Jaxx was born and raised in Medara, Betazed the capitol. Medara is located on the largest of the planets continents. The ruling council holds its sessions in the city, where each of the great houses of Betazed maintain a residence in order that they can be present for the sessions of the council. Most of these residences border the vast Plaza of Contemplation, which rests in the center of the city and serves of the focus for the spiritual lives of the citizens. There are several smaller temples and spiritual sites, however, for all large celebrations and holy days, the great plaza is used. Medara is a vast and very spread out city; it sprawls over and becomes intertwined with the local landscape. Vast gardens displace the houses, and the radiative nature of the way the city was built allows a simple split up of the various districts, with the inner religious and governmental quarters giving way to the business and commercial areas of the city before moving out into the sprawled residential areas. Being a religious city, there are numerous temples and places of religious significance within all areas of the city. The Betazed people are careful to maintain their sacred sites, and often the ruling members of the houses share religious duties as part of their daily routine. Jaxx's father, brother, and himself were all born into the 8th House of Betazed, The House of Intuition. In absence of his grandmother, Tylon, his father was on the ruling counsel and held the position, High Office of Defense. Soon he father was chosen to represent Betazed on the Federation Council. His mother, Bjenta, took over duties on the ruling council to represent the 8th House. Brought up, Jaxx was always taught the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. His father expected him and his brother to serve in the Betazed Defense Force. He wanted them to serve a great life, to protect all Betazoids. Jaxx finished secondary school, graduated and went to The University of Betazed, where he obtained a degree in psychological studies. When he returned, his father demanded he join the force, he refused, and settled on a different path. After a year and a half of additional studies, he had been accepted to Starfleet Academy. When his father finally calmed down and asked why? Jaxx simply said “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Jaxx believed that all planets in the federation need protected, a hard lesson he learned from Saara.
Personal Notes
Interests and Hobbies
Andrus enjoys working out, and staying fit. As part of his daily work-out, he can be found in the holodeck taking part in some physical activity. Many of his exercise routines involve sports of some type. He enjoys racquetball, fencing, and skiing. When not engaged in sporting activities in his work-out, he also can be found running along a beach, or sparring with multiple foes. He is one of few Betazoids that have become prominent with the Bat'leth.
On occasion, he can be found meditating. He finds it peaceful, and it allows him to clear his mind. Another of his hobbies is music. He is a fan of Human, Betazoid, and Bajoran Classical composers. He also likes to listen to Klingon Opera, but only in private, as most people cannot stand it.
Personality
Jaxx carries himself in a cocky manner. He does not need anyone's approval, so he rarely does anything to please another person. He works and lives based on his own set of ideals and principals. He follows orders to perfection, but is not afraid to question them in private. He is often found taking the opposing side in a debate with a CO, only to give the other side a voice, even if he is in agreement with the CO.
Andrus is highly empathic but does not consider others feelings before speaking. At times he can be viewed as insulting, when in essence he is being brutally honest. He has never found a use for lying, nor is he good at it. His sense of humor is great, he can often be found throwing in jokes at the worse possible times. He is able to mix in his humor, because he usually keeps a level head and rarely panics. He is known for never cracking under pressure.
Andrus likes getting to know the officers he serves with. Often, he can be found socializing with them. He has an ability to size up new officers and know if he will like them or not. Very few officers are on his bad side, but the ones who are know to stay out of his way.
Likes and Dislikes
Andrus likes trying new things. He is often trying new dishes listed in the replicators database. He loves home cooked meals, but stays out of the kitchen. Cooking was not something he was ever good at.
He can be found socializing with the crew in his down time. It isn't odd for him to just stop by a department to chit chat with the officers within it. Part of his charm is that he looks at crewmen with the same eyes. He is not above rolling up his sleeves and working with the lower ranked members of the crew. At times officers are confused as to why he would spend time scrubbing plasma coils, or working with the torpedo launchers. It is this fact that many of the crew look at him as a great officer. He keeps his head from getting bigger, no matter what position he holds.
Jaxx enjoys keeping in shape, running and a good cardio workout are usually how he starts his day. He loves all types of music but his favorite, is early Earth Classical. Jaxx is one of few Betazoids that can use a Bat'leth. He does not enjoy social gatherings as most Betazoids do. He finds his Betazoid Nobility more of a pain than anything, which was a part of the reason he joined StarFleet.
Part of his dislikes have defined who he is as a person. He hates dishonesty and does not like being kept out of the loop on ship related matters. He prides himself on knowing what he known to others while on duty. He tends to get very angry if he finds something has been kept from him.
Amongst his other dislikes, are the Marines. He feels they have a place and a purpose, and it is not on a starship. He has no problem deferring to their expertise on the ground, but on a starship he feels they should be seen and not heard. He lumps them all into the same group, as stubborn neanderthals that rely on their weapons instead of their minds. There have only been a couple Marines that he has allowed himself to see as individuals.

Educational History
Primary School
Andrus began school at the age of four. Tylon and Bjenta enrolled him in the elite, Medara Academy. The school was specialized in educating gifted children. From an early age, Andrus was able to use his telepathic abilities. Most children born with their abilities in tact, often went insane because they were unable to turn off their perception. Andrus had the ability to control his telepathy just after the age of two. It was hypothesized that because he had the ability at a young age, that it aided him to learn at a faster rate. He finished Primary School early, excelling in many subjects.
Secondary School
At the age of nine, Andrus began secondary school at the Scholastic Institute of Medara. Andrus was above the curve on many subjects, and behind on a couple. He never had the aptitude to excel in the sciences. Due to his scores in the sciences, he fell from the top of his class to eighth. Shortly before his last year ended, he was accepted into the University of Betazed.
University of Betazed
The university's primary focus was psychology, species from many worlds in the Federation applied to study there. Following in suit he majored in psychology, with a minor focus in military tactics. His original goal was to serve Betazed in the Defense Force as his father did. During the invasion of Betazed Andrus' betrothed, Saara, was killed. Her plans were to join StarFleet to serve a higher calling, an idea Andrus felt was flawed. School ceased for a short period of time, but started during the occupation of Betazed. Andrus kept his head in the books and held onto his anger. Andrus soon graduated at the age of nineteen with a doctorate in psychology.
CLASSIFED
Upon completion of studies at the University of Betazed, Andrus began.....>>CLASSIFED<<
StarFleet Academy
To honor the memory of Saara, he applied to StarFleet Academy. When he received word that he had been accepted he decided that, as misplaced as he felt her ideals were, he had to join to honor her memory. With a degree under his belt in psychology, and a minor in Military Tacts, he chose to major in Tactical. As the studies became easier he decided to take on a minor in Helm/Comm/Ops. He spent four years at the Academy in basic classes, and an additional two years in Command School. Upon graduation, he was offered many positions on Earth, and on a few stations. He bypassed each assignment until he found a deep space assignment. He accepted the position as Counselor aboard the U.S.S. Challenger.
Throughout his career he had been called upon to return to StarFleet Academy to instruct. He had taken the opportunity to teach as well as attend additional classes in Intelligence. StarFleet Command trusts his judgment during tactical planning sessions. He was recalled twice to assist in planning "special" projects.
