Jane Autumn

Jane Autumn is a young Computer Scientist serving on the USS Phoenix.

## Background

### Early life

Jane Autumn’s the daughter of 2 Starfleet officers, a Commander on Starbase 1 and a Xenolinguistic Instructor at the Starfleet Academy. She has 2 younger brothers, Jake and Jack - her parents sure loved names starting with “J”. She loved her brothers, but usually favors the younger one, Jack slightly more than Jake.

Like most children with Starfleet officers for parents, Jane grew up with the dream of joining Starfleet and boldly go where no one has gone before. She’s not the best student in her classes over the years, but definitely not the worst.

As her mother is a Xenolinguistic Instructor, she’s introduced to many languages since she was 5. Her father, being a Commander overseeing the flow of supply on the Starbase, was a busy man. Busy as he was, though, he still try to spend time with his family, keep tabs on his children’s academic results and help Jane and her siblings with their homework whenever he could.

Jane’s mother used to give her something to read everyday - starting with a paragraph when she was 5, her reading materials just grow steadily longer - and of course they were all in some foreign language. Jane’s mom used to work as a Communication Officer on a Starship before accepting a ground post at the Academy when Jane was born, so she knew plenty of alien languages. When Jane was 7, her mom once gave her a science journal to read and translate as a practice exercise for her Vulcan, and ever since that day Jane insisted her mother on giving her science journals as reading materials.

Jane’s father encouraged her to enlist in the Academy and join Starfleet, and Jane totally agreed with her dad on that one. Her dad used to give her and her siblings tours on the Starbase whenever he’s on leave and can bring them there. As much as her parents wanted her to get a post somewhere near Earth, Jane wanted to serve on a starship and her parents didn’t protest (too much).

### Starfleet career

#### At the Academy

Jane’s time at the Academy was...well, ordinary, for the most part. She arrived on time for her classes most of the time, especially her favorite classes like Advanced Computer Programming and Basic Engineering. She’s not the best student in her classes but never the worst either. She occasionally hung out with other cadets, mostly her roommates and classmates. Jane loved wearing uniforms as she won’t have to spend half-an-hour just to pick out what outfit to wear. Be it in the Mess Hall in early morning or in a Science lab in late evening, you'll always see Jane in the correct uniform. She may appear to be just the kind of star students, but she does bend the rules from time to time, even if she doesn’t show that side of her too much. And, well, with her mom an Instructor in the Academy, it’s pretty obvious she had to keep herself in line. Her marks are usually among the top of her classes.

#### After graduating from the Academy

She used to work on the Enterprise for nearly a year before reassigning to the USS Phoenix as a (Computer) Science Officer.

### Other informations

#### Likes

Her favorite Starfleet ship was the USS Enterprise NCC-1701; and her favorite Starfleet crew was James T. Kirk and his Command crew. Jane like reading, especially stuff about the 21st/23rd century or Scientific Journals. She can be rather observant when she want to and she’d protect her friends, her crewmates as much as she could. She loves chocolate, ice cream and Neapolitan cake, and basically anything sweet.

#### Dislikes

She doesn't like insects and bugs (who doesn't), but can control her fear when she must.
