▲ NOLAN CARMICHAEL | 32 | LIEUTENANT COMMANDER | BIOCHEMESTRY ▼ ▲ personality ▼
Nolan Carmichael is the type of man one would want to run into on a bad day. While his focus on his work and his passion for teaching govern his actions, he never turns away those in need and is always willing to lend an ear. Despite this, however, he keeps only a few friends, mostly colleagues within his field. Gatherings are not his forte but he would never miss one, always wanting to learn about those around him but standing in front of students, working to inspire them, is what he lives for. ▲ history ▼
London born and raised, Nolan came up from just about nothing. Raised by his elderly grandmother, his parents ran off in opposite directions before he was old enough to even form memories of them. By the time he was ten, he was already an orphan thanks to their reckless ways. He was always an intelligent boy, a bit of a geek and children were cruel, even in an enlighten era like they lived in. Science was something he was always gifted in, even then. He was in MIT before he was 13, thanks to a scholarship from an unknown patron.
He joined Starfleet when he was 18, fresh off his MIT degree and threw himself through the biochemistry classes. He always knew what he wanted, either a medical position or a teaching position, however he had not expected the approach and offer that came when he about to begin his final year. He patron was revealed to be a pretty heavy hitter within Starfleet Intelligence. And the offer was a spot within the very secretive – if not invisible/non-existent – Sector 31. He could still follow his goals, but mainly they would own his soul. Basically.
He accepted, perhaps foolishly jumping the gun if you asked him during initiation. After a few short years working undercover, he was slotted the professor’s seat the Academy in his chosen field. Operative? Help those recruiting weed through the massive number of cadets and to keep an eye on one John Harrison. The perk of the mission? He actually gets to do what he’s always wanted to do – teach.
