Name:
Captain Adidem, notice no surname... like Madonna. Oh wait, you don't know who that is? hmm, I guess not everyone got a degree in 20th century music.
Ship Name & Class:
U.S.S. Irrelevant (don't ask, it will become clear.) The ship is a salvaged hybrid, I remember my time with the Borg and somethings they got wrong and some they got right. I like to modify and upgrade as I go.
Character Class:
I am one of the best darn engineers to ever grace the hallowed ground that is a ships engineering section. I was good before I had my little... um, 'encounter' with the Borg. Now I have a entire toolkit for a left hand, I must say it has its upsides.
Shame its not a hit with the ladies...
Skills you bring to fleet:
I am a damn fine greasedawg, if you can break it, I can remake it. Couple that with the fact that unlike the other few souls who have been saved from the Borg by Starfleet I like my implants more than ma' looks. That may not sound important, but next time theres a hull breach and I can fix it without needing O2.... or even tools you will understand. Yes, I maybe powerful ugly but I get the job done no matter the odds.
Position you might like to fill:
Hell, I'll continue to do my job if yah except me or not but if you want me on your team this is what I do:
I answer distress calls and render aid when possible, I don't do this because I'm a nice guy to be honest. I do this because its easier to find salvage without starting a fight that is gonna get my butt kicked by the Feddies if I return fire. I get the salvage from whatever was attacking, the survivors are happy to see me and I sometimes even get a small nod from Starfleet.
Its not maybe the best reason to do it but I don't see the guys I rescue complain.

Little is known about Captain Adidem before he became Borg, the simple fact that all crew from over a dozen ships where missing from his colony world before anyone found that a small fragment of a Borg cube that had drifted into the local space as not a dead chunk of metal.
The first ship that found it saw it as a salvage opportunity and the few Borg drones still alive thought the same thing. After a week and three more ships, attracted to the easier to find growing metal object in search of salvage, the Borg craft had restored enough function to start active attempts to assimilate local spacecraft.
At this point a distress call was made known to Starfleet that a Borg vessel was loose near <colony name removed pending scientific salvage analysis>. A fleet was dispatched to engage.
Due to the rather primitive state of the vessel it was disabled as used as a test platform for Starfleet to gain more intel on Borg culture and methods. To this day, more Borg drones have been liberated from the collective off the Borg construct in <classified> than at any-other time.
Captain Adidem was one of these lucky souls. He recalls little of his original life but broke the collective 'habit' easier than most others, even enrolling in many earth University courses. He currently holds the record for a number of degrees held, mainly in part from his refusal to have most of the implants removed.
Students complaints that his method of downloading all available information on a subject prior to the exam is more inline with cheating than 'revision' as Captain Adidem claims.
Personal notes:
Say what you like about this guy, he looks like a Borg but under those implants is a stone cold rogue who will take your last energy cred in a game of poker with a smile. I don't trust him, I shouldn't like him.
But I do.
OOC:
I am a 33 year old Server administrator living in the U.K.
My interests include:
computer gaming, role playing (pen and paper, etc), reading (horror, scifi)and I have been playing MMO's for well over ten years now.
I used to be in the military up until one year ago, I saw a lot of sand and did some stuff I don't wanna talk about.
I have a horrible sense of humor, should you let me join I will pun you to death.
I have a lifetime sub, as you could guess from the Borg captain.
