Isaac Stamp

Summary
Isaac Morris Stamp is the Chief Medical Officer of the USS Hunt. He has served on a number of starships throughout his career as both an archaeologist and a physician.

Appearance
Stamp is 6'2" and is very slim and athletic. He sports grey receding hair and a dark black moustache. He speaks with an articulate Canadian accent. He walks with the assistance of a spinal amplifier, which sometimes gives him an awkward and rigid limp when he is in discomfort.

Personality & Lifestyle
Stamp is highly intelligent and a very articulate speaker, being very well read and enjoyed a successful career as a university lecturer prior to joining Starfleet. He is hands on and always eager to intervene in medical matters even where other factors make the situation dangerous. He often disagrees with Captain Copper's decisions, but by no means detests him for it. Whilst he is very by the book and blue collar, he often goes above and beyond what is required of him and will always embrace new ideas and out-of-the-box approaches to problem solving.

In his spare time he enjoys reading Clive Cussler novels, as well as keeping up to speed on current xenoarchaeological events. He is an accomplished model-maker of naval vessels and has numerous completed works on display in his quarters, and keeps a scale model of the HMS Victory on his desk in sickbay. Whenever the ship visits worlds with oceans, he is the first to make use of his off-duty time by leaving the ship to go fishing.

Stamp is somewhat asexual, showing little interest in pursuing romantic interests. He has never mentioned whether he has a spouse or any children.

Pre-Starfleet Life
Isaac was born in 2350 in Ontario, Canada, to Lowell and Marina Stamp, their only child. At an early age he became fascinated with archaeology, and spent the breaks in his school years assisting various institutions with their digs. He then became a student of the field at Harvard University, eventually becoming a lecturer. During an expedition to Egypt when he was 32, he fell from the back of a camel and broke his spine in three places. He now walks with the assistance of a spinal amplifier which causes him a lot of discomfort particularly when trying to sleep. In 2385 he decided on a career change, going into medicine at Starfleet Medical, and joined the crew of the USS New Orleans as a nurse, before becoming Chief Medical Officer of the USS Hunt in 2389.
