Physical Description
Remae is tall and seems to be more suited to a security officer, but has the demur that comes from years of counselling others. His experiences at the hands of Starfleet, being dealt badly by losing contact with his fiance, Jana Bell has twisted Remae into something quite else. The burden of what he has done and gone through makes his presence formidable.
Family and Background
Worked on farm with his parents on Bajor but normally spent his time at a nearby Federation shuttle repair facility. He is a contradiction, being Bajoran but his faith his almost non-existent... something his parents blamed on his exposure to Starfleet and their 'godless' values. Over the years, he has reassessed his faith. Still Atypical, allowing anyone to call him by his first name or last, depending on what they want to do.
Education
- Starfleet Academy (4 years)
- Command Academy (2 years)
- Counselor Extension Courses (2 years)
Pre Starfleet
Spent his life on Bajor, devoted to family and friends. Remae spent his time on Bajor at Valour province, during this time at his parent's farm, he spent more time at the local Starfleet Installation for the province. Hanging around watching the Federation in action, Remae steeled himself to one day join Starfleet.
Starfleet Academy
Remae was accelerated onto the USS Spectre with minimum time at the Academy.
Overview of Starfleet Career
Remae has spent most of his career on the USS Spectre, as Counselor. His counselling sessions have always gone well and he believes in the choices he has made in counselling others. Moving up to COUNS/2O and then First Officer, Remae was given command of the USS Spectre when the former Captain Ro Kaelyn was involved in an incident in which a Romulan Warbird was stolen. The USS Spectre was Remae’s ship for a short while, and in a mission to Cardassia, she was nearly destroyed, was separated in half and the saucer was towed back to Starbase 968. The details are still locked by Starfleet Intelligence; Remae was never told of Starfleet’s official response to the loss of the USS Spectre although he was court marshaled.
Unofficially, Admiral Kriller has told Ktell that the Spectre would be rebuild and launched, but Starfleet are concerned about the near destruction of her. Remae was in command of the Prometheus Class USS Athene, and in her maiden voyage led a mission into the Gamma Quadrant.
He has traveled through 2 dimensions and ended up in a very different place that when he started.
Q
Early in his career, Remae caught the attention of Q, he loved to mess around with Remae and placed him in the wormhole to confront his atheist views.
Orbs of the Prophets
Remae ran across more than a couple of orbs of the prophets, strangely, the orbs contacted Remae by placing themselves inside his chest... this contact directly linked Remae with the Prophets.
USS Spectre
Assigned to the Spectre from the Academy, he was given the position of Counsellor. The CO at the time, another Bajoran, Captain Ro was none too happy to have a Counsellor onboard. He skipped through the ranks quickly, rising to FO for a short period and then to CO. The Spectre was nearly destroyed and the First Officer, Susan Rivers took the Saucer not before Remae went on his own, to confront the madman Gul Dulon before he could get his ships to the Saucer Section. The engineering section was destroyed. Note: The Spectre was not designed for saucer separation.
Luckily, Susan and the saucer were rescued by the USS Nimitz but not before Gul Dulon captured, tortured and then Remae was rescued by the USS Athene and Admiral Kriller.
USS Athene
During a counselling session on stardate 2407.01.13, Remae began to open up his past regarding the USS Athene, Admiral Kriller and Jana Bell. He mentioned his sadness about not being able to return to her. Fate had prevented his return Since the loss of the Spectre in that universe, Starfleet had mad him pay a high price and even following him into a new universe and dimension, Remae's fate haunts him.
Utopia Planitia
“Computer, prepare to activate the Geometry Drive.”, he said as he entered the entry and exit points close to the red giant, everything has been calculated long before he had stepping onto the ship, all he needed to do was engage the drive.
The core shutdown and began to turn… it was like watching the hands of a clock move, it was slow. With the core offline, the ship was decelerating but it wasn’t too long before it connected to its second set of injectors, the core came back to life, it was at a strange angle but it was powered up again.
Remae turned on a monitor, it showed the forward view of the ship, a beam of energy was shooting out the front, from the dish, it was digging into subspace and before Remae knew what had happened, the beam had opened a hole in space, the Firebrande was inside the wormhole, inside the blue vortex travelling at quite a speed.
Something shook the ship, it slammed Remae into the wall… whatever was happening, it was taking over his existence, white was engulfing him and he passed out.
USS Paladin
After another awkward meeting with command when he returned, Remae was assigned to the USS Paladin as First Officer, mainly due to the need of experienced officers lacking.
USS Mithrandir
After the war was over, Remae was reassigned again, and again as Acting FO, this time of the USS Mithrandir. They had lost their CO and Remae was requested to support the command staff until the return of the CO.
Currenly on the USS Spectre
Remae has returned to his beloved USS Spectre once again but not in a command position. Currently at the rank of Ensign, Remae is the Chief of Engineering.
Medical
Over the years, recent encounters with the Orbs of the Prophets have become normal. On these rare occassions, the Orbs have lodged themselves inside Remae's chest and connected him directly to the Prophets.
Remae lost both his legs thanks to a mine on Betazed, during the Civil War. Although they work properly and noone can tell the difference, Remae has to cooperate with the legs to make them work, this doesn't always happen.
Hobbies
Swimming and running.
Skills
Listening and helping others with problems. Patience and the ability to assess someones personality within minutes of a conversation. People skills.
Other
He grew up with his parents' knowledge of the Cardassian occupation and spent time during the recent Dominion invasion helping family and friends through their traumatic experiences. His three visits from Q have usually been more trouble than they are worth. But his visits and visitations from The Prophets have shaken his beliefs of having no faith to reassessing those values.

Alternate Timelines
There are a few Remae's around, 4, if I am correct in the current timeline, although 1 of the 4 is back in time/space on Utopia Planitia, in 2404 (Alt Timeline), a Remae was moved to the current timeline of Freedom, and I am not sure if the same one is back there again, I think so.
The others? I think one of them is one of the three USS Spectres roaming around the Freedom universe, one of them is on the USS Wraith with Jana Bell, I hope so, the love of his life, at least one of these Remae's should be happy!, and the other? Erm... what's that over there...? --> runs away.
