Jasmine Hill

Appearance
She has long, straight, blonde hair. She occasionally dyes a strand of the front of her hair to match an outfit or for the sheer fun of it, she does this on multiple occasions and tries to make sure it doesn’t stand out too much next to her outfit or uniform. She has black eyes in all betazoid fashion, soft facial features, and stands at 6 feet. She wears a lot of sweaters in her free time along with some jeans. She does her hair in a tail to avoid that it’ll get in the way when she’s busy. Otherwise she’ll wear it straight. Her left arm is cybernetic, it’s a light-weight alloy that is mostly hollow. There is a small door in the side of it so that she can store medical supplies in case of an emergency. She can remove her arm at any given time by pressing a release button on the shoulder. The arm enhances her left arm's mobility, strength and reaction-speed. It has neural receptors so that she can still feel, though these can be disabled in case of an emergency. (Like picking something up from within a fire or when the arm gets shot.) Parts can be easily removed or added if needed, such as new components like a built-in hypospray injector.

Personality
She’s quite the cheerful person, and stays calm in most situations. She never tries to seek attention or a promotion, she is already happy with the fact she helped someone. She never asks for stuff/favours unless she really can’t do/get it herself. She tries to get the job done to the best of her abilities and helps anyone who needs help, even if it’s way out of her league. Furthermore, the only thing she truly desires is for people to be happy around her. She isn’t asking for friendship, but she will ask you what’s wrong in order to be there for you.

Ambitions
She has a massive ambition for the piano and hopefully, one day, she’ll be able to give a concert to different people around the federation. Besides all that she never wants to make it up high for a few reasons: first, as a nurse you’ll be able to help a lot of people in both your spare time and in sickbay. Second: the amount of duties that come with higher ranks is a bit overwhelming for her.

Morals

 * The mind may talk you into things you’ll regret later, hence follow your heart.
 * You’re never truly alone as long as you hold on to memories.
 * Keep your expectations low, that way you’ll never be disappointed.

History
Jasmine Hill, born on Earth in the british countryside. Her mother is a Betazoid, her father a human. She didn’t have any siblings at the time and lived a simple life with her family. When she was 4 she got a little brother named Jordan Hill. They were quite close to one another, spending most of their time together. Her parents were delighted they got along well and even more so when they saw that Jasmine got along with everyone she met. This already gave Jasmine a certain feeling of certainty that she could make a friendship with everyone she met. Of course, this feeling is quite premature seeing she also made some enemies in the future.

At age 6 she got quite interested in music and wanted to play the guitar, but it was a bit too complex for her so she started playing the piano at age 7. She started off with simple songs and became quite fluid over time. Giving small concerts to her family and friends to show her confidence in her abilities. She wanted to show she could do what people expected of her, trying to prove herself. When she became 8, her parents wanted to celebrate her birthday with a nice dinner in town. On their way there they got in an accident thanks to a malfunction in the propulsion drive. Everyone was ok apart for Jasmine who got thrown through the window, shattering her arm due to impact at high velocity against a tree. Her parents and brother were worried like crazy, rushing over to see if she was ok. She clearly wasn’t seeing her arm had basically turned into mush. The pain she felt that day was excruciating and felt like the sun had exploded on her.

The truth was that this was sabotage caused by an enemy that her father had. They wanted to get him out of the way because her father was bothering their ‘business.’ They planted a very discreetly placed virus in the drive of the car to make it seem like a natural error. It was set to malfunction near the treeline to cause her father to fly through the windscreen like Jasmine did, but instead of his arm, he would hit his head. They only didn’t take in account that it was Jasmine’s birthday and that she was sitting in the front seat that day.

She was transported to the hospital and got treated, her arm amputated due to the fact there was no sense in recovering it anymore. Though there was a slight issue, due to an error in a hypospray, she didn’t get fully sedated. When her arm got cut off, she felt every little thing. She wanted to scream, to cry, to run away. But she couldn’t, her body didn’t respond and her legs wouldn’t move. But in those few hours of pure torture, she realised that NO-ONE was allowed to endure that pain ever again.

Once she was back to senses, she was terrified seeing her arm was gone. Though shortly after her parents walked in with a gift, it was a cybernetic arm to replace her lost one. Jasmine didn’t want it at first seeing it only brought back that ever lasting pain from the procedure, but over time she thought it was actually pretty cool to have a metal arm. Though secretly, deep down, she still carries those feelings of pure horror and suffering. This event that took place in less than 24 hours caused her to understand suffering and pain in a way no-one else understood within her family. She never told anyone that the hypo malfunctioned, nor does she intend to tell anyone anytime soon.

At age 12 she became fascinated with the medical world. This was for 2 reasons, one: the doctor that helped her at age 8 became a good friend of hers, he couldn’t have known that the hypo malfunctioned, so she didn’t blame him, and she wanted to explore his work in greater detail. The second reason was the fact that she absolutely loved helping people, and what better way to do that then become a medical officer? Hence why she read up on medical sciences and xenobiology.

At this age she also got into athletics. She started out at the bottom but slowly climbed up to town champion after a few years. She excelled in spear throwing, 200 meter sprint and far jumps. Though she didn’t compete in tournaments. Yes they are fun and all, but she didn’t want fame and glory. She did this for fun, not to make a name for herself. Besides, she had better things to do than just throw spears. But it did prepare her for the following.

