Character's Name: Gabriel O’Mara
Age: 52
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Physical Profile (height, build, weight, hair colour, eye colour, skin tone, race, etc.): 6’1”, Of average build, Gabriel has not let his physical fitness slip as he’s grown older. Dark brown eyes with silver hair (the very occasional brown hair creeps in, but they are becoming rarer with each passing year!)
Birthplace: Bermuda
Preferred rank: Captain - USS Zephyr
Department:Command
Personality: Gabriel is a man who has risen to his current position through his devotion to duty. This is a trait that has been part of his psyche since early days at the Academy. Of course such qualities are not all that Starfleet requires of it’s captains and fortunately this is not the only quality that he possesses. His devotion tends to drive him to occasionally find unorthodox ways in which to complete his missions, demonstrating that he has an ability to think out side of the box.
Gabriel is also wise enough to know what he does not know, and isn’t usually afraid to ask. A fairly laid back personality, Gabriel has sometimes had subordinates attempt to take advantage of what they perceive in a weakness of character. Such perceptions usually change rapidly when Gabriel feels that the line has been crossed, which usually results in a fairly firm and swift put down.
Background and History:
Growing up in Bermuda, Gabriel had a childhood filled with plenty of activity, a good basis for the physical fitness and good health he enjoys to this day. Getting good grades during his education he fell quite naturally into Starfleet and the Academy. His intellect and physical ability stood him in good stead during his four years at the Academy, where again he performed well.
After graduating the Academy he pent several years being transferred from ship to ship, picking up bits of knowledge, little tricks of the trade here and there. During his rise through the ranks Gabriel has served in just about every department other than science and medical. Having this broad range of experiences, Gabriel finally settled into Operations, before eventually becoming First Officer and then gaining his first command of the USS Leuthilspar. Eventually Starfleet decided to begin construction on a new class of starship, the Zephyr. The first of the line was given to Gabriel.
For the last 5 years Gabriel has been captain of the USS Zephyr, seeing her from a brand new commissioned ship to the reliable, dependable vessel that she is now. During that time he has seen service across most of the Federation, carrying supplies and relief to wherever it was needed. Starfleet has now ordered the Zephyr to the Gamma Quadrant to supply the new outposts and colonies that have been founded there.

“Bring her to and drop her into standard orbit over the equator,” Gabe told the helm.
”Aye sir,” came the swift reply. Gabe supressed a smile smile, recalling how he’d been when he’d been that young, that eager to please his superiors. He could feel the ship slip through the cold void of space, finally coming into position just as he’d requested. “Open a channel to the base; see if they’re ready to receive the supplies.”
The screen flickered into life, bathing the bridge in the distant glow of the command centre on the planet far below. ”Good evening Captain, so good to see you again and on time as always,” said the figure on the screen. “And you Commander, we’ve got your supplies on board, your replacement personnel and,” Gabriel began to search around his command chair, looking for something misplaced, “and something else, but I seem to have misplaced it for the moment. Never mind, I’m sure it wasn’t all that important really,” he said, an apologetic smile on his face.
”Of course Captain, whenever you’re ready,” the commander replied. “Very good, Zephyr out,” he said as the viewscreen changed again to show the planet below slowly turning beneath them. Slipping a PADD from the side of his chair he stood, “You have the bridge, I’m beaming down. Have the crew transfers meet me in transporter room one. Wonder what he’ll make of this,” Gabriel said, shaking the PADD.
