| Personal History | Like all of his species now, Jo'ohn was not born on a planet, but in space, on a station. He was born on Deep Space 4, located just outside the Alpha Orionis System. His parents both had small businesses on the station. He is the oldest of three children. At the age of six, a Betelgeusian decides which of the Heroes (there are seven major ones, but numerous minor heroes) he will strive to emulate. Jo'ohn chose Altaa the Warrior. He lives his life in the way that his chosen hero would do so. His entire childhood was spent on the station. While there, he learned about numerous cultures and races. He learned how each species chose to hunt and began learning the many different weapons that each race tended to prefer to use, both in a hunt and in combat. His two favorites were the bat'leth from Qo'nos and katana from Earth. When he reached adulthood, he decided to branch out and join Starfleet. During his Academy years, it quickly became obvious that his talents leaned towards tactical and security positions. While his work in these positions was stellar, his hot headedness and recklessness did tend to get him into trouble with his instructors. Upon graduation, his first assignment was aboard the USS George Washington as a weapons officer in the torpedo magazine. He spent the next three years learning the finer points of torpedo maintenance and use for all of the different types of torpedoes in Starfleet's arsenal. His next duty assignment was to the USS Rutledge. When he joined the crew, he moved to security and became a security officer. He began studying the legal aspect of the job and in two years, received a bachelors degree in law enforcement. Upon receiving his degree, he was promoted from ensign to lieutenant (junior grade), and moved into the open slot of Assistant Sec/Tac Chief. He would remain in this position for the remainder of his time aboard the Rutledge. He put his time to good use, earning a masters degree in law enforcement and a bachelors degree in legal ethics. His next assignment was to the USS Einstein. He filled the now vacant slot of Chief Sec/Tac, after the former chief was transferred to another duty station. With the transfer, and in recognition of his continuing education, he was promoted to lieutenant. Though his time aboard the Einstein was short, he served honorably and with distinction, saving the Captain's life once during a run-in with a Romulan renegade. Jo'ohn took a dagger in the back when he shielded his commanding officer from a suprise attack. After he recovered from his injuries, he was recognized by being promoted to Lieutenant Commander. Shortly after his promotion, the Einstein suffered a catastrophic engine failure, causing all hands to abandon ship. Unfortunately, the ship's commanding officer, and most of the senior staff were unable to escape the ship in time, losing their lives in the resulting explosion. Jo'ohn, and the remaining survivors limped through space in escape pods for two weeks, until their emergency beacons were finally picked up by Starfleet. The survivors were rescued by the USS Rivera, an old Oberth class vessel, modified to be a field hospital ship. Upon their return to Earth, the crew of the Einstein scattered throughout the fleet. Jo'ohn was notified of the Chief Tactical/Srcurity Officer position that had opened up on the USS Sullivans. He immediately applied, wanting to get away from Earth and back out into deep space. |
