The same ideals as his family. He was raised with the thought and grounded on the fact that God is the universe, there are things that are beyond our understanding and shouldn't be understood, not meant to be labeled. Equality is something within all species between sentient species. Honor, live by the sword and die by it. The pure ideals Jacen live by like many of his family sometimes would be a great weakness. The pure ideals that they are something beyond the current conception of law and fall back onto natural justice would even justify vendetta. These ideals would conflict with Jacen's duties as a Starfleet officer which of the Federation's laws, rules, and regulation and would ultimately clash against the pure ideals of Jacen's House, which is to live by the sword, vendetta by right, natural justice, and justice that doesn't nessessarily mean by the law.

== Relationships ==


== '''Personality''' ==
Right before Jacen entered Starfleet academy, he was put into an arranged marriage with a childhood friend he hadn't seen for years, Himeyu Ayame. There was no doubt that she was a beautiful, intelligence woman, but Jacen didn't have a choice in the matter. If it wasn't an arranged marriage, he sometimes questions if he would have married her. Nevertheless, he is completely devoted to his wife, love her passionately and does his duties to her.


On the other hand, the engagement to his wife had lasted for a few years into his academy days and all the way into his first assignment on the Victory. He had forgetting all about it until Himeyu had visited him. At the time and still even today, Jacen had harbored a desired for [[Assanti, Cura|Cura]], his mentor who helped him adjust to life in Starfleet. At first, it he wanted it to be a different kind of love, a pure love beyond desire, but it turned out to be harder to maintain that kind of love. He eventually felt this great attraction to her even as she rises to a Captain rank. She was aware of his feelings, and even he would not break his vows with his wife to cross a line that shouldn't meant to be cross. The two had talked about it and it was the end of that. Jacen had swear he can no longer let his feelings run wild. He said he loved his wife, but he never actually fell in love with her, but will be loyal because that was the path he decided for himself.


== Personality and Personal History==
If someone were to describe him I believe they would call him loyal. He always stay true to whatever path he takes and is willing to go through all the hardships that lay before him. He always had chosen that hard road of life because half the time it is not the choosing of the path but the acceptance of it. He wanted to make a difference, but was always left out. He tries hard and when he finally achieve one goal he has a million more to do. So he lives on from day to day, living the way he wants to be.

He tries hard and when he finally achieve one goal he has a million more to do. So he lives on from day to day, living the way he wants to be.


His family is scattered all around, never having the time to take care of him and leaving him in the care of teachers and sitters. He was raised to take care of himself. He was bullied in his younger age for not having the lifestyles they had. He had friends and they were the closest thing he had to a family. He comes from a long line of military men and women all the way back to ancient times of swordsman throughout the world from knights of England to the Samurai of Japan, carrying the family sword to prove his true loyalty is to his family and their code of honor.
He comes from a long line of military men and women all the way back to ancient times of swordsman throughout the world from knights of England to the Samurai of Japan, carrying the family sword to prove his true loyalty is to his family and their code of honor.
 
He hides his problems under a thick coat of pride, achievement, and self righteousness. Everything he does, from the moment he wakes up he lives for the perfection. That is the discipline taught unto him as with all members of his family. Clear cut devotion and loyalty to the House, and the will and determination in any purpose.
 
Jacen is sometimes too determined. He can be ill-tempered when he hears something he doesn't like. Half the time, he tries to impose his belief on others and then rushes off to try to prove something. In this regard, he had imposed a self exile from his family. He wanted to be away from the traditions of his House. In his entire life, he has only been to his homeworld twice so far. In his noble personality, he fails to see some common sense or seeks to understand others if they do something that violates his own principles. Another one of his problems would be at times, lack of response to authority like officers that outrank him. He would repeatedly speak frankly to them as equals. As an officer, he has a natural respect that comes with the position, but most of the time, he feels the need to let others, especially those higher positions from him to earn his actual respect. Competent is one thing compared to respectability. He will obey a direct order from above, but he doesn't have to like who gives the order. Though he also has a dislike for disloyalty even if it for the "right" reasons. He can agree to some smuggling operations, but take them down if they are doing it to help criminals or transporting something deadly. There are many things, Jacen would consider a problem, though some things he would allow as a necessary evil on the universe. He like most his House believes that without evil in the universe, how can good be defined?
 
