Curious, engaging and mercurial – Jin Motonobu serves as the Chief Science Officer aboard the USS Astute.
A mind constantly fascinated with wonder of the universe and the quest for knowledge and understanding, Jin is an amiable officer who always manages to see a silver – lining in most situations. Although the Echelon – class vessel is rarely tasked with voyages of discovery beyond the Federation’s borders – Jin Motonobu wisely postulates that science is universal and the potential for discoveries almost infinite. It’s almost impossible not to discover something new if you are willing to look….
Appearance
Standing at only 5 feet 6 inches tall, somehow Jin manages to fill the space with his energy and enthusiasm.
A Nipponese man in his late 30’s he had tonsured shaved hair and a squat but athletic frame.
Personality
Jin is a deeply curious individual and his enthusiasm for the unknown and potential for discovery is somehow contagious.
He is bright and engaging and people find him very easy to relate to. In turn, Jin has a canny knack of explaining complex subjects in a way that everyone can readily relate to.
There are times when his curiosity can sometimes outpace his good judgement and he only has eyes for the science.
