Hi, everyone! I'm Eric. I'm 29 and live in the San Francisco Bay Area (and grew up here, too).
I'm actually not a new member; I joined Stonewall back during the launch of STO. About a year ago I ended up taking a break from the game, partly because my life got busy, but also partly just because I felt I'd done all I could in the game. However, I recently got an itch to come back. I'm a huge Trekkie, always have been, and the recent Star Trek 2 trailer sealed the deal.
I'm updating my game as I write this, so here here some tidbits about me:
-- I'm a scientist, first and foremost. I recently got my doctorate and am now conducting research into biomedical optics for my postdoc.
-- My hobbies (in addition to gaming and Star Trek) include martial arts and fitness, singing, and writing.
-- With regard to writing, I've actually written a few STO/Stonewall fiction pieces. In addition to the Stonewall stories (which I'm flattered and honored to see are still stickied!), I also wrote a series of stories about my main ship, the USS Pandora.
-- In addition to Star Trek, I'm also a massive Whovian. I can't wait for the Christmas special and the return of Oswin!
And I see Starbases are finally in the game! Good lord, I trust Stonewall's is the most fabulous of them all?