His immediate family comprises of his father, Zeon and his mother, Leronica. He also has a number of siblings including 3 brothers, Casval, a twin Dante, and younger brother, David. Also 2 sisters, Artesia and a younger one, Akira. He rarely sees any of them except for social events that calls him an his family back to the homeworld. It is Fanel policy to encourage the young when the time comes, for them to reach out into space, explore, enrich and bring back those enrichment to add to their collective. This also leads to many of the Fanels advances in technology.


He hides his problems under a thick coat of pride, achievement, and self righteousness. Everything he does, from the moment he wakes up he lives for the perfection for whatever he does. That is the discipline he taught himself. To devote oneself to the perfection of whatever you do.
Jacen had an arranged marriage to a childhood friend that had been long held off. It was easier for him to accept it because he was marrying someone he knows. The love would grow after the marriage even more. Many of Jacen's family wed through arrange marriages, most of them good matches with pairs accepting one another well without any problems later. One can challenge the arrange marriage if they have someone else they are willing for fight for, but since Jacen never had an outside love to develop that he would refuse his arrange marriage, nothing ever happened. Jacen accepted the marriage and loves his wife, Himeyu.


He had entered the military life at a young age, wanting to learn the trade that his family had been doing for generation. He really wanted to be like his father, the proud and what he would always call "invincible" warrior, but he always feel that he can never be his father. Because of that goal, he had studied varies of subjects and also as per with family tradition, he had learned some of the things that made their family their name as knights. He is an adpet at more than half a dozen martial arts styles, fencing, and other swordsmanship styles.
Jacen fancies weapons and inventions of more practical devices to be used while he is in service. Though this is no surprise when one sees how his noble warrior family origin can be the cause of that. Some would say his personality is the kind that would only be described as simply a romantic.


His family, for many hundreds of years has been a constant unchanged enigma of business enterprises and royal noblity. They have been known as one of Earth's most known and richest family. Like many other notable families in the Federation, but also one of the more rarest. These are the ones that bound themselves to tradition. They are knights of old, servants of the people, they look out for the best interest of the human race.
In weapons, he's developed quite a few in his career. His prized invention is called a Force Lance. The Force Lance generally looks like a harmless metal rod approximately 1/3 of a meter in length which fires energy shots, but can extended to almost 2 meters and be used as melee weapon. The interesting thing about this is that it isn't clear whether the technology behind this energy weapon is Phaser based or [[ma:Disruptor|Disruptor]] based. When fired, it shoots out pulses of blue colored energy at its targets. Because it's a straight weapon to hold, aiming is assumed to also be automatic to where ever the user points it.  


'''==House Fanel=='''
A recent feature is Jacen can designed the Lance to only work for those with a certain DNA, like his or any other officers and the computer in the Lance will key in who used it last. If someone whose DNA isn't keyed into the lance, that person will be electrically shocked when trying to use it, most likely against the original user. It can also be used as a taser. The ends of the Lance can be charged with energy and all you have to do is stab. Jacen has apparently several of these in store, reportedly gave one to [[Zubowskivich, Tash|Tash Zubowskivich]]


To this date, House Fanel is known to almost every major power in the Alpha Quadrant. The fact that House Fanel is very mysterious, but every power including the Federation looks to them when they need...outside help. To this day, there is no exact numbers of how many who bear the name Fanel is out there in known space, but it is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands who are true born Fanels and those who were granted with the name Fanel.  
New features recently installed gives the F-Lances a grappling hook function, placed in as a stationary position to be set on auto fire, & finally it can be used as an energy grenade by setting it to over-load. Also it can turn into a flashlight. Jacen's newest features recently has given it the ability to extend sharp double edge blades and use it like a knife. Recently he has redesigned his lance to allow the ability to extend a complete sword blade.


