| History=John was born and raised in one of the smaller suburbs of [[London]], [[England]]. Spoilt by his parents for much of his life due to the belief that his mother could have no more children, John grew up to be an academically gifted but physically weak boy. His main hobbies were reading academic texts, including many of the required texts for [[Star Fleet Academy]]; these were given to him by his father, who washed out of the Academy after assaulting an Instructor during a training session.
As he grew older, he was incessantly bullied for his academic leanings and quiet disposition in class and the playground; one particular incident resulted in the scar that he still has on his jaw. Eventually, after pressure from his father, John joined a local self-defense class and learnt enough to defend himself from his tormentors, leaving one with a broken arm. Quickly maturing after this incident, John continued to learn martial arts and exercise, toughening up and helping to protect younger children from the bullies in the school. However, his interests still lay in reading and academic studies, and excelled in [[Interstellar History]], becoming fascinated by the history of the [[Borg]] in particular.
At the end of his school years, John was determined to apply to Cambridge University and take up an Interstellar History course, hoping to eventually become a Professor. However, he came under pressure from his father to join Star Fleet Academy and become an Officer. Initially wary of the idea, John was eventually persuaded to join up and become an academic later on in life; John also saw that a stint in [[Star Fleet]] could aid him in developing social skills and friendships. Thus, at the age of 18, John became a Cadet and began training. His interest in history, and in particular warfare, led him to choose the route of Security in training.
[[File:TicoCrew2090211.jpg|thumb|left|Lieutenant Commander Dempsey, bottom left, onboard the USS Ticonderoga]]
Graduating from the Academy tenth in his class, John was promoted to [[Midshipman]] and assigned to the [[USS Philadelphia, FF-6053]], a [[Berlin Class Frigates|Berlin-Classed Frigate]]. He served on the Philadelphia under Captain [[Shard Vinzz]] for nearly a year and was promoted from Midshipman to [[Ensign]], and then [[Lieutenant Junior Grade]] for good service, although he was reprimanded by Captain Shard for a breach of weapons regulations on an Away Team mission. As a relatively inexperienced Midshipman, John had opened fire on, and killed, an indigenous animal that appeared to be endangering the safety of the [[Away Team]]; however, the creatures were later found to be docile, and using his weapon had breached Away Team protocols.
When the Philadelphia was decommissioned, John was transferred to the newly-commissioned [[USS Ticonderoga, CA-1471]], a [[Fearless Class Heavy Cruiser]] commanded by Commodore [[Joseph Daher]] and promoted to [[Chief of Security]]. It was here that he befriended a young [[Gorn]], [[Zzen Drell]], who had recently joined Star Fleet. The Ticonderoga’s first mission was to meet a [[Romulan]] vessel attempting to defect to the Federation; to facilitate this defection, John accompanied an Away Team led by the First Officer, Commander Nathan May, onboard a Romulan Warbird. Tasked with securing the high-ranking defector’s daughter, the mission was revealed to be a trap and after a fierce firefight, the Away Team members were captured.
It was here that John gained his hatred of Romulans; during an interrogation, a Romulan officer tortured and then killed Commander May. The Commander was vaporized in front of John, a memory that still haunts his nightmares, and to his immense frustration and anger he was unable to do anything about it. The Away Team survivors managed to escape, with John killing several Romulans, but he was unable to avenge Commander May and kill the Romulan who had murdered the First Officer. In the firefight subsequent to the Away Team’s fate, John’s left arm was crushed under several cargo containers; although he was beamed away with the rest of the Away Team, he barely survived surgery and the arm was amputated.
A bio-mechanical replacement was fitted without a loss of feeling or use, but the combination of losing his arm and his First Officer made a dark impression on John, and he still nurses a bitter grudge against all things Romulan. When the Ticonderoga became involved in the defence of Starbase 157, John led an abortive attempt to board a derelict Romulan vessel; in his desire to board the vessel he clashed with Lieutenant Drell, a moment which revealed to him exactly how much the death of Commander May had affected him.
This sobered him up somewhat and he managed to rein in his feelings, particularly after several sessions with a Star Fleet counselor, and was subsequently promoted to Lieutenant-Commander. He served onboard the Ticonderoga during its ultimately successful attempt to entice the Mirak Confederation to join the conflict against the Romulans. After several more missions, including a First Contact meeting with the advanced [[Bishtar]], John received orders to transfer to the [[USS Titan, CL-2007]], where he was extremely surprised to find himself promoted to First Officer under [[Captain]] [[Alexis Tregelen]].
