History
From an early age, Eric excelled at leadership. His father recognized this and sent him to Starfleet Academy, where Eric thrived. Impulsive and reckless at times, Eric earned sharp reprimand on occasion from his instructors, but his keen intellect and dynamic leadership skills kept him afloat through training. His instructors expected him to study command, but Eric’s interest in and concern for people fueled him to study counseling. After graduating from the Academy, Eric was quickly assigned to a starship. His father then revealed a family secret to him, which caused Eric to estrange himself from his father, though he keeps in touch with his younger sister, Kimberly.

Eric is outgoing, warm-hearted, passionate, and impulsive. He is good with people—both counseling them and leading them. He is skilled at making split-second decisions and thrives on challenges. He enjoys giving advice and is an excellent judge of character. At times he can be headstrong and reckless, though his intentions are usually selfless. When it comes to the ladies, he is something of a show-off. He likes to impress. He is a fiercely loyal friend. Ironically, he sometimes has trouble with expressing his feelings, tending to hide them under bravado. He is good at analyzing the feelings of others, but is uncomfortable at times with his own.
