| Personal History | Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a young boy named Jonathan O'Bryant. He was the youngest of six siblings, born to Agatha and Hector O'Bryant. Jonathan's family was a lively bunch, but their constant bickering and fighting took a toll on his parents' relationship. When Jonathan was just ten years old, his parents made the difficult decision to split up. His father, Hector, took an assignment that allowed him to bring some of the children along. However, Jonathan was left behind, as his oldest brother and older sister were chosen to go with their father. This decision deeply upset Jonathan, as he felt like he should have been the one chosen. Feeling a sense of abandonment and longing for his father, Jonathan's emotions began to spiral out of control. He couldn't understand why he wasn't deemed important enough to be included. The hurt and disappointment he felt turned into a simmering anger, causing him to withdraw from his family and the world around him. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, Jonathan's feelings of resentment grew stronger. His anger began to manifest in destructive ways, seeking an outlet for the pain he carried inside. He would break things, lash out at others, and isolate himself from his siblings. One day, as Jonathan was sitting alone in his room, he stumbled upon an old, dusty journal hidden beneath a pile of clothes. He cautiously opened it, revealing a treasure trove of memories, thoughts, and emotions penned down by his father, Hector. Each page was filled with stories of love, regret, and the struggles of parenting. As Jonathan delved deeper into the journal, he discovered a letter addressed to him. It was a heartfelt apology from his father, expressing his regret for not choosing him to go along on his assignment. Hector explained that he had made the decision based on his perception of each child's needs at the time, but he realized now that he had unintentionally hurt Jonathan. Reading those words brought a mix of emotions to Jonathan's heart. He realized that his father had not intentionally left him behind but had made a difficult choice based on his own understanding. In that moment, Jonathan's anger and resentment began to dissolve, replaced by a longing for reconciliation. With newfound clarity, Jonathan approached his siblings and shared his discovery. They, too, had carried their own burdens of guilt for being chosen over him. Together, they decided to write a heartfelt letter to their father, expressing their desire for healing and forgiveness. Upon receiving the letter, Hector was overcome with emotions. He realized the pain he had caused his children through his decisions, and he deeply regretted not recognizing Jonathan's need for his presence. Determined to make things right, he returned to the town to reunite with his children. His father's time did not last long in the city, Starfleet call them back to service as a first officer aboard a small patrol vessel it was not allowed to take any of the children with them, and Agatha was making things more demanding stating that he needed to be more active in their life. This only refueled his anger towards his father. As time went on, Jonathan's feelings of anger and resentment grew. He found an outlet for his emotions through destructive behavior, causing vandalism and wreaking havoc in the town. Each act of destruction gave him a temporary sense of release, but it only escalated his troubles. One day, as Jonathan was about to embark on another destructive spree, he stumbled upon an old, dusty book hidden in the attic. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened the book. To his surprise, he discovered that it was filled with stories of adventure, hope, and redemption. When Jonathan was a rowdy kid. He was caught vandalizing bus stops and local theatre's in town. He was given community service, and during that time he discovered that he liked some of the ideals of Starfleet. He was ordered to provide 120 hours of community service adder's pay stock. His primary responsibility was to take care of the arboretum. It was during that time he met a science officer but the name of Ru'ak a Tellarite science officer. He really like the snarky and almost vulgar like attitude of the science officer the two formed upon that they still talk to this day. In the vast expanse of the galaxy, on a space station orbiting a distant planet, there lived a Tellarite alien named Ru'ak. Ru'ak was known for their wisdom, kindness, and dedication to helping others. One fateful day, Ru'ak crossed paths with a curious and adventurous 10-year-old boy named Jonathan O'Bryant. Jonathan, involuntarily became a resident of the space station, and he was drawn to the arboretum, where Ru'ak often spent their time. The young boy's fascination with space and science filled his heart with wonder, and he found solace in the presence of Ru'ak. Recognizing Jonathan's passion, Ru'ak took