Eye Colour: Blue
Physical Appearance: Callahan is a surprisingly tall man, something that ever helps him stand out in a crowd, but can be irritating for him when attempting to navigate Jefferies Tubes and small shuttles. He balances out his height somewhat by being a rather lanky fellow, stronger than his wiry frame would suggest but having little bulk about him. Years of warfare sent many Starfleet preferences of appearances out of the window; his dark hair is usually worn long, tied back neatly but ignoring many regulations. A touch of grey beginning to creep in at the temples prompted him to grow a neat goatee. But despite these infractions Callahan is always found to have an appearance which is neat and professional.
Medical History: Callahan has most of the injuries which would be expected from years of war. His left arm has been broken on two separate occasions, once on an away mission in 2391, and then during the Battle of Sol in 2398. On the second occasion, some slightly more permanent damage was done, as he went two days on the bridge without receiving treatment. Apart from this, he has sustained the usual number of insignificant phaser injuries and other bumps and bruises which are expected from Starfleet life. But Callahan keeps himself in good physical condition and is healthy enough to deal with most injuries or maladies which may afflict him.

OOC Background
The character of Robert Callahan was created by Angry Apes Game Master Cath Stinton in May 2004 for the independent role-playing game Star Trek: Legacy. Where in that game he was Robert Driscoll, the youthful long-lost son of Legacy character Commander Logan Callahan, when creating a commanding officer for the USS Thunderchild in the Angry Apes game, Stinton decided to take and transform Robert for the universe of Futility's End. Deeming the FE history to be an entirely alternate history to Legacy's canon, the past of the two Roberts branch out even before their births. Whereas Robert Driscoll in Legacy grew up with no notion of Logan as his father, Robert Callahan in Futility's End was very much aware. Stinton extrapolates that both the influence of Logan in Robert's life and the outbreak of the Borg War would have encouraged Callahan to join Starfleet, as opposed to the civilian Driscoll.
