Personality
Sullivan is an honest man, who works hard to make things right between his career and family. He is respected well by his subordinates and ensures that each of them are cared for. When not in work mode, Sullivan is a bit of a character, who has a down to Earth sense of humor, and is always smiling around friends.
He is also a very educated man, having been brought up on proper education, he is well mannered, calm and very low tone, even when angered. Where he strides in intelligence and diplomacy, he lacks in aggression. He has never been a hot head, or one to be fierce, and some say perhaps that’s not a good thing, as it may prevent him from taking initiative under pressure, or hesitating.
Character History (What has your characters life been like? What has he/she appomplished?):
Donald grew up in a very modest family, who were considered of the upper middle class American household. He attended public schooling like any typical American youth, where he made average or above average marks. He never slacked nor failed and was very friendly to his fellow classmates. He wasn’t the most popular student, or even completely well known. But for those who did know him, would speak highly of him, and always looked up at his presence.
He graduated high school with top honors and was accepted into the United States Naval Academy after he read about outstanding opportunities the Navy was offering. He entered as a plebe at Annapolis where he was met with challenging work, but would always overcome it. Four years later, Donald was a commissioned ensign.
His first assignment was to serve as a deck officer aboard a guided missile destroyer, the Porter, a US Arleigh-Burke class vessel. He would spend the next two years and one promotion aboard the decks of the Porter. After receiving new orders, the now commissioned Lieutenant Sullivan was given a chance to flex his leadership muscles.
Sullivan was assigned command of his very own destroyer, the USS Bainbridge, also an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer. For the next four years of his service, Sullivan would make six sea deployments at the helm of the ship, along with his crew, and would venture into the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where they patrolled shipping lanes and assisted in counter-terrorism measures. During one stint, Sullivan and his crew would sail to the Indian Ocean for a temporary assignment, and eventually aid in the assistance of a merchant vessel under siege by pirates.
After returning to home port on the US east coast, Sullivan was removed from his post on the Bainbridge and was promoted once more (having been promoted once while at sea). The now Commander Sullivan was assigned to lead a destroyer squadron. And so he was appointed to DESRON 7, and commanded four destroyers and two cruisers.
It was at this time that the UMP conflict broke out, and the military needed leadership positions filled to meet with the continuing expansion of the military community. The Navy itself had pumped out several new carrier strike groups, but had no one to take the command of most. It was decided that after his name came through the wire that Sullivan should be placed in charge of one of these CSGs.
The young naval officer would soon find himself where most commanders dreamt of and died trying to reach. He was promptly promoted to Captain, and given the command of Carrier Strike Group 13. While the number “13” didn’t phase him, Sullivan knew he had much to prove to his shipmates and adversaries. He was now in control of a US aircraft carrier, along with a destroyer squadron and other units assigned to his group. It would be his biggest test yet…
