== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very seriously and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

Like many well-aged symbionts, Non-Trill Telepathic contact is strongly discouraged, as unforeseen side-effects for both the host, symbiont, and telepath could be experienced. Many races struggle to traverse the complex and highly sensitive mental structure of elder symbionts, as they themselves communicate electro-telepathically. While all hosts are trained to wall themselves from telepathic contact, Trill are not specifically able to block a mental probing or invasion. [[The Five]] are known to be particularly dangerous however.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240604.21

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

Eyes of the Past: Part I

2011-07-21T05:10:18Z

Lneyes: /* Intrepid, Current SD */

=== Planetery Commission, Trill, SD 236306.12 ===

Hyane Illarix Neyes sleekly strutted through the halls of the planetary commission. Her long black hair pulled back into a styled ponytail and her dark blue commissioners uniform gave her a shock appeal that usually stunned most of her opposition in this profession. Her last encounter with the Center for Atmospheric Regulation (CAR) had proved to be shortlived when the President of CAR kept trying to get a peep into her skirt during their meeting. She immediately cut plans with the man and assigned another case worker to see his financial request. In short, she was dead sexy.

This had absolutely no bearing on her work standards however. She was strong, intelligent, cutthroat and most of all proud. Proud that she had become the commissioner with the highest regard on Trill. Proud to be in a healthy and loving relationship with a wonderful man. Most of all she was proud to have been a joined Trill, the 9th of the Neyes line, for the last 23 years.

As she walked into the meeting hall, she always took a moment to appreciate the wonder of its design. It's massive, three story beams reaching into the ceiling at a beautiful arch like alternating arms holding the roof above their heads. The highest point in the hall was above the entry way, where the wall slowly arched forward to meet it. The ceiling gradually cascaded down to the floor near the back of the hall, where she would be sitting amongst 15 other commissioners and delegates for the planetary commission. The rest of the hall was widely circular with 78 stations for all the seated members of the commission.

Walking down the center of it had sometimes left her shaken and intimidated in her early years.

She cleared her throat and put forth her most strong tone as she took her place at the center of the addressing bench, "All here?". The query ellicited a immediate and concise reponse on her desk panel. Green lights indicated all seats in the hall were full and occupied. Since all the members of the commission had a place and an elected position, any absenses needed to be addressed prior to beginning.

"Very well." Bringing up a list of the daily issues, she sighed. It had come to a point in her career where dealing with the mundane issues of the Trillian society were commonplace. The droning complaints of delegates from distant sectors of the world economy ran rampant on the planetary commission's plate.

Today however, she had a different tone in mind for the meeting.
"I'm in no mood to humiliate this delegation with some of these issues. I'll be bringing forth the tickets I deem important today, and then sending the rest to the secondary commity."

As she had expected the entire room began to buzz with soft murmurs and whispers, errupting in dissapproval. Rolling her eyes she calmly tapped her silencing command and a shrill sound ripped through the hall, effectively quieting everyone. It was really quite effective, and she secretly enjoyed using it.
With a amused smirk on her face, she tapped her panel and brought up the issue she'd chosen to begin first. It happened to be the issue of the Space-Project's budget.

In a moment of reflection, she remembered being fascinated with her starcharts as a child and spending hours under the lens of a telescope, peering into the cosmos. It was one of the fondest memories of her youth. . .

=== Intrepid, Current SD ===

Landon allowed himself to fade, for a mere second, into memory. His eyes clenched and his mind reached back. Even five hosts removed from her, she was like a stable hand on his back. Hyane's life had been a pillar of strength for him. All 130 years of it. As he controlled the helm and listening to the shattered bridge's cluttered hustle, he reached for her support.

The Five

Lneyes: /* The Five */

== The Five ==

A small group of 5 symbionts who are the closest thing to an equivalent of 'royal' elders among the symbiont race. They are the oldest of the joined symbionts that are known to exist, and have a seated interest in the happenings of the Trill government and its people. While they are usually cast in roles of great importance, even more so than usual for a joined Trill, they are deeply rooted in mystery. Typically, and in almost every aspect, The Five act outside of the Trill government as an independent group. Some believe them to be the first to develop finer mental skills in joining. Others believe them nothing more than the oldest of the line.

Among The Five, each fills a roll which is passed on from host to host, specific to each symbiont.

