Personal History

Maxwell mugging for the holoimager, as he is wont to do at any time, anywhere.

When asked to describe himself, Maxwell Traenor would dryly remark that he is a wholly unremarkable person, and happy to be considered so. He is a genial, easygoing person, quick to laugh and hard to anger. As a young adult, he had no particular ambitions, save a reasonable interest in stellar cartography. He was able to secure a position, first as a civilian contractor, then as an enlisted crewperson, in the Astrometrics department of a large outpost, Starbase 20. He plodded through the ranks, and across a couple large stations, until he found himself stuck in career limbo at Specialist, 3rd class, working on mundane charting tasks. He started to yearn for more, and managed to secure the recommendation of a bemused and sympathetic former commanding officer in order to enlist at Starfleet Academy.

Although he still prefers to remain out of the limelight, and has been chided for having a plodding, methodical nature, Traenor has managed to maintain competent, if middling scores throughout his tenure at the Academy. Yet within him, he is starting to feel a spark of desire for personal growth and gain that had eluded him before. It is that spark which is driving him forward and pushing him to the edge of his comfort zone as he strives to better himself.
