Connor Almin-Reese

Captain Connor Awise Almin-Reese has been working past his families bad name and successfully applied himself to the Red Squad program. While he fought an uphill battle, his tenacity and drive to prove people wrong continued to thrust him into the Valedictorian spot and the first Terran based winner of the ABGU. After a long time serving in the President's Residence, he left in 2414 to continue his studies at the Academy.
==Background Information==
When his father died, Connor took the loss hard than he wanted to admit. After his mother had a stroke and moved to Mars, he is able to keep in touch, but generally focused on his Academy career. He and his father were not very close due to recurrent physics abuse as a child. His mother married Hitoshi Fukushima in 2403.
He often got into a lot of trouble as a teen but his 1/4 Deltan genetics helped him not only make friends, but help schmooze his way out of trouble. Getting into a lot of fights at school, Connor was expelled for bringing a homemade bomb to school but he finished his highschool degree through tutors and homeschooling before making it as a Starfleet Cadet.
In May, 2405 he changed his last name from Almin to Reese in an attempt to get away from the stigma that name has created for him and his family, as well as to pay homage to his mentor Captain Reese who he sees as a father. A year later he finalized the decision by going with both names Almin-Reese while his mentor legally and offically adopted him.
Connor never knew his paternal grandmother due to her premature death when she drowned in 2366. He was closest with his paternal grandfather Connor, to which is he named in honour of. Connor has some interaction with his maternal Betazoid grandfather, however, not often. In 2403 when his mother remarried, he gained step-relationships, however, he has little interest in solidifying any bonds.
==Personal Life==
Elliana Dhaja (2402-2404):  Connor met his ex-girlfriend when they were trying out for Red Squad. They were friends at first, which turned into lovers in order to help give Elliana a better experience with sexual intimacy. Together as friends-with-benefits for almost six months, at Christmas time, Connor realized his feelings for her. When their feelings were found out to be mutual, they began to date.  In May of 2404, Connor realized that his sexual appetites were stronger than he once assumed and asked for an open relationship.  Things spiraled out of control until they fought and he hit Elliana. Despite counselling and feelings they could move on, in September 2404, Elliana broke off the relationship for good. They are currently friends.
Samantha Elbrunne (2405-2407):  Connor met his ex-fiance while trying out for Red Squad. Since she was so career focused and he was dating someone else they had time to become really good friends.  In the summer of 2404 they were roommates and started to get closer still, until Elliana broke up with him in September of the same year.  Sam took it upon herself to get back at her and bring to light some of Elli's motives.  Realizing she loved him, she left the IEP and later confessed her love in March, 2405.  That summer they started to date and became engaged in February, 2406.  After a run in with TC during a kidnapping, Connor and Samantha's relationship spun out of control - both having affairs (emotional and physical) with other people. They called off their engagement and relationship in Nov, 2406 but remain best friends. They have one child together.
