Personal History
Early Life/Pre-Starfleet Career:
Mika Kobayashi is the only daughter of Akiyama Kobayashi and Elena Kobayashi, both veterans of the Fleet. Born to parents who were always on duty, Mika grew up in a blazing fast environment punctuated with constant travels and different campuses. During her high school years, her parents thought that the constant moving would become a problem but her outgoing personality and natural charm made it easy for her to fit in wherever the family goes. Also, her height and basketball talents also helped in fitting in with the other youths. With interests in science and technology, the young Mika decided to take up mechanical engineering. Mika was an excellent student and she completed her course wih flying colors. Soon, Mika joined the ranks of the many young professionals with bright futures.
Life was good for Mika, that is, until disaster struck. While at a Federation Colony, Mika was inside an elevator when a massive earthquake struck. Everything turned to black but she was still concious. The horror that she experienced need no explanation. She was in pain and no one can hear her screams. Soon, conciousness slipped away. Luckily for Mika, she was immediately rescued but does not have any memory of it. The incident forever changed her life.
Days after the tragedy, Mika woke up in a medical facility. It turned out that she was rescued by a group of Starfleet Academy graduates. Mika's first instinct was to meet and thank her "rescuers" when all of a sudden, a sharp, cold feeling crept down her spine. Mika saw her reflection on a mirror and saw her now mechanical right arm.
Academy/Technical Academy (if Starfleet):
The life changing experience made Mika join the Starfleet Medical Academy. Mika knew that everything happened for a reason. Joining the academy is her way of paying it forward. With her proficiency in mechanical engineering and her need to further understand her new "limb", Mika focused on mechanical and biomechanical studies. Mika blended her love for science and technology with healthcare and medicine.
Her goal was simple. Be like those heroes from Starfleet who saved her. How? By joining Starfleet and saving others.

"Swish." Mika said to herself after tossing a crumpled paper cup into a nearby bin. "I guess those people who made you really know their engineering and biomechanics, huh?"
She was, obviously, talking to her artificial limb. A habit that she had developed since acquiring it. Yes, it's a hard habit to break.
Mika, now done with her cardio workout, made her way towards the benches to do her sets. It's there where she noticed an off duty crewman struggling with the so called "Ego Lift". The man was obviously not aware of the fact that he is doing hard to his body. This, though a common sight in the crew gym, never fails to trigger the "doctor" inside Mika.
Flashing a smile, Mika tried to grab the man's attention. It worked. Mika waited for him to finish his set before unleashing one of her most overused gym phrases:
"That's a damn good weight you got going there but I think it's a tad bit, a teeny-tiny bit, too heavy for you? Don't you think?" Said Mika, trying not to push the buttons of the man.
The man was having none of it. Mika's words actually made him add more weights to his already heavy bar. Mika sighed.
"Okay, so he's one of those types." Mika said to herself as she watched him carefully, she already has an idea on where it is going. "Just be careful, you don't want a torn pectoral muscle. Even with medical advancements, it takes quite awhile to fix."
"Sure miss. Who told you that? Your family doctor?" Said the man who proceeds to lay down on the bench to heave the massive weight up. Unfortunately, as predicted by the doctor, it was a "tad bit too heavy" for him and the weight slowly begins to go down, threatening to crush his chest.
That is, until the delicate but metallic right hand of the doctor, concealed with a glove and a long sleeve shirt, grabbed on to the bar and effortlessly pulled it up to re-rack it.
The man can't believe what just happened. Mika simply gave him a blink and a soft pat on the shoulder.
"Told ya. Trust me, I'm a doctor. So.... Can I do my set next?"
The bewildered man, without a word, wiped the bench down and gestured for the doctor to proceed.
"Hey doc, whatever supplement it is that you are having, I want it too!" The man said. Mika simply smiled and said:
"I'm all natural, well, almost."
Do you have previous experience with a role-play forum? Yes
What brought you to the Frontier? A simple google search.
Is there anything else you’d like to tell us? Just that I am rusty but trying to return to my old form.
