Personality

Pastimes & Hobbies

Sports

Ian Rock Climbing on Durouis II

Ian enjoys all forms of Skiing; particularly on the slopes of Talvet III, Ice Planet. This was a hobby that Ian practiced a lot when he was at school at Harvard.

Ian has long been an avid rock climber. Even as a teenager when he got in to trouble for climbing a forbidden mountain on Mars housing a Starfleet Secret Lab. Over the years he has continued to climb on away missions and for fun. Ian was once taken to an American Football match in the holodeck where he played as a Quarter Back in a club match. At the Academy Ian was known to play racket ball, however, he has not played in recent years due to not having someone to play against. Ian sometimes practices boxing and hand-to-hand combat but only for the workout. More regularly, however, he can be found working out in the gym between 16 hundred and 18 hundred hours every weekday; and can be found Rock Climbing on the holodeck every Saturday morning. When he meets up with his best friend Chris Janson.

Musical Interests

Ian is a brilliant concert pianist. He also interprets old folk songs from around the Federation on an acoustic folk Guitar, something he started during his days as a student at Oxford.

Cooking, Food & Gardening

One of Ian's main hobbies is Cooking. His speciality being Chocolate devils with 17 different varieties of Chocolate which he makes from his maternal grandmother's family recipe. Ian has had a corner of his personal quarters converted into a kitchen area with special utensils. Most evenings. Ian tends to avoid using the replicator: Instead, when he was stationed on Starbase 118 for a in the field training as a cadet he used to enjoy a trip to the Starbase’s promenade where he liked to purchase genuine fresh food ingredients from the many alien traders. To Ian this was one of the principal advantages to being assigned to a Starbase over a starship although when on a Starship he enjoyed collecting unique ingredients from the planets they visit.

Early Life

Ian Grew up in London England, the son of a warp core systems architect and a teacher. His father Lane West was away a lot working on new projects with Starfleet. So he was very close to his mother Liza West, an Earth history teacher.

Ian had excelled early in science and math; his father started grooming him for Starfleet at an early age. By taking him to work with him and teaching him about a warp core and subspace waves that the core creates. Ian enjoyed the time with his father but found the details of a warp core to almost bore him to tears. But the cause and effect of the subspace waves and rifts made by warp was thrilling, at warp one the trail can be found for a few light-years but at warp 9 the waves can cause damage.

Teen to Young Adult Life

Ian went to Canterbury Prep School and got in a Science fast track program for Advance Sciences. Allowing him to attend Oxford two years early, majoring in Astrophysics with a minor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

After leaving Oxford Ian attended Harvard for his Doctorate in Applied Science, Doctor of Applied Science (D.A.S.) earned him an express entry into Star Fleet as a Warrant Officer of the Science Division and placement on a deep space research station.

Deep Space 31 Science Research Station

While on the station Ian was a Department Co-Lead for Advanced Weapons and Development with Lt. Adam Cain a Tactical Officer. Working on proto phaser banks using charged static from the ship’s hull to power the phaser banks and not the warp core or batteries.

The Project suffered a great many set backs. The program was about to be mothballed a few days before the first successful test firing from a unmanned platform.

The platform was studied for another month and the systems then were outfitted on a runabout with a full crew that engaged 290 probes in a war games testing exercise.

Star Fleet Academy

After a year of work on the station Ian returned to Earth to start Star Fleet Academy. In Ian's first year Admiral Thomas Range became Ian's mentor for the rest of his stay at the Academy. Taking an Advanced Science Degree, he was required to take 32 plus extra credit hours at the Academy to achieve the Advanced Science Track Commission.

Maintaining strong grades in all the Science and Medical Classes, Ian lagged a little behind in some of the Tactics classes because he would often butt heads with his instructors. Ian was the Class leader for Science Department Competing with Cadet Alex Johnson to stay ranked number one. But Alex pulled ahead in the Battle classes, the son of Vice Admiral Peter Johnson, Commander Task Force 75.

Ian graduated as the Science Departments Salutatorian. Though his GPA ranked him for the honors Cum Laude, because of his harder work load than any other student currently at the Academy the Board of Regents and trusty's along with the Academy Admiralty debated giving Ian the rare honors of Maxima Cum Laude. But they felt that would over shadow the Valedictorian's honors of Summa Cum Laude, instead Ian was Honored with Magna Cum Laude and was given the Academy's Touch of Vigilance.

