Character Name: James Tiberius Kirk
Series: Star Trek Reboot (STXI)
Timeline: A few days after the end of the movie.
Background:
Link here~ I literally cannot say any more than what that says. However, much of fanon assumes that Kirk has an allergic reaction to several conventional cures or foods, due to Bones’ statement of “I haven’t seen a reaction this severe since med school”. Therefore, I play Kirk as having allergic reactions to: shellfish, the Melvaran mud flea vaccine (in movie), and sulfa drugs (drugs that contain sulfonamide - ones containing sulfates and sulfites are chemically different and do not affect him).
Spoken / written languages: English, spoken and written. He knows ‘where is the bathroom’ and several curse words in various Earth and alien languages.
Abilities: Kirk scored ‘off the charts’ on his aptitude tests, and Captain Pike asks him if he likes being a “genius-level repeat offender”; these assertions support the idea that Kirk’s intelligence levels are extremely high. He was top of his class in survival strategies and tactical analysis, and assistant instructor in advanced hand to hand combat, so he’s smart, a good tactician, and very capable in a fight. (In the movie, he’s fighting Romulans, who are stronger than humans - the fact that he was able to defeat several, however strenuous, is significant.) He successfully wrote a program to rewrite the Kobayashi Maru test, and due to his high intellect and profession of choice, means he is very good with computers, and, once understanding of older tech, capable with those as well. He’s also a good shot with a phaser, and good at driving a stick shift :>
Items: His Starfleet-issued communicator, which contains his universal translator, his captain’s shirt and undershirt, pants, and boots. That’s it for now.
Third Person Sample (415 words): It’s the wait that gets to him.
Jim Kirk does well in situations of action, situations that require analyses and assessment, quick reactions and even quicker decisions. He doesn’t necessarily need to fight, though he’ll never back down from one.
Of course, this is a fight too - just not exactly the type he’s used to, something that doesn't reward quick action. And it includes waiting, which he hates, as he mentioned before. He leans back in his chair, arms crossed, squashing the urge to tap his foot against the floor as he waits for his opponent to make the next move.
It doesn’t help that this battle is chess, and his opponent is Spock.
Spock is unreadable, inscrutable right now. Kirk’s trying to get past his masks, trying to read the little tics in his expressions on the bridge, but right now, he can’t see anything. Spock’s poker face - or in this case, chess face - as he examines the board after Kirk’s move is rock solid.
He’s already having second thoughts about moving his rook when Spock reaches out, picks up his bishop, and moves to take his rook. At the same time, the Vulcan smoothly announces “Check.”
Jim looks down at the chess board to see the bishop threatening his king, and sucks in a little bit of air, puffing his cheeks out. Its not a unblockable move - he could take the bishop, move his king, move a piece to intercept - but he wants to make sure he’s not going to get caught in some kind of gambit of Spock’s making.
His hand is reaching for the king, thinking he’s got nothing to worry about, when he notices that if he moves it, Spock’s got several pieces in play - long distance ones, but dangerous none the less - that could take him out. He pauses, looking critically over the board, before he spots a knight and moves it into play to block the bishop threatening his king.
Several moves later, he’s fallen into one of Spock’s gambits anyway, and has to concede the loss with a rueful grin. He feels disappointed that he’s lost, but he lasted a fair amount of time against his First officer, and, well, they’re still trying to get used to each other, how they work. They’ve had a few brilliant moments already, and just as many moments where Kirk felt like he was bashing his head against a brick wall.
So he simply congratulates him on the win, and keeps his grin on.
This battle isn’t over yet.
First Person Sample: Captain’s Log, presumed stardate 2258.51
When I went to bed last night, I was on the Enterprise. When I woke up this morning, I was in a room that was definitely not the captain’s quarters.
After my initial assessment of the cabin I found a communicator, possibly an older Earth model, as well as a room key, and found out that apparently, I’m on a ship, an older model cruise line. It looks like its out at sea, possibly Earth’s sea, but I can’t verify that for sure.
I think someone beamed me here. I was relieved of my phaser; my communicator won’t transmit a signal, or tell me where we are, though the log function seems to work just fine, leading me to believe there might be a jamming signal in place.
I’m going to try to figure out this other communicator before I leave the room. I’ll try to keep this log updated.
End log.
Preferred Quarters: Anywhere’s fine~
