Jaxx was born and raised in Medara, Betazed the capitol city. 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 was born into the 8th House of Betazed, The House of Intuition. After the war, his father assumed the role of High Office of Defense. After serving a couple terms, he ran for and was elected to the Federation Council. His mother was the Lady of the 8th House, and served on the ruling council. She rarely traveled away from Betazed. | |||
Brought up, Jaxx was always taught to put others before himself. 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. His mother wanted them to be part of the ruling class, and spend his days with the rest of the people in high society. Jaxx finished secondary school, graduated and went to The University of Betazed, where he obtained his doctorate in psychological studies, a fairly easy task for a Betazoid. 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. Jaxx's father was surprised that he chose Starfleet. It was never his goal. When Jaxx was asked why, he told his father he joined for Saara. He wanted her sacrifice to mean something, and putting on the uniform every day would remind him of it. | |||
Jaxx has done everything he could to shed his title on Betazed, and become a Starfleet officer. On Betazed his is known as Andrus Jaxx, Son of the 8th House of Betazed, Keeper of the Holy Seal of Polea. Jaxx looked at his title as a bunch of nonsense and only uses it when it is at his advantage, or when he is home. | |||
