Jacques Lazier was born in 2375 in Metairie Louisiana. He had one other brother, Buddy Jr. Growing up in his brothers shadow, Jacques often found it hard to live up to the lofty expectations set by his ever-pleasing brother BJ. While his brother was clearly Mother's boy, Jacques grew very close to his father. A family that preferred the old way of living to the ever advancing technological way of life, the were farmers, growing their fair share of the food needed for the communities in the area to be self-sustaining. It was always assumed that Buddy Jr would be bound for Starfleet or other brave endeavors, while Jacques would stay behind and man the farm, taking over someday for his parents. | Jacques Lazier was born in 2375 in Metairie Louisiana.

Shortly after Jacques | Shortly after Jacques 16th birthday, his father was lost in a tragic farming accident while helping a neighbor. Jacques was too young to take over, and Jacquelyn wasn't suited to do things herself, so Buddy Jr had to alter his future plans and stay home to keep the family farm afloat. Jacques didn't take his fathers passing well, and shortly thereafter began to rebel. Other than being a massive thorn in his mother and older brothers side, he never managed to cause any serious trouble, mainly just the garden variety hell raising that you would have expected a adolescent boy to cause. His mother became very strict, and his brother started to resent Jacques for making her life hell every time he rebelled. Jacques began to resent the farm itself, and the way of life that took his father away from him. Without Buddy Sr around it was clear the scales had been unbalanced, and he felt the farm was no longer his home. | ||
He bounced around from place to place for a few months, but eventually the couch-surfing lifestyle had run its course, and instead of Buddy it was Jacques who enlisted in Starfleet. It wasn't his childhood dream like it was for many, more of a way out. Though, the more and more he thought on the idea, the more it did grow on him. After initial reluctance to accept his own decision, he finally came to terms with his new future, and decided to take the first step into adulthood and put forth a real effort into making something out of his newfound future. | He bounced around from place to place for a few months, but eventually the couch-surfing lifestyle had run its course, and instead of Buddy it was Jacques who enlisted in Starfleet.
