Background

---

Connor was born and raised near Los Angeles in California, where his parents run a small, but well-known restaurant in the area. His father, Richard, runs the front, while his mother, Ava, was an excellent cook. Until his first day of school, he - together with his loved sister - got the chance to be around a lot and took in the idyllic atmosphere of a well run family restaurant. During school, he never faced any challenge, made a lot of friends and had a terrific childhood.

Since then, cooking has been something he took with him on his journey through life. While he sometimes thought that he might take his parents' offer to learn to be a professional chef in their own restaurant, during his high-school years he learned that there was an even greater passion: Repairing whatever was broken in the kitchen. He was extraordinarily gifted when it came to fixing the stove, the exhaust or the baking oven. This laid a lot of groundwork during the coming years for several engineering projects Connor did and, finally, for his choice to become an engineer.

The impulse to join Starfleet then came from his grandparents, who had both been Starfleet officers. His mother was raised on several Starships and had a lot of interesting stories about what it was like to be on Starfleet vessels as a kid. It was on Christmas Eve in his last high school year, that his grandparents told him the story of their first mission together and what it meant to them to be part of the Starfleet family. So, after high school - while still being a kid to a substantial degree - Connor decided that he wanted to embark on that adventure, much to the liking of his parents and grandparents.

During his four years at the Academy, he recurrently came home to his family, sharing a strong bond with all of them. He managed to excel in engineering classes while taking on Science as his minor. He made a lot of friends during those years, not least because he spent a lot of time at the local bars.

It was until 2398 that Connor never had to deal with doubt, grief or pain in his life. During this year, his sister succumbed to a rare disease that could not be treated. This set Connor's world on fire and gave him a deep sense of insecurity. During the coming year, he had to fight through the pain and try to stay on his track while challenging a lot of his own decisions and his ability to cope with challenges. Shortly after, he got his orders to get to Starbase 118 to finish his academy training. While this was once what he strived for, the separation from his family made it even harder on him. He, however, tries to keep his insides sealed and measures himself by the same standards he did before the incident.

Relationships

Family

Richard and Ava Dewitt Earth Parents Connor's father is the heart and soul of the restaurant he runs together with his wife, Connor's mother, the restaurant's cook. Connor shared a good relationship with both of them. And though his father would have liked for him to take over the restaurant one day, he accepted Connor's choice to join Starfleet and supported him since day one. His mother grew up on starship's and played no small part in Connor's decision when she told all the stories she experienced growing up.

Christine Dewitt Earth Sister (deceased in 2398) Connor shared a loving relationship with his sister. They grew up together in the restaurant of their parents and spent a lot of time together. She died in 2398 due to a rare decease that could not be cured. Her death shattered Connor's world and he had a hard time ever since to get back on his feet.

Emma and Bernard Foster Earth Grandparents Connor's grandparents - and parents of Ava - met during an assignment on the USS Bellorophon. His grandmother Emma was an engineer during all her career, while his grandfather Bernard had his own command during the last years of his carreer. Both of them heavily influenced Connor's decision to also pick up a life in Starfleet.

Starfleet

Lieutenant junior Grade Jacin Ayemet USS Arrow Fiancée Connor and Ayemet met during his first away mission to a Sehliak ship. The young engineer had been consumed by his self-doubts and was terrified aboard the ship. Ayemet helped him through this with her witty and edgy comments. Since then they have been on multiple dates. Connor had difficulties to define their relationship until Ayemet finally proposed to him during shore leave in a Risian holiday resort.

Captain Randal Shayne USS Arrow Captain and Mentor Connor has his difficulties with decisions that come with climbing the hierarchy of Starfleet. He found Captain Shayne's self-aware nature to be highly respectable and looks up to him for guidance in this journey.
