Proficiencies: Lieutenant Junior Grade Foster is extremely intelligent, and has a strong bent for practical/logical application over theory. He is an exceptionally competent pilot, easily one of the best in the Dulcais area, possibly in the entire Federation, and this expertise is divided amongst craft ranging from the smallest shuttlecraft to the largest capital ships. This skill is the primary source of his renown.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Foster is unusually well-known among the ranks of the various female human(oid) species he encounters. He's got the reputation, knowingly or not, of being the type of man who makes any woman he's speaking with, from Klingon Warrior to Orion Freewoman, feel as if she is the most special woman on the station. It's only when he walks away that she realizes something: He speaks, but never touches, and hardly ever looks.

Deficiencies: Lieutenant Junior Grade Foster has few flaws or deficiencies, with the possible exception of his mouth. Sometimes it gets ahead of his brain and he says things that he would be better off not saying. Lieutenant Foster is direct and to the point almost to a fault, and this sometimes gets him in trouble. He can also sometimes throw caution to the wind just for a new sensation or personal enjoyment (in, apparently, anything but matters of the heart).
