| Personal History | Drayton was born on Vulcan to Lu'Pal a Vulcan Ambassador and Kenneth Hunt an Starfleet Officer. For the first four years of his life, Drayton lived on Vulcan which he extremely disliked. The other Vulcan's including his own mother refused to accept him, because of his Human ways. After that Drayton was sent to live with his father, stepmother Kimora, and brother Alonzo. Drayton preferred living with his father and his stepmother was the mother he felt he never had on Vulcan. Life was pretty much good for his family aboard the USS Avalon, until he was nine years old. During an attack on Starfleet in the year 2394 was where his stepmother was seriously injured. The guilt of not being able to help his stepmother plagued him for years. By the age of twelve, due to years of frustration and holding so much inside. Drayton began fighting, getting in all sorts of trouble and had gotten completely out of control. As a last resort, Drayton was sent to staybwith his mother for the next two years. During this time on Vulcan, he learned to meditate and suppress his feelings of extreme anger. And also learned to embrace a little bit of his Vulcan side. After moving back with his father at fourteen, Drayton had already decided that a career in Starfleet was the direction he wanted to go in life. Upon graduating from High school, the young man was accepted into the Academy. At the Academy, Drayton worked hard and partied even harder. And during his freshman year was where he met roommate and best friend John Danne. Together the two were known for practical jokes, as well as getting in and out of trouble in a couple of bar fights. By senior year Drayton and John had built a remarkable reputation for their many exploits. As well for the many parties they held at their place. But it was during his first semester of his final year where he met and fell in love with fellow Cadet Melissa Gladwell. The two had met at a local club in San Francisco, exchanged numbers, and the rest was history. Upon graduating Drayton was assigned to the USS Ethos and Melissa was sent to Starfleet Medical. Drayton not wanting to be held back by a relationship, called the relationship off. In 2410, Drayton was assigned to USS Prospero which was assigned to explore the Atlantis system. Once again he found himself reunited with Melissa Gladwell who was a counselor on board. Realizing the mistake, he made years ago, Drayton tried to start another relationship with her. Not wanting to be hurt by him again, Melissa turned down his offer for another chance and eventually left the Prospero to pursue her career in the civilian sector. In 2414, Hunt started a new relationship with Josephina Reyes a new security officer on board. After almost dating for a year, Drayton proposed and the two became engaged. This relationship lasted for a for a few years, but after the loss of his best friend John Danne is 2417. Things became difficult with him being unable to cope and Josephina and himself agreed to call off the engagement. After talking with his mother Lu'Pal a couple of years later, the Commander realized that he hadn't had any real time off in years. Also he decided to begin to embrace his Vulcan side and try to integrate it with Human emotion. So, in 2421, Drayton requested a few months of leave. During his time on Vulcan, Drayton stumbled Melissa Gladwell who had rejoined Starfleet and happened to be on Counseling Convention. After several discussions and realizing that they both had grown quite a bit, they rekindled their relationship and after two year the two got married |
