Biographical Information: Walker is about 6' 2", with blue eyes,
Black, wavy hair, and a handsome face. He has a pretty good build and is quite
square around the shoulders. Admittedly, he is a bit serious but has a tendency
to make light of a situation as long as it only concerns him. Walker has been
known to keep a "cool head under fire", but let's his opponents know he means
business.
EARLY LIFE: Walker was raised on earth by his Grand Parents and only
occasionally got to see his Biological Parents about eight or nine times a year.
Walker grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and decided on an adventurous Star Fleet
career at a young age. He decided to enroll in Starfleet Academy
immediately after he
graduated from High
school. Majoring in Physical Science and Technology, he graduated sixth in his
class, four years later. It is rumored that he has a College sweet heart, but
has dismissed any questions about it with a wave of his hand.
Star Fleet Academy: Four years attendance, graduating with honors.
CAREER: After graduating from Star Fleet, walker was assigned to the
Excelsior class USS Hood, the second starship to bear that name, for a period of
one and a half months as a Transporter operative before her decommissioning. He
was then transferred to the USS Carter for the remainder of his sixth month
internship. Walker learned the value of operating a tight ship and keep her fit
for duty. His official position was that of Chief Tactical Officer, but he was
given quite a load of responsibility. As the USS Carter was ordered to pass
through the newly constructed gate to the little known Delta Quadrant she docked
by Star base 900 for a brief stop over for taking passengers back into the
Alpha Quadrant. There he saw a ship being built, enquiring about it, he
learned that it was to be a new addition to Task Force 38, and was to be
christened the USS Columbia, a Venture modeled Galaxy Class. From that day on
his hearts desire was to command that ship.
Interests: One thing that true inspires walker is the "Military Life".
More than anything he enjoys the pomp and and ceremony of the military but only
in the way it pertains to war and fighting. This influence the his exercises in
the Holodecks to that of either sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat to that
of battling it out between himself and hostile forces with only a small array of
phaser weapons. He is usually willing to try many things that will benefit
him in quickness of thought and mind. That is why he has also taken up tennis
and skying as hobbies. Last of all he plays a pretty mean Trumpet and
occasionally will pick up a set of bag pipe music.
