-Born in England on the planet Earth on the 21st of July 2373. He was raised by his mother (an artist) after his father (a civilian engineer) died in 2377 while off planet, supporting the reconstruction of Cardassia following the Dominion war. Christopher was an unremarkable child who struggled at school at a young age, something he later attributed to the way in which he was taught, preferring practical learning where he could experience and, through that experience, understand the underlying mechanics of how things worked over learning and regurgitating facts on command. From a young age, he had an aptitude for sports, routinely competing against children in older age brackets in order to get proper competition. His sporting prowess and academic struggles led to him becoming highly competitive and making himself a bad loser and sometimes a bad winner as well.
+His disillusionment with formal education resulted in him leaving school as soon as he could. Eager to find somewhere to fit in, Christopher considered Starfleet as a way to see the galaxy and learn by experience, he was however put off by the thought of more 'school' if he were to join Starfleet Academy to become an officer and still didn't know what he wanted to do with his life and thus couldn't commit to a specialisation, which also ruled out joining Starfleet as a non-commissioned officer. Instead, he turned to the commercial sector, signing up to serve on board a freighter. This gave him the opportunity to see the galaxy, but as part of a far less rigid command structure.
