Blake was born on a quiet evening in the dead of winter -- not a very promising to the beginning of one's life. His parents were good folk who believed in teaching their son the values and morality of the Federation in which they lived. Blake learned well, but he always had a wild streak in him.

During high school, on several occasions, Blake got in trouble with the head of the school because of the pranks he and his friends pulled on other classmates. Blake learned early on the best way to clean a learning stylus. His friends were good friends despite the fact that Blake was always the one that was blamed for their shenanigans.

As he got near the end of his schooling, Blake decided that Starfleet was for him after a visit from an academy recruiter. With a few months to go, Blake buckled down and worked hard to bring his grades up to something the Academy would look at. He did it, passed the exam, and found himself moving to San Fransisco in the fall.

Blake made it through the Academy with a minimum of fuss -- other than the few pranks his friends pulled and he was blamed for. He decided to go with security because he was a big guy. And, his fighting skills were good enough for the job. While at the Academy, he developed an intense interest in the ocean. Every week, after classes, he could be found either down by the bay, or out on a boat in the middle of the bay.

At the completion of classes, Blake was handed his orders: he had been assigned to the USS Sulu.

Blake is a fun-loving, easy-going guy. He likes spending his off-duty time with friends, either joking around in the holodecks or the ship's gym. When on duty, he has been known to crack a joke in a tense situation to take the edge off. Blake comes off as a a Cassanova, but in reality has very little experience with women.

Blake has a temper -- a big one. He works at keeping in control, but on occasion fails. When he does, he tries to get somewhere away from people where he can vent his frustrations. He's only not made it once, and it nearly cost him a friendship.

Blake is a good looking man with dark features and a strong build. He's always been active, and his physique shows it. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
