| Personal History | Son of a farmer, Cormac MacArthur was always a dreamer, wanting to do something more than just settle for country life. His family, however, were always very strict and didn't want him to be in danger or leave the community in which they lived. However, one day, when he was ten, he was on his own in the fields, whilst his parents were busy in town (Another farmer was nearby watching him if needed) when a fighter landed nearby with engine problems. He was waiting for pickup when Cormac saw him. He was impressed, and the pilot let him sit in the cockpit, showing him the fighter. He was on his way to a show when there was a minor engine malfunction, but he didn't have the part needed. Cormac recognized a similar issue with equipment his family used and pointed out the fault. The pilot told him that there was a show next week, and gave him tickets. Later that week, he snuck away as he knew his parents wouldn't let him go, and he saw the pilot again. The pilot showed his fellow pilots the farm boy who had seen what other engineers hadn't, and even took him up in the air. His mind made up, Cormac knew he was going to be a fighter pilot. He studied every aerial battle in the history of mankind, and when he was 18, he applied to join the flight school through Starfleet. The department head at the school was the same pilot Cormac had helped before. Upon noticing Cormac’s application he accepted him into his class and kept an eye on his progress, even tutoring him, seeing a spark of brilliance in him, the same spark he himself had found in himself once upon a time. Over the course of four years in the Academy, he directed all his studies toward what might be needed for becoming not just a pilot but a mechanic as well. Having taken a shop class, he spent his time building from the ground up, with a little help from some of his friends in other departments, his very own type 6 shuttle. This took him the entire four years to achieve and not to mention the permission of several departments. Having achieved the first part of his dream, he graduated in the top third of his class. With the new rank of Ensign, he was gifted the type 6 shuttle rather than an advanced promotion so long as he reports to his new assignment for further training and assignment. Having been granted permission, he requested the name ‘Yani’ after his personal hero’s oldest daughter with whom he has had a crush for several years. He would spend the next several years on board the USS Euphrates serving as Fighter pilot for two then flight leader for two more before getting moved to the USS Blackhawk as Assistant Flight Control Officer at the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. It wasn’t long before his addiction to a plant called Sativa Gernaht was discovered. With the increased weight gain and the lethargic state. They attempted to cure him of his addiction but in the process he became more belligerent and defiant. He was reprimanded for failure to complete his duties and was demoted to the rank of Ensign and reassigned to the Chimera to not only serve in a new position but in hopes that he was far enough away from the planet that the plant was native too to wean him off. |
