Personal History and Origin:

When Alexander was born, his father had already served Starfleet for
almost a decade. His mother, having never had much of a taste for
interstellar travel, had long since elected to stay behind, awaiting
her husband's return after each mission his various starship
assignments while tending the family's ancestral hot springs inn with
the help of Alexander's grandparents. By the time Alex was three, his
mother gave birth to his sister, Ruri, and the pair of them grew up
helping their mother tend the springs and otherwise grew up in the
relative calm of the countryside.

When Alex was about ten his father finally returned to Earth for good,
first taking a position at the San Francisco Dockyards and eventually
retiring from Starfleet service all together. His father's retirement
didn't come before Alex managed to become enthralled with his father's
career path. Having been an engineer his entire career, Ichiro had a
knack for telling stories about the many adventures and near
misadventures he'd had while serving on starships. Alex never realized
that his father had such an interesting job, and it wasn't until he
finally enrolled in Starfleet Academy and began to take courses that
he realized how many of his father's stories carried with them heavy
embellishments simply for entertainment purposes.

Unlike her brother, Ruri didn't share the Sato male compulsion for all
things mechanical. Instead, she chose to enter Tokyo University to
obtain a business degree so she could return home and manage the hot
spring on her own, following their mother's footsteps of
responsibility and stability.

Starfleet Academy Career Summary:

Alexander Sato entered Starfleet Academy with the intention of
becoming an Engineering student much like his father. His interest in
Engineering was put to the wayside when Alex discovered some of the
details his father had left out. While it didn't totally dissuade him
from the engineering realm, Alex decided he would rather take on the
role of a strategist. His childhood reading obsession gave him the
head start he needed, since many of his favourite books had been on
the subject of Ancient Asian Martial Culture. With an old, worn, dog
eared copy of the Six Military Classics of Ancient China sitting on
his desk, Alex felt that he might perhaps make use of what he'd
learned sitting under his favourite tree to build a career of his own.

His second year at the Academy gave him the false impression that he
would rise to the forefront of his class. His foreknowledge of basic
tactics gave him much confidence though it also doomed him to being
somewhat arrogant about his own mastery of things. He did however
finish his first year at the top of his class, and many instructors
predicted that he would indeed go on to do the same for the next two
to come.

Third year and the Signal Intelligence course proved to be a stumbling
point. While his grasp of the engineering principles were solid, some
of the less than concrete and often times fluid codes and countersigns
and decryption methods gave him much pause and held him back at times.
While he finished the course satisfactorily, he was far from the top
student, and lost his arrogance about his own skills.

By fourth year, he approached the Advanced Course on Tactical Analysis
with great caution. He never tried to get ahead of himself even when
the concepts were fully formed and locked in his mind. He became
methodical and calculating to the point of obsession, taking great
care not to repeat his mistakes from his second year. He was reward
with outstanding grades for it, but it would not give him enough of a
boost to realize his ambitious goal of being the head of the class.

While his grades never faltered and his dedication was never
questioned, Alex was rarely seen throughout campus, and indeed for the
majority of his four years his roommate was the only companion he had.
Despite dozens of attempts on his roommate's part to thrust the
reclusive man into the social arena, Alex never found his niche and
would rather spend his off time back in the reclusive and isolated
home he grew up in rather than the clubs and bars of the big city.

Alex graduated in the upper portion of his class, neither proving
extraordinary nor mediocre, but he did prove himself to be a
dependable officer when faced with ever-changing circumstances which
was important in the decision to send him to the USS Cutchall for his
first assignment. Life aboard the Cutchall was relatively calm, the
ship didn't enjoy the rigorous and fast paced missions that other
vessels of its class did, and it rarely saw heavy combat action. The
few times it did, Alexander showed that he could man any station
needed and often times had to take on more than one task during the
heat of battle when damage to the ship rendered stations inert and his
fellows became injured because of it.

His first promotion came with transfer orders to the USS Valdosta,
where he was placed in charge of the Sensors Division within the
department. His enthusiasm to do the best he job could became evident
immediately, and his division was cited twice for their superior work
during missions.

The third year of his assignment aboard the Valdosta saw him advancing
to the role of the CIC Executive Officer, giving him a chance to show
the CIC Officer and the department what he was made of. Even though
the pressure of the job overwhelmed the young officer at times, he did
find himself prospering once he managed to get used to the workload.

His year spent as CIC Exec earned him his second promotion, and a few
months thereafter he found himself being sent to a recent addition to
the inventory of Blue Fleet. While Alex has some misgivings about
being placed in a position of responsibility that would normally be
given to a much more seasoned officer, his natural enthusiasm to
succeed and be a valued member of his new crew will not allow such
trepidations to impede on his performance.
