Summary

Commander Austin “AJ” Tindal is an experienced Officer known for his calm demeanor and diplomatic expertise. After joining Starfleet Academy at 18, he quickly rose through the ranks due to his negotiation skills, ultimately serving as Executive Officer on the USS Oberon. The tragic Frontier Day events in 2401, where he was the sole surviving Senior Officer, profoundly impacted him, leading to a small sabbatical period. Now in his early 40s, AJ commands the USS Edison with a meticulous yet compassionate leadership style, balancing high standards with genuine care for his crew.

Summary: AJ is a clean-cut, meticulously neat officer with sharp blue eyes and well-groomed brown hair touched with hints of gray. He carries himself with confidence, blending a polished appearance with a warm smile that puts others at ease. AJ’s tidy, organized nature reflects his disciplined approach to leadership, where he balances high expectations with genuine care for his crew.

Personality

AJ is a leader who believes in the power of potential. He’s determined, but he never loses sight of the human factor in those he leads. AJ pushes his crew to perfection, but he understands that mistakes are part of the journey. Instead of being a taskmaster, he’s the kind of leader who guides his team with a steady hand. He truly wants to see everyone reach their potential. His diplomatic background has taught him the importance of empathy, allowing him to earn not just the respect but also the trust of those who serve under him.

The events of Frontier Day, where AJ was the sole survivor among his Senior Officers on the USS Oberon, have left deep scars. The weight of that loss lingers, making him more introspective. AJ still leads, but he’s become more protective of his personal time, using it to process his grief and find peace. He’s approachable and cares deeply for his crew, but there’s a part of him that remains guarded. This balance between being a supportive leader and maintaining his own space is part of what makes AJ an effective leader.

History

Austin James Tindal was born and raised in the heart of Texas, where he learned the value of communication and negotiation from a young age. Growing up, he was always drawn to the stars and the mysteries they held, and as he got older, he knew that his calling lay in diplomacy.

After completing his education, majoring in Political Science, Austin joined Starfleet and quickly rose through the ranks thanks to his intellect and ability to navigate complex diplomatic situations. He served on several different starships and was known for his calm demeanor, unique negotiation skills, and commitment to finding peaceful solutions.

In 2401, AJ lost his entire Senior Staff during the tragic events of Frontier Day. After taking some time off,  AJ was given command of the USS Edison, assigned to Eos Station. During his time commanding the USS Edison, AJ proved himself as a resourceful leader, navigating his crew through crises involving black market operations, political subterfuge, and high-stakes investigations. His collaboration with Eos Station showed his ability to integrate teams and led to the dismantling of major smuggling networks.

Sadly, AJ was reassigned to the USS Yeager, a Saber-class vessel, due to the Edison requiring repairs after several conflicts with Orion pirates. The Yeager has been assigned to patrol the border region while maintaining security and rapid response.

Ginger

AJ is the owner of a German Shorthaired Pointer named Ginger.
