Biographical Information:
Attitude is fairly laid back & easy going. He gets along with just about everyone ("I give everyone a chance."), unless a person has crossed him
or someone he cares about. Even then he's
civil, but often avoids the person
or "cold shoulder's" them. He's good at immediately dealing with problems as
they arise without too much emotion, then moving on, nearly never giving a
backward glance unless he knows that the situation's knowledge will be needed later on. He doesn't let all the troubles of the world (or his own) bother him
too much. "It's just a waste of energy," he often says, if there's nothing
that can be done right away. His ability to "move on" often leaves others to
think that he doesn't care about the problem, but it's often just the
opposite.
Born on Trillus Prime, Anj Tudyk grew up with a fairly normal childhood. Both
parents teachers, they noticed a slight talent for spacial acuity in his early
years. Encouraged by this seemingly newfound talent, Tudyk tried to get his
hands on any flight simulator he could.
At 15 years old, he got the chance of a lifetime when a friend of his father
(a Starfleet Academy flight teacher) got him some time on an Academy flight
simulator. Feeling rather cocky, he tried to do the mission with as much flair
as possible to impress the teacher. Unfortunately he failed the mission
miserably, "killing" himself & two other crewmembers. The teacher said the one
thing that would change his life: "We don't need hot dogs like you in
Starfleet." Severely depressed still a week later, Tudyk resolved to combine
the best of what he wanted (to be a pilot) & the "hot dogging" he loved to do.
Star Fleet Academy:
Tudyk graduated Starfleet Academy with good grades (not perfect, but good)
in the command track with an emphasis on Conn Operations. His first posting
wouldn't have lasted long, due again his love of flair, if it weren't for
Tudyk pushing the ship into very odd maneuvers that ended up saving the ship
in combat early on in the posting. His Vulcan CO noted in his permanent record
that Tudyk's operating skills are "quite varied, possibly dangerous, but
unique enough to give him some latitude"; then ordered the inertial dampeners
& structural integrity upgraded.
Though he was well liked, Tudyk decided to move on to another ship to increase
his abilities. He did serve a brief stint on a Steam runner Class vessel,
which he enjoyed very much due to it's low profile & ability to "squeeze thru"
situations other ships can't.
General Attitude:
Being Trill, Tudyk went through all the steps to become joined, but has yet to
be selected. He would like the honor of sharing lifetimes with a symbiant, but
is sometimes nervous about just how much of himself will "disappear" once
joined & what new feelings & habits will surface.
One thing that does occupy his mind is the need to have a family. Anj feels
that life just isn't complete without a mate & children.
He has an affinity for bladed & staff weapons, which has led him to develop a
liking for Klingon culture. Tudyk likes to spend his spare time in quiet
activities, such as reading, building scale miniatures & holo-photography. He
also enjoys the outdoors & piloting small craft. He likes "ancient sci-fi"
movies from all cultures.
