History
Renato Jose Gutierrez-Lopez was born in 2359 in Mendoza, Argentina. Prior to the events of 2385, his family had very little interest in Starfleet. The way they saw the universe was, that everyone was trying to destroy the paradise they had. The Borg, Klingons, Romulans, Dominion and now the Synthetic Lifeforms that they created.
After the Synth Attack his family shifted their priority to join Starfleet and help protect the Federation, from anyone who would threaten to hurt the Federation Ideals.
In 2377 just a couple years removed, from the Dominion War, Ren decided to join Starfleet Academy. He felt the calling to join Starfleet. Partially because he was an explorer at heart. And to help defend the ideals of the Federation. His family was supportive, but at the time they did not join. He was the only member of his family to do so.
By 2381 Ren completed Starfleet Academy and started his career in Starfleet. He was a security Officer aboard the USS Davenport. The main focus of the vessel was scientific exploration. He served on the Davenport until 2388 when he was offered the Chief of Security aboard the USS Valor.
By 2385 Ren served as Chief of Security and Tactical aboard the USS Valor. On the Valor he learned valuable diplomacy skills, and operational command procedures. He also went on several away missions. Most of the missions on the Valor, were about boarder patrols and defense.
By 2392 Ren was offered a chance to serve as Second Officer and Chief of Security and Tactical aboard the USS Horizon. He was given more opportunity to hone his skills in leadership, he spent more time learning command protocols, and leadership skills.
By 2396 Ren was promoted to Executive Officer of the USS Tianjin. He spent the next four years learning under the great Captain Abigail Montgomery, he felt really drawn to her. She was his mentor and dear friend, almost like a second mother to her. By 2400 she practically had to kick him off the Tianjin, she knew he was ready to command a ship of his own.
