Personality & Traits

General Overview Bourne is a military man from a service background. An only child, he was raised by his parents as his father served in the Starfleet Marines, meaning that he was never in one place for too long. Because of this, he found it hard to form attachments at an early age.

Enlisting at the age of 18 in the same service as his father, he steadily climbed the ranks, perusing a specialisation in ground based heavy weapons. At the outbreak of the Dominion War, Bourne was serving as a heavy weapons platoon Sergeant in the Third Corps, based near the Romulan Neutral Zone. His unit was redeployed to the front lines and he served in several campaigns, being wounded twice. Upon promotion to First Sergeant, he assumed the senior non-commissioned role on the new USS Redemption.

History

Personal History Bourne is a military man from a service background. An only child, he was raised by his parents as his father served in the Starfleet Marines, meaning that he was never in one place for too long. Because of this, he found it hard to form attachments at an early age.

During his time as an instructor at the Marine Base on Mars, he met his future wife who worked in administration. They have one son, who has himself enlisted in the Corps of Marines.
Service Record Enlisting at the age of 18 in the same service as his father, he steadily climbed the ranks, perusing a specialisation in ground based heavy weapons. At the outbreak of the Dominion War, Bourne was serving as a platoon Sergeant in the Third Corps, based near the Romulan Neutral Zone. His unit was redeployed to the front lines and he served in several campaigns, being wounded twice. Upon promotion to First Sergeant, he assumed the senior non-commissioned role on the new USS Redemption.

His relationship with his CO, Cassandra Blackburn, has been bumpy. He considered her inexperienced and over-promoted, but harboured some respect towards her after their encounter with the Confederacy of the Underdark. After her capture by the Sixth Fleet, he had little time for her self loathing and makes little effort to hide his disdain for her. His loyalty is to the Corps and the men and women he is charged to lead.
