Charlie McCullen

Charles McCullen was born into Starfleet. His parents serve, his grandparents served, and his great-grandparents were among the first to serve. There was little doubt that both he and his two siblings would sign up. By the age of twelve, he was annoying his captain by taking turns, supervised of course, at the helm. By the age of fifteen, he was a cadet-ensign serving part-time on the alpha shift.

McCullen graduated from Starfleet academy after only two years, having completed much of the coursework and testing aboard ship. At age 18, he was assigned to the USS Xavier, an ageing Defiant-class cruiser. At age 24 he was an officer in the Klingon Defense Forces. At age 26, he is ready to start the next step in his career.

Lieutenant Commander T’Prin, analysing counsellor, report on Lieutenant Charles McCullen:

Lieutenant McCullen has an almost pathological need to prove himself and suffers from deep-rooted anxiety and impostor syndrome which he often masks, fairly effectively, with a grin and a joke. This seems to be the result of fear that others have the perception that, as his mother is an admiral and his father a captain, he has gained his position through influence rather than merit. Under pressure, Lieutenant McCullen performs admirably and stress tends to have a focusing effect. The lieutenant’s ability to compartmentalise and manage difficult emotions is sufficient for a human of his age. His ability to convey information in a direct and clear manner is sufficient.

Socially, Lieutenant McCullen is adept at distraction and redirection, tending to avoid deeper connections and social interactions. He prefers to project an image of a flippant, casual jester and has a tendency to hide or mask more serious thoughts and emotions. This stems from a fear of loss which requires further study but is outwith the remit of this analysis.

It is my conclusion that Lieutenant McCullen is fit for duty.