To begin on what is House Fanel, it is originally and still primarily a human family with many extensions, and a long solid bloodline that stretches back hundreds of years, if not thousands even, carefully chronicled. They are the last and the first of their kind. A House that had absorbed every aspect of humanity into itself, or at least the notable aspects, this include major bloodlines of human history to draw relations from the pass and to increase their importance. They have survived the many centuries on Earth and beyond as a single entity. Hidden their culture under a cloak of secrecy even to this day, no one truly knows how House Fanel operates, but it is assumed that they are bounded by no laws of any nation, human or otherwise.
Jacen has a katana, specialized and custom to his liking. Supposively it's a blade that vibrates at a high frequency, making it cut a lot better. Despite having this weapon, Jacen is training in several forms of swordsmanship from fencing and other styles along with his multiple martial arts training from many forms his family possessed.


[[Image:House Fanel crest.gif|right|thumb|House Fanel coat of arms'']]
His first posting on the Victory, like any first postings was a bit shaky. He had trouble adapting to the way things are and sometimes wander from his duties. Later on, he would become an invaluable member of the crew thanks to the guidance of Cura Assanti.


== '''Gaia - Homeworld of House Fanel''' ==
When the Victory was damaged beyond repair, he was reassigned to Starbase 118, where he served under the then Captain Rocar. The station was different from a ship, but his short time there was well spent, honing his skills and learning how to be a good tactical officer.


It's location is in a system outside of Federation controlled space or any other space controlled by any of the other major powers. It was discovered hundreds of years ago when first explorers of Earth, primarily of House Fanel, took upon themselves and left Earth behind for a new beginning. They used their vast amount of wealth and power to build fleets of ships in secret and took to the stars until reaching the edge of known space or at least the edge of current Federation space. The fleet of House Fanel ships discovered a nebula. It had strange properties and no ship was able to pass by it straight. One would have to make several complicated plotted warp jumps, each time always random to match the flow of the disturbance inside. Once through, the fleet discovered paradise. A planet that isn't unlike Earth. There were strange elements on this world, but all the same, even indigenious animal life was very similiar to the kinds on Earth. Since this was before the founding of the Federation and the prime directive, House Fanel had reportedly disrupted the life of this planet. On this world, there were many small bands of humanoid, whose physical appearence and genetic make up is similiar to humans. How this is possible, no one is able to determined. There were millions of these people already living on Gaia. When the colonists of House Fanel came to this world, they claimed the entire planet for themselves. The people living on this world, amazing at the advanced technology of the colonists, accepted them right away and blended into a more modern society. Before House Fanel came, the planet was in the middle of a Renaissance period. In less than 2 generations, the entire planet was transformed into a successful colony of humanity.
When Cura Assanti was in line to be promoted to captain, Jacen was assigned to her again on a few small ships leading up to being assigned to the Indria-A. After a mission to his homeworld, Jacen was then placed as the Chief Tactical Officer, then later Second Officer and currently First Officer of the Constitution-B. Standing for his own beliefs, he has an uncanny arrogance that hasn't gone unnoticed by the crew. He wants to be everywhere and be the problem solver even though he seem ill prepared. His new position as First Officer gave him a chance to reevaluate himself and assess his goals. With Cura Assanti out of action, Jacen's mentor and someone he apparently desired, he seemed a bit lost. Nevertheless, he kept on going.


House Fanel had named this planet Gaia, name of the Greek Goddess meaning "land" or in all technicality, another name for "Earth". Since no major power would dare to risk ships to lay claim to this unstable area surrounding the Gaian system, House Fanel was able to enjoy living undisturbed from outside problems until they decided to go out of their new home system and bring back technology to advanced themselves. Though in anticipation of any of the more aggressive powers in the quadrant, House Fanel had developed their own defenses, and a star force. There is no actual accounting by any of the major powers on the strength of the Fanelian Star Force and entire military, but based on the structure on how House Fanel operates, any individual man and woman of House Fanel is fully trained and capable of fighting in the name of his or her House. That being said, the total number of fighters, defenders, and serviceman in the Gaia system can literally range from thousands to millions.
After Cura was removed from command of the Constitution, command was assigned to Sam Perkins. From here on, Jacen had stepped down from being First Officer and remained Second Officer while taking command of the Marine detachment on board.  


