Quarters

  • USS Enterprise-C - Ensign: Deck 8, Section 10, Compartment 2. Near the Computer Core. Standard Ensign crew accommodation. Slightly messy on first glance, but actually arranged perfectly for James. On the walls are some old posters, including the full album art for Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' and a advert for the Atari 1040 ST. Both replicated. Notable features around the room are various old computers in various states, ranging from the ancient Atari 1040 ST (replicated) to a custom computer built using a last generation x86 processor. There is also a large pile of books near the rooms bed, with a single PADD on top containing far more books than the room could ever hold.

  • Children: None
  • Parents

Backstory

James was born in the city of Shi'Kahr, Vulcan on the 30th of April 2369. His Father is a Physicist named T'pau, who is half-Vulcan and his mother is a Terran computer programmer called Kaname Nakamura. He was named after his great-grandfather Admiral Nakamura (not Starfleet).

His childhood was mostly spent studying. Even from a young child he wanted nothing more than to succeed academically, and that he did. At the age of 11 he passed the Kahs-Wan and was admitted into the Shi'kahr Academy. The next 5 years of his life are not practically fond times for James and is part of the reason why is emotional shell is so dense. James was mercilessly teased by his fellow students due to his 'impure' heritage. Regularly he was told that "I have noted many resemblances between your Mother and an Earth rodent of the subfamily Cricetinae, while my nose, which is ten times stronger than that of a human, could not fail to detect around your Father a powerful odor of plants in the genus Sambucus." and that "You are so deficient in intellect, that when instructed to bring back a fruit-filled baked pastry, you search for a rational sum for the ratio of the circumference of a circular area to that of a straight segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints are on the circumference.".

By 2385 James had graduated from Shi'kahr with honours. He entred Starfleet Academy a year early taking Engineering as his major and Com/Ops as his minor. He took Com/Ops in order to have a better understanding of the systems he'd someday have to repair. In 2389 he finally graduated from Starfleet Academy and joined the USS Discovery-C as a Com/Ops officer.
