(j.g.); Assigned SEC, USS Westerna 071221 Promoted to Lt 100927 Promoted to LCdr, Assigned 2O, USS Van Helsing 1401xx Promoted to Cdr., Assigned XO, USS Challenger Personal History / Psychological Profile Martha's Vinyard was one of the few areas in the United States of America to survive the bombardment of World War III. Abandoned by the Kennedys due to massive clouds of radioactive dust, the Vinyard was left abandoned for decades. In the mid-2100's, the CinCSF was one of several high-profile Admirals to begin keeping a home there. Martha's Vinyard has now become a colony for the more high-profile Starfleet Legacy families. Most of the houses are shared by several families - the vast majority of residents are usually on starships. The great expansion that gripped the Federation in the late twenty-third century has never completely left culture of the Vinyard - most families still have several children, who spend several years in Massachusetts before going to live with their parents aboard one starship or another. Ethan is the second child of a typical Vinyard family - he was born in the Vinyard to two career Starfleet officers. His mother served aboard the USS Excalibur with Captian Mackenzie Calhoun before commanding the USS Spielberg, his father served for a brief time with Captian Picard on the Enterprise-D early in his carrer, and later commanded the USS Soderberg. As with most Viyard famlies, Ethan has several siblings - Lysa is second officer on the Louisiania, assigned to Starbase 173 in sector 23, near the Romulan neutral zone, and currently engaged to Commander Robert April, also a Vinyard child and descendant of the the first captian of the Enterprise 1701. Edward is flight control officer on the Essex, a long range scout currently in the Beta Quadrant. Colin is a medical student, currently sixth-year in the medical track at the Academy, and dating Cadet Jeffrey Barnes, from Alpha Centuari. One of the most intersting quirks of the Jeffords children is that they seem to embody the different types of starfleet officers. Colin spends his summers working for various humanitarian projects, and spent a year of Medical School in the University of Betazed. Lysa is a police officer, having risen to second officer after a stint as chief of secuirty on Starbase 231. Edward is the explorer - he is almost through his first five-year mission on a long-range scout, and has said it won't be his last. Ethan is the political man. He rose quickly through the ranks after graduation, and has not spent more than four years between promotions. He is openly ambitious, and intends to make captian by fourty, admiral by fifty. He makes friends easily, and has a large network of aquantiances and family friends that stretches the breath of the galaxy. He does not, however, easily become attached, emotionally. He refers to life as a 'dynamic environment,' and frequently uses the saying, 'the only constant in the world is inconsitancy.' Hobbies Ethan is something of a history affectionado, and took several advanced courses on Earth History, in specific, at the academy. He also has several books by the 20th century comedian Dennis Miller. Ethan plays poker, chess, darts, and various other games, and regularly runs several miles.
