==Personal History==
{{Heading|Personal History|Red}}
 
Scott Merlin was born to Tyler and Emily Merlin on August 10, 2368 in New London, Connecticut, on Earth.  His upbringing was surrounded by military history, given his proximity to the restored, museum converted, former United States Navy submarine base in nearby Groton, and his father serving in the Federation's Starfleet Marine Corp.  Much of the early stories were fairly calm, filled with what the young Scott felt was excitement and adventure.  Scott's mother provided him an environment of stability, and a loving home in which he could recover from days spent hiking along the trails and foothills near his home, joining his older sister, Olivia, once she grew to tolerate him.

From his childhood, Scott has maintained an interest in woodland hiking.  It was especially helpful during his recovery, as it gave him something positive to focus on as he relearned how to walk long distances.

His time in the SFMC instilled a strong habit of maintaining his equipment.  He has the maintenance card for his armor, which he follows closely, along with his various weapons.  It does not take up all of his time, but he ensures its completion.

As a kid, Scott was occasionally interested in music.  That interest received a massive boost while in the SFMC.  His platoon was strongly into a certain genre of music, classic rock.  Scott was designated as the keeper of the platoon’s guitar, due to the time of his arrival coinciding with the departure of the previous holder.  His “duties” in that role included learning a number of songs, to be played upon request.  He started out rough, as all had expected, but he was considered ‘not bad’ when he left.  High praise, from that crowd.  While he could not keep the platoon’s guitar, they did provide him with a replacement out of respect.
Scott's childhood interest in music received a massive boost after his assignment within the SFMC.  His platoon had a traditional love of classic Earth rock music, and the timing of Scott's arrival made him the new keeper of the platoon's guitar.  The 'duties' of the position included maintaining the guitar in working condition, as well as learning a number of songs to be played upon request.  He took to the role, wanting to excel in it as much as anything else, and had earned enough respect from his platoon-mates that they gave him a guitar of his own as a gift when he transferred out of the SFMC.


During his recovery, Nurse Sekara introduced Scott to a unique form of physical and occupational therapy.  He started to train in the use of bow and arrow, sword and shield, and other medieval weaponry.  In the time since, he continued to practice with the forms he enjoyed most, and even acquired a few pieces while on Earth during his refresher training.  It allowed him more activity than he might see in a typical day, while still being below the threshold of causing him difficulty.
