Brief Back Story on Your Character: Skinner grew up in Manchester, England, with his parents and young sister. He didn't aspire to anything in particular, and wasn't sure what he was going to do when he needed to get a job. He worked in a rundown bar, until his father convinced him to do something worthwhile with himself. Having had a hand at fixing up machines, Skinner decided to sign up to Starfleet, taking up engineering. Skinner passed with flying colours and left the Academy for the USS Galaxy. While there, the Chief of Engineering took an instant dislike for him, unimpressed by his relaxed and jokey attitude. The Chief had Skinner dismissed from the ship, after causing damage to the shields when trying to improve them, that took well over 2 months to repair. Skinner was sent to a medical starbase, to live out the remains of his career with doing routine checkups. Skinner pushed past this though, and ran as many updates to the system as he could, impressing the senior officers on the base. When the Chief Engineer retired from service, the Captain of the base promoted Skinner to the position. Having headed the engineers at the base for a long time, providing good work, rumours are about of a new position coming up.
Character Personality (list a brief description of their traits, morals, etc): Skinner is a relaxed man, often liking a good joke. He likes to get on with his work, rather not liking to be hassled when he's in the middle of something.

Sample Post (Must be at least 4 paragraphs long and contain two lines of dialogue from your character):
I sit underneath a control panel, the circuits hanging out, while I fiddle with a circuit board. It sparks as I adjust it with my tools and I frown, frustration getting the better of me.
"Come on you stupid piece of-" I growl, hitting it in frustration.
I shove the circuit board back in and adjust some of the wires, checking for any particular damage.
"Skinner."
I pull myself out from underneath the panel, stressed with the constant interruptions.
"Look, if something's broken, tell me when I've fixed this, now le-" I blurt out before looking up at the Captain of the Base.
I leap to my feet quickly.
"Captain."
"Repairs going well?"
"They're...getting there, Sir."
"Well, hand them over to somebody else."
"What's happening?"
"Admiral Picard needs you on Earth, you're being reassigned."
I look at him slightly confused, but he just offers his hands to the door.
"Better go pack."
