Alvin was born in old Holland to the influential Fokker dynasty. Unlike his ancestors, who always focused on career advancement, wealth accumulation, or both, he was never particularly ambitious. His creed is primarily to enjoy the moment and savor what the world offers him. From a young age, however, he was also a man of strong moral principles and always believed in decency and honesty above all else. This is why he joined Starfleet, not for fame or a desire to explore, but to contribute his part to humanity's journey into space. He always performed his duties exemplarily, but he didn't strive for rank and was always happy to give way to more enthusiastic and passionate individuals. While this may seem ordinary or even mundane, Alvin is far from a man without passion.
A great passion for large aircraft and large women (without needing to compensate for anything) has always burned within him. He especially managed to fully develop the former. Thanks to a portion of his family's fortune, enthusiasm, and determination, he gradually acquired one of the most remarkable collections. His private airfield and hangars near Amsterdam contain real gems, fully functional replicas of giant 20th-century airplanes. Alvin can personally pilot all of them and, in his free time, visits air shows, various entertainment events, or simply flies for fun.
And it was precisely thanks to his hobby that the humble Alvin, who usually doesn't intervene in major events, one day made a curious contribution to the execution of justice. In 2372, Admiral Leyton unsuccessfully attempted a military coup by staging a false Dominion attack against Earth. Leyton was stopped by Captain Sisko and his crew. However, the admiral also used a group of elite cadets, the infamous Red Squad, for his crimes. Immediately after their superior was apprehended, they fled in a shuttle, while regular Starfleet units were still paralyzed and in chaos, unable to intervene. Lieutenant Junior Grade Alvin Fokker, who was on leave at the time, also heard the reports of the escapees. He was just flying his super-giant Airbus Beluga jet and showed impressive quick thinking and creativity. Using a tricorder, he disrupted the shuttle's sensors. The young cadets, used to relying only on lights and buttons, didn't see the massive Airbus approaching at all. In a risky maneuver, Alvin opened the massive cargo hold of his Beluga in flight and literally scooped up the shuttle in mid-air.
He was awarded the Algernon Ribbon and promoted to full lieutenant for his actions. After this single exciting moment in his career, he happily returned to his quiet, established routine. And according to the saying that good things come to those who wait, Alvin also found the woman of his secret dreams. He was always willing to lend his planes for various purposes to anyone who was interested. One day in 2381, he was contacted by a modeling agency asking if he would provide one of his most prized specimens, the giant Dornier Do X seaplane, for a calendar photoshoot with plus-size model Karolína Kolbenová.
Karolína was a top model in her field; besides modeling, she also became a muse for several racy holo-novels. Alvin was a fan of hers and, of course, readily agreed to the project. From their first personal meeting, he fell madly in love with Karolína. Unable to resist, he shyly confessed his love to her. The model was used to such attention and accepted his affection graciously. Nevertheless, she was intrigued by this gentle pilot and dreamer. However, she didn't want to make things easy for him. She was the type of woman who openly and unashamedly showed her body but guarded her inner self all the more carefully. And Karolína sensed that although she was physically attractive to Alvin, he was primarily interested in her as a person. Therefore, she acted cautiously and carefully. The weeks when he flew with Karolína (and a team of holo-photographers) to various exotic destinations were the most wonderful in Alvin's life. He even managed to strongly impress his idol on the last day of their collaboration. They were just flying over Lake Constance, and Karolína was bravely being photographed on the wing of the Dornier. A strut she transferred her weight to broke, and the model ended up in the water. The situation was not dangerous; the seaplane was flying just above the lake for the best photo effect. Nevertheless, Alvin didn't hesitate, immediately left the cockpit, and jumped into the waves after her. In a fit of heroism, it didn't occur to him that as a near-non-swimmer, he was very ill-equipped for such a feat. Karolína, who always felt at home in the water, ended up saving him instead, but Alvin's gesture made a big impression on her.
They stayed in touch, but she didn't give him a final "yes" and, in the following months, enjoyed his attention, flattery, and courtship. Alvin was persistent, befriended the Kolben family, including Karolína's younger sister Kristýna. She also served in Starfleet, so Alvin secured a transfer to the same ship and constantly asked her for tips and tricks on how to win Karolína over. And given his desire, it took Kristýna almost no effort to help him with an act previously unheard of for him: the hijacking of the U.S.S. Trnava from space dock.
Character:
Alvin is honest, steadfast, and loyal. He is the type of person who would never cross a red light or cut in line for anything. He insists on always strictly adhering to the principles of good manners. He completely fails to understand modern norms, which are based primarily on honesty and often reject social upbringing as hypocritical, and thus comes across as a bit of a man from another time in the enlightened 24th century.