him under their wing, becoming his mentor and guide. Jonathan's community service involved assisting at the space talk, where he would share his knowledge and experiences with other children. Ru'ak, impressed by Jonathan's dedication and enthusiasm, encouraged him to continue exploring his love for science and space exploration. Even after his community service ended, Jonathan would volunteer three times a week, eagerly immersing himself in the world of science at the space station. As the years passed, Jonathan's bond with Ru'ak grew stronger. Ru'ak became more than just a mentor; they became a true friend and confidant. They helped mold and shape Jonathan's character, instilling in him values of compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for the sciences. Through their friendship, Jonathan learned to face challenges head-on and developed a strong sense of empathy towards others. Ru'ak stood by his side, providing guidance and support during difficult moments, including a few heartbreaks from failed relationships. Their unwavering friendship acted as a guiding light during Jonathan's journey to adulthood. When Jonathan completed high school, he found himself at a crossroads, unsure of what path to take. It was then that Ru'ak, now a respected and influential member of the space station, sponsored Jonathan's application to become a Starfleet officer. Ru'ak believed in Jonathan's potential and saw in him the qualities of a true leader. With Ru'ak's sponsorship, Jonathan embarked on a new chapter of his life, enrolling in Starfleet Academy. He immersed himself in his studies, excelling in the field of science, just as he had always dreamed. The knowledge and skills he had acquired, coupled with the lessons learned from Ru'ak, propelled him towards success. Years later, Jonathan emerged from Starfleet Academy as a confident and capable officer, ready to make a difference in the vast reaches of space. With Ru'ak's guidance and support, he had earned the rank of Captain, a testament to his dedication and hard work. Jonathan's journey from a curious young boy to a Starfleet officer was a testament to the transformative power of friendship and mentorship. Ru'ak's belief in him had not only shaped Jonathan's character but had ignited a passion for the sciences within Starfleet. As he ventured into the unknown, Jonathan carried with him the lessons and values instilled by his dear friend, Ru'ak, forever grateful for their impact on his life. Starfleet Academy: Earth In the bustling halls of Starfleet Academy, where the brightest minds of the galaxy converged, two best friends, Jonathan O'Bryant and Blake Gomez, found themselves embarking on a thrilling journey of knowledge and adventure. Jonathan, with his insatiable curiosity and love for the sciences, had enrolled in the prestigious Starfleet Academy to pursue his dreams of exploration and discovery.

One day, while engrossed in a complex science project, Jonathan and Blake's experiments took an unexpected turn. Their project, designed to harness the power of antimatter, went slightly awry, causing a minor disruption within the academy's energy grid. It was an accident, a result of their boundless enthusiasm and desire to push the boundaries of scientific understanding. Though their actions caused a temporary disruption, it was nothing that would warrant expulsion from the academy. The incident caught the attention of their classmates, Brian Murray and Theodore Macdonald, who were always up for an adventure. Intrigued by Jonathan and Blake's scientific endeavors, they decided to join forces, forming an inseparable quartet of friends. Their misadventures continued, but always within the realm of good-natured mischief. They would often find themselves in the middle of eccentric experiments, creating dazzling displays of light and sound that left their professors both impressed and exasperated. When they weren't engrossed in their scientific pursuits, the friends would gather to binge-watch sports together. They would cheer on their favorite teams, embracing the camaraderie and excitement that came with each game. It was during these moments of relaxation that they found solace and joy in each other's company, strengthening the bond of their friendship. As their time at Starfleet Academy progressed, Jonathan, Blake, Brian, and Theodore became known for their resourcefulness and creativity. They became the go-to group for solving complex problems that required a unique approach. Their fiery friendship fueled their determination, allowing them to overcome obstacles that others deemed insurmountable. Together, they pushed the boundaries of what was possible, not only in the field of science but also in the realm of friendship. Their escapades, though occasionally resulting in minor mishaps, were always driven by a genuine desire to learn and grow. Upon graduation, Jonathan, Blake, Brian, and Theodore each embarked on their own paths within Starfleet.

