Background
Marty was born in a beautiful Oregon wine country by Marty and Jean Tucker. Growing up in a winery and small town was only somewhat idyllic. Early on, he learned hard work as he was expected to help around the winery. And that he would, at a young age, show a propensity for fixing things from the family's transporter to harvesting equipment.
He graduated from Admiral Jonathan Archer High School in Molalla, Oregon, towards the top of his class. He turned down a chance to attend MIT to attend CalTech in Pasadena, California. He had considered enlisting after college, but a career day on campus changed that. The recruiter convinced him to attend the Academy and be the first in his family to earn a commission. His father and grandfather were in Starfleet, though they served as NCOs, obtaining the rank of Command Master Chief.
Once he graduated from CalTech, he would enroll in Starfleet. Coming from a small town, it took Marty a while to adjust to academy life. But once he did, he cruised through the engineering program. During his off time, he found a couple of hobbies well, one hobby and another a bit questionable. He developed a fondness for cooking, something he learned by having a restaurant at the winery.
He also had a knack for "creative redistribution of goods." If you couldn't find it on campus, Tuck (as his friends would call him) could most likely obtain it. Nothing large, though there was the Risian Snapping Sea Turtle incident at the Academy pool. He's not allowed to talk about it, and it's a sore spot with upper command at the Academy. While it won him some friends, it got him in trouble nonetheless.
Personal Notes
Food & Drink
Marty considers himself a decent cook, having learned from several chefs at his parent's vineyard. He has no problems using replicators because they're fast and easy, but he prefers real meals, using real food. That's one of the reasons he loves the USS Ronin; Captain Niac's former host was a chef, and he brought a chef aboard for the crew. It's made a world of difference. Some of his favorite dishes to cook are seared scallops with bacon and apple, a nice rib-eye, medium rare, and he's come to like many dishes from Bajor. He'll try anything once. Tucker also has a holo-deck program of the French Laundry and restaurants from around the galaxy.
His favorite alcoholic beverages include many Earth spirits of the 20th century forward. His regular drink is just a well-aged bourbon on the rocks with a splash of citrus soda. Beer is also a favorite of Marty's, having grown up in Oregon, where the beer culture is off the charts. Usually, he'll go with a nice IPA or a Pale Ale. He has been known to put back a drink or three occasionally; hangovers are not his friend.
As far as non-alcoholic beverages are concerned, you will never see him without his raktajino. He has the replicator in his quarters set to produce a cup upon his work alarm going off. He takes it extra strong, lightly sweet.

Hobbies
He likes to tinker and repair things. He's constantly working on his Runabout the Coos Bay. He had a holodeck program that he was rebuilding a nineteen-sixty-four Impala, candy apple red, rag top. Marty is also a voracious reader of anything from sci-fi to technical manuals.
He's also a 20th-century aficionado. From pop culture to music and movies, he loves all of it. At some point, he'd like to try a movie night on the Ronin as a crew-building exercise and to show off his love of the 20th Century.
Games
He loves games, and these are just a few of his favorites. He loves games of chance and is willing to put down some Latinum occasionally. He also enjoys the old earth sport of Hockey, both watching old holos and actually playing the game on the holodeck.

Goals & Ambitions
Marty is early in his Starfleet career but is halfway to his first goal, Chief Of Engineering. Currently, he is the Acting Chief of Engineering and has the chance to drop the acting part. It's been a dream to run his department at a young age. Would he like to see the center seat someday? Who doesn't? Marty knows of a few Captains who kept their engineering titles.
Attire
- On Duty: Normal duty uniform, sleeves rolled up. Sometimes, he'll be in coveralls, but it's rare.
- Off Duty: He's a jeans and t-shirt type off duty. Usually, a band t-shirt from one of the many 20th-century bands and other pop culture references. However, he is also wears his blue "Ronin" t-shirt.
- Formal/Awards/Ceremonies: Mainly his dress whites for fleet-related engagements. He prefers a well-tailored tux if it's a formal affair outside of the fleet.
Personality
Marty has a wicked sense of humor and uses comedy to defuse the situation. Sometimes it doesn't work very well and that is most likely why Luxa Lorana and Tuck don't get along. One wisecrack, and she hates you.
Quirks
- Raktajino before conversation
- Jeffries tubes are his zen place, and usually listens to music
- He's not above pounding on things to get them to work
- Known to go days without sleep if working on a project
- Has a habit of losing PADDs slated for Engineering.
- A bit of a smartass
Marty's Rules
- Rule #1: Never mess with Marty's Raktajino if you want to live
- Rule #2: Always carry a knife
- Rule #5: No such thing as coincidence
- Rule #10: All else fails, reverse the flow
- Rule #14: Bend the line, don't break it
