| Physical Description | Jillian is athletically built to physically stand 6G turns in a cockpit. That means she has a lot of muscle mass in the arms, abs, and thighs. Other interesting facts about her physiology is that Jillian's right hand is a prosthetic, and almost always gloved (since she does not have synthetic flesh there). There is scarring along the right arm, from elbow to shoulder, where she once nearly burned up in her fighter. And also a prison serial number is tattooed on her right shoulder as a remnant of a past she has never forgotten. |

| Children | Crewman Aryssa Sullivan - Chef Starfleet Medical Record, January 8th, 2373 Lieutenant Sullivan is fit for duty, though there is evidence she was pregnant recently. There is no sign of forced trauma, but she refuses to answer any questions about our findings. It could be that she had an abortion or miscarried. Her former prison records show no hint of her previous condition, which concerns us. Be as it may, she's well enough to join our ranks once more. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Feisty is the best word to describe Jillian. Her tough, early life and cause for joining the Maquis, subsequently made her bitter and distrustful around most Federation authorities. But aside the typical prejudice, she can have fun, smile, and create chaos like any normal person (when she chooses to). She does follow orders, but she is often quick to anger, especially when she feels victimized for the choices she made in life (such as joining the Maquis). This volatile temper has often sent her to the brig for misconduct, which she honestly tries hard to hone (though that does not always work). If anything, some counselors would say she acts out because of repressed guilt - Her parents being in prison because Jillian led the authorities to them. This, plus the horrific combat missions she survived in the war, created PTSD. That aside, Jillian was conditioned during her special operations training, to specifically learn how to create white noise - a preventative measure of blocking telepathic intrusions, in case of capture. So while her actions reflect PTSD, it is tough to get a read below the surface on her, for any telepath. |

| Personal History | Raxus VI is a planet of poverty and violence. On the line of the DMZ, it often saw heavy fighting. Jillian Sullivan had been born into such a harsh life and had become a hardened warrior by the time she could pick up a phaser rifle. She and her parents are the only ones that survived the 2362 massacre, in her village. The farming stopped as the land had been poisoned by plasma-shells. But because it was their home, her family moved into a series of caverns with other neighboring villagers that survived the shellings. Cardassians raided the once lush planet so often during the Federation-Cardassian War that many, including Jillian, thought that no one in the more populated systems of the Federation, cared. And as their neighboring planets were slowly given away to the Cardassians, their fears were all but confirmed. Focused to join the military so she could return and join the Maquis with her parents as a valuable asset, Jillian spent most of her puberty and teen years learning the finer points of evading the enemy and using a lot of trickery tactics as they fought viciously for their land. Then... the treaty came. The DMZ formed and the small forming Maquis began to grow in larger numbers, as many citizens on/near the border, lost their homes. So, once she was of age, Jillian enlisted in the Marines. Her only goal? Gather intel on Spoonhead movements. Give them to her parents through clever information drop points. For several years, she had gone unnoticed. All her peers thought of her as focused and driven to be a good leather neck, and excellent special operations asset. A promising career, in other words. Though not until she joined the special operations division as a combat signaling officer, did Jillian join the Maquis officially? At this point, many reports of border planets raised and raped of resources, where the Federation turned a blind eye on the Cardassian raiders, reached her ears. So she dropped a lot of Intel (which helped the Maquis in picking the right bombing targets), more often, not realizing that SFI had honed in on her. It is unclear what led SFI to suspect her as a terrorist, but they stayed silent for the main reason of making large-scale arrests on cells they did not know were there. While risky, SFI pushed, behind doors to approve Jillian's application for Officer's School as the Marine Flight Academy. Not until her sophomore cadet year, on spring break visiting her folks, did SFI finally make their move. Jillian's actions got her parents and forty-six other citizens arrested for treason. She herself, was sent to a maximum security prison, sentenced to hard labor, for the rest of her life. Her only living sibling cut all ties to her and their parents, in lieu of trying to become a legit officer himself. Most of her time in prison, she doesn't talk of to anyone, but it's clear something very bad happened, quite occasionally to her, that caused major changes in her personality. And on the day she took a conditional release, just to go out and kill Cardassians, not even that perk raised her spirits. She fought long and hard, over the next couple of years. A glorified prisoner still. Many good people died around her, to the point Jillian had to tune it out or crack up, which in itself turned into a festering rage that would release quite often throughout her career. After the war ended, not even teaching at a top gun school raised her spirits much. Then again, unintentionally getting most of your family arrested, might make one feel guilty and responsible. The paperwork was signed by Admiral Nechayev, however since Admiral Nechayev has been arrested and jailed for life for various criminal offenses herself, her paperwork was consigned to the dustbin where it belonged by Admiral Jake Yamaguchi. |