As they ventured into the vastness of space, their fiery friendship continued to burn bright, fueling their collective passion for exploration and discovery. They would forever cherish the memories of their time at Starfleet Academy, where their friendship had blossomed amidst science projects gone slightly astray but always leading to good trouble. USS Lovejoy In the year 2392, Jonathan found himself aboard the USS Lovejoy, a formidable Federation carrier of the Shelby class. As a junior officer, he was filled with anticipation and a burning desire to prove himself in the vast reaches of space. During his time on the Lovejoy, Jonathan had the privilege of meeting the esteemed Domingo Martinez, the ship's first officer. Domingo possessed an open and approachable personality, coupled with a mentor-like mentality that instantly drew Jonathan towards him. There was something captivating about Domingo's ability to see potential in others before they even recognized it themselves. He had a unique gift of understanding and reading people, effortlessly bringing out their best qualities. Jonathan admired Domingo's insight and guidance, cherishing the opportunity to learn from someone with such profound wisdom. Domingo's mentorship not only enhanced Jonathan's skills as an officer but also instilled in him a sense of purpose and confidence. In August of 2392, Domingo presented Jonathan with his first significant opportunity. Jonathan was assigned to join an away team on a crucial mission, a chance to prove his capabilities and make a tangible difference. Excitement surged through his veins as he prepared himself for the challenges that lay ahead. The away mission unfolded with precision and skill, thanks to the leadership and guidance of Domingo. Jonathan found himself working alongside a diverse group of individuals, each with their own unique talents and expertise. As the mission progressed, Jonathan's keen eye for recognizing people's strengths and potential proved invaluable. He effortlessly brought the team together, utilizing their collective skills to overcome obstacles and achieve success. The mission's triumph was not only a result of Jonathan's dedication and hard work but also a testament to Domingo's belief in him. The commendation he received for his contributions was a testament to his growing reputation as a capable and promising officer. Jonathan's bond with Domingo continued to flourish, as their shared experiences forged a deep and enduring friendship. Domingo's mentorship inspired Jonathan to continually strive for excellence, never losing sight of his innate ability to bring out the best in others. Throughout his career, Jonathan would often reflect on that fateful mission and the impact Domingo had on his life. He would remember the lessons learned, the friendships forged, and the unwavering belief in his potential. With each new challenge he faced, Jonathan would carry Domingo's mentorship in his heart, always seeking to inspire and uplift those around him, just as Domingo had done for him. As the years passed, Jonathan would rise through the ranks, leaving an indelible mark on the Federation and beyond. And amidst the vast expanse of space, he would forever be grateful for the friendship and mentorship of Domingo Martinez, a beacon of light in his journey of exploration and self-discovery. In 2394, Jonathan found himself remaining aboard the USS Lovejoy, where he was given the opportunity to serve as the assistant chief science officer. Little did he know that his life was about to take an unexpected turn. During his time on the Lovejoy, Jonathan crossed paths with Riley Godfrey, a dedicated and detail-oriented individual who had been appointed as Domingo's new yeoman. At first, Jonathan couldn't help but perceive Riley as somewhat uptight and lacking a sense of fun. However, as he got to know her better, he began to notice the beauty that lay beneath her rough exterior – a gentler soul that intrigued him. Driven by his growing attraction towards Riley, Jonathan mustered the courage to ask her out on a date. Their first few outings were enjoyable, but Jonathan soon realized that their relationship wouldn't flourish unless he could find a way to help Riley let loose and embrace spontaneity. Thus, he proposed that they have a few drinks together. As the fourth date came around, Jonathan and Riley found themselves on the vibrant planet of Risa, indulging in a few too many drinks. The effects of the alcohol were stronger than anticipated, and in a whirlwind of emotions, they ended up eloping. However, the situation took an unexpected twist when Riley discovered that she was pregnant with their unborn child. Feeling a sense of responsibility towards their unborn child, Riley decided against getting a divorce, and Jonathan couldn't deny the chemistry that had developed between them. Though Jonathan regretted his initial idea of using alcohol to loosen Riley up, they both resolved to make the best of their situation and stay married. By 2395, their son Miles was born, bringing joy and a newfound sense of purpose to their lives. Despite the odds and the unconventional circumstances that brought them together, Jonathan and Riley embarked on a journey of love, commitment, and parenthood, cherishing the unexpected love story that had unfolded. The story you've shared revolves around Jonathan, who was given the opportunity to serve as the department head after the tragic death of the chief science officer during an away mission. Jonathan felt nervous about taking on this role due to the circumstances of his predecessor's passing. He blamed himself, as his background in chemistry made him wonder if he could have made a difference if he had