BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

A. Background Summary:

Jermaine was born in New Zealand on the planet Earth. His father was a successful and popular industrialist of European descent. His mother was a successful Federation diplomat of mauri heritage. Jermaine grew up travelling on and off earth. Sometimes he would travel with his mother when she would go on diplomatic missions and sometimes with his father on business trips.

Jermaine attended several schools and had several different tutors while growing up as a result of his travelling and had learned 4 languages by the age of 8. During his secondary education he developed an interest in psychology and sociology. When he was 15, his mother was killed by a ship of Gorn raiders that attacked the ship she was on during a diplomatic mission. His father had trouble adjusting to his mothers death and he and Jermaine grew distant from each other.

It was at this time that he decided to join Starfleet. While there his focus was on diplomatic relations and first contact procedures. After graduation, Jermaine began his career serving as an attaché during several diplomatic missions. His expertise with languages made him a valuable asset as he was able to understand and interpet the nuances that the universal translators weren't able to translate. 

It was during these missions that Jermaine developed the desire to join Starfleet's counseling corps, after having seen the toll that stress and pain can put on people. He took a leave as an attaché, and spent a couple of years obtaining advanced degrees in psychology and sociology. He became an intern on earth at Starfleet medical as counselor in training until he was certified as a ships counselor.

B. Personality Summary

Jermaine has an easy going personality that has a tendency to help people lower their guard with him. This is very helpful during counseling sessions. He speaks with  Kiwi pronunciation but has trained himself to avoid most colloquial slang in favor of international english except during times of extreme stress where you might hear a phrase or two that will make you scratch your head and wonder if your not familiar with the phrase.

Although not empathic in the scientific sense of the word, Jermaine does have a high degree of emotional empathy with those around him and will try to view conflict from the other persons viewpoint before making decisions.
