After his wife and he decided that now that the children were both on thier own, they should just get a divorce and be done with it. He decided against leaving The New World Theorist Group (something his wife had pushed him to do) and is still a participating and contribution member. Damion is just now starting to form a better and more open relationship with his daughter but it's taking time and she tends to be a bit unwilling. As for his son, he's all but abandoned Marcus. | ||
*Megan O���?�Connell-Briels is Rowanna's grandmother. She lives in Ireland and despite her old age still works as doctor in her small village. The village she lives in was a Starfleet project to allow those who preferred a more old fashioned life style to have that, but still be on Earth and close to the "Out-side World". Rowanna lived with her Grandmother in this small village devoid of most technologies for a good portion of her life. She moved there when she was three, and left when she was ten.

This was something that Ro, at the time, was extremely upset about. Later on though, she decided that she was better off there then with her mother. | ||
While living in Ireland Ro's Grandmother taught her the basics of natural medicine, not to mention let her Irish temper rub off on the young girl. That, and the few ancient Gaelic curse words, were the things that Ro paid the most attention to, and emulated the most, much to her Grandmother's delight and her mother's dismay. | While living in Ireland Ro's Grandmother taught her the basics of natural medicine, not to mention let her Irish temper rub off on the young girl.

She was advanced in the sciences and at playing the piano, something she still enjoys very much. But for as hard as she studied, she played even harder. Ro and Jaden, as soon as they were old enough to go off campus on the week ends and in thier free time, became trouble makers. They were lucky though, the teachers and administration liked them very much, so they rarely got in trouble for thier antics. | ||

When she was fourteen Ro was placed in temporal theory for her major science.

At this point, Rowanna was considering what to do after she finished her time at the privet school. She had considered going straight to Starfleet Academy, she asked her mother's opinion on this, Ellian said something to the extent of, no daughter of mine will be joining such an awful organization at such a young age. This response only made Ro more dedicated to getting into the Academy. | ||
However, even with this added motivation to attend the Academy, Ro decided that she wanted to live life a little bit first. So, she moved back to San Francisco. The good bye with Jaden was hard, but they did promise to meet up later in life. | However, even with this added motivation to attend the Academy, Ro decided that she wanted to live life a little bit first.

Many of her fondest memories took place there it was there that she learned how to play poker, and it was there that she learned how to con a win in billiards.

It lasted almost a year, and it ended with James finding someone more to his liking. A blessing in disguise that Ro didn't notice until a little later. | ||
With that behind her, Ro had sworn off men and relationships all together. That is, until she met Anya Bright. She was a striking woman, a year or two older then Rowanna. She had black hair, and green eyes that seemed to look into the soul of the person she was looking at. It was Anya who approached Ro, asking her out to dinner. Rowanna, never having been in this type of relationship before was nervous but accepted, if nothing but for the experience. And the rest, as they say, is history. | With that behind her, Ro had sworn off men and relationships all together. That is, until she met Anya Bright.

Anya taught her a lot about life, love, and people in general, she helped Rowanna discover who she was on a deeper level and helped her be comfortable with bi-sexuality. | ||
Ther happiness however, did not last forever. On Rowanna's second attempt at applying for the Academy, when she was accepted, Anya made it know, in a polite way, that she didn't want Ro joining Starfleet. For a time Rowanna thought the she had convinced Anya that it could work, but as the start of term neared there relationship faded. It was not an ugly break up as the one with James had been, but a simply consensual end. To this day they have remained friends. | |||
