Personal History

His was a modest family in the lunar colony of New Berlin. His father had one of the artificial farms, which was owned by his family since almost the 22th century. Although he was supposed to become a farmer as his father and brother, the fact that Adam would inherite the farm allowed John to start studying at the academy.

His family did not understand him, but they accepted he liked studying, and wanted to be in Starfleet, and they helped him with no problems more than a little argument from time to time.

Now that he is finally at starfleet, his family is still sad that he did not want to work in the farm, but they are happy that he succeded in what he wanted, and he keeps good relations with them.

Other than some little love affairs at the academy, he has not had any serious relations.

Professional History

At the academy, John Valdivia excelled at most science subjects, and was the best at his class at math and theoric phyisics. He, however, was not as good with other subjects, like history which was very hard for him.

He soon graduated, and started training, but he also started working in his Ph.D. at the Regulus III Science Academy, in which he wants to keep working as he serves in Starfleet.

Notes

He is introverted, and has a lack of social abilities, mainly because he loves speaking about mathematics or physics and that makes other people reticent to speaking to him. He often feels frustrated when someone doesn't seem to be able to follow his reasoning, but he accepts that he would not be able to follow conversation about earth politics, so he accepts that everyone has his own field of excellence. He is an expert programmer, and has his own, modified, tricorder, which he prefers to use better than the regular one, always with the permission of the CO.
