Last name: Farrino

First name: Anthony

Middle name: Mathew

Species: Human

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Homeworld: Earth

Profession: Engineer, and a warpcore specialist, head of the engineering team aboard the U.S.S. Argo. Operations Specialist when on the bridge. Character rank: Lieutenant (subject to change as story progresses) Academic history and distinctions: After receiving my high school diploma, I went on to go to Starfleet Academy to study engineering, and tactical (I was unable to decide), and graduated, becoming an Operations Officer/Engineer. Went to a private high school that was focused on creating the Inventors, and engineers.

Service Record: Nothing before becoming a cadet at the academy. During my second year at the academy (year 2409 according to current date on forums), there was an attack on a neutral planet by the Orion, so every cadet above the third year had to go. According to my current school records, I (even though in my second year) was ordered to go on account of my engineering skills. Two years later (2411) I graduated the academy, being the second person to ever beat the Kobiashi Maroon test, but not the way Kirk did, I passed by understanding the situation, and making the right choices in accepting defeat. Then I was assigned to the U.S.S. Argo (coincidentally the place of my birth) and worked in engineering. Over time I had worked my way to a place on the bridge. While working under Captain Mathew Farrino (my father), we came upon a Romulan colony being raided by the Tal'Shiar. My father had us defeat any opposition in space while he and some crew went down to provide ground support. He died fighting with his team which left me to be the highest ranking officer on board. So, I took charge, and was able to aid the colony.

Starship name: U.S.S. Argo

Starship class:Miranda Class Light Cruiser (subject to change as story progresses)

Referral: Savesh, he gave me instruction on how to get here.        I was born on the U.S.S. Argo when my parents Mathew Farrino, and Maria Farrino were just starting out on the ship. When the ship returned to earth I was taken to my parents home in San Fransico, California.Two years later, my twin brothers Danny, and Charlie were born in San Fransisco. And two more years later my little sister Kate was born. With four toddlers running around the house, my mother had decided to resign as Head Medical Officer of the Argo, and became a housewife. 

In the days of my childhood, I was a little troublemaker, always pulling pranks and things of that nature. In high school I still was a troublemaker, but more focused on becoming an inventor. When I graduated, my brothers were already in their 2 year of Starfleet Academy. They were assigned to the U.S.S. Kirk as head tactical officers. During a firefight in the neutral zone, and explosion had killed my brother Danny. On receiving that note, I also learned that my brother Charlie had become depressed, paranoid, and didn't trust anyone accept for family. I didn't like the helpless feeling I had so I joined my sister in Starfleet. At 20 years old I was a bit older than most of the first year cadets, some said that was the only reason I was such a good engineer.

Finally, I graduated Starfleet Academy, having beaten the Kobiashi Maroon test twice. The first time I had cheated, but the second time they said I had an understanding of the purpose of the test. Making me the second person in history to beat the test. At 23 I  had been assigned to the U.S.S. Argo, and over the next two years had worked my way up to become head of the engineering team. On a mission to aid a Romulan colony from the Tal'Shiar, Captain Mathew Ferrino was shot and mortally wounded defending the colonists. My fathers dyeing wish was for me to take up command and protect the ship and her crew. Now I am the Captain of the ship, and am eager to gain whatever knowledge I can from joining the Alpha Centauri Institute.
