| Personal History | Dante was born on Earth. Specifically, Nova Scotia in the eastern region of Canada - North America. The rest of his family also serves in Star Fleet. His father, Julius Fox served and retired a Captain of the Ambassador ship, USS Dragon. His mother, Evelyn was Chief Medical Officer on Starbase 19. She administered the sector's medical unit for biohazardous research and treatment. When Dante was young, he would be split twice a year between his parents when they were on assignment. During the summer months, he would be with his mother. During the winter months, with his father. Splitting the family up was difficult but was necessary and unavoidable for a working family. He loved reading old novels. His favorite were old Stephen King novels filled with horror and suspense. He also loved reading some of the memoirs of famous black Americans like James Baldwin, Booker T Washington, and Frederick Douglas. How, people who looked like him, helped create the fabric of that country. Generally speaking, he just loves reading about history. He hopes to one day be a successful writer himself. Right now, it’s just a hobby and isn't taking it too seriously. Both his parents retired in the same year, and both went back to Nova Scotia to settle down. In the same year, Fox joined Star Fleet Academy. Advice and learned lessons from his parents through experience of their own, supplemented time away from the academy. Half-way through his academic career, both his parents passed in a tragic transportation accident while vacationing in France. The transport shuttle malfunctioned crashing into the Atlantic Ocean. No survivors. Upon hearing the news, Dante temporarily withdrew from the academy to focus on healing his family, especially with his brother and sister. He also had to settle his parent's estate. He wasn't one to stick around one place for longs periods of time, so he left the dealings with the estate to his sister. Also, during his time away from the academy, he read the journals and public information available to him from his parents. He thought it would give him better insight into their careers. He learned his mother was working with other Star Fleet Medical experts on developing, in her own words, "a cure for the everything". Further reading into her journals and case notes, she explained she had seen thousands of patients over her twenty-year career. The suffering and anguish she had experienced must have been a toll to carry. Some of her patients, a young 12-year-old boy who developed type-3 smallpox. A Klingon Captain who encountered the phage, a new infection that had just reached the Alpha Quadrant from the Delta. A whole entire infected with the respiratory infliction, Lyma. The "cure for everything" project had been in development for years before his mother came onto the project but she knew she wanted to continue the project and be a part of it. After rejoining the Academy, Fox majored in Engineering Studies. He graduated sixth in his class. He knew joining Starfleet was something bigger than himself. The countless voyages. The people he would be helping along the way. The stories he read about this mother only solidified his purpose and decision to join Starfleet. For him, it was the right thing to do. |
