Background
Note: The traditional Spanish patronymic style used by the Novans makes Miguel's full surname Carlos Ramirez de Costaluna and dictates that "Carlos" is the shortened version of his surname (and the name used for alphabetization); however, 23rd Century Novan culture uses the final surname, especially the section preceded by "de," as the shortened surname (and the basis of alphabetization). Thus, instead of being Miguel Rene Carlos, he is Miguel Rene de Costaluna. Miguel Rene is a single name (a compound forename, as per Spanish traditional naming practices, even though he normally answers to just Miguel).

Miguel Costaluna was born in 2262 on Terra Nova; he was a bookish sort, though physically active as the son of a secondary school gym teacher. Miggy excelled in school, especially linguistics; he originally intended to attend UTN-NI (University of Terra Nova - New Ireland), but a friend convinced him to apply to Starfleet Academy.

The young Costaluna breezed through the academic curriculum, specializing in communications operations. Upon his graduation near the top of his class in 2284, he was selected for the advanced command placement program, a new initiative by Fleet Admiral Morrow to accelerate the advancement of high academic achievers. He completed the one-year program and chose USS Drake (NCC-1553) as his first assignment (against the advice of his detailers), stating that it was "distinctive" to serve on the last ship of a class.

Miguel was seriously injured and nearly lost his life in a skirmish with a blockade runner, but he was able to recover and contribute to the remainder of the mission.

Personality
Since his arrival on the Drake and subsequent injury in 2288, Miguel is less the energetic and youthful officer struggling to master his social skills. He has matured and found himself more at ease with his shipmates; however, he spent significant off-duty time in seclusion, retreating into his academic world of linguistics notes and self-entertainment of manufacturing languages. Of note, the addition of Ensign Chev ch'Valk to the crew has brought him out of his shell somewhat, and the two have started a language creation game between themselves.
