=== Early Life ===
Jaymeson was born on Earth in Nova York, United States, the only child to Old Earth parents. He recieved the standard American education and showed excellent ability in science and mathematics. While young he ambitioned to become a spacer, much to his parents chagrin.
Like many Consortium-era youth, he spent a brief period studying abroad in both the Soviet Union and the People's Republic.
=== Academy ===
At nineteen years old, Jaymeson received admission into the Huntsville Academy in the United States. He spent four years and graduated with a Bachelor of Science before moving into the Academy's graduate program and earning a Master of Astronautics. He tested into the doctoral program with low test scores and failed the Doctorate of Astronautics program after failing to demonstrate engineering capacity. Despite three attempts at the project, Jaymeson was ultimately dismissed from the Academy. Had he passed, he would have become one of the Consortium's prized Trade Spacers, who maintained the Interplanetary Network of shipping throughout Sol System and living full time in space.
=== Scientist and Spacer ===
Jaymeson became very depressed after his failure. It would come to define him. Despite these setbacks, he gained his first career as a Consortium chemist. He became employed by a synthetics plant at the age of twenty six. A year into this employ, he gained a Class A license to pilot spacecraft and made regular trips to various space stations to conduct experiments for the Consortium.
=== Marriage ===
Three years into his career, he first met stranded spacer Cera Vivion, a native of the Main Belt, and the two quickly fell in love. While Cera never heard from her parents again, Jaymeson's parents severely disapproved of the union and cut all contact with him due to their Old Earth beliefs. Jaymeson and Cera united in civil marriage and relocated to Jersey where Jaymeson remained employed as a synthetics chemist. He helped her gain United States citizenship.
The two enjoyed several years of married bliss on Earth before their relationship deepened over a mutual love of space. They decided to relocate to Dosijing in the Main Belt.
