FULL NAME:       John James Kirk

YEARS IN STARFLEET: 14

SPOUSE: N/A

John James Kirk was born on the planet of Bajor in 2392. His parents were; Dr. Douglas & Ambassador Catherine Kirk. He was born on Valentine’s Day, a surprise for his parents and an annoyance for his half siblings. He is fifth cousins once removed from another famous Kirk, Admiral Alexandra Kirk.  

John who went by the name of Jack growing up always had this sense that there was something different about him. Unlike his half siblings; Christina & Daniel McCord Jack always did things on the edge.  

Due to his mother’s status as a Federation Ambassador and his father’s work as an archeologist they were almost never home. He had often been left in the care of a nanny or his elder siblings who resented him.  

His parents were touring B'Halla the ancient Bajoran City. During the tour of the ruins a subspace forcefeild which had been holding up a large statue collapsed and the statue fell upon his parents, they were killed instantly*.

In the spring of his eighteenth year Kirk was given a rare blessing; an orb experience. The Orb revealed his true identity and purpose in life.  John believed his orb experience and took the Starfleet Entrance Exam, he passed with flying colors. That fall Kirk entered Starfleet Academy and for the first time set foot upon Earth, the planet of his parent’s birth.  

John Kirk is considered to be a thoughtful & compassionate man. To outsiders he is a firm, fair and idealistic officer who carries himself with a military bearing. To his superiors Kirk can sometimes be reckless and stubborn yet he has a jovial, upbeat personality which tends to inspire fierce loyalty in his subordinates.

John Kirk is an accomplished pilot expert in runabout and tactical fighters. He is also a 5th degree black belt in Kickboxing.

John Kirk is a outstanding Officer and even equally outstanding human.  I have not served with many humans in my lifetime but Lieutenant Commander Kirk has shown me that humans can be compassionate and trustworthy.  Mr. Kirk’s ethics and sense of duty have left me at times questioning my own. I was glad to have had him serve at my side he has taught me the true value of Honor.

When I first met Mr. Kirk I did not believe that he was a Starfleet officer, I suspected he may have been a stowaway impersonating a Starfleet Officer. Fortunately I was proven wrong by Mr. Kirk’s devotion to duty and his quick reflexes to react to any given situation.

Mr. Kirk does not let his size be an impediment to duty. He has been an invaluable officer and his contributions have been limitless. While he may be rough around the edges and his tendency to pull phasers is still quite evident I have found that he does have a penchant for diplomacy even if it is blunt and sometimes politically incorrect. He brings forth a refreshing point of view that I and many members of my species have lacked.  Logic suggests due to his unique universal view He will make a fine officer and one day perhaps a Starfleet Captain who brings a little cowboy diplomacy back to the frontier.

I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for John Kirk. He simply is the finest officer for which I have worked with.  He commands respect without having to say a word. When he talks people listen.  While I am not a Starfleet Officer I have observed Kirk in various situations and I believe he carries the responsibility placed upon him with great reverence. While he does not hesitate to use force to solve a situation he also doesn’t hesitate to speak truth where few people expect it.

John Kirk is a man who presents himself as a man with a troubled past. He has had trouble forming lasting relationships throughout his life. At the age of five he suffered a terrible tragedy; the death of his parents.  

Following their funeral John at five years old was orphaned and alone. He was taken in by the Ashalla Monastery Monks, who raised him since no other living relative was willing to claim him.

They had taught him not only Bajoran values, but the values his parents held dear.  He has virtually no connection to his siblings and considers them having betrayed their parents for running away.  When he became of age, John sought out the one place his family has always found home, Starfleet.

Due to Mr. Kirk's traumatic experience in life, he is wary of commitment to women, yes he's had relationships with them, but fear of loss prevents it from reaching a point where it could lead to Marriage.

On Duty, Kirk is a highly professional, highly disciplined officer; he is able to work independently and within the team concept of working together within Starfleet. He is also on the path of one day becoming a Starfleet Captain... the human concept of the loneliest job.
