Personal Traits:
Spent several years before joining Starfleet as a bounty hunter, following in his
father's footsteps and making a name for himself in the Alpha and Beta quadrants as
one of the best in the business. John is the proud owner of a small starfighter known
as the Wraith, which he has been modifying and upgrading since he "confiscated" it
from a fugitive.
Personality:
John is an easy going and level-headed, he is a very outgoing person, who is
sometimes labeled as arrogant. Those who know him well, know that he is extremely
self confident, and a little cocky. He also is a self-proclaimed ladies's man, and can
usually be found in the mess hall talking to the cute ensign over in the corner.
Extremely bright, he loves technology, and can sometimes be found in a science lab,
tinkering with a new weapon he is perfecting. Although new to Starfleet, he easily
makes friends, and adapts to new surroundings. Another place he is often found is in
the holodeck, where he loves to run and also design combat programs.
Personal History:
As a child, he was often prejudged by his peers because of a rare condition that made
his eyes a shiny metallic blue color but also gave him increased night vision. John
showed much promise as a student in high school, graduating with top honors. He then
went on to further his education, but dropped out during his first year of college, to take
up his father's mantle as a bounty hunter. He quickly made a name for himself, and was
constantly in high demand by dozens of different races to do their most important
assignments.
With his career, came many risks, and the one he hated most was losing a friend.
During a particular mission, he lost his entire team. He was the only one to make it out
alive from a secret installition where a fugitive was hiding. He finished up his last few
scheduled missions, then began to search for a new career.
A few months after that incident, he decided that from his past encounters with
Starfleet, he would enroll in Starfleet Academy. He again he excelled in school, and
graduated in the top 10% of his class. The skills and techniques he learned as a bounty
hunter allowed him easily gain the reputation of one of the best close-quarters fighters
ever, easily humbling any fellow student who challenged him to war games in the
simulators. .
