Position: First Officer and Intelligence Officer aboard the U.S.S. Tubman Rank: Lieutenant Commander Species: Vulcan Gender: Male Date of Birth: 2344 Age: 36 Place of Birth: Intersectional Colony Aquarius 12 Height: 1.75 meters Weight: 66 kilograms Eye Color: Green Hair Color: Brown Family: J'tk T'zai Neras (Father, Deceased 2344), J'tk T'zai T'Pava (Mother, Deceased 2344), J'tk S'zhr T'Wan (Grandmother), Gavvrok Son of Ghir (Spouse, Married 2375), Aquarius Commune 4-E (Hadi, Akiron Zadit, Jason O'Hara, Agara Daughter of Bator, Gofibidanpova, Nasir Xiangling, M'tr P'met T'Minva, all legal parents of the Officer and thus required listing). Education: Starfleet Academy (Class of 2366), Starfleet School of Intelligence (Class of 2368)

Service Record: [CLASSIFIED] Ensign (designation "Informant Remus") aboard Deep Space 9 (2371), Lieutenant (designation "Federation Attache") on Qo'nos during the Klingon-Cardassian War (2372). [DECLASSIFIED] Lieutenant as Intelligence Consultant aboard Khitomer Orbital 3 (2379), Lieutenant Commander U.S.S. Tubman (Present)

Background Story: Born (and orphaned) on ISC Aquarius 12 by pirate raiders, raised by parents' unorthodox multi-species "group marriage" commune, exposing officer to many cultures alien to his own at a young age. An invaluable and insightful operative in numerous debacles regarding Klingon, Romulan, and Orion diplomatic procedures and intelligence acquisition throughout the 2370s. Moved on to less immersive work post-marriage to Doctor Gavvrok, both have transferred from Khitomer Orbital 3 to the U.S.S. Tubman. [CLASSIFIED] Officer has received instructions to discreetly keep a watchful eye out for Maquis activity. As well as to report significant shifts in politics indicated by refugee rumor mills.

Personality Profile: The only species this Officer struggles to get along with is his own. It is not that he disregards his heritage and Surak's teachings, but rather has a markedly nuanced interpretation of them. There is a noticeable malleability to the way the commander engages with other species, subtly adopting their mannerisms without showing his hand. However, the commander struggles to seek out necessary help. He has displayed symptoms of Vulcan PTSD and Cleithrophobia in the past, but his husband (and concurrently, Chief Medical Officer) has reported improvement since the transfer. It is to the relief to officers who personal know him that he has married a Doctor.

Addendum: The commander would like it to be known he considers Admiral Sulu a personal hero, and has a fascination with pirates of all eras and cultures, aesthetically, not ethically.

Physical Profile: Short by Vulcan male standards, unusual haircut and choice in facial hair (colloquially known as "The Riker") compared to the Vulcan mainstream but well within Starfleet safety codes.

I can tell you have no experience in this regard; ideally, no, you don't do any of those things - they are too elaborate to keep track of easily, and far too readily contradicted, which actually becomes a liability.

Instead, you should be keeping things as close to the truth as possible and only changing up the essentials; honestly, don't try to change your name, because if somebody does recognize you or you don't respond to your alias immediately (or worse, you respond to your real name when nobody's talking to you), you're in the shit. The only time you should be using an alias is for short-term disposable covers, for when you need to be untraceable after the fact; the short-term cover is used for things which may draw attention or incur a reputation that you'd want to shed. It doesn't need to be water tight, and it would ideally be fluid, so that or can be recycled if necessary, for use in a different situation.

Do you have any idea how many Starfleet Officers have done a brief stint with Intelligence, even if it's just for one mission? Chief O'Brien took at least one such mission to Farius Prime, and Dax and Worf took a joint mission to Soukara to retrieve a Cardassian Defector (this was not Worf's only rodeo with intelligence either).
