Mentality

Personal history

"Just... sorry. I don't really like talkin' about my time before the EC."

Failures & Embarrassments

"We were on this planet -- Sigma-Gamma, I think, I dunno fer sure. I was leadin' this team of survey folks who wants to get more info on some xenoflora that a previous exploration registered as could be potentially used fer medical purposes. Now, none of the initial surveys mentioned hostile xenolife, not in the region we touched down in. Maybe they migrated around? Well... this is, we ran into that hostile xenolife, some sorta dog-shark thing, and we were totally unprepared. Two, uh... two of the surveyors died." (Leonel pauses for a few moments.) "I'm sorry, I don't wanna talk about this."

Mental Trauma

"I don't think I'm traumatized."

Intellectual Characteristics

"Uh, I like logical thinkin', I guess. I like thinkin' through stuff. Puzzles are fun."

Morality & Philosophy

"Life is short. Have fun and be nice to people."

person.sexuality

"Is this a real question in '07?"

person.gender_identity

Male

Taboos

"Please-- don't touch my ears or pet me. It keeps happenin'."

Known Languages

"My Zurich is accented. Some folks say it's kinda hard to understand me. My Selenian's great -- that's what me and Franklin talked in. I do know Accord sign language, but, uh, sometimes the words are kinda hard fer me to get, since I'm still learnin'."

Personality

Motivation

"I wanna see the universe. I wanna see all the beautiful things that are hidden out there. There's no life to live if you just stay at home and look at the same old things -- there's so much more out there to see."

Quotes & Catchphrases

"The future must know where you've been, the past predicts the state yer in. The present did and will not last -- is, isn't, was, have, haven't, has."

Savvies & Ineptitudes

"I do have basic paramedic trainin', but at times I just feel useless, especially if there's a lot of folks that're hurt. In those situations, I try to do what I can, but mostly just hand off equipment to the more experienced doctors. I keep fearin' that one of 'em is gonna yell at me someday because I mess things up."
 
"On the other hand, I feel pretty confident about things when it comes to structural engineerin'. I took the courses 'cuz I wanted to be able to do field repairs on shuttlecraft in the event of some sorta depressurization -- y'know, like meteors, which I hope to heck I don't have to see, or somethin' like space dust, or some sorta spacefarin' xenolife. Do 'space carp' have an official name? I know it's what everybody calls 'em..."

Likes & Dislikes

"I like cinnamon. I love cinnamon. Gimme somethin' cinnamon -- somethin' tasty, somethin' that smells like cinnamon, I just can't get enough of the stuff. Do you like the smell of cinnamon? I like to get those cinnamon brooms fer my apartment every couple of months so home smells like cinnamon."
 
"What do I dislike, though? I'm not sure... I guess, I dunno, people that try to force themselves into conversations? Maybe that's a pretty common thing. I don't think there's anything I actively dislike..."

Virtues & Personality perks

"Virtues? I dunno, seems like somethin' braggy. I'll skip this question."

Vices & Personality flaws

"Vices? Uh... does lovin' cinnamon count as a vice? I guess that money I spend on cinnamon brooms could be sorta considered a vice. I think vices are typically somethin' you don't talk about in polite company."

Personality Quirks

"Cajun. People keep sayin' my accent is cajun. I looked it up and it's some old Earth thing -- like southern American dialect mixed with French? That's what the old records say, anyway. I guess it kinda fits since my name does have old French origins -- La-more-ow, that's how ya pronounce it. I think it means 'The Moreau', but what's a moreau?"

Hygiene

"Uh... I like cinnamon? I mean... I've thought about cinnamon cologne, but maybe that's sorta over the top. I use this citrus stuff in the shower? You gotta be careful when you got ears like mine 'cuz the shampoo can get in there and it's really uncomfortable. See, like, normal human ears, you gotta tilt yer head to the side, see? With me, it's just -- like, right there. I usually gotta turn my back to the water to do most of it, and then when I do gotta face the shower, I kinda... do it at an angle? I hold one of my ears down and have the other out of-- oh, wait, this is too many details? Uh, sorry."

Current Residence

Tau Ceti

Contacts & Relations

"I like a lot of the folks I work with. There's K'ssu, she's an Unathi, then there's Vek, then, uh, Oliar... then there's old man Hays, but don't tell 'im I said he was old. Apparently he's just one year older than me, but he's the Pathfinder, so he musta done somethin' right. I like 'leesha a lot, 'leesha Parker, aaand... I know a guy named Maxwell Byrne but don't know 'im too well. Who else? There's Tal Ravis, he's a goblin... oh geez, I know I'm forgettin' somebody, and since this is gonna go on the record, I feel really bad about it. Um... oh, Lonnie! Officer Reyes, I like him, but he was kinda scary at first. There's also Officer Ryan, Chloe's 'er name. Then there's Jules, too, I like Jules a lot. He's a scientist. Geez, I know a buncha people and I can't remember names now. If one of you are readin' this in the future and I didn't say yer name, I'm really sorry!"

Honorary & Occupational Titles

Senior Explorer

Wealth & Financial state

"Wealth...? Well, I'm on a senior explorer's salary, so I guess that's not so bad. I bet Hays makes, like, tons more than me."

Family Ties

"Nah. None. Just me, now. I don't let it bother me."

Religious Views

"I know there's a buncha religions, and all of 'em say they're the true one. I dunno what's the 'true' religion, but I'm all for any of 'em that thinks it's good to treat people decently. I dunno if there's a God or gods or somethin' up there. I wanna believe there is, but I don't have any proof."

Social Aptitude

"I'm a superstar." (The interviewer asks Leonel to elaborate.) "Well, take it as ya would. Do you think I'm a superstar? Might also mean I'm a total nerd. Things are just kinda funny that way."

Mannerisms

"I try to always be polite. I know I shouldn't be salutin' off-duty, but I still use sir and ma'am fer folks who are my superiors in the EC. Is that wrong? I haven't had a chance to talk to an SEA about it. I'd ask Captain Dave Richards, but I'm sure he's got way more important things to do than talk to me. 'nother thing I'm not sure about is how to address Fleet folks on the ship, that's another question fer the SEA. Would an XO talk to me about it? Maybe I'll ask."

Hobbies & Pets

"Pets and hobbies? I want a puppy, but I'm away from home fer so long that I couldn't take care of one. I can't even keep plants, 'cuz who's gonna water them? I love plants, though, I used to have this little cactus that would bloom whenever Christmas came around."

Speech

"ZAC is my second language. some folks have told me my accent is 'cajun', but I don't know what that means. my selenian is better and ZAC sign language is kinda awkward since I have some trouble with ZAC itself."
