History

Personal History Life on the fringe colonies is never easy, especially when most of them are Klingons and you are a quiet, slender Human. James learned very early where all the good hiding spots were to avoid the regular beatings that the Klingon boys said would "make him strong and bring out the warrior in him". James never wanted to be a warrior; he found no pleasure in killing, but in repairing. Not to mention that he got enough crap from his father; he didn't need to get it from the other boys too.

Occasionally, he would help his mother with repairs to the colony's systems, but that only made things worse. But James didn't care; he was in his element, stuffed up a conduit repairing some tiny bit of circuitry or half-buried in a crawlspace replacing a relay.

So when he was of age, James happily left for the Testing Center. He passed the test but was told that there were no spots open at the Earth campus. His mother thought he would be crushed and tried to console him, but James was not crushed; he was determined. He went to his Sponsor and told the man that he didn't care what campus it was as long as he got in. So the next time the wormhole was situated correctly for Starfleet to send more students through to Magellan Campus, James was on that ship.
Medical History James has no medical conditions of note. There is evidence, however, of several broken bones having been knitted previously. He has a minor allergy to mushrooms and no allergies to medications to his knowledge.
