| Childhood: England, Earth
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. |

History
| Leaving Home: The Commercial Sector
His first assignment was on the SS Velikan NAR-56260, a Federation registered DY-2000 class bulk freighter. Life onboard freighters and merchant vessels, where most crew members had to serve in numerous different positions, allowed Christopher to develop a well rounded and practical experience of life in space and on board a ship. With the Federation being a largely post-scarcity economy with goods, services, and information being either free or practically free as a result of a combination of abundant resources and advanced large-scale replication technology, many of the best business opportunities existed just past the fringes of Federation space in non-aligned sectors, this gave Christopher the opportunity to experience some of the more exotic and unsavoury parts of the galaxy, teaching him many important life lessons and a handful of key survival skills. |

| Joining Starfleet: San Francisco, California
After almost half a decade, he decided once more to consider Starfleet, both seeing it as a challenge and looking for a career that he could be truly proud of. Christopher believed his real-world experience would serve him well at Starfleet Academy and mitigate his lack of interest in traditional academia. As hoped, his greater age and practical experience served him well at the Academy both socially, where he was viewed as a charismatic leader amongst his fellow students, and academically, where he graduated near the top of his class having majored in Security and minored in Com/Ops, a combination he felt rounded out and built upon his previously established experience and allowed him to keep his future options as open as possible. |