== '''Religion - Entil'Zha or The One Who Creates The Future''' ==
After the death of Captain Perkins, Jacen and the majority of the crew were transferred to the [[USS Ronin]] and is now the CO of the Marine detachment there.


Unlike an actual religion of many where one would believe in one God or many gods, House Fanel believes in something they all called Entil'zha, or widely spoken as simply "The One". Not an actual person in reality like a god, but more as an ideal. They believe that there is a higher power, a higher level of understanding that every race currently has no means to attain at the moment because we have not yet ready to reach such a peak of existence. Since we do not understand The One who creates the future, we simply live in it. The One isnt one particular thing, or object or person. It is all around us, shaping us, influencing us. To compare, the closest thing would be to compare this to The Force. It binds us, it is all around us and it shaped the past, it shapes the present, and it will shape the future. They respect all other religions from other races, but this is the ideal religion they believe as to have faith in. Essentially, you have faith in literally yourself because The One is within you, and you have faith in who you are, what you do, and that it creates the future. This also means you believe in the others around you because they shape the present and the create the future as well. It allows you to have a natural respect for everything and everyone in your life. That in reality there is a natural balance that must be upheld and an order of things that comes to life.
After several intense missions, including one where he lead the Ronin's fighter squadron to destroy an Orion shipyard, he was transferred to the [[USS Mercury]], where the fighter wing was reduced down to his personal craft and his Marine detachment was also reduced because of the ship class.


To this end, the Fanels have a saying:
Jacen is always constantly contemplating leaving Starfleet and going home. The ongoing civil war against his brother has not been going well and he wonders would he better serve his family be returning.


'''{{cquote|''We are House Fanel.<br />We walk in the dark places no others will enter.<br />We stand on the bridge, and no one may pass.<br />We live for the One, we die for the One.''}}'''
After searching for his brother for many months, he went AWOL during a mission to hunt his brother. Once he found the man, he killed him against the orders of his House. As punishment, his brother, the crowned prince exiled Jacen until the Duke has decided what to do with him. Despite the punishment, many people saluted Jacen's effort but because Jacen is a member of the royal family, vengeance is against their code.


But this mantra is reserve only for those who are either House Fanel born or dedicated loyalist to House Fanel. This includes the distaff cousins relations to House Fanel that doesnt bear the Fanel name, but remain loyal and within the House.
As a result of going AWOL, he was promptly demoted and dismissed from the USS Mercury.


House Fanel as influenced by the religion they believe in are all raised, but not nessessarily believe in it. One consistency is that they believe they are, as a whole, a symbol of balance. That they take a path that knows there is no true evil or good in the universe. That good and evil are grey and to live a well off life, it is best to stay in between the good and evil, to live beyond good and evil.
== Jacen's Personal Armory ==


Hence they have another saying:
[[Image:Jacen'sguns2.jpeg|none|thumb|500px|Jacen's personal type 2 phaser he takes with him on missions.]]
[[Image:Jacen's sword.jpeg|none|thumb|400px| Jacen's sword, forged in the old style of blacksmithing]]


'''I am grey.<br />I stand between the candle and the star.<br />We are grey.<br />We stand between the darkness and the light.'''
==House Fanel==
:''For more info, see [[House Fanel]].''


This saying can be modified for use in groups, and "we" is added. If only one person is reciting this to himself, he would take away the we and replace it with only I.

