| Personal History | Born in Los Angeles on the planet Earth to Brenda and David Fire and originally named James Matthew Fire as one of two middle children. His twin sister Kelsey was born twenty seven seconds after himself. James had a quiet life with his family in Los Angeles until he turned fifteen years old and was introduced to his family the Cohen’s. This introduction was without knowledge by his mother and father, and he was not alone his sister and younger brother Marcus was also introduced to their grandfather. The reasoning behind his surname became known that same day and the three chose to keep their knowledge of events a secret at least for now. A few years later when James and Kelsey decided upon joining Starfleet as officers their parents namely their father became enraged. That was the day when James and Kelsey explained that they knew the truth about what their father had done to disgrace the family name and the family honor. The Cohen family was a proud Jewish family originally living in New York City until David had gotten Brenda pregnant outside of marriage which was a big deal. And, instead of facing the family and what they had requested to be done David fled with Brenda to Los Angeles. Years later David was faced with the same instance, however he was unaware that Marcus was also involved. In anger the twins changed their names legally to Cohen and disowned any knowledge of their parents. James and Kelsey joined Starfleet Academy later that year in the field of Operations. James was assigned to the U.S.S. Reagan a New Orleans class starship as a propulsion specialist on board. His knowledge in the engine dynamics and the efficiency in which he was able to improve the usage of resources led to his promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade two years after he graduated the academy. A year later the Assistant Chief Operations had been reassigned leaving the position empty and the Chief Operations Officer recommended James Cohen for the job as he continued to learn about the many other systems on board the starship. His abilities to run operations alone later led to his promotion to Lieutenant around four years later. James would spend more than ten years on board the Reagan before seeking a new position on board a Luna Class starship the U.S.S. Iapetus. |
