<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Harry Kim's info above and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, and Green. Remember those colors as we'll be using them for the section headers in the rest of this bio.

Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9 or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each. There is also an extra STO pip set, but it works best in the table rather than in the sidebar.

For date of birth, add a leading zero for single digit months and dates. The sidebar will automatically calculate your character's age as well.

If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field.

Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.

If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. You can use the "EXTRA" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.

You can also display your OOC writer ID number in your character's sidebar if you want by adding AUTHOR= to the list of variables. If you leave it blank, this field will disappear.

Once you're done, we'll move onto the introductory sentence/paragraph for your character below!-->

'''Ensign Jarred Thoran''' is currently serving as a '''Security/Tactical officer''' aboard the {{USS|Blackwell}}. (A table of contents will be automatically generated below this line - you won't see it in the edit window but it'll be right there once you save the page!)

In the coding above, delete two of the headings so that only one remains. You can then type here as if you were writing on notepad to drop in some information about your character. If you want to use bullets, copy and paste the star above. You can also look on the forums and the wiki for tutorials on how to use more adventurous coding. Want to include sections for Background, Personality AND Career History? Just copy the code for the title bar above, then paste it in type in the title you want - you can add extra sections in too!

{{Heading|Background|Gold}}

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.

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.

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.

:''To end your bio, we're going to drop in some code here for your ship's crew template, which should appear at the bottom of your bio and will help members of the fleet easily browse other bios of your shipmates. Change the name of the ship below to whatever the name of your character's ship is, unless of course you've been assigned to the USS Gemini! Don't forget the letter suffix for your ship if yours has one (such as the USS Darwin-A).''
