Born in the Argra Biovent on the Medusan homeworld -- known to natives as Visalayan -- Frankenstein was the third of seventy-one Medusan birthings of the year 2014. As Medusans are formed in the biovents of their planet's crust, rather than "born" in the same manner as corporeal beings, Frankenstein did not have parents, but rather was raised and educated in the Medusan communal parentage system, which is where he began to learn about one of the most important aspects of life to most if not all Medusans -- art. For Frankenstein, music held particular interest and it was through his studies of music that he became fascinated with humanoids in general and humans in particular. | Born in the Argra Biovent on the Medusan homeworld -- known to natives as Visalayan -- Frankenstein was the third of seventy-one Medusan birthings of the year 2014.

In studying the music of the corporeal species, Frankenstein also began to explore these creatures -- so vastly different from his fellow Medusans -- from a scientific perspective. He was fascinated by their functioning, their biology, their fragility and paradoxically their resilience. | In studying the music of the corporeal species, Frankenstein also began to explore these creatures -- so vastly different from his fellow Medusans -- from a scientific perspective. He was fascinated by their functioning, their biology, their fragility and paradoxically their resilience. It was this fascination that led him to devote himself to the medical sciences, downgrading his musical studies to the status of hobby. | ||
His medical studies have led him to many Federation and then Starfleet facilities, where he became adept at many disciplines, including hos two favourites, virology and xenocuriatology -- the science of using genetic material from one species to treat illness or injury in another. | |||
Frustrations regarding the limitation of his interaction with subjects while confined to a traditional carrier pod led to Frankenstein delving into the science of robotics. With the help of some sympathetic hands at the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, his exo-suit was constructed. | |||
Clearly his name is not actually Victor Frankenstein. His name is in fact extremely difficult for the vocal chords of corporeal beings to reproduce, so he selected a more human name for himself. | |||

Despite having extensively studied humanoids, Frankenstein's knowledge of social interaction is extremely limited. His experience with social and cultural dynamics is almost entirely academic and theoretical and this, combined with the vast differences between his own people and those races populating the ranks of Starfleet can and do lead to some very awkward moments. He has no concept of what may be inappropriate to say at a particular time. | |||
Frankenstein is intensely curious about everything, which can be a hindrance as he will frequently focus too much on what he might be able to do from a medical or scientific standpoint as opposed to what he ''should'' do or what might be the quickest solution to a problem. | |||
The name he has chosen for himself says quite a lot about his personality. In read Mary Shelley's novel, the Medusan saw the character of Frankenstein as a visionary, someone who achieved the pinnacle of medical science -- creating life. While to most humans, the story of ''Frankenstein'' is a moral lesson in egotism, Frankenstein the Medusan, it was something to aspire to. One of his goals is to one day create senient life from nothing, just like his fictional namesake. | |||

As Frankenstein's entry into Starfleet was originally part of a special arrangement with the Medusans, he was given the honourary rank of Lieutenant. Starfleet has since made the rank official. | |||
