his work and studies. He can become overly passionate, to the point of arrogance. His playfully sarcastic approach can often times be misinterpreted as condescending.
Stefan has a keen appreciation for the arts, but prefers photography above all other media, and considers himself to be an amateur photographer. He avidly reads and writes, often utilizing a number of different media to satisfy a variable number of literary interests. He is also honing a developing appreciation for music, which is slightly more limited, confined mostly to music from Earth. A passionate outdoors-man, Stefan enjoys a number of recreational activities that include four wheeling, snowmobiling, skiing (downhill and cross country), snowshoeing, camping (all seasons), backpacking, fly-fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking. Stefan generally enjoys games of chance and forms of recreation requiring an above-average amount of physical exertion (e.g.: water polo, field hockey, and traditional football.). Stefan enjoys socializing with his close friends and drinks during social or special occasions.
Biography: An only child to parents Darlene and Leonard, Stefan Michael Ives was born on stardate 36652.1 in Concord, Massachusetts. Stefan didn't know his father; Leonard was deemed a casualty of war in the fulfillment of duties while serving on board the USS Concord as the chief flight control officer during the course of the Dominion War.
Stefan was primarily raised by his mother Darlene, who worked for the residential affairs office coordinating the expansion of the civilian population for the Marsara Colony on Mars.
On stardate 52678.5, shortly after turning sixteen years of age and at the behest of Darlene, Stefan started attending a Starfleet Academy Preparatory School. Offered as an alternative to the standard secondary school options for those intended for the academy shortly after graduation, the preparatory school was chartered to provide a comprehensive introduction to academy life and culture while the students completed the requirements of the school's intense curriculum. In many respects similar to the academy, the preparatory school challenged the students academically, physically, and psychologically to ensure proper acclimation to academy life. Stefan remembers this time as a humbling experience that presented an invaluable opportunity to better assimilate into the academy. It also helped him to understand and fully realize the passion for following in his father's footsteps and becoming a Starfleet officer.
Ceremonies were held on the parade grounds on stardate 54360.1. Stefan graduated from the preparatory school with a full invitation of acceptance into the academy at the start of the fall term.
Darlene and other close relatives were invited to the ceremonies and asked to participate in the advancement celebrations. There was a brief five day leave granted to graduates in which they could visit and socialize with family only prior to leaving for the academy. Knowing that her son was striving to follow in her deceased husband's esteemed legacy, Darlene appreciated that this was Stefan's way of coming to know a man he'd struggled to understand during his youth. Because of Leonard's death so early in Stefan's life, he didn't have the opportunity to know his father. For Stefan, there was this ghost of a memory which haunted him, one he never could truly grasp until he experienced a life similar to his fathers'. That was why it was so important for him to follow in his father's footsteps.
Stefan entered Starfleet Academy located in San Francisco, California on stardate 54691.4. The first year at the academy was oriented under the premise of general studies, allowing for cadets to complete all prerequisite coursework prior to selecting a more refined specialization. Both semesters were academically grueling, requiring the cadets to complete over eighteen credit hours per semester while mandating physical and survival training. Although showing intellectual prowess in the academics, Stefan excelled in the physical and survivalist training, showcasing exceptional skill in rapid assessment, instinctive response, and resolution during abnormal stress-level situations. Unlike some of his peers, Stefan thrived in the academy's regimented environment and strict adherence to order and organization, a more refined extension of what the preparatory school had tutored him in.
At the conclusion of his first year, Stefan was invited into Starfleet Academy's security operations curriculum. Because Stefan’s first year grade point average was 94.9%, his grades were deemed more than acceptable to warrant an invitation into the program.
Stefan had intended on pursuing a specialization in flight control operations, like Leonard; however, his math scores were merely proficient, not meeting the prerequisites for flight control officers. After careful consideration, he accepted the offer from Starfleet Security and registered for the next semester of coursework.
After an intense four years, on stardate 58429.3 Stefan graduated from the academy with high achievements, accolades, and a position on the academic honor roll including two letters of recommendation and one letter of commendation. Commissioned the rank of ensign, Stefan received temporary leave, of which he spent quietly back in Concord, Massachusetts with family.
After a two week shore leave, Stefan was recalled to San Francisco by Starfleet Security where he received official orders for a three-year tour of duty assigned as a security officer at Starfleet Command. Stefan used this time to advance his education in his field of study, refining his skillfully trained discipline and better preparing for an off-world deployment.
During this time, Stefan was promoted to the rank of lieutenant junior grade and handpicked to join the security detachment ensured with the safety, security, and protection of Starfleet's Commander-in-Chief.
The USS Discovery was a newly commissioned Intrepid-class starship assigned to Starfleet Cartography's scientific outreach programs near the edge of the Sol System. With a veteran Senior Staff comprised of seasoned and experienced officers, the commanding officer required all department heads to select their assistants from a pool of candidates with almost no shipboard experience.
On stardate 62001.0, Stefan was selected to assume the position of assistant chief security officer on board the Discovery. Because a greenhorn in his shipboard experiences, Stefan's direct superior officer guided him under a mentored program that lasted throughout the five-year tour of duty. His mentor expected nothing less than absolute perfection in Stefan's professional life; his expectations for maintaining this high level of excellence came with some rigorous teachings that served to enhance Stefan's overall experience while also drawing out inherent leadership qualities previously left untapped.
Due to the nature of the Discovery's versatile role in the Sol System, its assignment saw fulfillment in a diverse range of successful missions ranging from diplomatic in nature, to planetary relief efforts, to defensive posturing, and border patrol. This allowed for greenhorn officers to accumulate a varied array of experience while signing off on continuing education and elective fulfillment's. No two missions were ever the same and each served to test the greenhorn's on multiple levels, requiring them to draw from previous experiences, yet adapt while implementing new, untested theories.
At the conclusion of his assignment on board the Discovery, Stefan received orders for a five-year tour of duty on board the USS Lancelot serving as its assistant chief security and tactical officer.
During his first and only mission on board the Lancelot, Stefan played a pivotal role in the successful search and rescue operation of the Sheffield's crew and passenger manifest, chief among them the Lancelot's commanding officer Commodore James Smith, former executive officer Commander Taylor Fields, Cardassian security officer Ensign Teravek Gukkal, head nurse Lieutenant Jacob Sheppard, and engineering officer Ensign Rayasrihasti Emarinsani.
The Lancelot lost communication with and long range sensor readings of the Sheffield, who had chartered a course back to the sol system shortly after leaving the Sierra Sector. Upon immediate investigation, the Lancelot learned that the Sheffield had crash landed on the only M-class planet located within a cloaked star system designated by Starfleet Cartography as X24-98A I. The M-class planet, itself, was discovered to home a bronze-age civilization who retained distinct physiological and cultural similarities to Earth's ancient Roman society.
Additional details of this mission are still forthcoming, yet remain classified by Starfleet Command due to further analysis and study conducted by Starfleet Cartography, Starfleet Security, and Intelligence, as well as Starfleet Medical.
