Chronological History

---

Jo was born in Seattle, Washington. When she turned two she was sent to a college preparatory school that guaranteed that children would with be starting or be done with their first college degree by the time they graduated 12th grade, because her parents (her father a medical doctor and her mother a doctor of xenobiology) expected high things from her. Though her grades were a little below average for such an advanced school, she was able to have started both a degree in xenobiology and in pre-medical by the time she turned 17 and graduated.

Jo hadn’t dreamed of the stars when she was young. If she was really honest, her father Dr. Warrin Jojovich had scared it out of her. His years in the Fleet found him in bed with someone who was definitely not her mother, Dr. Jean Collins, a xenobiologist in Seattle where she’d grown up. The products of Warrin’s affair were Jo’s half-brother, Tau Jojovich, and a divorce. Tau was born when Jo was 7, and though they didn’t live together, as Jo got older she made a point to have a connection with him. Even before the divorce, Jo’s birth certificate read both of their last names, and her first name Arika, which had been chosen by her father based on his aboriginal roots. Her friends had called her Jo or Jojo since she was young, seldom did anyone use her real first name. She’d also asked that she be referred to as Dr. Collins or when it came to formalities.

After graduating, Jo went south for college and attended the University of California in San Francisco. While attending University, she began to become skittish and anxious, due to the amount of time she spent alone in public areas. She finished both her xenobiology and pre-med bachelors and by the time she was 20 she was ready for medical school. She stayed at UCSF to finish her requirements, but was able to get her residency in a sort of unorthodox way.

Through her connections at UCSF, she landed an internship with a “galaxy-renowned” xenoanatomical researcher, Teneck (who was Vulcan) through whom she received her license to practice on both the people of Earth and a plethora of other humanoid species. Though she wasn’t as smart as Teneck by far, the two developed an unlikely friendship and Jo was able to pick up loads of medical experience with all different kinds of species. Though the experience was extremely enriching, one setback was that due to the fact that she and Teneck were constantly traveling and encountering new enemies, Jo’s anxiety got worse and it was something she’d deal with through Academy and even beyond. Teneck pushed her to join Star Fleet to exercise the expertise she gained through her extraordinary experience with him, and though she was wary of the idea, she enlisted.
