<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|Relationships|200|COLOR=DarkGoldenrod}}</h3>


Jona spent his youth on Andoria but developed a taste for Terran cuisine and culture despite his traditionalist parents' objections. When he applied to Starfleet it was against the wishes of all four of his parents. This has led to a somewhat strained relationship with them because of their ongoing disapproval. Jona displays a natural ability at piloting and served for a year aboard an Andorian dilithium freighter to gain experience before attending the Academy. His hobbies include playing three-dimensional chess and reading Andorian and Terran historical novels. He is eager to learn and gain life experiences. He can be somewhat clumsy when nervous but covers with humor even in serious situations. Jona is fluent in Graalen (Andorian), Federation Standard and Klingon and has intermediate ability in Bolian.

|'''Vexa zh'Lev'''
[[Image:Vexa-zhLev.jpg|100px|left|]]
Upon the Columbia's first visit to the newly established Dehner Base on Delta Vega I, Jona fell head over heels for one of the scientists stationed there. Vexa is a young Andorian woman that does specialized research in energy fields. She and Jona corresponded for several months over subspace while the Columbia explored the region. Vexa labeled herself as Jona's girlfriend and accompanied him on a trip back to Andoria for a family visit. They tried to make a long-distance relationship work after his transfer to the Gorkon on Stardate 239611 but they drifted apart until she ended the romance a few months later.

|'''Pholin Duyzer'''
[[Image:Pholin-Duyzer.jpg|100px|left|]]
The Denobulan science officer was one of the first people on board the Columbia to interact with Jona socially. They shared drinks in The Look Outt bar and spoke of their families and motivations. They have quickly become friends and enjoy laughing with one another and the occasional practical joke. After Duyzer ascended to the Executive Officer position aboard the Columbia, Jona felt envious of his friend but found it difficult to voice those shameful feelings.

Jona met James soon after he was posted to the Columbia. They have developed a good working relationship and mutual respect for one another's abilities. James and Jona became roommates and shared quarters on Deck 20 for a few months before Jona received his own personal quarters. When both transferred together to the USS Gorkon it spurred a sense of comradeship. Frequent drinking companions.

[[Image:Artinus Serinus.jpg|100px|left|]]
Jona met Artinus aboard the Columbia during a workout session in the gymnasium. They shared multiple interests including Klingon opera. Jona and Artinus participated in multiple holodeck adventures including cliff diving on Andoria and a war game simulation developed by Serinus. Jona appreciates his go-getter attitude and believes the Magna Roman will go far in the Fleet.

Jona met Arlo soon after she transferred aboard the Gorkon. They have shared several drinks on shore leave and participated in away team missions together, forming an easy friendship. She has expressed interest in visiting Andoria someday and Jona wonders if there might be some deeper connection there.

<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|Personal|200|COLOR=DarkGoldenrod}}</h3>
 
Jona spent his youth on Andoria but developed a taste for Terran cuisine and culture despite his traditionalist parents' objections. He spent many summers exploring the network of ice tunnels and caves near the Ranni clan holdings and has lamented never learning to ride a bike as a youth.
 
When he applied to Starfleet it was against the wishes of all four of his parents. Spel and Mir were the more vocal of the four to object. This has led to a somewhat strained relationship with them because of their ongoing disapproval. This rift has begun to heal over time as they see him excel at his new path.
 
Jona displayed a natural ability at piloting and served for a year aboard the Andorian dilithium freighter Verlaxi to gain experience before attending the Academy. At the Academy flight school, he earned the callsign "Mash". This was a playful jab from his classmates at the way he enjoyed his steamed tuber root.
 
His hobbies include playing three-dimensional chess and reading Andorian and Terran historical novels. He also enjoys physical activity including rock climbing, cliff diving, and Parrises Squares. He is eager to learn and gain life experiences. He can be somewhat clumsy when nervous but covers with humor even in serious situations. Jona is fluent in Graalen (Andorian), Federation Standard and Klingon and has intermediate ability in Bolian.

