| Personal History | Jamie Chaparral first served on the USS Magistrate as a nurse. With the encouragement of his friends there, including Captain Katrina Jarsh he switched careers to forensics and soon found himself on the USS Resistance where he met Ulani an Elasian and the chief of the Intel department. It was anything but love at first sight. Jamie was gay and despite Ulani’s good looks and Elasian ways was in no way tempted. For her part Ulani was in love with the Captain, Benjamin Gates a former lover. Jamie and Ulani continued to butt heads and thought the other was inconsiderate, rude, and pretty much unacceptable. Whenever they had tyo work with each other, sparks flew and they weren’t the romantic ones. Then one time, as part of maintaining her cover the two had to dance the Tango together. There was a heat there that neither wanted to accept, but that eventually neither could deny. Nothing changed instantly, in fact for a time things seemed to get worse. Then one day when they were both trying to save the Captain they got into an argument about how to do so. The verbal assault escalated and eventually became physical. Then the physical went from violent to sensual. Eventually they became regular lovers, something Jamie thought would never happen with a woman and eventually, when she became pregnant with Jonah they married. Ethan was born in Casablanca when they were on leave. They lived there until Ethan was five, though Ulani was often gone on extended trips away from home. Then they served together on the USS Resistance until the end of the Dominion War when they retired and moved to a new home in New Orleans. He was curious about life and death from an early age, perhaps it was because his grandfather and uncle were infectious disease doctors. He read his father’s textbooks and just about anything that he could get his hands on about infectious diseases, epidemics and pathology. He knew what career path he wanted to go down when he was in Middle School. He also knew about that time that he was gay. Of course his parents were quite open and accepting as were all of his friends. He had a few boyfriends growing up but nothing serious and no serious breakups either. Then he came to the Academy. He did well there, selecting the medical track of course. He specialized in both forensic pathology like his father and epidemiology which was his first love. He also met Dylan there and had his first truly serious relationship, until they broke up, because of rumors passed on to Jonah, by Dylan's family in particular his sister. |
