abilities
Chekov is highly intelligent to the point that he graduated both school as well as having a mastery of quantum mechanics and physics - both theoretical and experimental - by the time he was seventeen. He's incredibly quick at thinking and can at times actually think faster than a computer itself. He is also highly skilled in tactics, strategy and navigation. He also has some abilities in engineering from helping Scotty out at times.
personality
Pavel Chekov's most defining trait is his intelligence which borders on genius level if not an actual genius. From a young age it was obvious that he was to go great distances with his intelligence. He has picked things up easily and has the ability to make intuitive leaps nearly instantly that others can't or have to work really hard to get. It isn't surprising therefore that he therefore is quite a bit younger than other Ensigns his age, having skipped years of work and even took college classes when he was twelve.

It is perhaps a good thing that he is so intelligent as he continually wants to learn new things, the harder the better in his opinion. He loves tackling challenging tasks especially in maths and science though his passion is quantum physics. It isn't just learning though it's the exploring part of new things that captures his interest too which is one reason why he joined Starfleet to begin with - he wanted to explore the universe, see what is out there and push the boundaries on things he could learn during his life.

He is easily excitable about a lot of things, especially when something is going well for him. When excited he has a habit of bounce on his heels and talk rapidly, slipping into his native tongue of Russian. The more exciting the situation is the happier he is in a lot of ways, in fact he thrives on this energy and seems to do his best work under these situations.

With his intelligence his mind often wanders when in the company of others because he can understand things so much faster than theirs which has left him to figure out ways to entertain himself. Most of the time he does this by coming up with exciting (in his opinion) theories about pretty much anything he can think of at that particular moment.

Because he has spent so much time learning as well as being younger than the majority of his peers he doesn't have great people skills though he is slowly getting better at them. That isn't to say that he is awkward around people though his best friends forever Sulu and Scotty are great people and he gets along well with them without any awkwardness them. They're his bro's and he would do anything for them - his Keptain too for that matter though he practically worships that man and all that he has done.

That isn't even beginning to mention his lack of skills with people of the opposite sex. Yes he finds them attractive and identifies as straight but he might as well be dead when it comes to them. Of course by the time he started to develop interest in women everyone saw him as their baby brother due to the age gap and otherwise he just clams up and won't say a word if he likes them.
history
Pavel Chekov was born in Russia in the year 2241. He was the only child to his parents. From a young age it was quite obvious that he was highly intelligent. At school he never really fit in with anyone due to just how smart he was. He was constantly skipping grades, correcting teachers and in general just not connecting well with his peers.
sorting
There are a few options for taking this! You may either follow the short version bellow or you can take one of the following tests and tell us your answer the 38 Questions here or this longer version 126 Questions. Any option is acceptable, just keep in mind the longer the version the more accurate number!

NUMBER: (if you took one of the longer tests please tell us what number you got here)

THE SIMPLE TEST
Weight the paragraphs in each Group from 3 to 1, with “3” being the one that best describes your actual behavior.

GROUP 1
  1. [NUMBER_HERE] - I have tended to be fairly independent and assertive: I’ve felt that life works best when you meet it head-on. I set my own goals, get involved, and want to make things happen. I don’t like sitting around—I want to achieve something big and have an impact. I don’t necessarily seek confrontations, but I don’t let people push me around, either. Most of the time, I know what I want, and I go for it. I tend to work hard and to play hard.

  2. [NUMBER_HERE] - I have tended to be quiet and am used to being on my own. I usually don’t draw much attention to myself socially, and it’s generally unusual for me to assert myself all that forcefully. I don’t feel comfortable taking the lead or being as competitive as others. Many would probably say that I’m something of a dreamer—a lot of my excitement goes on in my imagination. I can be quite content without feeling I have to be active all the time.

  3. [NUMBER_HERE] - I have tended to be extremely responsible and dedicated. I feel terrible if I don’t keep my commitments and do what’s expected of me. I want people to know that I’m there for them and that I’ll do what I believe is best for them. I’ve often made great personal sacrifices for the sake of others, whether they know it or not. I often don’t take adequate care of myself—I do the work that needs to be done and relax (and do what I want) if there’s time left.
GROUP 2
  1. [NUMBER_HERE] - I am a person who usually maintains a positive outlook and feels that things will work out for the best. I can usually find something to be enthusiastic about and different ways to occupy myself. I like being around people and helping others be happy— I enjoy sharing my own well-being with them. (I don’t always feel great, but I generally try not to show it!) However, keeping a positive frame of mind has sometimes meant that I’ve put off dealing with my own problems for too long.

  2. [NUMBER_HERE] - I am a person who has strong feelings about things—most people can tell when I’m upset about something. I can be guarded with people, but I’m more sensitive than I let on. I want to know where I stand with others and who and what I can count on—it’s pretty clear to most people where they stand with me. When I’m upset about something, I want others to respond and to get as worked up as I am. I know the rules, but I don’t want people telling me what to do. I want to decide for myself.

  3. [NUMBER_HERE] - I am a person who is self-controlled and logical—I don’t like revealing my feelings or getting bogged down in them. I am efficient—even perfectionistic—about my work, and prefer working on my own. If there are problems or personal conflicts, I try not to let my feelings influence my actions. Some say I’m too cool and detached, but I don’t want my private reactions to distract me from what’s really important. I’m glad that I usually don’t show my reactions when others “get to me.”
samples
We only require a 3rd person sample and you have a few options here. You may link to a previous thread where you played the same character or you can take one of our prompts and use it as a starter thread. We would prefer one of the prompts as this is a great way to have an open thread to toss in ASAP. No matter which way you go this should be at least 300 words.

  • You've just left your housing area and exploring what can only be described as 'Main Street', what do you see first? What gets your attention?

  • Describe waking up in the room and how it feels (note you can add your number in later).

  • You've just tried the special Atalntian "Blue Bubbles" drink at the local bar, the "Blue Bubble" tastes like whatever your favorite drink is. What does it taste like? How do you react to the drink?

  • You're walking down the cooridor to your room and you fall through a hole and land in a bubble in the ocean surrounded by sharks. What do you do?
