I decided to finally make an origin story for my main character a little while ago and for some dang reason I feel the urge to hear what others think of it so here.

Eight of Ten(Liberated Borg Human)

*Excerpt from a section 31 personnel file*

The birth date of Eight is unknown as is his real name. Current info on this subject proves that he was born sometime in the 18th century but due to a temporal vessel of unkown origin crash landing where his suspected hometown was all records of his birth or childhood have been lost. Once the craft had crashed the temporal drive destructed causing a massive explosion that wiped out all life within the area although ,through unknown means Eight survived, however due to heavy exposure to chronitons his body stopped aging completely at around the age of 24 and increased his healing factor intelligence and strength to above average levels.

After about 10 years a vessel from Temporal investigations came to investigate the crash having missed the impact date due to a malfunction in their temporal drive. After locating the crash site they discovered Eight there, as he visited the crash site to remember the family he lost there, and seeing his mutation from chroniton energy took him with them to investigate just how his body survived radiation levels that would have vaporized any life forms exposed to them. Once he was onboard the ship received orders to investigate an event in the beginning of the 25th. While the ship arrived in the timeline and began searching for the event( current data on the "Event" is located within another file) Eight took the opportunity to peruse the ships database as he waited for whatever came next. Due to his increased intelligence he took to the information quickly and soon was familiar enough with the current sciences and history of the time to be a citizen there.

A short time after the ship experienced a catastrophic malfunction believed to have been caused by the "Event" which they decided to emergency evacuate out of the ship. Everyone on board having forgotten about him for the time Eight decided to use the transporter to escape however due to an explosion of chronitons winded up transporting to earth in the year 2400. Using his natural guile he quickly came to be a citizen of the federation and began living out a quiet life however he eventually decided to take a trip to Deep Space Nine in order to get a more adventurous life. During the journey aboard an unknown freighter the ship was the victim of a surprise attack by Borg. The majority of the crew was assimilated however the nanites that were intended to assimilate Eight failed to access any information stored in his brain although still managed to assimilate him.

A couple years later an unkown force believed to be the "Event" caused a massive systems failure in the Borg cube where Eight was stationed. The failure cause home. To finally be freed from the collective however he still had to get off the cube before its destruction. Luckily a federation ship was in the vicinity and by hacking into the cubes transporters hae managed to save himself and another now liberated Borg known as Five of Seven. Although he was freed from the collective his memories of his real name and identity where lost when the nanites failed to assimilate his memories. The crew began to call him Eight as that had been his Borg designation. After the crew removed as much of the Borg cybernetics from him as possible he and Five joined them on a voyage back to earth where once they arrived they joined Starfleet and began their career as cadets. While at the academy Eight made new friends and surprised the instructors by excelling at all tasks he was set upon even showing impressive leadership and diplomacy skills that would befit a captain of the highest caliber.

For more data on Eight of Tens personnel file you must wait until the rest of his file is reviewed for inconsistencies and details are added where due.

Well there ya go. All feedback is welcome.
