Special Abilities: Drive, and more drive.
Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Said drive. Once he has his eyes on the goal he doesn't tend to the see the people he knocks over or bruises on the way.
History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: John is the second son of a great Starfleet Captain. His Father in command of the USS Armstrong won minor battles, collected two first contact stars and five red cross citations and never ruffled the feathers of high command. The very image of the successful Captain.
       Richard retired from the service to raise a family and did so in good order. His first son was the apple of his eye. The boy was first in his class, a natural athlete, and when the time came he was off to Starfleet Academy to fill his Father's shoes.
       Richard never came home. As a Lieutenant Commander his ship was into the teeth of the Cardassian war. The scout was never seen again.
       The Aldrins had another son as well. He was good at his classes, a decent athlete, but he could never measure up to his brother's achievements. He entered law school not Starfleet, he sought position in politics, not a proper service. In everything John came up short compared to the infinite measuring stick of his dear departed Brother.
       John pursued a wife and got her. Goal accomplished she was left behind for other conquests. That one came back and bit him. People he found cannot be idly cast aside when you are done with them. As a result he doesn't get close to people anymore.
       John's endless campaigning got him a position as Under-Councilor on the Earth delegation. Then Councilor Layton won position as the Council President. That leaves John in the position of Earth Councilor. The only bitter taste in his mouth is that he didn't win it outright. Once Layton is safely out of the picture he plans to win that too.
Position: Aldrin is firmly in the Layton camp. Firm defense, do what it takes to protect the hearth and home conservatism. Aldrin however is not a pro Starfleet politician, party and name aside. He makes the right "yea defense" noises and lobbies for greater local defense and a smaller Starfleet.
