History
Early Life (2380-2396)
William “Bill” Prentice was born on 3.1.2380 to Matthew and Portia Prentice in New York City, NY. His personality quickly became that of a daredevil child. His parents have many stories of him jumping, falling, rolling, and every other kind of motion – and escaping serious injury most of the time. In his childhood, he broke each arm and leg twice – all at different times and by different causes. He graduated high school early in 2396 and immediately applied to Starfleet Academy at 16.
Starfleet Academy (2396-2400)
More daredevil antics marked his academy years as a helm officer in training. His disciplinary records equal his citation records. On more than one occasion, he was restricted to quarters for weekends and counseled by multiple instructors about his actions and behavior. During the first part of his senior year, a fellow cadet names Patricia Polast was killed in a training accident. While no one cause was identified, multiple cadets were cited for their careless attitudes and attention during the training – Prentice was one of them. He retreated to his room for the remainder of the year and only attended class before shutting himself back in his room. He graduated with a Tactical/Security endorsement and was assigned to the USS Erigone as Chief Helm Officer. He knows his assignment is partially a punishment and a second chance to prove himself.
