"By way of deception thou shalt do war." - Ethari proverb
Ensign Chevalier is currently serving as Operations Officer aboard the USS Artemis-A.
Appearance
- Height: 192cm (6' 3”)
- Hair: White
- Eyes: Blue & White
- Build: Athletic/Slender
Personality
Jaseb is a little measured when dealing with other people. He expects the worst from others, rarely shows his true self hidden behind the wall he built between himself and the surrounding world.
But, if you crack the wall, and then peel the onion, you can find a sweet, attentive, and sensitive boy, a direct opposite to cold, efficient, result focused men who present himself so.
Quarters
Jaseb's quarters are located on Deck 5, Sector 07, Compartment 12. The quarters are shared, although the second berth happens to be empty.
As of yet, he keeps his half quite spartan. He has a couple REAL PAPER books on the shelf, a holographic altar of some kind and his Starfleet Academy diploma on the wall. He often listens to Bayran music in the privacy of his quarters.
Background
Jaseb was born on the non-Federation Human diaspora colony on the border of Tholian and Makus Sector, as a third child to the family of public servants. He had a happy childhood, but as he grew up, he started to realize what it means to be born as a third. His planet is a bare, resourceless place, and a population of the colony is heavily controlled to curb the colony population growth. Jaseb was destined to become a pilgrim - the one who is expected to leave. When he finished his primary education, his future was already written. He, altogether with other "third", was taken out of his family, and educated (someone would say conditioned) by their transhumanistic church - Sanctum Transpoli - about the "life outside".
At the age of 17 he was expected to leave, and he left. He spent the next two years among the stars, while trying to find his meaning in life. There he firstly came across something he hadn't seen before. Misunderstanding of his religion, condemnation for his looks, slanders and insults whispered behind his back. Even though he was third, he was never bullied nor offended by others before. Firstly, he was terrified and lost, but he hardened to the outside world quickly enough. He survived and decided on the only one career that made sense to him - and applied to the Starfleet Academy.
In 2400 he graduated Starfleet Academy with a major in Intelligence – with focus on data analysis and extraction - and a second major in Engineering - Cybernetics.
After graduation, he was assigned to the USS Artemis-A as one of its operations officers as his first official posting.
Service History
The mission was mostly played with alternate characters. See mission log - Both Sides Now (Artemis) - for details.
After he completed Starfleet Academy final examination, Ensign Chevalier was transferred to the Luna class explorer USS Artemis-A in 240009. He first boarded the ship shortly after the Artemis was ordered to a deep-level sensor sweeps research mission across the Borderlands and quickly he got thrown into work to make the sensors running around the clock.[1] This being his first mission as the officer of the Starfleet, Jaseb wanted to make a good impression and was too eager to make an impression and came with harsh, but logic solution to the problem.[2]
As weeks onboard were coming and going, Jaseb got around the clock with the peaceful, calm life onboard. But that changed quickly when the ship's mission changed dramatically, as a group of unknown ships crossed over from another universe. First – CIC Desdemona – hailed Artemis asking for assistance, second fired (ineffectually) on the Artemis. The Artemis was then forced to respond to the hostile action, destroying the ship.
Jaseb is transferred from Bridge to the OPS Center at Deck 5, and serves the graveyard shift, processing the shipwide operation requests and energy logistics. He used his newfound freedom for investigation into his Desdemona's counterpart, Unit-J, and wrote a technical memo to SFI about his counterpart abilities, trying to impress the ship's Chief Intelligence Officer, Lt. Cmdr Talos Dakora. [3]
It was a couple days later at the OPS Center, where gruppie met his hero, when LTCDR Talos Dakora visited Jaseb to get information about movements of the Desdemona crew and Unit-Jduring Desdemona's attempt to take over the ship. Jaseb was able to pinpoint his counterpart's approximate location and gave the information to the commander. [4] When the commander left the OPS Center, Jaseb tried to disable Unit-J, his counterpart, but failed. With help of his boyfriend - PO3 Damien Black, SFI Computer Specialist - he found his backdoor changes he made to his other mainframe program, were deleted and he's not able to stop his counterpart killing spree over the Artemis. [5] and decided to confront his counterpart personally.
With help of Ens Kawarda - whom Jaseb recruited during his pursuit of Unit-J - Jaseb reached deck 15, just to find his counterpart is already dead. Altogether with Ens Kawarda engaged directly into the stalemate between Col MacKenzie (who impersonates the captain of Artemis, Capt Addison MacKenzie) and LtCdr Talos Dakora. After short tactical negotiation he shot Col MacKenzie multiple times, which shocked the Artemis officers due the lack of necessity for his “overzealous” behavior. LtCmd Talos Dakora reprimanded Jaseb and put him on the bench directly in place, which slapped Jaseb out of his adrenaline rush. [6] He is kept to secure the tertiary command processors on deck 15, left to his sorrow and shame...
The Artemis spent the shoreleave near Betazed.
Relationships
Family | ||
|
Timothee Father |
Jaseb's relationship with his father could be described as strained at best. His father is a man of few words and many expectations, but as Jaseb was a third child, there was little to none for him. |
|
|
Ana Mother |
Jaseb's mother always loved him, and helped him to grow into a man he's today. In contrast to his father, Mother never saw him as a burden that third children are considered to be. |
|
|
Thomas Oldest brother |
Thomas, as a first child in the family, was always the one on the pedestal, Jaseb as third, overlooked and ignored. Thomas path was to become Thanata, as their father was, Jacob's path was to become a pilgrim. Their social status divided them more than nine years of age difference. They never grew up to be close to each other. |
|
|
Damien Older brother |
Damien was always close to Jacob's heart. They both were free children, unbound by family obligations and traditions. They could always be what they wanted to be. And they both always enjoyed it to the fullest. |
The Commander he worships | ||
 |
Talos Dakora Father figure to Jaseb |
Jaseb worshiped Commander Dakora even before he was assigned aboard the USS Artemis. When that happened - to his displeasure as a member of OPS, and not as an intelligence analyst - he finally had a chance to meet his hero in person and he's trying to impress him enough ever since to accept him into his department. Some would say that she is too hard-working, too fixated, too...stubborn in this. But Jaseb knows what he wants and goes after his own. Dakora: ...if I ever see that again you’ll be riding back from whence you came in the brig. Understood? Chevalier: ::trying to find his voice:: Sir... aye, sir.[7] |

Vitor Silveira Brought together through tragedy |
During their first shared mission on Artemis, Silveira had a brief romance with Jovenan's alternate universe counterpart until her death. Dealing with it brought the two closer together, as Jaseb helped him to find a little piece of reconciliation... Silveira: I really can't thank you enough. And please call me Vitor or Sil, after all we are on down time... Chevalier: Jaseb, nice to meet you, Sil... [8] |