The same ideals as his family. He was raised with the thought and grounded on the fact that God is the universe, there are things that are beyond our understanding and shouldn't be understood, not meant to be labeled. Equality is something within all species between sentient species. Honor, live by the sword and die by it. The pure ideals Jacen live by like many of his family sometimes would be a great weakness.

Honorable. Incredibly loyal to a fault. To both his family, and to what his duties are to Starfleet. Conflicted ideals. Perhaps Hero complex. Contradictions with personal beliefs and his sworn duties.


Relationships

Right before Jacen entered Starfleet academy, he was put into an arranged marriage with a childhood friend he hadn't seen for years, Himeyu Ayame. There was no doubt that she was a beautiful, intelligence woman, but Jacen didn't have a choice in the matter. If it wasn't an arranged marriage, he sometimes questions if he would have married her. Nevertheless, he is completely devoted to his wife, love her passionately and does his duties to her.

On the other hand, the engagement to his wife had lasted for a few years into his academy days and all the way into his first assignment on the Victory. He had forgetting all about it until Himeyu had visited him. At the time and still even today, Jacen had harbored a desired for Cura, his mentor who helped him adjust to life in Starfleet. At first, it he wanted it to be a different kind of love, a pure love beyond desire, but it turned out to be harder to maintain that kind of love. He eventually felt this great attraction to her even as she rises to a Captain rank. She was aware of his feelings, and even he would not break his vows with his wife to cross a line that shouldn't meant to be cross. The two had talked about it and it was the end of that. Jacen had swear he can no longer let his feelings run wild. He said he loved his wife, but he never actually fell in love with her, but will be loyal because that was the path he decided for himself.

Personality and Personal History

If someone were to describe him I believe they would call him loyal. He always stay true to whatever path he takes and is willing to go through all the hardships that lay before him. He always had chosen that hard road of life because half the time it is not the choosing of the path but the acceptance of it. He wanted to make a difference, but was always left out. He tries hard and when he finally achieve one goal he has a million more to do. So he lives on from day to day, living the way he wants to be.

He comes from a long line of military men and women all the way back to ancient times of swordsman throughout the world from knights of England to the Samurai of Japan, carrying the family sword to prove his true loyalty is to his family and their code of honor.

He hides his problems under a thick coat of pride, achievement, and self righteousness. Everything he does, from the moment he wakes up he lives for the perfection. That is the discipline taught unto him as with all members of his family. Clear cut devotion and loyalty to the House, and the will and determination in any purpose.

Jacen is sometimes too determined. He can be ill-tempered when he hears something he doesn't like. Half the time, he tries to impose his belief on others and then rushes off to try to prove something. In this regard, he had imposed a self exile from his family. He wanted to be away from the traditions of his House. In his entire life, he has only been to his homeworld twice so far.

Competent is one thing compared to respectability. He will obey a direct order from above, but he doesn't have to like who gives the order. Though he also has a dislike for disloyalty even if it for the "right" reasons. He can agree to some smuggling operations, but take them down if they are doing it to help criminals or transporting something deadly. There are many things, Jacen would consider a problem, though some things he would allow as a necessary evil on the universe. He like most his House believes that without evil in the universe, how can good be defined?

His immediate family comprises of his father, Zeon and his mother, Leronica. He also has a number of siblings including 3 brothers, Casval, a twin Dante, and younger brother, David. Also 2 sisters, Artesia and a younger one, Akira. He rarely sees any of them except for social events that calls him an his family back to the homeworld. It is Fanel policy to encourage the young when the time comes, for them to reach out into space, explore, enrich and bring back those enrichment to add to their collective. This also leads to many of the Fanels advances in technology.

Jacen had an arranged marriage to a childhood friend that had been long held off. It was easier for him to accept it because he was marrying someone he knows. The love would grow after the marriage even more. Many of Jacen's family wed through arrange marriages, most of them good matches with pairs accepting one another well without any problems later. One can challenge the arrange marriage if they have someone else they are willing for fight for, but since Jacen never had an outside love to develop that he would refuse his arrange marriage, nothing ever happened. Jacen accepted the marriage and loves his wife, Himeyu.

