Personality and Traits
Physical Attributes
Blair is a bit shorter and slimmer than the norm for humans, which benefits his former job as a fighter pilot. Since he stopped flying fighters every day and became more of a ground pounder, he did bulk up some, but not so much that being in a cockpit became uncomfortable.
Psychological Profile
Personality
Blair's sense of humor tends to run on the dry side, and he is unafraid to use it. This is not necessarily always a good thing, as he tends to use it to cover nervousness when forced to be in a social situation, and sometimes his sense of humor gets... wierd when he's nervous. This, as much as anything, leads to the awkward situations which only reinforce his uncomfortableness in social situations.
Hobbies
During his few off hours that he doesn't have much else to do, he can probably be found getting in some simulator time, as he loves to fly. He also will occasionally cook food himself, as he often jokes it tastes better made by hand than by replicator. He also has a collection of books by late 20th Century Earth author Tom Clancy. Another more recent interest of his is old Earth weapons - his collection includes a Fabriqe Nationale P-90 submachine gun, a Fabrique Nationale Five-seveN pistol, and an Earth Military Assault Command EM pulse rifle. Another weapon he owns is one given as a gift by LTC Stephen Surridge of Deep Space Seven; a Federation Marine combat knife with a "holdout" phaser in the handle, with a power cell good for only a bare handful of shots.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Blair's biggest weakness is that, while he cares professionaly for everyone on the Chimera, he really has yet to connect to anyone on a real personal level, and his social life is just about nil. He has been known to call himself on this, but the fact of the matter is that he simply does not know how to act in a non-duty situation with anybody. He can relax and talk about duty-related matters, but thats about it. As a matter of fact, he himself as summed it up like this: "Give me a battalion of Marines and I can conquer and hold any planet you like, against just about any enemy. But put me in a social situation, and I will be running out the door before a half-hour has passed with both feet in my mouth so far Im tasting my kneecaps."
Ambitions
Blair is driven, deep down, by a sense of service that rubbed off from having two senior officers in Starfleet for parents. If one asked him what he really wanted from Starfleet, he'd tell you the rank of Colonel and his own fighter unit, or possibly his own ship. (The latter is a relativley new ambition, granted.)
Biography
Christopher Blair was born to a Starfleet family. He and his parents moved from family to starship to starbase, his mother a Captain, and his father a Marine ground forces officer. As a youth, Blair expressed an interest in flying fighters, and studied to become a Marine fighter pilot. After the Dominion War, in which his mother was killed when her ship was destroyed by Jem'Hadar attack ships, he and his father (who retired from the Corps) moved back to Earth.
After a few months serving as DS7's Special Operations Commander, Blair was tapped by Starfleet command for a deep-cover covert operation, the details on which are classified at the highest levels. After the mission, Blair applied for transfer back to DS7, but instead of being assigned to the station, he was assigned to the Second Battle Group's USS Achilles as her Strategic Operations Officer. After a couple months of that (and attending the Fourth Annual Bat'leth Tournament at Serenity Station), he snagged a transfer back to Atlantis' Fort Angel as the Marine Deputy Commander for Major Jason T'Shir, his former Special Ops XO. His next assignment, much to his joy, was as CAG for the Excalibur-class USS Chimera. When the Chimera crew was sent to Mannheim Station, Blair was given travel orders to return to Earth before being sent out to a new assignment.
