Son and magnus opus of famed roboticist Dr Bruce Maddox. Technically an artificial life form created by Dr Maddox, Andrew was raised by the Doctor as his only son.

Education

Primary Schooling at Star Fleet Headquarters, his father enrolled him there so that he could still see him everyday. He attended college at the University of Berkley, where he majored in Astronomy and Astral Physics. He then attended Star Fleet Academy, Majoring in Science (specializing in Computers and Robotics/Cybernetics) and minoring in Engineering. After the Academy he attended the Daystrom Institute and furthered his education in Science and his specialties.

Pre-Starfleet History

Star Fleet Brat, Andrew largely stayed in the area that used to be the State of California. Primary School in San Fransisco, College at Berkley, then Andrew joined Star Fleet Academy.

Starfleet History

His first ship assignment was a research vessel assigned to the core Federation worlds. (Due to calling in quite a few favors by his father, unbeknown to Andrew) The need for cutting edge scientists in exploration vessels, was too much to ignore, and finally even the pull of Doctor Maddox, couldn't keep Andrew away, and he was assigned to the Rosenante. There he participated as a science officer in several missions. One mission in oposition of the Borg, Maddox was duped into believing that he could be an ambassador to the two governments. It was a ruse. The Borg implanted a weapon into Maddox so that he would find the Captain for them. They triggered the weapon too early and it nearly cost another officer their life. Maddox realizing he had been duped, helped fend off the Borg attack. Due to this event, he was administratively reduced to crewman in leiu of a courtmartial. He stayed that way until he re-earned the confidence of the ship's captain. Only then was he re-instated as an officer.

Medical History

Andrew is actually an android human analog. Though artificial, Andrew posesses no abilities not able to be posessed by an extraordinary human being. His skeleton is a calcium alloy with superconductor circuitry. His skeleton is overlayed with living tissue who's genetics were borrowed from samples of his father/creator and a female lab assistant that died in an accident in the lab. (through out his child hood refered to as his mother, though technically correct because she had a part in his creation too, she designed his genetic structure) Andrew has blood type O Neg, so he can give blood to any human. His body replicates every human biological function in every functional way. He has a nanite assisted immune system so he rarely gets sick. His brain is however, fully artificial and positronic. The codes stored in his positronic net cannot be forcibly removed, by any means shown to date. His body sends of signals so that normal scans will reveal him as completely human. Only an indepth or highly sophisticated scan will reveal him for what he is. He has a slight nervousness disorder, which he seeks counseling once a month.

Skills

Andrew has an affinity for numbers and tends to on average solve mathematical equations faster in a crunch then most of his peers. He also has a near eidetic memory, being able to recall small details that most individuals miss. Astronomy, Astral Physics, Computers and Robotics/Cybernetics are his strong sciences. Sometimes being present in his father's research lab has given Andrew a leg up on those subjects, having prior experience. However, being an officer is rather new to Andrew. He has little to no concept of accounting for other people, other then the lectures on leadership he got from the academy, he has no knowledge of and certainly no practical knowledge on the subject.
