LTM Mark F. Fletcher [Player: Scott Maxfield, Date: 990205.1456] ===================================================================== PERSONNEL FILE--CONFIDENTIAL Name: Marcus "Mark" Fabius Fletcher, MD Rank: Lieutenant Major Billet: Marine Specialist Attached as Head of Sciences, USS Corona, pending reassignment Serial: M-ScEnMd-11147-v3 (formerly: TER-2311-1926-7v2) Citizen: Terra (Sol III) Race: Human Sex: Male Age: 34 Marital Status: single, never been married PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION------------------------------------------------- Height: 1.86 m (6'1") Weight: 75 kg (165 lb) Hair: Golden brown Eyes: Hazel Skin: Caucasian Identifying marks: Roughly circular scars, somewhat beneath right clavicle at front and centre of right scapula at rear. Fitness: Accomplished athlete. MEDICAL DATA--------------------------------------------------------- Allergies: none. Injuries: - Age 13, broken back: thrown from horse. Fracture at upper thoracic vertebrae. Paraplegic for 3 months. Rehabilitation for 18 months. Complete recovery except for spine fused at break to prevent further injury. - Age 27, penetration wound, right shoulder: horseman's lance. Injury received from a tourney whilst in full plate armour. Nerve damage resulted in temporary loss of use of right (primary) arm. Near full mobility regained. Disabilities: Slight loss in flexibility due to fusion of thoracic vertebrae, but given that this portion of the body does not move much, the loss is barely detectable. An excessive and continued load placed upon right arm leads to premature weakening when compared to the subject's overall physical conditioning. Note: Due to temporary loss of use of right arm, subject has since learned to be ambidextrous. EDUCATION------------------------------------------------------------ Starfleet Academy, San Francisco, Terra (four years) - Graduated Master of Art (with Highest Distinction), May, 2398 Major(s): General Starship Engineering, Quantum Logic Minor(s): Cosmology, Super-string Theory, Starship Design Starfleet Medical College, San Francisco, Terra (six years) - Graduated with Medical Doctorate, May, 2404 Medical specialties: Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Thoracic Surgery Languages: Standard English, Scots Gaelic, Latin, Classical Greek (fluent). Romulan, Ferengi (competent). Comment: I would without qualification recommend Lieutenant Fletcher as a fine medical officer except that following discussions with him I surmise that all hell would break loose if we locked him in a Medbay. As he has kept up with this field during his six years of training in medicine BUPERS may prefer to allocate him a position therein. -- Graduation Review Office PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE------------------------------------------------ Beliefs: Agnostic (Pantheistic tendencies) Ambitions: Find the right woman, get married, have a family. Annoyances: Displays of self-pity because... Any personal situation he can't fix with a click of his fingers makes him feel powerless and vulnerable. Hobbies: Reading science and engineering texts. Writing science and engineering texts. Daikyu (Japanese: Great Bow). Ancient hand-to-hand combat. Minor hobby: Carousing and cavorting. Personality: Flirt, die-hard romantic, cocky and self-assured Comments: Having discussed at some length Lieutenant Fletcher's relationship with his family, I am now aware that in accord with the zeroeth law of thermodynamics heat flows from hot places to cold places except at Stirling Castle which violates space-time symmetry as an emotional quantum singularity. Precisely what this means I don't know, but whatever the problem, the lieutenant certainly seems to be handling it okay I guess. -- LCDR Arddrich Fromteil, Chief Counsellor, LAG 4, Red Fleet He wants a family. I try to be one to him, but he won't accept me into his heart. He needs something more than I can give him. I pray he finds true love. -- Julia Fletcher (sister) Nothing could be more natural. It merely serves to demonstrate that he does not need his body to draw the bow. -- unknown Many Worlds Zen-acolyte in response to overheard comment that it was unusual for a man with a weak shoulder to practise such a demanding form of archery.

