Background:

• Adam was born in 2367 to Sydney Schroeder, a woman who had become a hermit
• on Earth. Her parents and sister had died in a fire, and she hid herself
• from the rest of the universe on the family homestead. In 2366, then
• Captain Thompson of the Marines had been stationed nearby. He too owned a
• hobby farm and was drawn to the homestead. He befriended the woman and the
• two became really close. Unbeknownst to Sydney, Eric was married and had
• two children back on a starbase. He had been temporarily sent out to a
• training camp on Earth. Things got heated fast quickly between the two and
• during one night of uncontrolled lust, Adam was conceived. Eric told Sydney
• he did not love her and was already married. Despite her initial anger, the
• two remained friends and Eric left on good terms back to the starbase.
• They decided that Sydney was better off raising the boy on the homestead.
• Even if the two had remained together, Sydney detested space travel and
• would have hated living on a starbase. Adam brought such joy to the
• previously lonely woman, and found a new passion for life in the activity
• of raising her son. When Adam was three years old, he had fallen off a
• ladder on the homestead and busted his arm. The doctor who treated the
• toddler was Clint Cornish. After one year of dating, Sydney and Clint
• married, and the boy was adopted by Clint.
• Adam does not remember much of his life before Clint came into it, and
• therefore, he always thought of Clint as his dad, never step dad. He never
• really gave thought to who his real father was, as his mother and Clint had
• always been good to him. Secretly through the years Eric would send an
• inquiry to Sydney about the child.
• Adam is kind, funny and a hard worker. But he also had a dark side to him.
• He could be arrogant, vengeful and smart mouthed to those who 'crossed' him
• in his mind. Those had never been any qualities Sydney possessed and even
• though Clint had a temper, it took a lot to get it out and even then it
• passed on quite softly. Sydney feared Adam's temperament would one day get
• him in trouble and watched over her son the best she could.
• As Adam started entering puberty, he began to wonder about his father. He
• began to get into fights at school due to his inner frustration. He didn't
• want to hurt Clint or his mother with the news he was hoping to find his
• real father, as Clint had always been so good to him. When he was 17 years
• old, he finally demanded the truth to his mother. Sydney had noticed his
• moodiness earlier and anticipated the moment of truth to arrive.
• She arranged for Adam to go see his father at the Starbase he was stationed
• at. The starbase was where he grew an interest in Starfleet. He always
• excelled in psychology in his senior education years and he loved to try
• and figure people out. He met his Marine oriented paternal family and tried
• to embrace them openly as he was curious to see of they shared the same
• personality he did. Unfortunately, his older half siblings rejected him as
• they viewed him as their father's backwoods oops baby. Erica was 25 and
• Josh was 21 when they met Adam, and both had been on leave to come home for
• the occasion.
• The youngest half sister Macey, who was 8 years old at the time had at
• first been good to Adam, happy for another older brother, but she soon took
• the lead of her older full blooded siblings and rejected him. Adam was hurt
• beyond belief. He stayed on for a year, trying to work on building a
• relationship with his father at least. Just as his mother had suspected,
• father and son were both alike with their bad and good sides. So much alike
• they clashed on many things.
• The final straw came when Adam received word that his father Clint had
• died. He was devastated at the news and because he hadn't been there. He
• overheard his sister Macey talking to his sister Erica on video com and
• Erica had giggled "Now he gets to be abandoned by a father all over again."
• Adam grew angrier inside and packed his bags.
• He grew a hate for the Marines because of his family who blackballed him
• and enrolled in the Academy with Sydneys blessing. He was going to prove
• his worth to his father and out smart his siblings but stay loyal to a
• different organization.

Starfleet Academy:

• Adam excelled in Science, Creative Writing, Diplomacy and Piloting. He got
• in some fights still but was learning how to smooth things over with words
• and charm. He was well received by his professors but remained a loner with
• his peers for the most part. He had a couple of relationships at the
• Academy, but he never felt like anyone would understand him fully and kept
• a wall built up. He was good looking and had a mysterious quality about him
• but many girls were intimidated by his intensity.
• He graduated in 2380 with honors. His mother was the only family in
• attendance, although his father did send a fruit basket and a message of
• congratulations.
• His Specialties include:

• Piloting Level V
• Weapons Level III
• Advanced Diplomacy
• Honors Psychology
• Captain of Baseball Alpha Team
• Graduated 8th in his class.

Starfleet Career:

• 2380 - Assigned to the USS Fraser as a Junior Counselor, Ensign Rank
• 2383 - Based on recommendation of Head Counselor of the USS Fraser,
• transferred to the USS Mackenzie as a Senior Counselor.
• 2386 - Achieved the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade on the USS Mackenzie
• 2387 - Transferred to USS Viking and given the Head Counselor position
• 2387 - Requested Transfer to OED V, Counselor.

Medical Record:

• - Broke his arm as a toddler. Healed cleanly and suffers no ills from this
• accident
• - At age 15 during a fight hot coffee was tossed into his face and he
• suffered damage to his optical nerves. He has been treated for this and for
• the most part does not suffer. His peripheral vision is affected in certain
• lighting.
• - In 2384 on an away mission, the shuttle he was being transported in
• crashed and he was the only survivor, suffering minor burns that healed and
• a few broken ribs. Thanks to advanced dermal regeneration, his burn scars
• are seemingly unnoticeable.

Present Day:

• Adam can be night and day still. Certain people will get to meet his sweet
• side while others will come to know his dark side. Nevertheless, he does
• his best to keep his personal life separated from his career, never making
• anyone feel too uncomfortable to come to him for counsel. He still has
• contact with his mother frequently and occasionally sends a message to his
• father. He has infrequent contact with his siblings except for his half brother Josh who is also station on OED V as a Marine
