Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Matthew Plumeri is a very likeable guy. He is good natured, he is curious and loves to learn. He is passionate about meeting and interacting with alien cultures and hopes one day to be on a first contact mission. He loves to laugh and enjoys a good joke. When it comes to work, he is very professional and he knows his history. He has a special fascination and love for ancient civilizations. That is probably because he comes from a planet that is rich with alien history. He was born on Fontalis in Serse, the capital. When he was 3 months old his mother became a Federation citizen having dual citizenship. His father, Tommasso, is fully Human. Matthew, his brother Nicholas and his sister Meredith are therefore ½ Human and ½ Fontalan. Fontalis is an out of the way planet located in the Alpha Quadrant 700 light years from the Barratae star cluster. He learned about and loved the rich history of his father's world (Earth) and of his home and considers himself a citizen of them both. | |
| Strengths | Matt is a strong willed guy. He is clear and decisive but not arrogant. He can think clearly and logically and is very loyal to his friends. He is smart and curious and inquisitive by nature. He is a fun person to be around and everyone feels at ease around him. He has a great smile. | |
| Weaknesses | He doesn’t like disorganization and that can often trigger a flash of rage. Sometimes, he wears his emotions on his sleeve and he has to work very hard on that. Sometimes, people see that duplicity in him and think he is “two-faced”. Professional and courteous to some and then angry and short-tempered with friends. It really is not being duplicitous - it really is about him being confident enough to not be “always on” with his friends. | |
| Ambitions | He really want to be on a first contact mission one of these days. He also wants to one day teach at the University of Serse back on Fontalis. He wants to share the intrigue and passion that is History. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | He loves to play Parressis squares and he was very good at the game while at Starfleet Academy. He even became Team Captain for the 2388-89 Academic Year. He enjoys holodeck stories and he has amassed quite a collection of famous battles from History. He does like to re-enact some of them with his friends. His entire collection is not all battles. Sometimes, he likes to re-enact very famous events like: Earth’s first contact, the Orion Treaty, the Khittimer Accords, the Dawn of the Talosan Empire or the first Federation colonial ship to his home on Fontalis. He plays trumpet, he loves music, he likes to work-out and keep in shape. | |

| Personal History | Matthew Thomas Plumeri, was born in the Grand City of Serse on Fontalis on the First of Alessandro in 4756. Or, as his father would say, October 1st, 2368. His father, Tommasso Plumeri married his mother, a Fontalan native and her name is Yaniris. Tommasso, a Federation colonist, travelled from Earth to Fontalis, when Yaniris was pregnant, so that when Matthew was born he would be a naturalized Fontalan citizen having both Federation and Fontalan rights and privileges. Fontalis, is a provisional member world and so a few months after he was born Tommasso and Yaniris and older brother Nicholas, middle child, his sister Meredith, all made a permanent move to Fontalis. The Plumeri were one of three major patrician families - along with the Manli, the Fabi, and the Aemili that became the first wave of colonists to Fontalis. They all had an exemplary record of successful Starfleet service in the highest offices extending back at least to the early part of the 22nd century. Several ancestors were Federation consuls and then diplomats successively, and his great-grandfather, Mario Barbatus Plumeri, had been a Federation ambassador to the Caitian Empire in the 2280’s. His own family history had always been impressed upon him by his grandmother and his father. At the time that Matthew’s parents decided to leave Earth, the Plumeri’s were probably the most prominent branch of the family in the region, at least in the hindsight of the historians, who have only glowing reports of his family and his great-grandfather’s and grandfather’s career. So, there was and still is a lot of pressure on him to carry on the family name. Settle down and have a family and be just like all the other Plumeri family males. Matthew is the youngest child, third born son of Tommasso Plumeri, Professor of Social and Cultural Literature and Federation provisional diplomat to the Fontalan government. His older brother, Nicholas Plumeri and a friend since boyhood,Anthony Laelius, serve in the Starfleet Marine Corps, both of whom were inspirational and motivational for Matthew to join Starfleet as well. There is no better way to see the universe than in Starfleet. Matthew studied at some of the better educational institutions, and his parents were insistent that he learn about the local history of Fontalis and not just his own history. This has inspired him to become the man he is today. Driven and passionate about not just the past, but about the present and the future. |

| Starfleet History | After graduating the Academy with a degree in Ancient and Alien Civilizations, Matthew was assigned to the Diplomatic Corps to help Starfleet Diplomats attend to the affairs of state with a historical perspective. He was there three months before being transferred to Deep Space Five. Two year later, he was assigned to a starship, the USS Illustrious. As far as Matt is concerned, that's when the adventure started. He was moved to where he should have been all along - the Science Department and stayed there working hard and excelling at his job. He followed the crew to the USS Nimitz after the Illustrious was destroyed. Another two years found him on Starbase 80 as the planet Cheron proved to be a treasure house of artifacts. Right up his alley of Ancient and Alien Civilizations. Currently, he is considering a move to the USS Galileo. He feels more at home among the stars than at a starbase. | |
| Medical History | A healthy individual overall. Except for his internal organs being in a slightly different arrangement, Matthew could pass for almost fully Human. He has a great delight when the doctors, who don't know his heritage, get that look on their face as they scan for his life signs. | |
