Personality & Traits

General Overview		Outwardly, Rusl seems to be a somewhat stuffy, by-the-book, follow the rules gentleman type. He is quite polite and gentlemanly, and while quite intelligent and experienced, he is never arrogant or condescending. He is quite a relaxed man, having more than a century under his belt, and while he is still very much involved in his position as a Security Officer, prefers to instruct others in the ways of his craft.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Very intelligent and sharply observant, Rusl has a powerful mind. He can be awkward at times, particularly around women he finds interesting.
Ambitions		Rusl has no ambitions as such, other than to explore the Galaxy and see new things.
Hobbies & Interests		Rusl spends much of his time reading books from any culture he can get his hands on, though he has a particular loathing for Cardassian literature. He quite enjoys classical music, both recorded and live. He also likes to keep up with his fencing.

Personal History		Born on an outlying El-Aurian colony to parents that have been forgotten to history, Rusl was always a studious and clever boy, even if he wasn't always the most social. Rusl had more interest in problems and puzzles than traditional learning outcomes, and after graduating with fairly mediocre grades for a boy of his significant intelligence, he became a detective, opening his own Private Agency. After the Borg attack scattered his people, Rusl moved to Earth, where he re-opened his Agency. It continued for a few decades, slowly dwindling, until it simply became the case that nobody had need for a private investigator. Somewhat disenfranchised by the way crime had all but evaporated, Rusl began on a walkabout across the Galaxy. He got as far as the Gamma Quadrant over the space of roughly a century, picking up a litany of trinkets and stories along the way. When he finally returned to Earth, he made the rather rash decision to join Starfleet as a Security Officer. Not wishing to spend three years at the Academy, he joined as a non-Com, and after bootcamp, was assigned to the fleet. He initially found that his job was more akin to a bodyguard than that of an investigator, but once reassigned to Earth Spacedock, the intrigue and mystery he had loved as a younger man became prominent once again, and he was able to prove himself as an investigator. Over the years he continued his role on a variety of ships, and after a string of promotions, made the decision to attend OCS, and get his Officer's commission, figuring that if he had a long time left to live, he might as well expand the promotion ceiling. He was eventually reassigned to the USS Nimitz, having been an officer aboard the original vessel.