In those 4 years there has been some research about the accident she was in. This research concluded that there was a case of sabotage and not a malfunction. What the officer shouldn’t have told was that the person responsible was known with the corps. Out of curiosity she asked who this person was and got told their name and in what area they operate most of the time. Now even though she might’ve been 12, she couldn’t stand the thought of them harming another soul.

In the following years she asked around the city to see if they knew this person. Seeing she was always seen as the helpful little girl, they of course helped her. Around age 16, she found out the identity of the saboteur and got ready to approach him. She did something she has never done before and modified her arm so that it was more structurally sound, had a quicker response speed and packed more of a punch. She put on black jeans, a black sweater, put on some sunglasses and leather gloves, dyed her hair entirely black and headed out.

When she arrived at the location she called out their name, she was greeted by one man and 2 of his guards. They had a quick interaction before eventually the man drew a knife when he figured out she was the daughter of the man he wanted to kill. And what’s worse than death? Living with the loss of your child. Jasmine however was prepared and struck back, breaking 2 of his ribs with one punch and then got some distance between them. She knew this was wrong, very wrong. But this man needed to stand justice, one way or another. After a fight that lasted about 15 minutes, she defeated him. Her arm was badly damaged, she got stabbed in her leg and had cuts all over, but she survived. She then called the cops and let them do the rest, something she should’ve done from the start.

After this charade she kept the scar she got from getting stabbed in the leg, her parents upset she didn’t say anything and furious that she harmed that man to such an extent. Though the police thought differently about the case. She used her skills as being the good girl to get to her goal and caught a criminal they tried to catch for several years now. This changed her quite a bit. She knew that she shouldn’t have done this on her own and called the police straight away. But this man, this man caused her great suffering, a scar for life and pain she could never unfeel. This felt like the best course of action.

At age 17 she attended Starfleet academy, people got along with her with relative ease. Her teachers thought pretty greatly of her, when she found out they did she said one thing: “Don’t treat me any different because I’m your favorite. I’m just a student like all the others, I don’t seek fame, I seek education.” The teachers didn’t really know how to respond at first but went along with it. This caused her to be more dedicated towards her education. She never wanted fame, nor did she want to be spoken of highly with some admiral. She simply seeked education and didn’t want special treatment because she was slightly better than the rest.

The years that followed gave her great insight as to how people react in certain situations. She helped people in class quite a bit and even made some amazing friends along the way. Though in these years she also got bullied to some extent. This caused her to be a bit more insecure about herself and made it so that she stopped doing what she loved most for 2 years: playing piano. This impacted both her and her family a great deal. She’s done nothing more than hope that one day she could play for an entire audience. But in those years she thought she’d be better off in the gutter.

At age 20 she started to do some free-running around the campus to set her mind to something else, some of her friends joined in for the fun but had a hard time to keep up seeing Jasmine’s athletic background. She once got in an incident that involved her to jump from the roof of the campus and onto a flagpole, sliding down and landing gracefully on her feet. This gave her quite a bit of attention that she did not want, so she decided to practice her free-running on the holodeck from now on. In this year, the bullies she had been dealing with from day one, had graduated and hence disappeared from her life once and for all. She decided to pick up the piano again and even performed in a school concert to show those bullies who’s boss. At age 21 she graduated from the academy as a ensign and nurse. She was still doing athletics and free-running at the time, becoming quite the skilled person regarding the two skills.

Her first assignment on the USS Albion went pretty well, she had a few medical emergencies in which she stood her own and performed admirably well. One of these emergencies was a virus that wasn’t filtered out by the biofilters thanks to an error when the crew got transported back from an away mission. When the crew was infected and started to report to sickbay thanks to uncommon symptoms, she decided to act quickly. She immediately put every infected member in quarantine with permission of the CMO and put on a bio-suit, asking the rest of the staff to do the same. She then started to work on a vaccine and cure for the disease. After a day or 3, and 40 lives lost, she made a cure and cured the crew. Though when she got word she might be promoted for her actions, she kindly declined. She didn’t want to be promoted, not yet anyways. Even though she might’ve saved the crew, she didn’t want any gratitude for it. She did what was necessary and doesn’t think that preventing an outbreak is promotion worthy, especially when 40 people, good people, were lost. On the ship she kept doing her athletics and free-running on the holodeck and cargobays.

When she turned 25, Starfleet wanted to promote her to Lt. JG, again. She tried to decline again, but this time her friends told her that she should absolutely take the promotion. Eventually she still decided it and stayed as an ensign. She explained to the admiral that she didn’t want any promotion, she just wanted to help. Higher ranks would only cause her to get more tasks and duties, and that would cause her to be unable to help out others. This clearly upset the admiral a bit, Jasmine was a good officer and they really hoped to see her serving as a ship's doctor one day. But as for now, she’ll stay as an Ensign and help the crew as a nurse. One that does her job quite well.

When she got home at age 26, she found out her little brother Jordan was serving as a tactical officer on board a vessel in the Gamma Quadrant. She was happy for him, but at the same time she was terrified for the fact he might get hurt, or even worse, killed. This was because she didn’t want to lose her brother. She was quite close to him and didn’t want anything to happen to him. In the year that followed she simply spent her time playing piano, free-running and doing some acrobatics.

When she got a call about a position on board of the USS Arcadia as a nurse some time later, she was thrilled and immediately threw her name in the ring. She looked forward to helping others even more with her new assignment. And besides all the helping: new friends!
