Personality & Traits
| Personal History | Joined Starfleet at age 18, highly interested in shuttle and starship design and ultimately specializing in helm navigation and fighter operations. John is a cheerful, outgoing guy. Upon graduating from the academy he was assigned to the USS Crazy Horse as a helm officer. John quickly tired of this and asked for a transfer to the fighter pilot section where he was assigned to Lancer Squadron.    While serving on the Crazy Horse as a fighter pilot, he became engaged to his, then, girlfriend, Lieutenant Junior Grade Samantha Narosis. Lieutenant Narosis was also his RIO. During the war games, John helped to lead the Lancer attack on the USS Shaw during the war games. His leadership capabilities were recognized by Commodore Kroll and he was soon promoted to Ensign. During an event where an alien vessel was attacking the gamma fleet, John rescued squadron mates, Lieutenant Shantel and Commander Jameson, after the Shaw's warp core impacted with the alien ship. After returning to Star Base Raven, John was awarded the Omega Cross, Citation for Gallantry and the Bronze Star for Valor for his actions which may have saved the lives of his squadron mates. While at Star Base Raven, Commander Jameson recruited John for the SRT team. Where he'd be working closely with the Security department. After that John helped the rest of the SRT team foil a plot by Commander Ariela. John then participated in the attacks on the Tuhari vessels. When the Crazy Horse was called to the Krivaldi sector, John flew an important mission with the rest of the Wing to scope out the USS Ghandi which was under Krivaldi control. John along with Ensign Frankson and his RIO were held captive by the Krivaldi until they were rescued by Commanders Ariela amd Jameson and Lieutenant Shantel. During his imprisonment John was stabbed and knocked unconscious by Lieutenant Commander Dumas, the former chief of security on the Ghandi. After being rescued, Captain Bren debriefed John and promoted him to Lieutenant. Awhile later, while preparing for a mission, John received a transmission from SB Midway. It was his long lost sister, who was then unknown to him. John eventually accepted her as his sister and eventually became really close to her. During their mission to grab some buoy's and destroy the rest of the sensor network. After the situation with the Krivaldi was resolved it was discovered that John had a tumor in his stomach, which was removed. He fully recovered and resumed duty. Upon his return to duty Commander Jameson placed him in command of Arrowhead Squadron and the wing while the Warhawks stayed on Starbase Starbucks and Jameson himself led a group of pilots on a mission. It was supposed to be a simple mission, but turned out complex. After arriving at the Snortellian home world, the Crazy Horse crashed, killing a number of crew including John's fiancé, Lieutenant Junior Grade Samantha Narosis. John was devastated and blamed both Captain Bren and Commander Ariela for what had happened to his beloved partner. None the less John helped to rescue survivors. When Captain Bren showed up on the USS Carl Vinson, it was discovered that the Krivaldi had a secret base at the planet's north pole. With Commander Ariela's help, John created a secure cargo bay, where some of the Krivaldi were transported to. After the Krivaldi were secured, John took possession of a brand new squadron of Phantom class fighters for the use of Arrowhead Squadron. He then subsequently helped destroy some armored vehicles which were giving crew on the ground trouble. After the Krivaldi were dealt with the crew of the Crazy Horse returned to Starbase where they had a celebration party and received a new ship. Before they could leave on a shake down cruise, John received transfer orders to Xonnel Colony to command the 550th Tactical Combat Wing. After he arrived on Xonnel, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. Almost immediately, he went on a mission on the USS Skandranon to retrieve a special shield for the Orions. During the mission the Skandranon met up with some Jem'hadar frigates. John was ordered to take his group of fighters and follow the one frigate and find out what was going on. He followed the frigate to a planet where they landed. John led his pilots down and tracked the crew while under cover. One of his men, Ensign Charles Johnson was captured by the Jem'hadar and subsequently imprisoned. In an attempt to free him John led a small rescue party, which ended up getting captured itself. After he escaped John managed to free his companions and take control of the ship. During his escape John was beat up pretty bad and suffered multiple injuries. His pilots secured the Jem'Hadar ship and managed to fly it to a rendezvous with the Skandranon. After everybody was aboard the Skandranon they destroyed the Jem'Hadar ship and returned to Xonnel Colony. After he received treatment for his injuries, he was told he'd never fly again. John was devastated. After a week or two of relaxing and trying to get over it, he received orders to come to Starbase 204, otherwise known as Zetari Station. There he talked to the newly minted flag officer, Commodore Trael Bren, who offered him a position as Second Officer, which John accepted. He served as second officer for awhile before becoming Executive Officer. After their first encounter with the Zybor, John thought they were home free. After that John mysteriously disappeared from Zetari, replaced by a clone a Zybor clone. There is a period here that is full of darkness and the unknown for the real John Brown. He awoke on Earth some time later. It was unknown to him at the time how long or why he’d been asleep. Under the guidance and protection from Starfleet Intelligence was kept a secret. He was sent on missions in the Gamma Quadrant spying on the Zybor outpost there. He lie in wait, watching and analyzing every move the Zybor made. He learned many things from observing the Zybor, including that it was actually during his capture by the Jem’Hadar that he was actually cloned and replaced, unknown to him at the time. After months of waiting he was finally able to confront his clone and destroy him. After his return to full active duty, he was transferred to Trillista Colony to become Squadron Commander for Titan Squadron, an active Marine fighter squadron. After his short stint there, he went on to command the USS Dirae. After his tour there he returned, at Starfleet’s request, to Earth where he served as aide de camp for Rear Admiral Talladega Ashton, the Chief of Starfleet Aerospace Corps. While assigned there Starfleet Investigative Service came and arrested him and accused him of treason. He was acquitted of the charges when it was discovered that the whole court martial and the charges were a diversion to draw attention away from something far more important that Brown was involved in. Something that was never even revealed, even to Brown himself. After the court martial he left for Eden Fleet Yards to assume command of a Task Force there. After his somewhat short tour there he took command of the USS Defiance to help protect the sector. After his departure he returned to Earth and promoted to Commodore. There, he sat in an office taking care of administrative duties for more senior flag officers and learning the finer points of diplomacy before putting in a request to be put on inactive reserve status. That way he could keep his commission but serve in other capacities to both Starfleet and The Federation. After a couple months Starfleet reactivated his commission, much to his chargin and assigned him as Deputy Chief of Aerospace Operations for Starfleet. After a mostly uneventful tour. Near the end of his tour he longed to be in the field again and begin to look for opportunities. Despite warnings from his peers and suggestions that it was highly irregular, he requested orders to take command of the USS Corpus Christi. Patrolling into the Gamma Quadrant proved to be challenging and the needed break John sought. With orders, he returned to Earth where he was promoted to Rear Admiral and selected to take command of Starfleet's Aerospace Corps. His tour was short lived and boring. Once again he sought out a field command and was given command of the Battle Group Phoenix tasked with deep space exploration and protecting Starfleet's interests in the Gamma Quadrant. |
