History
Born in San Francisco on September 1, 2271. Freeman reports having grown up in a slightly fractured home. He had the standard education and an unremarkable childhood. Academy career was also unremarkable save for an incident on campus in which he attempted to break up a fight involving two fellow cadets and was drawn into the melee himself. He received a minor punishment for this, his initial intent to stop the fight being taken into account. He also received several verbal admonishments for "sarcastic remarks", but no substantive actions appear to have been taken against him regarding this. He took a wide variety of classes, and appears to have been torn between Engineering, Security and Medical as his final assignment, but showed almost no interest in Command, taking only the courses the curriculum required. He appears to have decided on engineering by his junior year, but took an unusually long time to pick a focus, and hence has received an unusually diverse training, with an especially extensive Medical education for an engineer.
Personal profile
Freeman is a competent engineer, but somewhat lacking in confidence. He enjoys reading and a number of hobbies, including cooking, tinkering and the study of history, and appears to prefer actual physical books when reading for entertainment, with the text printed on paper and bound in cardboard, paper or even leather. he is not terribly athletic, but keeps in shape with a reasonable amount of exercise. Freeman has a cat, but the animal has been left with his half-sister until he obtains sufficient rank to rate a private room.
Medical note:
Freeman is badly allergic to bee stings. Immediate medical attention may be necessary should he be stung by a similar insect.
