Jonas Lemar

A Family Bond

Jonas was born to two loving parents, Olivia and Tobias Lemar, and he lived on the family estate beside the Chew Valley Lake, an area on the skirts of Bristol, a beautiful agricultural centre on Earth. From the very beginning, Jonas was showered with all manner of attentions by his mother, and as a result, Jonas built a strong loving bond with her. His father, Tobias, was an academy lecturer in quantum physics at the Institute of Science & Medicine on Trill. Due to Olivia’s refusal to abandon their home, an estate that had been in the family for many generations, Tobias’s occupation meant he was away from his family for weeks at a time, sometimes even months. This caused Jonas to developed a greater bond with his mother, but he always looked up to his father as a man of great importance.

Olivia was a civil engineer for the local authority. Her skills at this meant she was very analytically minded, which in turn rubbed off on Jonas during his upbringing. Jonas grew to be a very curious boy fascinated by the world and his surroundings. He questioned everything, wanted to know why everything was as it was. It was that very nature in him that would cause him to one day leave home in search of those answers.

A Scientist In The Making

When he was older, Jonas was able to spend more time with his father, often accompanying him to the Institute of Science & Medicine on Trill. Although he spent much of that time indoors, unable to roam freely around the Institute, he would often access the databanks of his father’s computer and read about the universe and it’s many wonders.

It wasn’t until Jonas was 16 that he developed a keen interest for Medicine, along with many other fields of science. He would visit his father more and more, until soon he spent as much time away from his mother as his father did. On his 19th birthday, Jonas approached his father and asked permission to study at the Institute himself. Sponsored by a very proud father, who lectured there for 6 months of the year, Jonas was soon enrolled into the Institute.

A Restless Spirit

After 2 years of hard study, Jonas graduated from the Institute with the highest grade in his class, and more honors than most his age. He then returned to his family estate, back on Earth, where he spent many months helping his family to the run the estate. He would aid with turning the fields and coaxing the vines, but somehow it never satisfied his lust for the great unknown. Jonas soon became tired of the quiet life, and eager to further his skills and put them to good use, he applied for entry to Starfleet Academy.

Needless to say, he was accepted.

A New Begining

After 4 years of hard study and determination, and a final exam by one of the toughest Instructors on the staff, Jonas graduated from Starfleet Academy. He danced the halls with delight when he heard the news and planned to tell his mother that very same day, but there was very little time indeed. Already he had received his marching orders, to get straight into the fleet without a moment’s notice. He was disappointed that he didn’t even have a chance to celebrate the good news, but Jonas had taken an oath to serve, and he had been called to his post.

While waiting in line for a shuttle, Jonas was approached by some security personnel. He had followed without question, and moments later he had been whisked away by a transporter. Later he learned that he had been volunteered for service in the 52nd fleet by the Admirality sympathetic to LoDona's cause. With little he could do but cooperate, Jonas allowed himself to be transported in secret to Starbase Geneva where he was transferred into the fleet.
