LT. (Jg) GARIN RISS
NAME: Garin Riss
GROUP: Trill (unjoined)
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 6'0''
WEIGHT: 175lbs
HAIR COLOUR: Brown
EYE COLOUR: Brown
AGE: 26
PERSONALITY AND LIKES:
Garin is a very outgoing and friendly person. He is rather effeminate, flamboyant, and casual. In
actuality, these traits aid him very well in his art as a diplomat.
STRENGTHS:
Garin has a talent for putting people at ease and lowering their defenses with his personality. He
also has a talent for tricking people into underestimating him. He uses all the personal
eccentricities in his arsenal to do what needs to be done. He's not above flirting his way into
getting a resolution, using threats to settle a dispute, or even using liquor as a tool. In spite of his
outward demeanor, Garin takes his job very seriously. He has a job to do, and as long as he
accomplishes it he doesn't worry about his tactics.
AMBITIONS:
Garin looks forward to someday seeing some kind of action or excitement and to become a
full-fledged, hot-shot Ambassador in his own right
BACKGROUND:
Garin Riss grew up on the Trill home world as an only child to a single mother. His
father died before Garin had any memory of him. For the most part he lived a normal
life. He wanted to become a psychologist, but found the study of science and medicine to
be rather boring. He delved into many different subjects until he finally found one that
he was naturally talented at- diplomacy.
SERVICE RECORD:
He attended Starfleet Academy and joined the Diplomatic Corps upon gaining his
commission. His career to date has been rather bland. His first assignment was that of a
junior aide at the Diplomatic Corps Headquarters. Garin hated this assignment, and the
mindless paper pushing that it offered. Then, he was posted as an assistant to a Vulcan
Ambassador assigned to mediate minor grievances inside the Federation. As this posting
progressed, he was given more responsibility and began to hone his own personal style -
much to the chagrin of his Vulcan superior.
