Personal History and Origin

---

Ian hails originally from Ireland and grew up in a small village. He knew early on that he wanted to join Starfleet because of his uncle who would occasionally come for visits while on leave and tell stories of his travels. Ian had the grades and ability to obtain entrance to the Academy but he had had a few too many “incidents” on his school record. His uncle arranged a job as a diplomatic shuttle pilot on and around Earth while trying to help Ian enter the Academy. He worked there for about a year and a half before Ian was fired due to getting engaged to a Vulcan Ambassador’s daughter. They had been dating for about a year against the family’s explicit wishes. However, that same Ambassador’s letter of recommendation to the Academy had already gone through and Ian was accepted for the next term. Ian had fallen hard for his new fiancé and was devastated when she ultimately chose his family over him. He generally excelled at the Academy despite his shaky entrance, which earned him the disdain of several professors. Knowing that caused a short bout of anxiety near the end final term at the Academy.

Psychology Report

Excerpts from the case notes of Lt. Cmdr. Sigmunds of Starfleet Academy

“…While Cadet Ian O’Connor isn’t a rule breaker per se, he does believe in bending them. He sees this as part of the negotiation process…”

“…Mr. O’Connor does not take well to losing. He makes it a point to try and even the score. An obsession? No, not quite, but definitely a priority…”

“…Mr. O’Connor has never truly dealt with his abandonment issues regarding his father. This seems to impact his relationships with his peers. He appears to keep his friends and romances superficial. There are definite commitment concerns here…”

“…Cadet O’Connor lacks long-term goals. He immerses himself in the greatest challenge of the moment and then progresses to the next one without setting his sights further…”

“In our last few sessions Cadet O’Connor has seemed more anxious. His stated worrying about things that I wouldn’t have thought would have concerned him before. He truly seems to want to excel in his last weeks at the Academy. He is putting extra pressure on himself to attain excellence in his final reviews.”