Jacen fancies weapons and inventions of more practical devices to be used while he is in service. Though this is no surprise when one sees how his noble warrior family origin can be the cause of that. Some would say his personality is the kind that would only be described as simply a romantic.

In weapons, he's developed quite a few in his career. His prized invention is called a Force Lance. The Force Lance generally looks like a harmless metal rod approximately 1/3 of a meter in length which fires energy shots, but can extended to almost 2 meters and be used as melee weapon. The interesting thing about this is that it isn't clear whether the technology behind this energy weapon is Phaser based or Disruptor based. When fired, it shoots out pulses of blue colored energy at its targets. Because it's a straight weapon to hold, aiming is assumed to also be automatic to where ever the user points it.

A recent feature is Jacen can designed the Lance to only work for those with a certain DNA, like his or any other officers and the computer in the Lance will key in who used it last. If someone whose DNA isn't keyed into the lance, that person will be electrically shocked when trying to use it, most likely against the original user. It can also be used as a taser. The ends of the Lance can be charged with energy and all you have to do is stab. Jacen has apparently several of these in store, reportedly gave one to Tash Zubowskivich

New features recently installed gives the F-Lances a grappling hook function, placed in as a stationary position to be set on auto fire, & finally it can be used as an energy grenade by setting it to over-load. Also it can turn into a flashlight. Jacen's newest features recently has given it the ability to extend sharp double edge blades and use it like a knife. Recently he has redesigned his lance to allow the ability to extend a complete sword blade.

Jacen has a katana, specialized and custom to his liking. Supposively it's a blade that vibrates at a high frequency, making it cut a lot better. Despite having this weapon, Jacen is training in several forms of swordsmanship from fencing and other styles along with his multiple martial arts training from many forms his family possessed.

His first posting on the Victory, like any first postings was a bit shaky. He had trouble adapting to the way things are and sometimes wander from his duties. Later on, he would become an invaluable member of the crew thanks to the guidance of Cura Assanti.

When the Victory was damaged beyond repair, he was reassigned to Starbase 118, where he served under the then Captain Rocar. The station was different from a ship, but his short time there was well spent, honing his skills and learning how to be a good tactical officer.

When Cura Assanti was in line to be promoted to captain, Jacen was assigned to her again on a few small ships leading up to being assigned to the Indria-A. After a mission to his homeworld, Jacen was then placed as the Chief Tactical Officer, then later Second Officer and currently First Officer of the Constitution-B. Standing for his own beliefs, he has an uncanny arrogance that hasn't gone unnoticed by the crew. He wants to be everywhere and be the problem solver even though he seem ill prepared. His new position as First Officer gave him a chance to reevaluate himself and assess his goals. With Cura Assanti out of action, Jacen's mentor and someone he apparently desired, he seemed a bit lost. Nevertheless, he kept on going.

After Cura was removed from command of the Constitution, command was assigned to Sam Perkins. From here on, Jacen had stepped down from being First Officer and remained Second Officer while taking command of the Marine detachment on board.

After the death of Captain Perkins, Jacen and the majority of the crew were transferred to the USS Ronin and is now the CO of the Marine detachment there.

After several intense missions, including one where he lead the Ronin's fighter squadron to destroy an Orion shipyard, he was transferred to the USS Mercury, where the fighter wing was reduced down to his personal craft and his Marine detachment was also reduced because of the ship class.

Jacen is always constantly contemplating leaving Starfleet and going home. The ongoing civil war against his brother has not been going well and he wonders would he better serve his family be returning.

After searching for his brother for many months, he went AWOL during a mission to hunt his brother. Once he found the man, he killed him against the orders of his House. As punishment, his brother, the crowned prince exiled Jacen until the Duke has decided what to do with him. Despite the punishment, many people saluted Jacen's effort but because Jacen is a member of the royal family, vengeance is against their code.

As a result of going AWOL, he was promptly demoted and dismissed from the USS Mercury.