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very seriously and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

Like many well-aged symbionts, Non-Trill Telepathic contact is strongly discouraged, as unforeseen side-effects for both the host, symbiont, and telepath could be experienced. Many races struggle to traverse the complex and highly sensitive mental structure of elder symbionts, as they themselves communicate electro-telepathically. While all hosts are trained to wall themselves from telepathic contact, Trill are not specifically able to block a mental probing or invasion. [[The Five]] are known to be particularly dangerous however.

See: [[The Five]]

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part IV]]''

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

''File Transfer Incoming...''

==== Jazni Neyes ====

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

[[File:Rob00.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Rob Lansine]], Landon's best friend.]]

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

Die Tonight, Live Forever: Chapter II

== SD 240605.02, The TCV Nodlan, Du'Ji Cluster (Five LYs from Trill) ==

Few things seem as vast as the emptiness of space. For imperceivable distances the only visible spectacles are stars lying so far out of reach, civilization had to harness the power of suns in order to find them. Areas of space still exist where no living thing has ever been, even now. Yet in this emptiness, the tiny TCS Nodlan slipped silently from it's high-powered subspace flight. A quick flash shown million of kilometers away, and then she popped almost out of nowhere. Her silver-line hull glistened as the speckled lightshow of stars danced invitingly on the metallic surfaces and artistic curves of her frame. Landon sat at the helm near the bow, a wide but sleek position, with windows both starboard and port meet ing the center viewer. Nodlan wasn't a small ship, by a shuttle's standards. She was in fact much larger than any Starfleet ship in the same class, but was still small enough to fit inside most shuttle bays of any starship. Sitting in someone else's hold wasn't really Neyes' style, however, and he would have probably landed his ship on a hostile planet rather than imprison her in docking moors.

The cabin door to the rear slid open with a subtle hiss as Gregory stepped into the control room. There wasn't a great distance between the helm and the back of the room, but it was enough for Neyes to have to anticipate Greg's solemn impatience as he moved to the co-pilot's seat. And sure enough it took less than a moment for Greg to clear his thr oat, ever so conspicuously.

"Yes?" Landon chimed, sarcastically.

"I see we dropped out of warp, friend. But there's nothing here-" He barely had time to finish the sentence when Odalla came stomping through the doors as well.

"You might give us a little warning next time, Ensign! SOME people have to catch up on their sleep after c hasing around a neurotic Trill pilot for the last week!"

Spoiled, that's what they were. Both Greg and Counselor Odalla were used to going on a mission after a Starfleet briefing. They wanted to know how, when, where, why and what. Now he carried them around in his most prized vessel (whose sound insulation wasn't designed to keep the thrum of a decelerating starship out of the sleeping quarters) and it was all they could do to keep from tearing his head off at every slight.
Neyes slowly to turned in his seat to confront her, but hi s intentions to scold her were suddenly thwarted as he looked upon he r disheveled appearance. It seemed she had neglected to take the time to put up her hair, and it was strewn about carelessly in her face, dark curls messed and twisted inside themselves. His brow shot up and he pointed at her. "You. You don't look half bad first thing in the morning." He teased. "We're where I want us to be. Now we just need to wait here for a moment."

"Wait for what?" Greg asked.

"Yes, PLEASE. Enlighten us to whatever mysterious plot you've dragged us into. I'd like to know what's going on." Odalla spat, taking the queue from Neyes and quickly tying up her hair into a small bun. She was a beautiful woman, but she didn't need to look bea utiful in the current company. It would have probably been a wasted effort anyway. Greg was a noted 'good-man' type who courted for the long haul and Neyes was... well... a joined Trill. They tended not to take on relationships. Even the Neyes symbiont talked a big talk, but she knew she was in no real danger of being approached for anything substantial.

As if summoned by their complaints, a ship immediately blipped on the sensors. Greg quickly took to the sensor controls and tried to analyze it. Landon simply sat and watched.

"I've got a small ship off the port bow. 1 million kilometers. Looks like they just dropped out of warp." Greg looked over at Landon. "Is this what we're waiting for."

"It's who... not what. And yeah." Neyes said, a little smirk gracing the corner of his lips. "He's here."

Odalla's eyes narrowed. "Who, HE. Ensign? Is this some contact of yours?"

The comm system came to life. "We're being hailed. Landon. I'd guess you want to speak to him." Greg looked over at him.

Landon began tapping the controls of the helm. "Open a channel." The computer chirped in response.

