## Footnotes

**†**= Killed in Action or Deceased

Fian is extremely intelligent with a natural talent for physics, coming from a family of prominent physicists. However, he has a passion for history and refuses to study physics, as his father attempted to force him to become a physicist against his wishes. Despite his preference for history over physics, he still has an advanced understanding of the subject that allows him to debate professional physicists– he even notices a flaw in the physics section of his fighter pilot qualification theory test.

Having grown up in an environment that necessitated he stand his ground in order to follow the path he desired, Fian is incredibly stubborn and determined. This stubbornness translates into his relationship with Jarra, where he acts as a steadying influence to Jarra's impulsivity.

Fian is a fan of the vid series *Stalea of the Jungle*, and enjoys having Jarra throw him across the room in the same way that the female lead of the series throws her male counterpart. He generally resists the conservative sexual values of Delta sector, calling himself a "badly behaved Deltan."

Fian has long blond hair and light skin, apparently resembling the vid star Arrack San Domex, of whom Jarra is a fan.

### Early Years

Fian was raised on Hercules, generally regarded as one of the strictest planets in conservative Delta sector.

Due to their high achieving family, his father has had strict and high expectations for Fian and his sister to succeed in physics. Fian rebelled against this and secretly studied history. His father considered Fian the family failure.

Fian's two closest friends were Valin and Macall. The three of them secretly studied history together. Macall who had moved to Hercules from Gamma Sector and introduced Fian to the vid series *Stalea of the Jungle*.

Fian becomes Jarra's tag support on the class's excavation Team 1 and saves Jarra several times during their coursework. Fian is Jarra's tag support during their rescue of Cassandra 2. They bond over their favorite vid series and love for history and eventually begin an relationship.

Fian and Jarra meet the Cassandra 2 research who thank them for their rescue efforts. As a result, they are trapped alongside Cassandra 2 when the super solar storm hits.

To Fian's delight, Jarra agrees to register a Twoing contract. Several hours later, Jarra confesses that she is not Military as she had claimed to be, but Handicapped. Fian is horrified and upset, but works through his feelings and resolves to stay with Jarra and make their relationship work.

When Solar 5, a ship of Military officers, crash-lands on New York Dig Site due to the super solar storm, Fian and Jarra are among the archaeologists who volunteer to help with the rescue effort.

### Meet and Greet Fian's POV

*From a 2013 interview with Janet Edwards* -
Meet and Greet Fian's POV

### Earth Star

The Military Alien Contact program activates and Fian and Jarra are unexpectedly drafted into the Military to support the History team. They are initially made Captains. Both Fian and Jarra are in dazed awe at this turn of events, confused as to why two young students were drafted, and shocked to find that an alien device is orbiting Earth. After Jarra points out the Ark as a potential civilian evacuation center, Colonel Torrek makes her the History team leader with Fian as her deputy.

Fian and Jarra are disgruntled to learn that they had actually been drafted to help root out people with prejudices within the program. Their unique situation as a handicapped person in a relationship with a normal-born person was meant to expose anyone who could not control their prejudice towards those different from themselves and could thus pose a threat to alien contact. They both decide that the fate of humanity is more important than their personal feelings.

Fian makes several contributions of his own. He argues that the alien probe had likely traveled by conventional means to Earth since it was larger than the largest scientifically possible portal. This implied that that the alien civilization has not invented portal technology before sending the probe, but has had immeasurable time to invent portal technology and immediately send their forces to Earth. He also puts forth the troubling theory that aliens could hijack humanity's portal network to transport their own hostile forces.

When the Alien contact program is leaked to the public, Fian acts as Jarra's deputy during the excavation of the Alien Artifact in Earth Africa. Fian also accompanies Jarra into the excavated alien tunnel and is heavily involved in answering the aliens' tests. He and Jarra activate the final alien device together, and the orbiting sphere responds to their utter delight.

Fian has also been dealing with his own internal family problems. His parents have reached the end of their twenty-five year term marriage. His mother wanted to renew the marriage but his father blatantly refused. As a result, Fian is afraid that Jarra does not want to commit to their relationship. In turn, Fian learns that Jarra is both afraid of losing him and afraid of involving him in her personal problems. They are both shocked to learn that Jarra was born to a clan from uncomfortably permissive Beta Sector and is a descendant of Tellon Blaze. They both decide to work on obstacles and compromises together. They renew their Twoing contract during the Zulu excavation.

### Earth Flight

Before Fian could become betrothed to Jarra, he was adopted into the Tell Clan as the adopted son of Dragon Tell Dramis resulting in Drago becoming his brother. While Jarra is in the tank, Fian learns just how important Drago takes that adoption.

Behind the scenes, Fian is in major despair and wrecks havoc on their apartment, Drago helps Fian, first by arranging some spare space in Jarra's medical dome to be converted to an apartment for them, then being there with moral support.

During the three months that Jarra was in the tank, Drago's team of pilots took it upon themselves to train Fian as a fighter pilot as a way to keep him busy and to help keep him from falling apart. By the time that Jarra was decanted, Fian was a fully qualified fighter pilot so served as Jarra's co-pilot as they flew to Fortuna's Moon. When a "fire ship" tried to attack them on the way to Adonis' orbital interchange 1, Fian took control to avoid the missiles, while the rest of Drago's fighter pilots destroyed them.

Fian was vital in opening up Fortuna, the alien home planet, for which both he and Jarra were awarded the Pallas Athena, the military equivalent to a Nobel Prize.

### The End, and the New Beginning

Fian supports Jarra and also proves to be startling good at firing the Line Rifle at the Berlin dig site.

### I’ll Be Right Here Waiting

Fian accompanies Jarra to Zulu Base for Jarra's surgery. He learns about General Torrek's familial ties to Jarra and discusses with Torrek how this revelation has affected himself and Jarra.