been on that mission instead. During a terrorist attack, Jonathan learned that the federation wasn't the primary target, but the local government they were trying to assist. He was informed that the incident was an accident, but he couldn't help but think that it could have been avoided if he had been on the mission. This realization made him contemplate his next steps while adjusting to his new position as the chief science officer. Despite the challenges and guilt he felt, Captain Martinez decided to promote Jonathan from within instead of bringing in an outsider to lead the science department. This decision showcased the trust and confidence the captain had in Jonathan's abilities. USS Shran In the year 2397, Jonathan received an incredible opportunity to serve as a second officer on the USS Shran, a new comet-class starship dedicated to deep space scientific discoveries. It was a golden chance for him, and he hoped his wife, Riley, would be interested in joining him. At first, Jonathan almost passed up the opportunity, but Riley convinced him to take it, as she too desired a new adventure as an assistant chief diplomatic officer on the USS Lovejoy. They agreed to be apart for only a year. Jonathan bid farewell to the USS Lovejoy and embarked on his journey aboard the USS Shran. Despite their elopement, Jonathan had developed a strong bond with his wife and their child. Transitioning back to being a single person proved to be harder than he had anticipated. He devoted most of his time and effort to his duties, striving to excel as an officer. By the end of 2397, Jonathan's commitment and dedication earned him a recommendation for the position of first officer. While he felt honored, he believed there was still more to learn and wanted to complete a second term before considering the promotion. Throughout his missions with the crew of the USS Shran, one particular mission stood out to Jonathan. They had successfully saved an Andorian colony from pirates, an act that went against the federation's passive approach with non-aligned worlds. Although officially reprimanded for his actions, Captain Alcar's loyalty and determination to protect his people struck a chord with Jonathan. He believed such loyalty deserved recognition, so he decided to continue serving on the USS Shran, despite his captain's suggestion to consider promotion. During the year-long separation, Jonathan and Riley maintained constant contact, which only reaffirmed Jonathan's realization that being apart was more challenging than he had ever imagined. He contemplated stepping down from his department head role but Riley convinced him that he had the strength to endure it. As their time apart neared its end, Jonathan looked forward to reuniting with Riley and their child. The experiences and growth he had gained during his time on the USS Shran had shaped him into a better officer and a more appreciative husband. The future held new adventures for both Jonathan and Riley, and together they would continue to explore the vastness of space and strengthen their bond as a family. In 2398, Riley and Miles finally joined Jonathan on the USS Shran, marking a joyous reunion for the family. It turned out that the Chief Diplomatic Officer. This was a fantastic opportunity for Riley to further her career. From starting as a yeoman under Captain Jacobs, she had risen to become a chief diplomatic officer, with the potential to command her own ship in the near future. Jonathan's unwavering loyalty and admiration for his new captain had inadvertently caused him to overlook the possibility of pursuing a command position himself. The incident with the Andorians from the previous year had shifted his priorities slightly. Fortunately, Riley managed to have a heartfelt conversation with him, urging him to reevaluate his decisions. By early 2399, Jonathan began to consider embarking on a new adventure of his own. For the remainder of the year, Jonathan dedicated himself to honing his skills as a dependable second officer. He continued to excel in his missions and work harmoniously with his crew. His diplomatic prowess and problem-solving abilities were recognized on multiple occasions, earning him praise from both his superiors and colleagues. The crew grew to respect and appreciate Jonathan for his dedication and contributions to the ship. As time went on, Jonathan realized that his true potential extended beyond being a second officer. His experiences and interactions with the crew had ignited a newfound ambition within him. With Riley's unwavering support and encouragement, Jonathan began to envision himself in a leadership role. During this year the couple also gave birth to their second child. By the end of 2399, Jonathan had made the decision to pursue command. He embarked on a path of further training and development, eager to step into the role of a commanding officer. With the skills he had honed as a second officer and the unwavering support of his family, Jonathan set his sights on a bright future commanding his own ship, ready to face the challenges and discoveries that awaited him in the vastness of space. Starbase Wake Island In the year 2400, Riley and Jonathan had recently welcomed their baby girl into the world. Riley took some time off to care for their newborn, but she soon found herself missing the exhilaration and opportunities that Starfleet had provided for their family. It was during this time that an old friend, Commodore Domingo Martinez, reached out to offer them an extraordinary opportunity. Commodore Martinez extended an invitation for both Riley and Jonathan to join him at his star base. Riley was offered the position of second officer on a support vessel, while Jonathan