Character Description Fred is a fresh and dynamical young officer. Most of the time, there's at least a glance of this roguish touch to the smile he wears most of the time and a twinkle in his brown eyes. The short, but often wild and uncontrollable hairs underline this impression.
DeLances job is his passion, especially since he became Chief Engineer of the USS Tempest. He declined several offers for positions with command. His social skills have improved over the years aboard and growing into his position and he makes friends faster than before. A rather blow for his selfesteem, however, was the time when Durgo Lourelle took command of the SB517 and left the USS Tempest. After a short depressive episode, he's quite back where he was, but when his friendship with Zoë Saden was at the edge of becoming more, he hesitated, unsure and not willing to life through the same thing again. Shortly after that, Zoë Saden was transfered, too, supporting Fred in his doubts. Even more twists and turns were added to his life, when Fred met „Sam“ from Section31. There was nothing more, he hated than keeping this secret, especially towards Cmdr Faye Lockwood, Acting Captain of the USS Tempest until SD911222 , who was rather a friend, than a superior officer for Fred.
Hobbies Frederik DeLance's great love are starships. He likes crawling around in jefferies tubes, studying blueprints and programming simulations of virtually every shiptype in the galaxy. He also likes to make plans and designs by himself and tries to test and improve them on Holodecks. His personal treasure is a collection of every holographic blueprint, he gained access to. Since early childhood days, he dreams of creating a shuttle or small fast ship himself. Since serving on the Tempest, their ship was his main priority, but he kept developing plans for his own design.
He used to do some archery, but during the last month, he seldomly had the time and nerves to practice. In more calm moments, he likes to watch old-fashioned 2D-movies, especially those in b/w. He was able to revive that long-lost passion with Durgo Lourelle, the former OPS-officer, was now transfered off the Tempest. After she left, Fred seldomly watched any of those 2D-movies until he met Zoë Saden. After she was transfered off the Tempest, too, Fred never touched his old-fashioned projector.
Languages Federation Standard

Basics learned during childhood:
- Vulcan
- Klingon
- Cardassian
Physical Description DeLance has a quite athletic body, though he does little sports, if at all. His blonde hair is difficult to manage and Fred does not pay too much attention to that, if there is no important meeting or something like that, so it usually looks a bit uncoordinated.
Nicknames Fred for most of his friends, though "Sam" prefers to call him Freddy.
