Physical:
Shriz is a solidly built man of above average height. He has a narrow, angular jawline that leads to a squared chin, with lips that are full and wide, with his top lip seeming curled into a near permanent smirk. Depending on his mood and the set of his eyes (and antennae), this can easily become a sneer without actually moving his mouth. His nose is a little wide and fairly flat, with a wide bridge separating eyes of a deep sea green, themselves wide and narrow, and like most Andorians are always active, attentive and framed by sharply angled, fine eyebrows of the same colour as his hair.

He now has a light scar that bisects his right eyebrow, around three inches in length that begins just under the outer edge of his right eye and runs upwards towards the middle of his forehead, the result of one of numerous minor injuries sustained in escaping the destruction of the U.S.S. Otago, his previous posting.

Personality:
He sports the normal Andorian trait of embracing his emotions, when he allows himself to, living in the moment and hates being confined to one spot for too long. Shriz has an eye for detail, although like many Andorians this can also be described as being overly paranoid when it comes to judging the intentions of people he is unfamiliar with.

Education:
Completing his education at 17 on Weytahn at a traditional Andorian military school, Shriz then spent three years working as a lab assistant at his fathers company, which had a small contract as part of continuing terra-forming projects on that moon. His two older brothers meanwhile had joined Starfleet, both as Security officers. Eventually he found his work to be boringly repetitive, and at the urging of his brothers also applied and was accepted into Starfleet Academy, deciding to develop his career as a Scientist (despite being taller and physically stronger than his brothers). He graduated with high commendations for his work on the Geological Sciences. He also received commendations for Astro-Sciences and achieved above average Biology scores.

Interests:
Shriz has always been interested in the Sciences. While at school and just afterwards, he spent a lot of time at his fathers Terra-forming company learning how the labs worked and how things grew, and had a good base of understanding of most geological and biological sciences by the time he joined Starfleet. Aside from his work he enjoys combat sports in the tradition of Andor, and anything that allows him to experience something new or exciting. He prefers upbeat music, especially if it has a more chaotic sound that lets the emotions run high. He is capable of relaxing, however, and prefers to do this on a beach with a strong, cold drink in his hand.

Flaws:
He can have a tendency to become suspicious of unfamiliar people, especially if given a reason first, such as a poor excuse to be in a restricted area or what he might consider suspicious behaviour in general. He expects his staff to be prompt, tidy and capable, whether they are Cadets or not.

Recent Background:
A survivor of the destruction of the U.S.S. Otago a year ago, he was one of less than half the crew rescued after a Warp Core breach caused by an ambush from rogue Romulan forces his ship was trying to track down after a number of freighters were reported missing, and wreckage had been found with Romulan disruptor patterns. Suffering many injuries after the explosion, he underwent treatment and then received home leave to be with his family and recover as his fathers health deteriorated.
Once his father had passed away, Shriz and his brothers sorted the affairs of his fathers company, ultimately leaving it to the direction of his fathers long time business partner, but between the three of them maintaining an owners share. Shriz then requested reinstatement from leave as his brothers returned to their duties, and was posted to the U.S.S. Discovery to both help the next generation of cadets and return to active service after his wounds.

Medical:
No current medical issues and all previous injuries such as burns and cuts, including to his right eye, healed after treatment. The scar from the cut to his eye remains as the only visible evidence while in Uniform, although some number of scars from other cuts received in the same time also remain on his body, under his uniform. He hasn’t had these healed to remove the scarring as Andorians consider these honourable.