The man who sounded over the comm system had a relaxingly ch arming sound to his voice. He spoke with flawless intonation and a seductive flair. "Hello Neyes. It's been a little while." His attractive face lit up a side monitor. The man was slightly older than Landon, probably 27 in Earth years, and was just as physically fit. His jaw-line practically cut the edges of the frame. His metallic-silver eyes carved an intimidating look onto each of them as he nodded to both Greg and Odalla.

Odalla watched with a careful eye as she witnessed the exchange begin to take place. Landon had visibly shifted his body language. He no longer had the cocky, terse tightness, and a kind of familiar relaxation radiated off of the young man. Odalla couldn't tell if it was their past dealings or some es tranged sense of security, but Landon definitely knew a good deal abo ut the man to whom they were speaking. He seemed comfortable, but also cautious. Sneaking around in the corners of space and meeting up with unknown ships wasn't exactly in her job description. She found herself wondering if they hadn't gotten themselves into something terribly personal; if this wasn't some kind of a 'off the record' issue she'd missed.

Neyes' response was just as comfortable, and he also found himself using the same refined speaking form. "New body, new life, all that. I've gotten used to being a man, though. Sounds like you agree?"

"Of course. I haven't been a woman for a while now though, you know. Not since before I met you, I think." He replied. The words seemed to imply more than gender discussion, and everyone in the cabin felt it. To the unknowing listener, however, it would appear to be little more than play-talk. The two men obviously had had dealings with each other before, and given their talks so far, the meeting place and the similar ships, Greg and Odalla both felt like outsiders stepping into a private conversation.

Greg looked from side to side, and locked a quick mutual gaze with Odalla. "Who is this guy, Landon?"

"Sorry. Greg, Odalla, please meet my old friend. Na'jan Daeryx."

Odalla's brow furrowed, and Greg merely sat staring, ignorant to what it meant. "Your Daeryx?" She asked, implying her knowledge of his file and the symbiont's history.

Landon sighed. "Yes. My Daeryx."

His enthralling voice came back over the comm system. "Pleased to meet you both." He made a motion at one of his controls and his ship came to a stop about 100 meters off the Nodlan's bow. Greg leaned a little forward, as the small Trill ship came into view. Landon's ship was impressive, but this Daeryx... his was indescribable. Sleek curves and edges came to a melded round at the nose of the fighter, if that was indeed was it was. The ship obviously had warp capability, but the nacelles were built into the rounded wings of the ship. It was more like art than craft, and it looked like it was deceptively limited in it's weaponry.

From the corner of his eye, Neyes could see Greg looking at the ship in awe. Landon had been the same way when he'd seen the ship for the first time. It was almost fr ightening to be at the helm of that vessel, and Neyes had only experi enced in once. Daeryx was extremely touchy about letting anyone else man the helm.

"I suppose there's a reason you asked for me to meet you here, Neyes? I can't say I don't love getting to see you every few decades or so, but you usually don't ask on such short notice." Daeryx raised an eyebrow and cracked a thin smile.

Landon looked back over the viewer, "Yeah. Well..." He looked over to Greg and Odalla, hesitating to say anything out loud. A few moments was all it took for him to damn it all and just go with it. They were both already in this until the end. "I need you help to wipe the organization that killed my family of f the chart, Daeryx. I've got a lead on them, but I have a hard time thinking i'll be able to do it all alone."

"You? You think you can't do it alone? I'm honored, truly." The other Trill man chimed sarcastically.

"Joke all you want, Na'jan. I'm asking for your help."

"You have it, old friend. Always."

Greg's panel shouted an alarming serie s of blaring beeps as the tracking computer moved Daeryx's image to a smaller side screen and brought up a local map of space. Red dots flickered at them, and they appeared to moving at terrifying speed right in their direction. "Something just dropped out of warp! They're on an intercept course, headed here at full impulse!" He looked up first to Landon, who was already charging the engines, and then to the comm channel. Daeryx's image was gone however, and his ship was no longer in front of them.

''“Sometimes you just don’t get those things you cry for, Donny. Now get up off the floor and take your brother to the waters. He loves you… Djiu’ cadxya toruz… Maybe that’s more important? Hmm?”

-Reagan Irelle, on Tristan’s 6th birthday.''