was offered the role of first officer on another support ship. Little did they know, this would be the start of a remarkable journey that would shape their lives and challenge their beliefs. As they settled into their new roles, Riley, Jonathan, and Commodore Martinez discovered shocking information about the Romulan involvement in the synthetic war and their influence in pushing the Federation towards passivity. This revelation left them deeply disappointed with the Federation, and they soon realized they were not alone in their sentiments. Instead of succumbing to anger, Commodore Martinez took a different approach. He began pushing for the relaunch of the exploration initiative, determined to reignite the spirit of adventure and discovery within Starfleet. Despite being rejected four times by Starfleet Command, he refused to back down. It was only after the fifth attempt that they finally took his proposal seriously and reactivated the Eighth Fleet, appointing him as the Eighth Fleet Tactical Wing Division Director. Under Commodore Martinez's guidance, the Eighth Fleet was formed, and he served as its interim commander until Admiral Ward assumed official command. Meanwhile, Jonathan found himself serving as the executive officer of the USS Ottawa, while Riley held the position of second officer on the USS Livingston. In 2401, the first officer of the USS Livingston was offered command of his own ship, leaving a vacancy that Riley was promoted to fill as the new first officer. This promotion inadvertently caused some tension between Jonathan and Riley, as he felt overlooked and questioned his abilities. However, the truth was that their captain had been immensely impressed with Riley's performance and believed she would excel in the role of first officer. Despite the initial strain, Jonathan and Riley continued to support each other as they navigated their respective roles within Starfleet. Their shared determination to make a difference and challenge the status quo brought them closer together, strengthening their bond as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives. Together, they would face numerous challenges, make difficult decisions, and encounter unimaginable discoveries. As they worked alongside Commodore Martinez and other like-minded individuals, they began to reshape the Federation's approach, rekindling the spirit of exploration and paving the way for a future that embraced both peace and the pursuit of knowledge. In the year 2402, Starfleet finally granted approval for the construction of the Valhalla Fleet Yards. The project began in January, with the USS Ottawa assigned the mission of patrolling the Rosa sector. Assisting them in this endeavor was the USS Livingstone, acting as a command ship during the construction phase. Jonathan couldn't help but feel a sense of skepticism towards the Eagle family's involvement in the project. From the limited information he had gathered, it seemed that they were retired traders who had transitioned into the business of selling antiques at exorbitant prices. Jonathan found it difficult to understand their connection to such a significant undertaking. However, despite his reservations, the next two years turned out to be a golden period for Jonathan. He had the opportunity to spend ample time with his wife, Riley, aboard the USS Livingstone, and they cherished the precious moments they could share with their two young children. Jonathan also found fulfillment in mentoring and supporting his crew on the USS Ottawa, as they worked diligently to fulfill their patrol duties. As the years progressed, Jonathan and Riley made the most of their time together, juggling their responsibilities as first officers on their respective ships. Their dedication and commitment did not go unnoticed, and in 2404, they were presented with a remarkable opportunity. Both Jonathan and Riley were offered positions at the newly established Starfleet Academy on Planet Rosa, where they would attend the prestigious Command Academy. This offer was a testament to their exceptional skills and demonstrated leadership. Despite the challenges and sacrifices it would entail, they both knew that this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up. Excitement and anticipation filled their hearts as they prepared to embark on this new chapter of their lives. The Command Academy at Starfleet Academy on Planet Rosa would provide them with the knowledge, training, and experiences necessary to become future commanders and leaders within Starfleet. They were eager to learn and grow, knowing that this endeavor would not only shape their own careers but also contribute to the advancement of the Federation as a whole. Jonathan and Riley approached this opportunity with a sense of determination and gratitude. They were ready to immerse themselves in the academy's rigorous curriculum, forge new relationships, and absorb the wisdom of seasoned Starfleet officers. They knew that the journey ahead would be demanding, but they were prepared to face every challenge head-on. As they bid farewell to their current assignments and prepared to embark on this new adventure, Jonathan and Riley were filled with a sense of hope and excitement. They were destined for greatness, and the Command Academy would serve as the catalyst for their rise within Starfleet. Little did they know that the path they were about to tread would lead them to even greater heights, unveiling mysteries, testing their resolve, and shaping them into the leaders they were destined to become. The future held countless possibilities, and Jonathan and Riley were ready to embrace them, hand in hand, as they ventured into the hallowed halls of the Command Academy. |
