Now, we do all the little finishing touches, formatting the information and so on. The format I use is Identity, Posting and Personal Information; Attributes; Skills; Other Statistics; Background Notes; and Description & Personality. I also like to use a graphic title bar giving the character's name and rank on a sort of name-tag.

Winston was born to a poverty-stricken family in the slums of Brooklyn. Earning a scholarship to Oxford University, he eventually got his doctorate in medicine. However, instead of doing work in the public sector, he joined Star Fleet Command. During the Four Years War, he earned the Legion of Merit for saving the lives of over 30 crewmen in the Battle of Kyros.

Description & Personality
The doctor has a round face, stark white hair, and a deep voice. He walks with long strides and has a rather sinister grin.

The doctor is a practical joker. Teamed up with V'Shall, he has played practical jokes on almost every member of the crew. His favorite joke involved planting a z'thil, an Andorian whoopee cushion, in the Captain's seat. During the execution of his jokes, he always keeps a straight face.

Doctor Driveon has an easy-come, easy-go attitude toward life. Because his Legion of Merit medal is important to him, he wears it all the time.
