==Biography==
Adam was born on earth in the small town of Athens, New York.  Like so many aspiring youngsters he dreamed of life in the federation armed forces, drawn in by the illusions offered by recruitment campaigns and the drama of movies and books portraying deep space as an adventure waiting to be discovered when he turned eighteen he enlisted and attended a federation academy on earth.   
Adam was born on Earth in the small town of Utica, New York in 2348.  Like many aspiring youth, he dreamed of life in the [[Federation]] armed forces, drawn toward the illusions offered by recruitment campaigns and the drama of movies and books portraying deep space as an adventure waiting to be discovered for those with the itch and urge to see where life would take them, and when he turned eighteen in the year 2366, he joined [[Starfleet Academy]]. 
 
At the Academy, Cadet Kingston showed himself friendly with his fellow cadets, and superiors, especially those in the [[Security]] field. By taking the time to be interested in the field, he showed considerable potential for such duties, seeming to read certain situations far better than his peers, and had a decent memory. In the end, he graduated the same year as two other Cadets that were to end up serving on the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'', namely [[Vivian Martin]] and [[Thomas Ravon, callsign "Razor"|Thomas Ravon]].
 
After graduation, he served in the [[Security]] Department aboard the ''[[USS Lexington]]'' for nine years.  He had a rather eventful career though it has been noted on his file that there have been a number of accusations of borderline behavior, especially toward  enemies in the fieldThis resulted in a number of citations against him in recent years. He was passed over for promotions because of it, only promoted to Junior Lieutenant shortly before his transfer to the ''[[USS Crazy Horse]]'' in 2378.
 
When he served on the ''[[USS Crazy Horse|Crazy Horse]]'', the ship was sent to Besus to negotiate for peace with the [[Ikuli]] Empire.  Throughout the mission Adam thought something was off about the situation, and urged caution to his superiors although nothing came of it. He has harbored a buried resentment toward [[Starfleet Command]] since that incident. He served on the ''Crazy Horse'' for two years, until he was transferred to the ''[[USS Theurgy]]''.
 
Aboard the ''Theurgy'', he had a fresh start, so to speak, and he has used the opportunity to its fullest, showing that he could be a model officer.  He had shown a subtle bent toward bulldog behavior but has kept his thoughts to himself and kept his mouth shut for the most part.
 
After the voyage to Romulus, when the ''Theurgy'' had returned to Earth and subsequently had to flee, Adam was slightly shocked about the revelation concerning [[Starfleet Command]]. Part of him questioned how such an occurrence could have remained hidden for so long, while another part wondered if fleeing from the fleet and fighting was the right choice. He chose to follow orders as previously, but no longer trusted [[Captain Jien Ives]] or the senior staff as he once did. He was beginning to see that difficult situations required difficult decisions. His concerns eased a bit over time, and he decided to continue to serve aboard the rogue ship.


At the academy, Cadet Kingston got into considerable trouble by being a little to friendly with his fellow cadets, and superiors, especially any cadet that was female. Despite this character flaw he showed considerable potential for security, seeming to read certain situations far better then his peers, and a decent memory. After graduation he served in security aboard the USS Lexington and advanced through his ranks at a fairly steady rate.
When the ''Theurgy'' reached [[Niga]], Adam was infected by [[ThanIda zh'Wann]], and while he couldn’t remember his own actions, he ended up infecting a lot of other crewmembers. Among them, Cadet [[Ester Hamburg]], fighter pilot [[Hannah Slaverton]], engineer [[Nicole Howard]] and the First Officer at the time, Commander [[Nerina]]. Since he couldn’t remember his own actions, it didn’t affect him much, beyond noticing how some of the crew kept their distance. He since tried to conduct himself in a manner worthy of at least the Captain's goodwill. The rest of the crew might not have had any respect for him... hell, he didn't even respect himself much, but since he was alive by some miracle, he'd make the best of it.


Despite his rather successful military career it has been noted on his file that there have been a number of accusations of unprofessional behavior, especially toward female underlings.  This has resulted in a number of citations against him in recent years up till coming aboard the USS Theurgy.  Aboard the Theurgy he has had a fresh start so to speak, and he has used the opportunity to its fullest keeping his nose clean so to speak.  He has shown a subtle interest in Ida and Jien's female forms but has kept his hands to himself and kept his mouth shut for the most part. When they were sent to the Romulan neutral zone to negotiate for peace with the Romulan Empire. Throughout the mission Adam thought something was off about the situation, and urged caution to his superiors although nothing came of it. He still suspects that the fleets would have clashed had the Theurgy remained in the neutral zone.  
When the [[Ishtar]] Entity visited upon the ''Theurgy'', Adam was unaffected by her antiques, serving as usual in [[Security]] and remaining oblivious to the events that unfolded on the bridge and in some parts of the ship. His single-mindedness was what may have saved him.  


Adam was and still is slightly shocked about the revelation concerning starfleet command, part of him questions how such an occurrence could have remained hidden for so long, well another part questions if resisting them is the right choice in the first place.  For now he chooses to follow orders as previously but no longer trusts Jien or the senior staff as he once did.
He was, however, almost killed by the A.I. hologram of the ''[[USS Calamity]]''. After the severe trauma he suffered to his head, it remained unknown if he could be resuscitated, and if he was, if he would remain the same man as he used to be.
 
When he awakened aboard Vector 03 of the ''Theurgy'', he suspected that the trauma he suffered has erased some aspects of his former personality. He would soon learn that he was a more dedicated, personable officer instead of a gruff loner.
