| Strengths & Weaknesses | Erica has a strong sense of duty and loyalty to Starfleet. When the Borg crisis incident happened, she drew from the incident to become a stronger person emotionally. She reached out to those who were hurting. Struggling with her own demons, she found herself tinkering in the corridors and Jeffries tubes assisting other operations personal on the USS Zodiac, to avoid people as much as possible. Her greatest weakness is the fact she is young and at times a little naïve. She finds it hard to trust in the emotions of others, and often tends to peak into their mind, to see how she can help them. She tends to keep herself, lost in her work. To avoid uncomfortable situations. Beyond ignoring personal, in the past Erica had some issues with mind probing. Starfleet has warned her about mind probing without permission, and since joining she has restrained from mind probing, but during the crisis, she felt a sense of duty, to get the Starfleet officers back on track and help them through the crisis. Her application to Starfleet was met with criticism, mainly because she abused her telepathic abilities when she was a young teenager. Her parents placed their reputation on the line for her, and her loyalty to family was able to keep her in bay. |
|
| Ambitions | To help as many people as she can and to get married and to start her own family. Unlike other officers, Erica has no desire to ever become Captain of a starship. |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | Erica was raised to like playing racquetball, her father and her where very competitive. Beyond that sport, Erica has not really shown any other interest, beyond helping people. She is hoping serving on a starship will open her mind up to new hobbies and interests. |
| Personal History | Early History She grew up in a middle class neighborhood. She was raised in a happy family home with two loving parents. Once upon a time, in the enchanting world of Betazed, Erica Solwick II and Rylan Chartrand were bound together by a genetic bond at a tender age. As children, they eagerly anticipated the day when they would be united in marriage. Erica, especially, cherished the dream of becoming Rylan's perfect wife and the mother of their children. In her innocent heart, she believed in fairy tales and saw her future as a blissful journey. However, as they grew older, the connection between Erica and Rylan began to fade. He drifted apart, as he felt they no longer kept in touch as they once did. The vibrant visions of their life together remained only in Erica's imagination, as she yearned for a love story that seemed to slip through her fingers. Graduation day approached, marking a significant milestone in both their lives. Erica prepared herself for the grand and anticipated moment when she would be united with her bondmate. But to her dismay, she received devastating news - Rylan had rejected the bond. The pain pierced her heart deeply, leaving her feeling lost and shattered. In the midst of her sorrow, Erica sought solace in the only thing that remained constant in her life - her unwavering faith. Growing up in a deeply religious family, she turned to her beliefs for guidance and strength. Determined to find a new path forward, Erica made a life-altering decision. Driven by her scientific curiosity and a desire for a fresh start, Erica enrolled in Starfleet Academy. She felt drawn to Bajor, a planet known for its openness to religion, and saw it as an opportunity to rebuild her life. Leaving behind her shattered dreams of Rylan, she set out on a journey of personal growth and discovery. At Starfleet Academy, Erica thrived, immersing herself in her studies and embracing the wonders of the universe. Her scientific pursuits became a source of solace, allowing her to channel her emotions into a passion for exploration. She found herself surrounded by like-minded individuals, forming new friendships and connections that helped her heal. As the years passed, Erica's faith and scientific knowledge intertwined, creating a unique perspective that shaped her journey.

In the vast expanse of the universe, Erica discovered that her true destiny was not simply to be a wife or a mother, but to be a beacon of hope and inspiration to others. Her journey became a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the strength to forge her own path, proving that even in the face of shattered dreams, new beginnings and unimaginable wonders await those who dare to believe in themselves. Academy days Once upon a time, in a small town called Solaceville, lived a young woman named Erica. She had a peaceful upbringing, being raised by her loving parents alongside her four siblings - two girls and two boys. The Solwick family held strong religious beliefs, and Erica embraced these values wholeheartedly. Throughout her high school years, Erica focused on her studies and didn't pay much attention to dating. She had a vision of a future where she would connect with someone who shared her religious devotion, someone like Rylan. She imagined what he might be like, hoping that their paths would intertwine. However, Erica's hopes were shattered when she discovered that Rylan had rejected their potential bond after they completed high school. He had chosen to attend Starfleet Academy, while Erica had assumed he would stay on Earth. Undeterred, Erica followed her passion for Starfleet and enrolled in the science program at Bajor, a location known for its openness towards religion. Erica had come to terms with Rylan's rejection, determined to lead a normal life despite the lingering trust issues it left behind. Yet, destiny had a different plan in store for her. On a casual Saturday night, her roommate convinced her to go on a double date. Reluctantly, Erica agreed, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. As fate would have it, Erica found herself face-to-face with Rylan on that very evening. The instant their eyes met, a spark ignited between them, undeniable and powerful. They both felt an inexplicable connection, as if their paths were meant to converge once more. Days turned into nights as Erica and Rylan spent countless hours talking and getting to know each other again. With every conversation, their bond grew stronger, and the trust that Erica had lost began to mend. It became clear that the connection they shared was real, and their hearts yearned to be together. As they delved deeper into their shared interests and aspirations, Erica and Rylan discovered that their love for Starfleet and their religious beliefs were not mutually exclusive. Instead, they found a beautiful harmony between the two, strengthening their connection and understanding. With each passing day, Erica and Rylan realized that sometimes, life takes unexpected turns, leading us to exactly where we are meant to be. Their journey was a testament to the power of second chances and the resilience of the human heart. And so, Erica and Rylan embraced their newfound love, cherishing every moment they spent together. As they looked towards the future, they knew that their bond was not only real but also unbreakable, a testament to the power of love and the beauty of destiny's mysterious ways. Meeting Rylan Chartrand In the vast halls of Starfleet Academy, Erica was determined to move forward with her life, leaving behind the shattered dreams of her broken bond with Rylan. Fate, however, had other plans in store for her. One fateful day, as Erica navigated the bustling corridors, she unexpectedly crossed paths with Rylan. Their chance encounter led to a double date, where Erica discovered that despite everything, there was still a lingering connection between them. Conflicted and torn by the past, Erica grappled with whether she could trust Rylan again after his rejection. Yet, the undeniable pull between them persisted, hinting that perhaps the bond they once shared was not entirely severed. Curiosity and hope tugged at Erica's heart, prompting her to engage in conversations with Rylan. As they spent nights talking, their discussions shifted from the pain of the past to the possibilities of the future. Their conversations delved into their dreams, aspirations, and the reasons that led them both to choose Starfleet. With each passing night, Erica discovered that not only were their hearts still entwined, but their minds were incredibly compatible as well. Their intellectual connection grew stronger, bridging the gap that had once separated them. Days turned into a week, and during that time, Erica and Rylan explored their newfound connection. One magical evening, under a blanket of stars and with the soothing sound of the ocean as their backdrop, they shared their first kiss. It was a moment of vulnerability and hope, a symbol of their willingness to give their bond a second chance. As their lips met, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only their shared history and the promise of a future. Erica realized that the path forward wouldn't be easy, but she was willing to take the risk, guided by the belief that love and understanding could triumph over past hurts. From that night onward, Erica and Rylan embarked on a journey of rediscovery, exploring the depths of their connection and building a bridge of trust between them. They nurtured their bond, cherishing every moment they spent together. As they supported each other through the challenges of Starfleet Academy, their love grew stronger, rooted in the shared dreams they once thought were shattered. In the end, Erica discovered that fate had a way of bringing people back together, allowing them to heal and rewrite their story. Under the starlit sky, overlooking the serene shoreline, Erica and Rylan found solace in each other's arms, knowing that their love had the power to overcome any obstacle that lay ahead. |
