Family and Background

Born in Cork, Ireland to Cait and Sean Hughes. He has two sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, both younger than him. His mother is a Doctor in Cork, and his father is a Computer Systems Engineer for a company that has contracts with Starfleet. Michael had a fairly happy childhood, even if it was fairly boring in his opinion. Michael is very close to his family, and joining Star Fleet was hard for him, knowing he would be gone for long stretches of time. He is very protective of his two sisters.

Education

Attended University College-Dublin and received degrees in Computer Science, and Sub-Space Engineering prior to entering Star Fleet Academy

Pre-Starfleet History

Michael lived on Earth his whole life prior to joining Star Fleet, only ever leaving for vacations. He held a couple of small jobs as a teenager, and then went to college, persuing degrees in the fields of computers and engineering

Starfleet History

Starfleet Academy. Assigned to Starbase Geneva after graduating from the academy as a Senior Operations Officer. 2407.01.10 to present - assigned as COPS on the USS Paladin

Medical History

Medically fit in all aspects. Has a thin scar on the left side of his face at the jaw line, that he won't let doctors remove. The scar was caused in a fight he got into while at University, in a bar while drunk. He keeps it as a reminder of what happens when he looses control. He hasn't had a drop to drink since that night.

Skills

Michael excels at computers, and is an adept programmer, as well as being a fairly decent engineer. In the Academy he took what classes he could in engineering to help improve his skills as an Ops officer. He is fairly good at tactical and defensive programing, as well as adapting existing programs to better suit his needs or the needs of the ship.

Hobbies

Swims frequently when off duty to maintain his build. He also enjoys computer, designing new and at least semi-useful programs for various functions.

General Notes

Michael is a skilled officer. Due to past experiences he is very much a calm person, choosing to explore all options prior to resorting to physical aggression. He is quite protective of those people he cares about and the cases where he feels his family or friends are in danger are the ones where he is more likely to act aggressively.

Awards

Awarded Combat Action Ribbon: For participation in the Battle of Star Base 234

Awarded Captains Commendation: For his quick thinking during the boarding of the Paladin by enemy forces during the battle to capture Starbase 234.
