Personal History

Will enlisted illegally in the SFMC at age 16. He was able to be overlooked’ by connections his father had at the time.  His first deployment was under request to DS9. After becoming Expeditionary certified reaching Corporal he was selected for Recon Special Forces training. He excelled in this program conducted several classified operations for Starfleet during this time. Because of his success, he climbed the enlisted ranks with unusual speed peaking at Gunnery Sergeant.  During his time as an enlisted Special Operator and Tiger-Recon Platoon Sergeant, Will first met a sniper who would have a large impact on him further down the road; then Private Melissa Osborn.

After the third try (his mathematics scores were low) he was accepted to the officer-training program. During his time on DS9, Will met a young Human/Bajoran woman named Mara Meagher. She had fled the station from her home world and a position in the Bajoran Militia. They became very close friends. However Will cared for her more than that. For a time they had a series of romantic experiences. But Mara, being younger and still lost in what she wanted put an end to it. Will was seriously hurt as he had fallen in love with her, but he kept it held inside. Worried about his beloved’s future, he advised her to apply to the Academy. Her qualifications as a Chief Weapons Officer with the Bajoran Militia would make her a prime candidate for Starfleet Academy. He was right and she began her term the next fall.

 Will requested an active ship deployment, deciding he wanted slightly less action and more exploration; and hopefully a distraction from thoughts of Mara After the usual bureaucratic stall, he was assigned to the USS Sheridan to command her first Marine detachment; a platoon of 38 marines.

What Will did not know was that, also newly stationed on the Sheridan, was now Midshipman Mara Meagher. His first notification of her presence was during a criminal interrogation he participated in with the ship’s First Officer, then Commander Joe Daher. As part of his confession, the suspect mentioned seeing Captain Dramar receive a kiss from the ‘new hottie in Tactical, Mid Meagher.’ Will was enraged, and experienced several instances nearing inability to perform his duties. During his first tour on the Sheridan, he was promoted to 1^st Lieutenant.

At one point, the Sheridan was attacked by a terrorist under the commission of Boris Vlodnack. The majority of the crew, save Meagher and a few others, were injected with a hallucinogenic toxin. While he was affected, Will confessed his undying love for Mara. In the aftermath of the situation, which was brought under control mainly by Meagher, Will came to the conclusion he could not serve on the same vessel as Mara did.

He put in transfer for his unit and was granted it near the same time he received a promotion, as one of the last acts by Commander Daher who had recently been promoted to Captain, to Marine Captain. What Will did not know was, for similar reasons, Mara had requested transfer and was assigned as CTO aboard the USS Drake.

Will was assigned to command a company of Expeditionary Marines and the fighter wing of the USS Comet. Will preformed his duties with distinction during the Euracai conflict, and earned a promotion to Major and awarded the Diamond Star at the SBA promotion party.

Before that, during the shore lave on SBA, Will met Mara on the station and requested she talk to him to hear him out. He had made the mistake of drinking before had, and instead of working issues out, he simply let all his emotions go on her. Mara was overwhelmed, for she had similar, yet slightly different feelings for Will. Instead of responding in any way Will wanted her to, she fled from him into the arms of Captain Quill Dramar, her now serious love interest.

Will took his mind off the matter the only way he knew how. Heavy drinking, then repression and attendance to a serious social function in uniform, the SBA promotion party. He had been able to distract himself in two ways. The first was his spotting a striking Engineering Officer on the crew of the Gettysburg. The second was his promotion and reception of a medal.

With the Euracai mission over, and the Comet being re-tasked elsewhere in the fleet, Will was transferred as the Marine CO onboard the USS Gettysburg. There he learned the name of that Engineer, Aiyana Baldwin. He quickly befriended several of the officers, partly due to his desire to branch out socially to forget the pain of Mara, including the First Officer, Commander Lein Meor.

During that time Will engaged in a fraternizing relationship with one of his snipers, now Staff Sergeant Melissa Osborn. Since Mara, Melissa had been the only other woman Will had gotten involved with that made him happy again. The relationship had grown out of a long professional relationship of trust and mutual respect. The added factor that officer-enlisted relations in the direct chain of command were forbidden added to the thrill. However Will had made a vital mistake he was known to make with women; he misread her character. Well into the relationship with Will, Osborn began an even more secret relationship with another Marine under Will’s command; a SSgt Nick Carnevali. Due to the nature of Recon units, this two was forbidden. When Will found out he was crushed, but was also enraged. He sought Non-Judicial-Punishment for the two, busting them down several ranks. Although it was a highly hypocritical move, Will displayed his inability to keep a level head when he was emotional.

Confused by the Generals’ words, and honored by Captain Meor’s offer, he accepted and transferred his commission to Lieutenant Commander. Soon after he was promoted to Commander. The first and last mission for the Drake’ brand new command crew was classified as a ‘disaster’ in Will’s mind. The ship had been sent to check on SB 289, which had lost communication with SF Command. Upon arrival the crew discovered the station had been taken over by hostile parasite entities. The crew of the Drake mounted a daringly successful attack to re-capture the station. The attack ended in several lost officers on the Station, and 7 crewmembers from the Drake lost. Not to include Captain Meor attacked by a parasite seriously enough that all the Drake could do for him was to place him in medical stasis.

By the mission’s end, Will stepped down as First Officer pending reassignment. For a month he stayed aboard Starbase Alpha, unsure of what to do next. The loss of a close friend, and several under his command (although both were not new experiences) for some reason effected him. He also now wallowed over his broken heart from not one, but two women whom he had fully trusted; and, in his mind, had both betrayed him.

Again General Rixx had what Will needed to bring him out of his self-destructive and depressed spiral. He was recalled to the Marine Corps Special forces group designated Tiger (the most elite Special Operators in the SFMC) and assigned command of a strike team tasked with a highly sensitive mission. His commission was reverted to Lieutenant Colonel, and his next posting was that aboard the USS Yeager, team leader of Strike Team Tiger-36. The scout ship was to covertly insert his hand-picked team of Tiger operators to their objective.