Relationships

	Tylon Jaxx, Federation Council (Betazed)
	Father
Jaxx was always closer to his father than he was his mother. He felt that his father understood him and his ambitions more than his mother. While he had faith that his mother loved him and only wanted what was best for him, he followed in his father's footsteps. Tylon Jaxx served in the High Office of Defense in the years after the Dominion War, and ushered in upgrades that would protect the planet if anyone tried to invade again. When he was finished serving his terms in office, he ran to represent Betazed on the Federation Council, where he as served since. Jaxx often talks to his father, using him to check in on his mother as they hardly talk.

	Bjenta Jaxx, Lady of the 8th House of Betazed
	Mother
Bjenta is a typical woman of the 8th House of Betazed. She spends her days at social gatherings and includes herself in the hierarchy of Betazoid culture. As a member of a House of Betzed, she serves in a political capacity on the planet, focusing on mundane legislation. She had tried her whole life to get her boys interested in the house affairs, as she hoped one day one of them would assume control. Her constant pushing and questioning has led to a strained relationship with her eldest son, Andrus.

	Colonel Leton Jaxx, Betazed Defense Force
	Brother
The youngest child of the Jaxx family, Leton remained on Betazed to be close to his mother, but joined the Defense Force under his father while he was in the High Office of Defense. He had his brother Andrus have a good relationship and talk when they get the chance. Over recent years he has begun to learn the duties of leading the 8th House from his mother. Knowing his brother would never rise to lead the house, he felt obligated to do so.

	Kali Nicholotti
	Former XO and Best Friend
Jaxx met Kali when she was a green 2nd Lieutenant assigned to the USS Resolution. Even though he hated Marines, he saw something different in her. On an away mission to a hostile environment, she saved his life. The cost was an artificial heart. Since then, he had always looked out for her, treating her as if she was his little sister. She went on to serve as his XO on the USS Victory and StarBase 118. At times, he feels as if the godmother to his twins is the closest family he has.

	Talon Lee
	Former Romantic Interest
After being assigned to the USS Challenger, Jaxx began dating Talon. It was not long before they were engaged, but would soon drift apart. They were very different people and it soon began to show. He found her to be irrational and jumped to conclusions. It was not too long before they separated badly. Talon went on to marry Miles Unum, who Jaxx had suspected had eyes for her while they were dating.

	Adri Morgan
	Former Romantic Interest & Friend
Soon after the split with Talon, Jaxx began dating fellow Betazoid, Adri. At the time, he felt he could relate and understand Betazoids much better than other species. They had an intense relationship, as most Betazoids did. While he was deeply in love with the woman, something held him back and they soon stopped seeing each other. Over the years they had remained friends and she eventually transferred to his command on the Apollo.

	Tressa
	Former Romantic Interest
Jaxx took some time off from dating, but when he was ready to jump back in, he started seeing Tressa. The young Gideon was assigned as a Science Officer on the Victory. It was not long until their relationship blossomed. Eventually, Tressa became pregnant with twins. After they were born, things started fading once more between the two of them. Tressa wanted to transfer to a starbase where she could work on research. Thinking it was the best place for the kids, he allowed her to take them with her. On what was supposed to be a routine survey mission, the small craft they were on was destroyed. No sign of Tressa or the children has been found since.

	Sidney Pierce
	Former Romantic Interest
It took some time for Jaxx to want to date again, and started a brief romantic fling with Sidney. This developed slowly and did not last very long. They put their relationship behind them as she was recalled to Earth. They never got a chance to really get that close, as Jaxx was still closed off from the loss of Tressa and the children. But their short time together showed him that he was still able to feel something. They remain friends.

	Sundassa Faranster
	Current Romantic Interest
While on shore leave on the planet Izar, Jaxx invited himself to go cliff diving with some of the junior officers. Soon, it was just Jaxx and Sun. They had a great afternoon together, which prompted him to ask her out for the evening. Before they could go on their first date, Jaxx and the command staff were taken hostage in the hotel restaurant, leaving Sun on the outside to handle the negotiations.

MISSION HISTORY:

Missions on USS Mercury

• SD 238908: New Alliances

Following the conclusion of their mission to explore and stabilize the derelict station, the Mercury stayed on station for the arrival of SCE reps and equipment for the revitalization of the station, and her crew was the first to hear of Starfleet’s intent to make it a deep space station. The crew enjoyed a short leave before being recalled prematurely when Commander Kells received unusual orders to head to Cardassia Prime to retrieve Prianna, a member of the Detapa Council, and her staff, and then to ferry them to Romulan space to give aid to those colonies that had been attacked by Klingons. The crew went above and beyond in preparing for the councilor’s arrival and, once she was aboard, kept her and her staff comfortable and entertained during the trip to Betazed to rendezvous with the USS Apollo.