== [SD 240604.21] :: Spacedock, Earth. ==

The early years of Landon’s life were filled with the happily flowing memories of a loving and beautiful family. A family he’d always hold to the book ends of his life, and in the constant thoughts drifting around in his mind’s eye. They were his reason to being. Now, in his final days on Earth, he found himself wishing he’d never left them. He was finally finished with his joining trials, an arduous journey that had stamped itself into the darker parts of his life’s tests. It seemed painful tests were a part of his fate.

''The funeral for his family had been just a few days past as well...''

Landon Irelle grabbed a book and two PADDS from the top of his dresser in his quarters. He'd nearly broken out in a hard sweat from hurrying to get back and head out again in time to get to his star base flight class. He cringed as his scraped knee brushed on the inside of his pants. Silently he cursed the steps leading into the residence hall. Lastly, he grabbed the communiqué from the Symbiosis Commission on Trill, kissed the picture of his family on his desk while throwing his book-bag over his head, and bolted out the door. Even the hiss of the door moving to the side seemed to chide him for his untimely scheduling.

''Every time he saw that picture, the memories crept up and took a little more of him...''

He’d already graduated, and was technically an Ensign in Starfleet at this point, but the star base commanding officer deemed it necessary for all his new pilots to undergo a formal evaluation course before they were allowed to sign on for transport duty. He thought it was a little… yeah. He wasn’t about to make any waves over it though, and he wanted nothing more than to do his best for the higher ups.

He had less than five minutes before he'd be late for class. He was late too often, or so he was told. His instructor, Commander Turner, only let him off the hook because he was at the top of the class. As if he had somehow earned it or something. Thanks for small favors, he supposed. Landon looked at his chronometer one more time.

"Crap!" He said aloud.

Picking up the pace, he was trying to get to the launch platform before precisely 3:00 pm, when the shuttle for his flight control assessment lifted off. Missing takeoff and having to be transported from the base, no matter where you were, was like the walk of shame, just with a bit less exercise. He checked the time once more, wishing he just shaved a few more seconds off his afternoon nap. Unfortunately, Landon had the minor problem of shuffling his feet when trying to steady himself.

''His brother Tristan had done the same thing…''

Landon was assured by his very best friend, Greg, that the boots from replicator 7, building 4, were even better than standard issue. Something about increased structure. He wasn't entirely sure why one replicator would be somehow magically better than any other, but he decided to give it a shot. It hadn’t yet been a single day since he’d gone and replicated a new pair of boots for his cadet’s uniform and they were already starting to chaff. He was starting to think Greg was kidding, or worse, mocking him from some unseen place nearby. Greg was his best friend, for sure, but was prone to making Landon his source of amusement.

He looked down for a split second. It was just long enough to see what he was running on, and just enough to make a mistake. His foot caught on his pant-leg. With a rustle and a grunt, Landon tripped and launched forward. "Aww cra- !!!"

Landon plowed into the walkway, face first. His hands got caught in his book-bag before they could break his fall. Skidding for a second, he rolled over on his back and let his book-bag slide off a few feet past him.

That was twice in one day, a new record. Great.

He sighed and laid in the glow of the overhead lights for roughly a minute. His cheek burned and stung from the impact, and his uniform was all dusted from the walkway. It was a mixed day. He'd never been this nervous, especially since the news he recieved from Trill. Now was when he was supposed to be feeling amazing and swell with pride. His ego was supposed to be aglow with accomplishment. But he just felt. . . wrong. He squinted.

A little beep from his bookbag went off. It was 3:00 pm.

Landon's eyes shot open and he reached out for his bag. It was about 10 feet away. He heard a buzzing sound. Too late. . .

He felt tingly, everything shimmered, and he was on the floor of the shuttle, on his side with his arm outstretched ahead. Commander Turner was kneeling down in front of him. His groin was accidentally placed at the just the right location to make it look like Landon was reaching for. . .well. Landon snatched his hand back and slowly looked up at the Commander. Smiling innocently.

"Ensign."

"Sir." He looked down at the floor, a little smear of blood on his cheek.

"Glad you could join us. I trust your trip wasn't too rough this time?" The rest of the class sitting in the shuttle all snickered.

Landon sighed and plopped up next to his friend Greg, sinking as low as he could into his seat. "No sir. It was informative, at least." He shot a nasty look at Greg. Whose face was red from holding back laughter. Greg struggled to calm himself and grabbed a dermal regenerator.

"I'll take care of him, sir." Greg added.

"Thank you, Mr. Moiko."

