Character Biography

Born and raised in a small town outside of Wichita Falls, Texas, Robert grew up on the family farm. Like any old farm, there was horses, cattle, fields of grain and corn growing, and of course the rough and rowdy of the southern country mentality. The farm, like those of centuries ago, covered several hundred acres and considered by some as “a living relic of history”. Men on horse back herding cattle, archaic machines that once ran on fossil fuels driving in the fields, and all this may seem noisy to some, but to Robert, this was his quiet and peace.

Growing up, starting from a young age he was taught by his father and grandfather to ride a horse and help with the chores around the farm. He could ride a horse better than most kids his age, and proved it to at the local county rodeos. In high school he was taught many things, including the history of the Federation. Learning of heroes such as Captain Archer of the NX-01 enterprise, Commander Tucker, Chief Scott and the crew of the Enterprise NCC 1701. He’s always been more technically inclined than most and yearning for adventure and challenges, he worked towards gaining a Starfleet commission in hopes of becoming the next great engineering hero. But to his dismay, he was never really book smart as they used to say. It took him three tries to even pass the Star Fleet Academy entrance exams, and to his dismay, once he did receive a ship assignment, was awarded a position as security personnel aboard the USS challenger.

Though his was only a temporary setback in his mind, he swore to make the most of his new assignment, and to put his best efforts forward to be able to see where his new life would take him…
