| Personal History | The Early Years: Gente was born to Argentino Ramon López and Esperanza Carmen López-Fonsi on June 15, 2382. He was the second child out of three. He was born on Nova 3, when his mother was an ambassador for Starfleet. Gente was born on Nova 3, but does not consider himself a Novian. He was born in the Federation Embassy, and his parents are from Earth. He considers himself human and calls Earth home. Despite spending very little time on Earth. Gente has an older brother and a younger sister. Being the middle child, he always felt the need to prove himself, he began to develop a competitive spirit. His early childhood was in several competitions. Gente had to prove he was better, stronger and smarter than his brother. Once he had a taste for competition. His brother was not satisfying his need to prove he was better than everyone else. Gente competed in sports and academics. He had to prove to himself and to the entire school that he was the best. His parents tried to discourage this behavior. He learned how to hide his ego, but learning how to be overly friendly and flirtatious. This rivalry also went into who could pick up girlfriends. Who could have the hottest girlfriends! This gave Gente a bad reputation at school, and it was not till his junior year where he was finally to be free of his brother's influence. Starfleet Academy: Betazed Gente started grade school in the fall of 2388 and graduated high school in 2400. He was accepted to Starfleet Operations Academy in 2400, and graduated in 2404. Gente had a real interesting academy experience. As a first year cadet, Gente signed up for every advanced class he could. His professors were a little concerned, he was trying to hard to prove himself. Despite their concerns, he excelled in his studies and pushed himself to the limits. By his second year into the academy, Gente kept asking for more challenges, his instructors and professors kept offering him more challenges, but he started to become frustrated. He started to go to the 602 club to blow off steam, and learned what he calls balance. His whole work hard and play hard mentality. By his third year at the academy he completed his academy academics, and was well ahead of his fellow cadets in his academics. However his professors thought he could benefit from a tour in deep space. He was placed on a ten month rotation of duty tour. And Assigned to work at Tora Station asan operation specialist. Gente felt the tasks were too easy and hated his time in the Tora Colony. He knew he was destined for something better. He hoped Starfleet would place him on a starship. He knew he could not advance his career working on a colony outpost, doing mundane tasks. He hoped his fourth year residency would be better so he spoke to his instructors about getting a new assignment. By his fourth and final year at the academy, he was placed back into academic studies and focused on completing his academy courses. His instructors and professors were impressed that he did not miss a beat. He started to push himself hard. He graduated fourth in his class, a decision that did not sit over too well with him. The reason he was told for being fourth in his class, his temporary assignment to the USS Merced, a California Class starship. Even though the assignment could be classified as uneventful, he really appreciated the skill he learned on the starship. He agreed but did not feel that he was being punished because Starfleet sent him to a dead end job. His instructors and professors disagreed, saying that he needed to take every assignment no matter how remedial and make the best of it. From Starfleet Academy days through his assignment on the USS Arlington, Gente never had a chance to date. He burred himself into his work. He was trying to be promoted to Chief Operations Officer. Gente completed the academy and was granted the commission rank of Ensign in Starfleet. He was proud of his commission and told himself that he would someday become a starfleet chief operations officer. Gente was assigned to the USS Arlington and worked his way up to Assistant Operations Officer in less than one year. In 2405 there were several openings with Valhalla Fleet Yards for operations officers; he practically applied for all the Chief positions he could. Captain Brandon Reed decided to give him a chance and he transferred to the USS Dragonstar. |
