Summary
Stubborn, protective and resourceful, all strong qualities that will lead to a good commander. Andrew possesses all three in differing aptitudes. Sometimes his stubbornness, aka his fatal flaw, gets in his way.
Appearance
Born with blonde hair it makes it easier to change colour should the need arise. He has a bit of scruff on his chin and tends to forget to trim it. His nose is angled, due to him breaking it when he was in the academy playing sports.
Personality
He is used to getting what he wants. Growing up on Starships, and than Starbases, the youngest of five his parents weren’t considered rich, but because of the age differences between his sibblings and him, they had to ability to give him what he wanted.
He is also very calculating. Making sure his next move doesn’t get him into trouble and if it does, he has someone to back him up.
History
Early Life
With the invasion of Earth on everyone’s ‘radar’ he grew up always watching his back and suspiscious of everyone. He joined the Academy at a really young age of 16 due to starfleet’s call for soldiers, following the Dominion war. The need was great. He chose Security and Tactical due to relative closeness to his beliefs of control, and the mastery of Martial Arts at a young age. His Parents were concerned, but couldn’t say anything as their other children had already joined and served in Starfleet.
Academy Life
Joining every sports team he could, and maintaining his 3.75 GTA he quickly made popularity his number one mission. Being young, he was more concerned with what people thought of him than what the greater good would need him to do. Several Counselling sessions lead to dead ends. Finally, it took one Counselor, from Starfleet Medical to quite literally smack him telepathically to make him realize what he was doing.
Starfleet Security – Paris (Presidential Entourage)
Out of the academy he was assigned to Paris, the Presidential Entourage, it was a political move by Starfleet everyone thought, but it didn’t matter, he was proud. He slowly turned into a ‘Playboy’ being known amongst the female and male officers that he was interested in one thing…
While stationed there, he was approached by Starfleet Intelligence in co-operation with Starfleet Security for a mission into the field. He immediately jumped on the opportunity and was offered the rank of Lieutenant. He would choose one more to go with him. He knew exactly who. Meila.
Operation Miller
While on Operation Miller, he suffered several injuries, mostly from the enemy, one on his back by Meila. They were charged with finding information on the adaptations that the Breen were making to their weapons, particularly in the new base that was discovered. Once there and completed they would use Long Range Transporters to beam out, but they found a Time Traveller by the name of Jonathon Miller. Or atleast that is what he told them.
USS Iroquois
After the incident, the team stayed together, they were assigned to the Frigate the Iroquois. Standard missions arose and was constantly attacked by Breen scouts. Finally, the ship was caught offguard and was rendered crippled, Andrew was severely injured and the rest of the crew with the exception of the Medical Officer Meila Tris were injured.
