| Physical Description | Keegan Dudley is a tall, solidly built man with the kind of frame that looks natural in a flight harness. Broad shoulders, strong arms, and a lean, athletic build from years of fighter training and high-G conditioning. His dark brown hair is kept regulation short on the sides with a bit more length on top. Sharp blue-grey eyes and a calm, focused expression that rarely changes even under pressure. He carries himself with quiet confidence and the slight residual tension of someone who spends most of his working hours ready to launch. |

| Hobbies & Interests | Restoring old Earth aircraft flight manuals and technical diagrams Long-distance running in the holodeck Quiet evenings with a book or music from 21st-century Toronto Occasional sparring sessions with the Marines Restoring old Earth aircraft flight manuals and technical diagrams (he gets weirdly excited about 20th-century Canadian bush plane schematics) Long-distance running in the holodeck while listening to extremely earnest 21st-century Toronto indie music Quiet evenings with a book… usually interrupted by him arguing with the characters out loud Occasional sparring sessions with the Marines (he claims it’s “just for cardio”) Collecting tiny model fighters and lining them up in perfect formation on his desk, then rearranging them when no one is looking Keeping a running mental list of the worst callsigns he’s ever heard and ranking them in order of pure embarrassment Attempting to teach the ship’s replicator how to make a proper Toronto-style peameal bacon sandwich (results have been mixed) Naming his personal PADDs after old Maple Leafs players and getting mildly offended when people don’t get the references |
History
| Personal History | Keegan Dudley was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Earth. Growing up near Pearson Spaceport, he spent much of his childhood watching shuttles and commercial craft come and go. His father, a commercial pilot, took him on short hops whenever possible, and by his mid-teens Keegan already knew he wanted to fly something faster and more dangerous. He entered Starfleet Academy in 2388 and specialised in the fighter pilot track. He graduated in 2392 and was assigned to the Rebel Combat Air Wing (TC). After solid performance and several successful border patrols, he received his promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade in early 2395 and was transferred to the USS Tomcat. |
