He has been the subject of two temporal accidents throughout his career, and while the Starfleet has cleared him for continued service and command, he remains in the body of his 60-year-old self while he retains mixed memories and experiences of his 27-, 35-, and 60-year-old selves.

John Joseph Kells was born in 2325 on Earth but moved to Mars and Utopia Planetia after his Starfleet commission in 2348. He met his future wife Bridget Strummer (born 2330), an aspiring actress, in Mollywood in 2350 and the two were married in 2354. Bridget's experienced moderate success for a few years and continued to act through the births of her three children -- Stevie in 2357, Joshua Joseph (JJ) in 2359, and Aron in 2361. Bridget died in 2369 from a rare but especially virulent viral disease that quickly adapted on Mars, and John Joseph retired in 2370 from Starfleet at the rank of lieutenant commander to pursue his written art and spend more time with his children, then 13, 11, and 9, respectively. Stevie left home at 17 to travel to Earth and seek her fortune as an actress there, and achieved some success in Paris as a holoprogram model and onstage, mostly at that city's historic Théâtre du Châtelet; she married in mid-2389. JJ gained a doctorate in wave-particle physics by 2386 and worked quite happily in research, also primarily on Earth. John Joseph still resides in the family house on Mars, which all three children visit whenever they are able.


Close Friends

  • Nic del Vedova and Aron are old friends from their Academy days, though they were initially only acquaintances and only became better friends afterward, when their work brought them closer together. Nic has been especially alienated by the latter of Aron's two temporal accidents; he doesn't recognize very much of his friend in the older man's body.
  • Saveron and Aron are evolving a relationship similar to but distinctly different from that of the legendary Spock and James Kirk: While Aron may also be eminently logical, he often requires Saveron's good counsel on those issues he is too close to himself.
  • Didrik Stennes and Aron evolved a complicated romantic relationship after Aron's first accident and his ill-advised admission to Didrik that the two had been in a relationship in that Aron's future. Though they attempted to begin a relationship then, and maintain it after Aron had transferred, the romance did not last.
  • Quinn Reynolds was Aron's first starship captain (after his time on Zosma Station) and intimidated him quite a lot as an ensign. However, due to the Architect's strange desires, she ended up later assigned to his ship as an intelligence specialist when he was made captain, and the two evolved a working friendship that overcame Aron's initial inclinations to use her for her intelligence knowledge.
  • Sinda Essen has the dubious distinction of being the first person Aron met as an officer aboard a Federation starship: Immediately after arriving on the Drake, he invaded her personal space by performing an unauthorized scan upon her; he was fascinated by her hybrid biology. Despite this, the two developed a strong friendship after Aron invited Essen to his grandfather's trial; in this moment of vulnerability, he offered himself up as in need for a good friend.
  • Andrus Jaxx and Aron never worked together aboard the same ship, but the former officer acted as Aron's good friend, confidante, and mentor as a captain
  • Kali Nicholotti was Aron's first and only commanding officer when he served as executive officer, and he found (surprisingly) that his more cowboyish tendencies were on display during his tenure ... yet it seems that these same qualities endeared him to her, and the two developed a friendship following Aron's promotion to commanding officer.
  • Arden Cain was Aron's first executive officer and, like Aron, came from a background as a science officer. The two developed together well a bond of respect, and Aron still counts on Arden's good advice though they're no longer assigned to the same vessel.


History

Aron Kells is the third child of an ex-officer and a now-deceased actress, both of whom gained marginal success in their respective careers. Bridget Kells helped the young holopic industry on Mars move into its own as a leading lady, and John Joseph Buckingham successfully tested three new Starfleet fighters, one of which he had helped design. Aron and his brother and sister never wanted for much as children, and so he grew up to be rather privileged. He possesses the intelligence to back up a certain arrogance, though the unequal ground between "moderately successful" and "smashingly popular" seems, to him, to be quite irrelevant. In short, he is most unproven, though eager to get on with the proof.

Aron proceeded through the Academy at the normal age and graduated after a year aboard the explorer USS Tesla on a survey of the reaches of the Beta Quadrant, where he worked to catalogue the genetic and epigenetic makeups of strange new creatures. Following the cruise, he was assigned to the USS Drake and rapidly found his element receding. Despite his initial reluctance aboard a non-explorer, Aron soon began to adapt to life aboard the Drake; but not even a year after his assignment, he experienced the first of two temporal accidents that would result in a change in his appearance and the doubling and, later, tripling of the amount of Arons in Kells's head.

Trivia

Note that this is all out-of-character, of course.

  • Aron was named for the two youngest brothers in John Steinbeck's East of Eden, Aron and Caleb.
  • The temporal incursions that led to Aron's jump's in rank (and his quick advancement) are due to OOC circumstances and should not be read as the SOP of the SB118 group.
