Introduction

James Thomas Reed was the Executive Officer aboard Deep Space Five his duties included commanding the USS Valiant during away missions. He is a distant relative to Malcolm Reed, who served with Captain Archer on the USS Enterprise NX-01 in the 22nd century.

Personal Info

Appearance

James keeps a relatively unkempt appearance, even though one would not consider it sloppy. He prefers to keep his hair longer than his peers along with an ever present beard that he has kept since his days at the Academy during the Borg War. People consider his rugged, even though he grew up on Mars and not in any kind of backwater wilderness. His green eyes are soft and gentle, not what most would consider to be command material.

Personality

In keeping with his appearance, James is fairly loose in personality. He's not a stickler for regulations and prefers to just get things done and get them done right. A fairly clean record, only minor blemishes are found mainly dealing with fraternization with both superiors and subordinates and a few for getting into shouting matches with superior officers.

He will stick to himself unless he feels strongly about a subject and is loyal almost to a fault. Has an eye for women, but does not try to take advantage of anyone.

History

Early Life (2377 - 2382)

Born on Mars, James spent his early years there as his parents, Norah and Edward, were administrative members of the local government at this time. He lived with his two siblings, Dylan (2379) and Stewart (2381), in a modest apartment in peace and quiet ... or as much peace and quiet as you can have with three young boys running around the place.

He attended preschool while still on Mars, but it was not long until the Borg War starts.

The Borg War (2382 - 2398)

The long and terrible Borg War was nothing more than a curiosity to a young boy who spent most of his time on Mars while his parents continued to serve on Mars. As news began to grow worse and worse, tensions were rising on Mars and the Reed family picked up and headed to Spacedock One in 2385 where his father was tasked with heading the civilian population on the station.

There, as a young boy, James got to see the true terror of the war as it unfolded. He was only eight years old when they moved, but he spent most of his time around the station's officers, hearing stories of what was happening and seeing the survivors of the battles with the Borg come in.

Here he attended primary and secondary school and upon graduation at the age of 16 (2393), enlisted at Starfleet Academy as part of an early enrollment initiative to get new officers into the ranks as quickly as possible. This was against the wishes of his father, who was still the administrator on Spacedock One.

At the Academy, James quickly proved himself to be the equal to his peers, even at his young age. It did not take long for him to settle in and excel at the Academy like many others, and while he did not distinguish himself in academics, he was very well liked and at ease when commanding others. He was recommended to complete command school, and did so in record time, and was assigned as an Asst. Chief Tactical Officer
