David isn't a pretty boy, but he isn't hard to look at either. He stands 5'10" and around 165 lbs, with light brown hair and grey eyes. Though he is somewhat smaller than average, he possesses a well built frame which speaks of steadiness and strength.
Personality
Before his required therapy on Vulcan, David was egotistical, short-tempered, brash, aggressive, abrasive, and quick to accuse.
Since his therapy, David attempts to maintain calm and reserved, both on and off duty. However, his all too human heritage sometimes betrays him. He can be at turns Charitable, Chivalrous, Confident, Sociable, Distant and Focused. Some of his ego remains, but it is balanced with the more desirable traits his healing has fostered.
History
David was born in Reburg station on Cerberus III to Melinda and Richard Roberts. He was the youngest of 4 children.
Both Richard and Melinda were members of Starfleet, serving at the Starfleet research facility in Cerberus, and they were considered to be at the head of their fields.
He had an average childhood, and participated in various school activities including drama and athletics. It was his junior year of High School when the dominion War broke out. His mother and father were immediately assigned to the heavy cruiser USS Revenant, and David was left in the care of his oldest brother and sister.
He had no intention of ever joining Star Fleet, but the war would change that forever. In 2374 Revenant was dispatched to the Tyra System with a fleet of 212 vessels. Like the bulk of that fleet, it would never return, and was declared lost with all crew.
David immediately withdrew his application to Rymark University and submitted an application to Starfleet Academy instead. In 2374 he was accepted to and started courses at the Academy.
David consistently scored in the upper 20 percent of Students in his class during his first semester, and was earmarked by more than one professor for the Engineering course. However, the anger he felt at the loss of his parents made him want to take the fight to the Dominion, and he opted for the Security / Tactical tack instead. Four months later the Dominion War ended. Although it was small consolation to the hot headed young security candidate that he had missed the chance to avenge his parents, the choice was not a poor one. He moved up into the top 10 percent of his class after the change.
David Graduated in 2378, and was posted to the Federation school of advanced tactics. His instructors noted a self destructive rage and wildness in him, and recommended that he attend anger management counseling of his choice. David chose to study Vulcan meditation techniques.
Not surprisingly, it was discovered that the deep seeded anger was directly related to the Dominion war and the death of his parents. David learned to reflect on and allow the feeling to flow through him, without overcoming him, and while he never adopted true Vulcan philosophies, he has been a changed man every since.
David now has a passion for life that was nonexistent before, and he sees his current billet as the opportunity to redeem his past mistakes and make a positive impact for Starfleet.