Greg tended to Landon's head wound and looked him over. "I thought you knew I was kidding about those shoes, Donny."

''His father called him that until he was 10…''

"Greg! You know I don't like it when you call me that." Landon cringed from the sting. It was embarrassing enough being humiliated in front of his entire flight class. Why did he even need to take this class? He'd passed every single piloting assessment at the Academy with flying colors, to use an expression. Now he needed to prove to a star base command crew he was proficient in basic shuttle piloting skills. The lost art of beaurocracy certainly wasn't dead in the Federation.

"Yeah, well. Oh! I heard you got some news! Let's see!", he looked around a second, "where's your bag? -oh. no biggie." Greg laughed again.

Landon rolled his eyes and scratched his head. He'd hoped nobody else would notice he didn't have his bag. Or that he was still all dusty. Greg chose that moment to offer his hands in an effort to remove of the pavement from the young Trill’s uniform. Landon started to recite the message from the Commission, reading the PADD loud enough for Greg to hear, no one else.

"Landon Eirlon Irelle, we're pleased to congratulate you on successfully completing the joining trials and evaluation. However. . ." he trailed off.

Greg sighed and put the dermal regenerator down. Landon had been trying for so long to be approved for joining, Greg couldn't remember a time in the last 3 years he hadn't spoken of it. He considered himself the Trill's big brother in more than a couple ways, especially since his family's death. He readied himself to console him. "Hey buddy it-".

Landon jumped in and interrupted him. "We were unable to match you with the Rexn symbiont as you requested, and have instead matched you with the Neyes Symbiont!" Landon beamed, laughing loudly. Almost awkwardly.

Greg's brow shot up in surprise, and he smiled at Landon's laugh. "You. You were approved for joining? YOU?! That's great!" His voice belied a little disbelief, but he was happy for Landon all the same. They hugged for a second, Landon nearly felt like crying.

"I know! I just can't- can't explain how happy I am. It's just that, well. . . the previous host dies. . . tomorrow," Landon paused, "I leave at 0300 for Trill. His name is Taylor Neyes. I guess he was suffered a massive stab wound to the chest somewhere in the Beta Quadrant. They wouldn't tell me more than that. I guess I'll know soon enough." Landon chuckled weakly and looked down at the floor.

"Hey. Donny, you knew this was coming though, right? It comes with the gig." He rubbed Landon's shoulder. "Be happy!"

Landon looked up and smiled back half-heartedly.

"I guess."

''It meant less now…''

== [SD 240604.22] :: Trill Homeworld ==

The lights of some unseen energy shone down on a pallid face of apprehension and hidden uncertainty. Just as they shown on the young Trill, they shown on a man who'd seen the faces of the past. A man who had seen the centuries of old through the eyes of more than nine ferrymen, right up until his sudden and violent end. There were so many life lessons that probably could have kept the more villainous emotions at bay, but Landon apparently lacked them. His face turned to the side as he looked upon the cold remains of the man beside him. The white hospital beds held them next to one another before the surgery was to take place, and Landon was about to receive a gift and a burden. Few Trill had the joyous pleasure and stony determination to reach this point. Landon had his doubts about himself, but there were those who would disagree with him.

The man beside him was still alive as far as the monitors were concerned. A plethora of tubes and connective instruments kept his body just charged enough to keep the symbiont from dying. His body was still just as lifeless as anyone else would be, however, had they been impaled by a Jem'Hadar blade. Landon had spent a moment imagined what it must have been like for Neyes. The symbiont at least. What must it be like to be stabbed in the chest? To die... yet continue living on in a new host. It had happened at least eight times before. The deaths were all different, from what he was told. Most of natural causes. Landon still had to wonder what it must have been like to die, then come back to life again. Born again.

Soon he wouldn't need to wonder.

''Would he still love his family? Would the memories of all the others blot out what little he still clung to?''

"Landon, son, we're about to begin." The surgeon said, somewhere off on the far side of the surgical bay. Landon cringed as the man called him 'son'. A name he'd reserved only for his parents to call him.

He swallowed the urge to take the man's slight personally, and clenched his jaw in preparation.

The procedure took just under an hour, and he'd been settled down next to the man he was about to know far more intimately for upwards of twenty minutes. It was unnerving to be next a dead person. It brought up thoughts of what his family's bodies were going through. It was morbid, and
painful. He wanted it to be over. He wanted to be new, someone else. He wanted to be someone who understood more about why this had happened to him. He wanted to be the wise and seamlessly graceful joined Trill that he'd imagined he would be, unfettered by feelings that normally trip and fumble the less fortunate intellectuals of his race. He wanted to be someone else. Anyone.

