## Background

Bruce Springsteen Harrington was born on April 5th 2390 in New York City to parents Linda and Richard Harrington and was a brother  to James “Jimi” Harrington and Stevie Harrington, brother and sister respectively. He was born into a house that worshipped the pop culture of the 20th Century, the music, the technology and the media were something that his father and mother lived in. As a kid, he read about the first missions to the moon and wondered if he too one day will explore the cosmos, and join starfleet. During High School, he was known to be awkward around other people, such as not being able to handle a conversation or to start one. It was hard for him, he was bullied and his self esteem went into free fall. However, Academically, Bruce did very well, especially in Math and Social Studies. As time went on, he began to develop more socially and with enough effort, he could handle a conversation which made his self esteem fly up as he began to think about his younger days of traveling the stars. These aspirations were affirmed when he joined Starfleet academy at age 18. As he took his courses, he met a Vulcan, an Andorian, a Tellarite, and an Orion who all had one thing in common: love for Music. So in fashion, they formed a band and Bruce called it “The Founding Worlds.” due to each member being from a species that were a founding member of the UFP. Aside from the Band, Bruce spent a lot of time studying Flight Systems, Helm Controls, Tactical Systems, and Weaponry. He wanted to be the one who truly went to the stars, guiding the finest starships to the great beyond. At the Academy, he met who would soon be his best friend, Raffaela Celentano, an italian. They met each other at a cooking class and soon began to cook together, making foods such as Pizza, Lasagna, Ravioli, and other authentic Italian foods. They would give the Food that they made to the Band, which they all enjoyed. Raffaela came from a Long line of Chefs and Cooks, originating from the Roman Era. They bonded over their love for the history and culture for the old. Bruce would pass all of his exams and would graduate in 2415, and would be posted to the USS Odyssey as a Helmsman
