Personal History:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theodore (or "Gunner" as he likes to be called) was born in San Francisco,
smack dab in the heart of Star Fleet Command. He was the only son of Admiral
James Bellasario and thus grew up in a rigid military atmosphere, his whole
childhood being spent prepping him for his eventual entrance into Star Fleet.
Theodore went along with this for awhile, but during those rebellious teen-
years, he and his father quarrelled over just what his priorities ought to be,
so much so, that Theodore left home just days before he was due to enter Star
Fleet. This is not to say that he didn't have the talent to undertake the task.
He was an exceptional marksman and quite adept at technical skills. He just had
a wild streak, a yearning to sew some wild oats, as it were, and was fed up
with being forced to do as he was told.
He travelled around for three years as a work-for-transport hitchhiker, saw
some of the galaxy, got into a few scrapes, gambling and drinking and on
occasion swindling or stealing, but generally doing nothing of particular note
or consequence. During this time, he had little contact with his family, and
always having hated the name "Theodore", he picked up the nickname "Gunner",
given to him for his proven abilities at manning a variety of weapons'
stations.
This life of debauchery finally ended, however, the day he got the news that
his dad had been killed in a terrorist attack on Star Fleet Command. His entire
life, such as it was, fell apart completely, and it was that day that he truly
regretted never having tried to reconcile with his father.
Gunner returned to Earth to enter the Academy, and with his father's friends
and his previous (though neglected) admittance papers, he was able to cut
through the bureaucracy, file late, re-take the examinations late, and still
get in. Even so, his mother wanted nothing to do with him, and let him know
just how much his father was hurt by what he did.
For the ten years since, he has continued to hope that some day he'll be able
to patch things up with his mother, but he wonders if she will ever truly
forgive him. They still see each other on whatever occasions Gunner manages to
make it back to Earth, but there is always a distance between them. He is
fairly close to his younger sister, Maryssa, who was really too young to
remember much from the turbulent years between Gunner and his father, and she
looks to him as a father figure of sorts, even though it is rare that he gets a
chance of visit.
Service History:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gunner entered the academy at the ripe old age of 21 years with a new focus and
a vow to make the spirit of his father proud. He excelled in his training and
graduated near the top of his class. Assigned to the USS Berlin on his cadet
cruise, he distinguished himself by "playing the part" of Security Chief under
the tutelage of an old-timer who'd seen all the tricks in the book and then a
few. In mock exercises, he managed to foil his opponents again and again.
Gunner passed with high honors and received a direct promotion to 2nd
Lieutenant. His first assignment was to the destroyer, USS Genghis Khan. After
two and a half years he was transferred to a Bonhomme Richard (Beta-
Constitution) class cruiser, the USS Defiance. His performance as Assistant
Security Chief of three and a half years earned him a promotion to full
Lieutenant and the position of Security Chief on the newly commissioned
Excalibur. Since Gunner had already been trained for department head status
during his cadet cruise, and since he had served for three and a half years as
Asst. Security Chief aboard a capital starship, he was able to side-step
department head school and rush straight into his newest assignment.
