| Personal History | Avery (they/them/their) was born, and grew up, on the southern coast of England, Earth. Their father, James, was from ‘old money’ and thrived on his work in politics. Their mother, Amelia, was a Starfleet officer, so was often absent in Avery’s young life. Avery seemed to be a content child and adored being by the sea, but it became apparent that they were also special. By the time Avery was 7, they were found to be a child with autism, although they did not have as many affected behaviours as many others did. Avery was found to be very bright, with near perfect recall, and a passion and talent for music and languages, but struggled with sensory aversion, needing order and routine and intense interests. Having a younger brother actually helped Avery with the things they struggled with though, and they grew into a good all rounder at school, excelling in music, literature and languages. As Avery became a teenager, they found relationships and friendships overwhelming at times, but enjoyed sharing life and their interests with the people they loved. It was during this time that Avery’s mother transferred to work as an instructor at the Academy to be able to live at home with the family, and it bonded the family ties further. Avery went to college to pursue music, and after a year their skilled performances allowed them to attend a conservatory a year earlier than usual to take a degree in music. The plan was to pursue music professionally, but as Avery graduated, the Dominion War was raging on the other side of the galaxy. Avery had never given Starfleet any serious consideration, but with their father embroiled in the political ramifications of the war, and their mother called back to active service on a ship out on the frontlines, they felt morally obligated to join Starfleet to help the fight against tyranny. With officer training being so competitive, even in wartime, Avery enlisted, wanting to be out as soon as possible. With meticulous attention to detail, photographic memory and high organisational skills, Avery was selected to become a Yeoman, but by the time they completed their training, the war had ended. Avery decided to continue in the fleet to be part of the post-war rebuilding and recovery efforts and their first assignment was to the USS Concord as Yeoman to the Captain. |
