Personal History

Born May 17, to proud parents Vincent and Arianna Russell, Michael spent most of his life like many other Star Fleet officers children... alone. His mother was a chief medical officer on Earth, but was stationed mostly at the San Francisco Stardock, while his father was assigned as chief Science officer aboard the USS Rome for the better part of his career. Never one to complain, and easily able to befriend fellow schoolmates, Michael quickly became known as the "class-clown" in Santa Clara High School and graduated as class president, delivering an amazing speech about the shabby-ness that was called the school cafeteria. During this time his father, Dr. Vincent Russell had become renown in the science world, and was able to convince Arianna to relax and open a practice on the planet, near San Francisco.

At the age 9, Michael's father also returned home from a 5-year tour to study a new weapon in development modified from found Borg technology. During this period Michael's other siblings were born. Duncan was the first and was 9 years younger than his brother, and was quickly followed by the twins, Sharon and Ian. Michael grew close to his siblings as any brother would, but became almost a uncle-figure in their lives because of the large age difference.

It was during this time Michael's father had made great strides on his weapon research and was once again reassigned to his old ship, the USS Rome to "test" his technology. Against his wife's wishes and his better judgement, he thought he should be the one to test his weapon out and would not trust the operation in the hands of another. Once aboard the Rome they set course for an unknown destination.

The USS Rome wasn't heard from for many years, and by now Michael was a 17 year old young man. He pleaded with his mother to let him go to the Science Academy in London, but she disaproved of his intentions feeling he was only doing it because of his fathers memory, and not because that was his true wish. She never thought Michael had much of an interest in Science, and in fact she was correct, but Michael was rebellious and was tired of helping his mother raise the now older children.

Finally, word got out that the Rome had returned. A small-ish man came to the door while Michael was in his bedroom and told her the news. Apparently the weapon, which they still could not disclose any information on, had malfuntioned and left the Rome adrift in an unknown field, where minutes turned to years. It was by the sacrifice of Dr. Vincent Russell that the ship was able to finally regain power and find it's way home. This devastated Arianna, who didn't know how she would tell the children, but to Michael this became his final motivation to leave. Recording a quick video to his mother, he escaped through the backdoor and made his way toward his future. Star Fleet Academy.

Once enlisted, Michael signed up for the Science department, but realized quickly his mother was correct. He became enthralled and eventually obsessed by the Tactical side of a starship, and immediately changed his course of study to Tactical and Security Training, where he excelled and bypassed all of his goals, graduating 3rd in his class. Michael also took a minor in pschology, always believing himself to be a good judge of character and deduced the classes would help get inside peoples heads so he can better understand his enemies.
