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.
Like all Fanels, Jacen baptized in the fires of combat. He was raised to have the ability to fight. Like his entire family, he is a Knight, servant of the people, looking out for the best interest of the House and balance of power.
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.
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. When he served aboard the USS Victory , he had tried to invent his own rendition of a Lightsaber with some success. The weapon he designed was based on Phaser and Force Field technology. He had intended to use it as a stunning tool. The forcefield created in a tube like shape extends into a baton length and the field it generates is powerful enough when it strikes an organic mass, it shocks it, stuns it. The setting can be fine tune to whatever you are dealing with and length can be changed. The other setting was intended to be a cutting tool. The force field keeps the charged phaser beam inside and as the charge increases, it burns hot and anything it touches will burn. Jacen had tested this and it can burn right through the standard hull type of Federation ships very well. In the end, Jacen had dubbed this invention of his, the Phase Baton, but after his transfer from the Victory, it was never seen again.
The next invention he invented is later more practically sound for him since he said it "Makes sense". He called it 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 fire, 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 Lieutenant Commander 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.
House Fanel
- For more info, see House Fanel.
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.
-House Fanel, the name Fanel, and the planet Gaia is loosely based on the Japanese Anime Escaflowne
Gaia - Homeworld of House Fanel
- See also Gaia.
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 indigenous animal life was very similar 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 appearance and genetic make up is similar 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.

Little is known about the fleet size of House Fanel. It is rumored to be disturbing match to any single power in the Alpha Quadrant. Hundreds of ships even within the system.
Religion - Entil'Zha or The One Who Creates The Future
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 isn't 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.
To this end, the Fanels have a saying:
We are Fanel Warriors.
We tread in the darkness no others will enter.
We do not break away from combat.
We stand on the bridges, and no one may pass us.
We do not retreat, we do not faulter.
We fight in the name of honor.
We live for the One, we die for the One.
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 doesn't bear the Fanel name, but remain loyal and within the House.
House Fanel as influenced by the religion they believe in are all raised, but not necessarily 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.
Hence they have another saying:
I am grey.
I stand between the candle and the star.
We are grey.
We stand between the darkness and the light.
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.
