Appearance
John Ellis Bonnet stands tall and commanding, a figure of distinct alien origin fused with Starfleet discipline. His skin is a mottled greenish-gray, accented by ridged, almost crown-like protrusions along his scalp that hint at his extraterrestrial heritage. His eyes are sharp, alert, and a piercing shade of blue, contrasting against the textured complexity of his facial features.
A short, graying beard frames his stern jawline, giving him a seasoned and resolute appearance. His Starfleet uniform is immaculately worn, marked with a red command stripe across the shoulders and bearing the insignia of his rank and allegiance. The black undersuit and paneling reflect his discipline and readiness for duty. He is known by the nickname ‘Big Tex,’ a nod to both his towering height and his upbringing in a Texas colony on Earth, merging human culture with his alien origin.
With a stance that radiates authority and a gaze that reflects both wisdom and determination, John Ellis Bonnet embodies the ideal of a Starfleet officer navigating the vast unknown.
Personality
John is someone who takes pride in being dedicated and detail oriented, especially when it comes to his work and the projects he passionate about. John has a strong sense of responsibility, and he likes to make sure things are done right not just done. Whether he is tackling a real-world challenge or working on something creative, John always looking for ways to improve, refine, and push the limits of what he can do.
Creativity plays a big role in Johns life. I enjoy writing, building stories, and diving into ideas that mix emotion, depth, and a bit of grit. John leans into themes of resilience, justice, and purpose both in his work and in the worlds he build. With a background rooted in law enforcement and tactical operations, he naturally gravitate toward structure and strategy, but he is not afraid to let imagination lead when the moment calls for it.
At the end of the day, John is someone who believes in growth personally, professionally, and creatively. He doesn’t just show up he engages fully
History
John Ellis Bonnet was born on a distant alien world, but his family sought a new life among the stars. They settled in a unique space colony orbiting Earth, with deep cultural ties to the state of Texas. Growing up surrounded by Texas traditions, John quickly embraced the frontier spirit. His tall stature and confident demeanor earned him the nickname “Big Tex” among friends and neighbors.
From a young age, John was immersed in the rugged lifestyle of the Texas colony.

Hunting became another favored pastime, allowing him to hone his skills in patience and precision.
John’s upbringing was a blend of alien heritage and Texan culture. He grew to appreciate not just the physical activities but also the quieter moments of reading and writing. Literature became a gateway for him to understand both human and alien histories, and writing allowed him to express the unique fusion of cultures that defined his life.
As he grew older, John decided to join Starfleet, driven by a desire to explore the galaxy and bridge the gap between different worlds. The lessons of resilience, courage, and curiosity that he learned from his Texas upbringing would serve him well on his journey through the stars.
