Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Destiny is one who keeps others at a distance. The product of parents who had little time for her, she seemed to learn all the wrong lessons growing up regarding forming close, lasting bonds. Every marriage has ended in disaster and it is only now that she is finally(!) figuring out that maybe, just maybe, the fault lies in her and not her former spouses. Destiny is a workaholic, driven to perfection and expects no less in her subordinates. While she is not a very good socializer she is well acquainted with the mores and customs and can fake it through the most boring social function. Despite her inability to form close social bonds by some miracle there are a handful of people who are willing to call Destiny their friend…just not too loudly. Destiny has upon more than one occasion been called out on her sometimes questionable ethical outlook regarding medicine. While she would never knowingly violate her Hippocratic Oath or participate or conduct inhumane medical experiments, the thought of benefiting from the results of such experiments has crossed her mind. |

| Ambitions | Destiny’s ambitions were to ascend to the top of the medical profession, especially in research; Starfleet was simply a stepping stone to that goal. When recalled during the Dominion War she curiously found her motives switching to something more altruistic and selfless. It is a sensation she has found quite disquieting. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Destiny is a cutthroat gambler, excelling at poker, blackjack, Hearts, Gin Rummy, and Bridge. She is also a fair hand at different casino games, especially Dabo. Any ship she is on there is sure to be a card game running. |
| Personal History | The product of a tryst between a Marine Archeologist and an opera diva, Destiny found herself attempting to live up to her name. From a young age she felt almost obligated to take on seemingly impossible tasks for someone her young age. At first it was in an attempt to garner her indifferent parents’ attention, then seemingly to spite them. She ultimately chose Starfleet as a means to advance her medical career because it would get her as far away from her parents as physically possible…not that they seemed to care. Destiny excelled in her studies and upon graduation from Starfleet Medical her career moved right along. She checked off boxes as achieved accolades for her medical accomplishments even as she learned how to play the political games within Starfleet to advance her career. Along the way she engaged in numerous failed sexual and romantic relationships culminating in a series of unhappy marriages as she found herself incapable of providing what emotional need her partners required. It seemed she had inherited whatever it was that caused her parents to be whom they were. After her last disastrous marriage and sensing a slow but steadily increasing inertia in her career Destiny quit Starfleet for a position at Li Shizhen Hospital on Mars. She quickly rose to prominence but after Starfleet it felt more like being a large fish in a shrinking pond. Then the Dominion War broke out and Destiny received the news her former husband Callum had died as a result. His death unexpectedly hit hard and she discovered her feelings for him had run far, far deeper than she had wanted to admit, and one of the reasons she had left Starfleet had been the wreckage of their marriage. She soon abandoned her position at the hospital and signed up with Starfleet once more, regardless of any professional fallout. By the end of the Dominion War Destiny found herself unsure of what to do next. Politics was an unsatisfying game, that left simply…being a good doctor. And to her surprise perhaps that was more than enough… |
