Damien Starr is a 28 year old Human male from Aberdeen, Washington, Earth. His father died when he was only six years old. This left his windowed mother to raise him and his baby sister, Sasha, alone. His grandfather spent a lot of time around the kids trying his best to fill the father-figure roll the best he could. His grandfather was always an inspiration to him. When Damien turned 14 his Grandfather died. To pay tribute to the only father he's ever known, Damien decided to follow in his grandfathers foot-steps and become a doctor. He withdrew from everyone and focused heavily on his studies. During high-school he dual-enrolled in college and graduated with his Associates Degree right out the door. After high school he spent the next two years at Washington State University, completing his Bachelors Degree; before moving to California for med school. There he spent the next four years at Stanford University School of Medicine. It was in California he had his first real experience with Star fleet. At the endorsement of his favorite professor, Dr. Zimmerman, he decided to peruse a career with Star fleet.

At age 24 he enrolled in Starfleet Medical Acadamy. Being an eight years long program would prove to be a bigger trial on his patience than anything he's delt with to date.

After completion of his fourth year Damien was suffering severely from burn out. Needing a break from the grind of student studies, he decided to take the unique opportunity to enroll in a medical internship aboard Deep Space 5. He wanted to prove that he was ready for Starfleet now, not needing the additional four years of schooling required by Starfleet Medical.