{{Citation|Nebula Bar|239606.24|USS Columbia|"His descriptions of Losaria and it’s star system were so vivid and beautifully written that they took my breath away. Whenever I thought “this cannot get any better” he defied my expectations and crafted a beautiful world for us to spend a shore leave. He brought others in with him and encouraged them to partake in the landscape."}}
{{Citation|1-year Member|239706.28|USS Gorkon|For those who have been members continuously for one year.}}
{{Citation|Voyager Medallion|239706.30|USS Gorkon|"It's a wonder to watch him take relatively mundane scenes of his character's day-to-day duties - PADD work, inventory and more - that not just flesh out the department, but draw other writers into unexpected and delightful moments of character development. He crafts his sims in a way that really underscores and reminds us how important Operations is to the smooth running of a ship. ... It can't be overstated how much another simmer feels notices and appreciated when an off-hand comment or situation they write into their sims is later reflected in one of Jona's."}}
{{Citation|Q Award|239806.26|USS Gorkon|"He has delighted and captivated us all throughout the last year, adding in his plot twists and thrills, unexpectedly coming up with creative curveballs from his attention to detail from others’ sims to send it winging back like a boomerang. Giving us a solid glimpse into the life and times of Operations, to a boot forward in missions with a delightfully hideous manoeuvre (the slime could TALK!). Nominations for this award spoke about how he chucks in the dips and dives, plot hooks and makes the writer think about what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. For all his entertaining plot devices and impressive leadership skills in doing so, this year we’re awarding Jona ch’Ranni with the Q Award."}}
{{Citation|Pathfinder Award|239806.26|USS Gorkon|"He stands out as one of the most patient and kind mentors I've been fortunate enough to work with, dedicated to seeing his juniors develop their skills. He offers his mentees wise, detailed and actionable advice, deftly illustrating his point with examples from the sims. Just as importantly, he makes sure those he is mentoring know what they're doing well! Of note, he's also brought some great ideas to the command staff about different ways to deliver feedback, especially for new simmers, giving us new means to make those first contacts a less intimidating experience. We're so pleased to have him on the team, and to present him with this year's Pathfinder."}}
{{Citation|Scotty Cross|239806.26|USS Gorkon|"Creativity can be a wild beast to tame, from the random series of thoughts and events, sprouting up sometimes from out of nowhere, sometimes inspiration strikes like a thunderclap. This year has proven he has a boundless sense of creativity coming in spades, playing in any season, ready and ripe to rip the floor right from under your feet. His nominations for this award spoke of his abilities to create the most memorable scenes and moments which stick with his fellow writers for months and years afterwards. They highlighted his scenes involving the shuttlecraft as some of the best to show how ingeniously agile he is. As part of a mission, he throws in an unexpected plot twist to see everyone react, and on shore leave, he comes up with resourceful methods to get everyone involved. Whether this is one plot dilemma or a plot twist to see us winging in another direction, we’re all looking forward to seeing what comes next."}}

I am both ecstatic and confused. The captain just informed me of my first promotion. I never thought that it would come so soon. It is a humbling experience to be recognized for your hard work. I'm trying to contain myself and keep a level head. There's an old Terran book that I remember a quote from. "Pride cometh before the fall." Well ... I'll try not to let that happen. Oh yeah, and Colquhoun and I broke our replicator. What a mess! Hope I don't get into too much trouble for it.

Our arrival at Giáng Sinh has afforded us a welcome bit of rest from the chaotic experience in the 'alternate reality' forced upon us by Q. I'm looking forward to the snowy landscape of the research station and getting to know the crew of the Gorkon better.

Only time will tell. I hope Starfleet can provide a more active presence here in the long term. I can't help but feel that we haven't seen the last of these fungus creatures. On a happier note, I was rewarded by Admiral Reynolds with three new service ribbons. I'm getting quite the collection! The Department Chief one is my favorite. It's the most plain-looking but it's recognition for doing what I love. I can't imagine being anywhere else right now.