SD 980515 Graduated: Starfleet Academy SD 980202 Enrolled: Starfleet Medical College SD 940201 Enlisted: SFA Excerpts: LTjg Fletcher was assigned as CMO on DIOSCORIDES against his wishes following his breakthrough as SCI in the treatment which controlled and eventually eliminated the outbreak (of unknown origin) of the GSM-01 Cybervirus. Due to his having yet to complete his required return of service, he was unable to resign his Starfleet commission. Official mention of his objection is hereby made. LTjg Fletcher was transferred as aCEO, SNEFRU following his persistent requests for any non-medical position within Starfleet. This transfer was facilitated by SNEFRU's CO, CAPT Bromwell. <> CEO Fletcher's persistent refusal to work on weapons systems on board SNEFRU is bringing him dangerously close to finding himself on reprimand. Comment: Private Conversation, 110103: CAPT T. Sadariz; LTM M. Fletcher. S: I don't know what prompted your resignation but I have my ideas and I know what it's like. I have weeks where I hate the navy too. But you have to believe me, running away from it won't get you anywhere. F: I don't suppose that it would do much good to say this wasn't just based on a bad week. FAMILY AND BACKGROUND------------------------------------------------ Father: Bruis Wallace Fletcher Mother: Annia Fabia Valerius Siblings: Lucius Fabius Fletcher, MAJ Quintus Fabius Fletcher, SFMC (brothers), Annia Julia Fletcher (sister) Other: Sir Robert "Robbie" Burns Fletcher (father's paternal grandfather), Quintus Fabius Valerius (maternal grandfather) PERSONAL HISTORY: Born in Stirling Castle (Stirling, Scotland) to retainers of the restored Stirling Family. As the eldest child he was strongly mindful of his status as a role model for his siblings. Like all members of his family, he received an exceptional private education, learning academically (liberal and professional), physically and culturally. Unlike the majority of his family, Mark does not hold to terribly Roman ideals. Following the loss of his youngest brother for three years, Mark was blamed for the disappearance. This despite Mark never having even been to Australia from where his brother had disappeared. Mark Fletcher enlisted at SFA as soon as was possible and has not maintained strong family ties. Following the loss of use of his arm Mark displayed a marked degree of pacifism, one which has to some extent threatened to hinder his career: he has consistently allocated less of his time to combat system repairs and maintenance preferring to leave this to subordinates. He also avoids combat where possible, but like anyone who has learned to fight competently while wearing 40 kg of metal armour, he is no sloth if he has to use his fists. Subsequent to an incident on 49 Adio V while defending his ailing brother, Mark Fletcher has ceased to display overtly pacifistic tendencies, even to the point of resigning his Naval commission to uptake a Marine commission at the same grade despite this necessitating his completing infantry training. (Said training is yet to be undertaken as at SD 110104.) Whether this external change of position is an indication of the reversal of his downward spiralling career remains to be seen. Addendum: GENEALOGICAL HISTORY The family Fletcher trace their lineage back to retainers loyally serving William Wallace, Robert de Bruis (Robert Bruce), and Mary Stuart--and also to Sir John Piers Fletcher, a member of the English forces defeated by Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge (AD 1297), whose patronym they bear to this day. He proved himself an amiable if rambunctious captive under house arrest who made no attempt to escape (his treatment was too good) and who refused to acknowledge his title while incarcerated. Although an Englishman, since he shared the surname with them, Sir John was adopted by the nearby (to Stirling) Fletcher clan having in his captivity been won to the Cause. Pursuing a dalliance with one Magdalene Fletcher he married into the clan and then considering himself a Scotsman he formally renounced his English title. John Fletcher distinguished himself on the side of the Scots fifteen years after his marriage, seventeen after his capture, at Bannockburn. He fell there, living long enough by that river to receive a second knighthood from King Robert himself and to be made steward of the royal residence Stirling Castle. His son, Sir William Fletcher, took up the post and the Fletchers have held that position for the past eleven hundred years, even with the establishment of the peer Lord Stirling last century. Mark Fletcher pays no regard to his maternal Roman lineage. ===================================================================== NRPG Notes on Playing Mark: Calling him Marcus is a practically a sure-fire way to get him to visibly flinch. It reminds him of his stormy relationship with his family. Mark vacillates to some degree between Agnosticism and Pantheism. The latter when he is practising Kyudo (Bow Way) to 'become one with the target' or thinking like a quantum physicist and the former the majority of the time. At all times he is apt to be an insatiable flirt. He gets away with the most vapid of lines since he is the type of man who *can* get away with them. Though for most of his adult life he has had little to do with them, Mark is strongly protective of his younger siblings, particularly his sister. However, his Marine commission under the command of his brother may make possible closer family ties. Having had little to do with his family, Mark has searched for emotional fulfillment through numerous relationships, all with females (of varying species) but not all primarily sexual in nature (though he has had an interesting experience or two). During his time on SNEFRU Fletcher became progressively more withdrawn and did not engage in any form of romantic liason. It is only recently since his transfer off SNEFRU that he has returned to his former self. Mark has been known to be sardonic with superiors when they have treated him this way. This though is not the norm for his behaviour.
