| Personal History | Here's a revised personal history for Erin Quinn Cussin: Early Life and Family Erin Quinn Cussen was born on the remote colony world of New Taurus to a family of scientists. Her parents, Dr. Maeve Quinn and Dr. Ronan Cussin, were renowned experts in their fields. Erin grew up with four brothers: Ryan (33), Liam (35), Ansel (32), and Finn (22). Her childhood was marked by a love for learning, exploration, and adventure. Education and Starfleet Career Erin attended Starfleet Medical Academy, where she met her future husband, Trento Dal, a joined trill. They fell deeply in love, and their relationship became a source of strength and comfort for Erin. After graduating, Erin served as a medical officer on several Starfleet vessels, including the USS Endeavour and the USS Horizon. Her experience on away missions and in high-pressure situations honed her skills as a capable and confident medical officer. Personal Tragedy Tragedy struck when Trento and their little girl were killed in a shuttle accident transport. Erin was 32 at the time, and the loss devastated her. She threw herself into her work to cope with the grief, earning a reputation as a brilliant and dedicated medical officer. Personality and Traits Erin is a complex and dynamic individual, driven by a strong sense of duty, compassion, and loyalty. Her experiences have shaped her into a skilled and confident medical officer, but also one who is not afraid to challenge authority and stand up for what she believes in. Erin's reserved nature can make her appear aloof, but she is deeply empathetic and cares profoundly for her patients. Flaw and Incident Erin's history is not without its flaws. During an away mission on the USS Horizon, Erin disobeyed orders to rescue a trapped crew member. Her actions resulted in the successful rescue, but also put her own life at risk. The incident earned her a reprimand and a temporary suspension of her duties. This experience has left a mark on her record and serves as a reminder of the importance of following protocol. Current Status At 32, Erin is a seasoned and respected medical officer, seeking new challenges and opportunities. Her application to join a new Starfleet vessel is driven by a desire for a change, a new ship, new crew, new mission. Being around people she knew and familiar surroundings were comforting and helped her healing, but now she is ready to move on and to follow her passion to explore the unknown, to push the boundaries of medical knowledge, and to make a meaningful difference wherever she goes. |
