===Early Adolescence (2377-2382):===

Days after the last Dominion invaders were expunged from Betazed, Jorey and his brother left the USS Helios with their father to rebuild and live at the family home. For the next three years the Jorey family morned the loss of those lost in the Battle of Betazed, rebuilt their the family complex, and Jorey and his brother continued their education. The loss of Jorey's grandfather affected him greatly, but found relief in the presence of his grandmother and the religious practices he learned from his grandfather. During this time Jorey's grandmother continued to train Jorey in martial arts focusing on Tassa’Akai.  

In the months leading up to Jorey's 12th birthday, he was haunted by terrible dreams of broken images and intense emotions regarding the Battle of Betazed and the death of his grandfather. Although, Jorey was young, his father could sense his telepathic awakening and focused on preparing Jorey through religious practice and meditation. Eventually, Jorey and his family celebrated his awakening when his telepathic abilities surfaced. However, they were all shocked and surprised to realize that the spirit of his grandfather was able to communicate through Jorey. It quickly became clear that Jorey had a high telepathic worth and his father, with the influence of his grandmother, secured the best education and tutors possible – including spiritual leaders, Tassa'Akai masters, and Starfleet educators.

===Late Adolescence (2382-2385):===

After 5 years of being away from his mother, Jorey's father and mother each accepted posts aboard the [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=USS_Degault USS Degault] so the family could be reunited. Added to the joy of being reunited with his mother, Jorey was thrilled to discover that his childhood friend Koroth was also aboard the Degault as a junior security officer. The two quickly picked up where they left off and felt as though no time had passed between them. However, their abilities in sparring with each other had greatly improved. The two shared with each other what they had learned and spent much of their free time together.

In 2383, the USS Degault was exploring a rarely surveyed system near the neutral zone and was studying the long term effects of the Crystalline Entity's impact on Malona IV. Atmospheric interference made teleporting to the surface impossible so an away team was sent to the surface aboard a shuttle, including Jorey's parents. However, before the shuttle made it to the planet a Romulan ship, commanded by Remans, decloaked and entered into battle with the Degault. The shuttlecraft carrying Jorey's parents was destroyed and the Degault took heavy damage, but was able to fend of the attack. The senior staff decided to honour Jorey's parents by sharing the responsibility of caring for him, upon the persuasive recommendation of his grandmother.

===Starfleet Academy (2385-2389):===

Jorey was accepted into Starfleet Academy and studied at the academy's main campus on Earth. He majored in Tactical, minored in Helm/Nav, and based on the premonitions of his grandfather focused his elective courses on intelligence. Jorey, having served aboard the Degault, had a difficult time adjusting to life at the Academy. It was far more quiet and less was expected of him. Fortunately, his studies kept him very busy. Jorey did well in the academy and was always ranked within the top 5 of his class, including first ranking in many tactics courses, however he often struggled with engineering course requirements but was able to attain adequate standing.  

Jorey also found himself involved in a variety of extra-curricular activities and events. Jorey was a natural athlete and found his telepathic worth gave him an added advantage in opponent based competitions. He was the captain of his Velocity team and led them to championship in his last two years at the academy. Jorey was also a top scoring striker in the Academy soccer league. In his last year at the academy, Jorey was invited and accompanied Koroth to the Planet Forcas III to compete in the Klingon Bat'leth competition. Jorey, combining his skill with the Bat'leth (he learned from Koroth) with his training with the Tassa'Akai masters, was victorious in his final battle against Koroth. Jorey is one of few non-Klingons to have been awarded Champion Standing.

[[Image:Koroth.jpeg|thumb|left|Koroth]]

Jorey met Koroth, a Klingon boy a couple years older than Jorey, aboard the USS Helios when they were very young. They attended classes together and became quick friends. Their friendship started off as something very superficial, however over the next few years they taught each other about their culture, traditions, faith and martial arts. Jorey and Koroth reunited in adolescence aboard the USS Degault. Over the next few years their relationship developed into something more profound and eventually became romantic. However, things were put on hold when Jorey left the Degualt for Starfleet Academy. However, in Jorey's last year at the academy he and Koroth travelled to Forcas III for the Bat'leth competition. The days on Forcas III saw the tensions between their families ease as they realized the profound connection and deep love for each other. It was during this time that Jorey realized that Koroth was his Imzadi, his first true love, and would be till death. However, the two were forced to put things on hold again as they are on different paths, Koroth on the Degault and Jorey on the Tiger. The two remain close and place a great deal of value on their friendship.
