Ambitions Damien is a bit aimless. He wants to do his best at whatever task he’s involved in, but he doesn’t know where to go next.
Hobbies & Interests Damien is an avid reader, but he does not particularly enjoy reading alone. He much prefers a library or social setting, where people can read and occasionally talk, but otherwise just be in each other’s company. He’s an excellent storyteller and loves to spin yarns for his friends and has volunteered at hospitals telling stories to children.

He goes to the gym, but usually reads or listens to audiobooks on the cardio or weight machines. He doesn’t usually engage in team sports, but he’ll try anything once and is competitive once he’s doing it.

He loves camping and walking in nature. He knows enough about the natural world to survive while camping and foraging, but is by no means an expert.

Personal History Damien Maillet is the eldest child and only son of Florian and Claudie. The family, which later included his four younger sisters, lived on Earth in the outskirts of Paris, France.

The young Damien was always good with his ear and his voice. He could sing passably well but his better skill was his oration. He could entertain his sisters for hours with his stories. It was clear from a young age as well that he was very good with languages, learning English aka “Federation Standard”, German, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian, followed quickly by Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and later as a teen Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite.

Career development officers at Damien’s school suggested he should apply to Starfleet Academy to make use of his ear and tongue in alien communication. He got in and spent four years learning how to be an effective Communications Officer. He added Deltan and Klingon to his language portfolio. He also discovered that he could get very lonely in the absence of his parents and sisters, so he tried to stay social as much as he could.

He spent his Ensign years as a junior comms officer aboard USS Daring and then was an Assistant Chief aboard USS Shiloh. His knowledge of the Klingon language helped the Shiloh avoid destruction at the hands of a D6 Cruiser in 2264, as he and his team had decoded the Klingon ship’s comms system and worked around the Klingons’ plans.

In 2265, he was promoted and assigned as Chief Communications Officer on Deep Space K-9.
