[Processed] Introduction post...
Hello,
I'm new (obviously) and this is my intro post...
I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to be part of your fleet. I feel it is an honor and I will do my best to be a valuable member.
About me: My real name is Tessa. I am 43 years old, married (to my wife of 14+ years), lesbian female. We have twin boys (13). I work as a graphic designer/CNC programmer for a sign company in South Florida. Oh, and I am transgender (male to female). I have been on hormone therapy for slightly over 3 years. :)
I'm a full blown Trekkie and have been since I can remember. I used to watch ST:TOS almost every day growing up (it was in syndication and on every day around 5PM or so for years). I fell in love with the series and the moral/ethical lessons it contained. You could say I am a true-believer in the ideals that the Federation has always championed: Honesty, acting for the greater good and benefit of all humanity (or aliens as the case may be), saying no to greed, and generally being a good person who helps others. I can honestly say that I am the person I am today because of Star Trek.
I have seen every episode of every ST series at least 3 times - including the movies. I love Trek. My favorite ST series is Voyager and my favorite ST movie is First Contact. I particularly like Borg story lines.
I have been playing Star Trek Online since it was in Beta a tad over 6 years ago. I'm a lifer (bought my lifetime sub in beta). I used to play the game all the time with my best friend who passed away about a year ago. I just recently started playing again after a year long hiatus. I have about a half a dozen alts, most of which are Federation Engineers, but I do have a couple of low level Klingons and a Romulan that I haven't even tried yet (I made it to see what the costume options were for that faction).
My primary character is a liberated Borg: Niko Kitagawa, federation Engineer. Her rank is Fleet Admiral and her ship is a Jupiter Class Carrier: the U.S.S. Galactica. (I am a HUGE fan of the Battlestar Galactica reboot too and it just seemed appropriate for a carrier).
I'm an all around Sci-fi nerdy type of woman. I tend to look to the future, instead of dwelling on the past. My hobbies include ST:O, computer graphics and science (especially physics and cosmology). Other interests include medicine (specifically endocrinology), automation technology (robotics, CNC, etc), Astronomy, engineering, electronics and paintball (mil-sim only, not arena style games).
Some of the other games I play are: Minecraft, Diablo 3, Forza, Soul Caliber, Gears of War and Quake (3 being my all time favorite FPS). My @handle in ST:O is @deadrevenant, feel free to send me a friend request. My Xbox Live handle is Dead.Revenant (again, feel free to send me a friend request).
Again, thank you for letting me be a part of the group. :)
