Background
Most children on Alpha Centauri III are born at the Lady of Significant Mercy Hospital in New Samarkand and Jarred Thoran was no different. The son of Walter and Bethany and younger brother to Oscar, Jarred had a relatively unremarkable early life. A few months after Jarred was born, one of his mother’s friends gave birth to a boy, Will, who over time would become Jarred’s closest friend. A few years later, Jarred became an older brother, his mother had given birth to a girl, Fern.
As Jarred’s parents were both professionals, this meant Jarred and Fern spent a lot of their early life being looked after by Will’s mother, leading the three to become very close friends, almost inseparable.
Jarred’s father was history professor at the local university, meaning the Thoran household was filled with books, as well as artefacts and antiques. When not out causing mischief with his friends, Jarred would sneak into his father’s study and spend hours looking at all the fascinating objects from bygone eras. Often Oscar would catch him, and depending on what mood he was in, either regale tales of the objects histories, or try to get Jarred in trouble with his father.
Thankfully Jarred’s father was not one to chastise the children, but would instead indulge Jarred, giving him the real tale behind the objects. There was one item in particular that Jarred was captivated by, a hand crafted model of HMS Victory, a sailing vessel from Earth’s history. It was this object that started Jarred’s love of military history and warfare, particularly old Earth naval history. Once a month his father would take Jarred and his brother to a holosuite where they would take it in turns to recreate historical scenes, with Jarred always choosing to play out scenes from great historical battles, almost exclusively from the massive sailing ships of 18th and 19th century Earth.
These experiences, along with his father’s guidance meant Jarred excelled at history at school, always earning top marks for any history related project.
At the age of seven, Jarred and Will were enrolled in a kickboxing class at a local gymnasium. Whilst the two may have been the closest of friends outside of the class, when they sparred together most would have thought they were bitter enemies, never giving an inch. They rose through the ranks together, until they were eventually awarded their black belts. This was one of Jarred’s greatest and proudest moments.
During his teen years, Fern admitted to Jarred that she had feelings for Will, but did not know what to do. Jarred couldn’t help but smile, for a few days before, Will had told him the same thing. The two eventually started seeing each other.
Jarred only had one problem in his life, his older brother Oscar. It wasn’t that Jarred disliked him, it was just everything Jarred did, his brother did better. They both loved history, but Oscar seemed to excel it, as if he had a special gift. This was especially noticeable when it came to their father. Whilst his father had always encouraged Jarred’s love of history, he had taken it to another level with his brother. Oscar was almost inseparable from their father, which did cause feelings of jealousy from Jarred, feelings which he hated.
When it came time to choose subjects for college, Jarred didn’t have to think very hard about what to study. He was top for History, consistently gaining top marks, and even helping tutor others from his class. During his final year, Jarred entered a system wide project, to write an essay on what the student perceived to be the most important historical event in the systems history. Jarred poured his heart and soul into the essay, spending many hours writing and re-writing. Despite all the hard work, Jarred came second; however his essay had caught the attention of University of Alpha Centauri’s Dean, who invited Jarred for an interview. During the interview, the Dean quizzed Jarred over his knowledge of history and was so impressed with him, he offered him a scholarship to study with them.
Jarred had never been more proud in his life, not even gaining his black belt had made him this proud. Whilst Jarred’s parents had been pleased with his scholarship, he did not receive the same praise and acknowledgement that his brother had, when he received his.
It was this experience that Jarred decided to do something different with his life. He had always had a fascination with military history, as well as naval warfare. After rejecting the scholarship, Jarred decided he would join Starfleet. At first his parents were shocked, and his mother upset, but after talking it through with them, including a visit from a Recruitment Officer, Jarred’s parents came around to the idea and fully supported his decision.
