Bravo Fleet
Summary
Ramón Gutierrez is a Starfleet counselor assigned to USS Fresno following the Vaadwaur conflict in 2402. He began his career in Starfleet specializing in Security. But after experiencing the horrors and trauma of both the Battle of Wolf 359 and then the Dominion War, he found that the best way for him to process and move on from those events was to talk to other survivors who were having similar issues coping with their ordeals. This ultimately led to an unexpected pivot in his career from Security Officer to Counselor.
Appearance
Despite a stature of 5′ 6″, Ramón nevertheless manages to cut an imposing looking figure. Long days spent outdoors under the sun have etched a craggy, scowled face. His hair is often professionally pulled back, but when it’s not it falls in greasy black clumps to rest at his shoulders. A tidy uniform hides a plethora of tattoos along his chest and arms that would make an Orion Syndicate soldier blush. Long hours of physical training, a habit kept up even after his change in career focus, has chiseled out a wide, muscular tone to his frame.
Personality
Ramón Gutierrez is abrasive, irascible, and fairly foul of mouth. His bedside manner could be considered lacking subtlety and grace. He wields his words as though they were a blunt weapon to make his point. Despite such qualities that would surely otherwise imply the markings of a poor counselor, his direct and earnest mannerisms nevertheless somehow manage to overcome any such misgivings and win over the trust of those who seek his help and advice. Ramón is a book laid open, and he makes it quite clear exactly where he stands. But by the same token, he has no qualms about directly calling out another person’s bluff or BS. Counselor Ramón Gutierrez calls it like it is, and he expects no less from everyone else in turn.