''He'd dropped the PADD. It just dropped out of his hands. His fingers couldn't hold it after the Commander had given him the news. Shuttle accident. Mom. Dad. Tristan. They were killed instantly...''

A tear slipped a cold path down the crook of his eye, then tumbled down an icy line of forced torture. Landon felt it pass over his skin and collect at the bottom of the water-proof bed lining. Stuck between it's previous owner and the elements.

"Okay. Nurse let's begin."...

A hypo-spray touched his neck. Landon's heart slowed. It's steady rhythm faded into a steady and enveloping darkness. Landon looked with tired eyes as the anesthetic's freezing hands took their hold, and gazed once more upon the face of the man. Taylor Neyes.

He felt his head press firmly against the bed's pillow, and he drifted into unconsciousness. Soon he'd leave the name Irelle behind, and take his place as a Neyes. The eleventh in the line of hosts to bear the name...

----

"Protect our flank!" An explosion ripped across the rocks near Taylor's head as he spoke. He cringed and wiped some blood from his brow. "We have to maintain this position or the enemy will push us too back to maintain a stable defense!" Several other marines near him nodded and resumed
firing into the mist. Taylor needed to check on the repair team taking care of the damage to his troops transport. He hurried along through the trees, keeping his phaser rifle aimed and ready. Every crack of a twig or rustle of the canopy made the hairs on his neck strike out like knives. In the distance he could hear weapons fire and trees falling in the battle, a scream every now and then. The attack had come from nowhere. They were on mission when someone fired tricobalt devices in their path. Really, they were lucky they weren't incinerated immediately. The concussive explosion tore through their engines like butter and sent them careening to crash on the surface of this marshy planet. Taylor didn't know how long repairs would take, but he was banking on just long enough for them to evacuate back into space before more of these attackers came to help their angry friends. He wasn't in charge, not really. Their commanding officer was injured and unconscious on the transport. He was just the runner, keeping information going. Communications didn't seem to work here, so it was necessary to have someone keeping everyone up to date, and Taylor volunteered. He didn't mind, he liked a good fight.

A hand pushed against his face, crushing him against the wall. Every muscle in his body was begging to be set free, but he couldn't get a good hold. There was no getting out of this. "Stop! Please!" He cried. But his assailant wasn't letting up. Another strike pounded against his side. The crushing force vibrated up through his ribs, and one gave way under the blo-

'''SNAP'''

The crack behind him made Taylor whip around and catch an enemy soldier coming in behind him. As quickly as he saw him, the soldier rolled and shot three charges into the trees as Taylor threw himself to the ground, then opened fire and caught the bastard right in the gut. Taylor sighed as he held still for a few more moments. But it didn't help him. He distinctly saw 5 more coming right for him, at a jogging pace. Taylor could either bolt the 400 yards to the ship or stay put and hope against reason they wouldn't see him. Neither choice really appealed to him, and he cursed the federation for being so kind and generous, placing him in this damned situation. So he decided to hop to his feet and run, at full spe-

Landon rubbed his kid-brother's head under his palm, messing it up hopelessly, smiling mischievously as it was tossed about his head. "LANDON! AW WHAT?! Stop! Come on! XID'DGAI!" Tristan's arms shot up to defend his precious hair-do. That morning's ritual must have taken him more than an hou-

'''SNAP'''

Blue blurry flashes shot past him in the forest. They ripped open the sides of trees and made chips of wood explode into his path. Catching a foot by a tree he spun around and layed down several shots and a wide beam phaser blast into the woods behind him. Taylor heard several yells and screams coming from where he had just fired. Satisfied he'd gotten some of them he turned sharply to continue running.

A second later a surge of cold froze his entire body. He tensed up in every muscle he had. Staring him in the face was a grotesque creature, and it smelled like something burnt and rotten. Also, in his hand was a knife that he'd plunged into Taylor's chest.
The world began to blur. Then he started to fall back, his legs giving out from under him. Taylor screamed in his head to get up and run, but he felt so cold and so tired. The blur suddenly shimmered to a blue haze that skittered all over. A transporter.

And then the world fell out.

----

A world of air rushed into Landon's lungs as he shot up, a sudden and treacherous gasp the only thing he could hear as his eyes shot open. Reality and dreams throbbed just beyond him. Pulsing and fighting for control of his attention. His hands immediately snapped to his chest, clutching it desperately, trying to remove the knife. The knife. Where was the knife?! The waking world smashing into his own in a thunderous explosion. Fast. So fast. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt every second tick off like an eternity of some alien world he didn't understand. Sight. Smell. Sound. Taste. Touch. And something ...else. Something else was here! It was all a thousand times more bright, intense, loud and unbelievably irritating as any other time he could remember. He could practically feel the different patterns of air in the room brushing against his skin... and the strange lingering intuition that someone else was here...

The room was dark except for a small light in the corner, which illuminated a smaller box of personal belongings. Wait...

Footsteps... He could hear them. He recognized them. 110 meters away. 106. 95. He could count the distance without even thinking.

He shot out of bed and took a fighting stance he could neither name, nor remember learning. Yet it felt as natural to him as standing.

"Landon!" Someone called, as the lights came on. The figure of a man appeared in the doorway. It was sharp and clear, this being. But he couldn't quite make him out well enough to name him. He knew his name though. He did... Who was he?

"Yju'da! Neixuingya eas illth'jxi!" Landon hissed. His fingers clenched tightly around his sweating fist. This wasn't happening right. He knew he should know what was going on. He knew what should be happening... but he couldn't name it. WHO ELSE WAS HERE?!

The man had the features of someone he knew. Someone he felt like he could trust, but he was just so confused. Where was he? Where was his family. "Landon! It's me... Greg. Calm down. You're fine. You're on Trill. They brought me here because your joining took, but the melding didn't go as they expected. You're experiencing something known as uh," he paused for a moment, thinking, "...y'djai... or something weird like that. I don't speak Trill so whatever, but come on, man. You're Landon. You're fine. You got our of surgery four days ago." His expression was expectant, as if he thought somehow his words were going to help. But Landon couldn't understand what language he was speaking in.

Landon's lips pressed together. Greg. He knew Greg. Yet he knew this man too. Greg was a man he'd traded with over the past 4 yours on the USS Ferragut. They'd taken his ship in. Helped make repairs. Wait... no. In the Academy? He went to the Academy? Starfleet...

His features softened and his guard dropped. This was Greg. It was 2406. But... it was 2279... he could remember it like yesterday... his dry lips parted and his scratchy voice managed to say the only thing he could remember. "...greg"

It was all he could manage before the pulsing senses in his head overtook him. Pushing him back into the dark.

== [SD 240605.01] :: Trill Symbiosis Recovery Clinic ==

The speckled shapes around him, moving absently as he moved his head, began to retake their rightful focus. A few people stood at the foot of his bed, and they simply stood. Gregory smiled a little, wearing his blue science uniform. Landon's head was still throbbing, just as it did every morning when he woke up, and he groaned a little in protest as he quickly realized he was slowly ascending from his comfortable sleep. The sheets of his bed wrinkled around his legs and moved with him while he stretched a little. Every time he woke up he had this feeling that he was backed by an army. He was supported by an unseen gathering of rallying minds that no one else had. It was them against the world.

This morning was a little different.

"Landon Irelle. Er. Excuse me. Landon... Neyes. Good morning. I'm counselor Odalla." The woman standing next to Greg said, she then motioned to the taller man opposite her, "and this is Admiral Edrayu. We're here to see if you're feeling well enough to be fit for duty."

Landon scoffed. "Sweety there's been a monster eating half my dinners for a weeks or so. I've got a jxuxi'o of a headache and you wa-," Landon grinned and wiped a little eye booger away, not looking as he flicked it off to the side, "oh hey, Greg. You bring these eudgj'ids in here?"

Greg stifled an awkward chuckle as he looked to the side, "We're here to help Donny."

''Don't call me that.''

''Oh relax. He's being friendly.''

The few days prior had been a spectacle of some dark days in Landon's memory, which had admittedly become much more vast, and largely unexplored. Landon could tell that Greg wasn't as comfortable around him as he used to be. Why should he be? Landon wasn't really Donny anymore, he felt like a phased out Donny with the tweaking of an entirely new person. It was as if Landon Irelle was someone he used to remember being, but now he had stepped into the body of someone else. Someone new and bold, courageous, strong, sure of himself. He had memories that were old and troubling. Happy and new. Loving and dark. They appeared to him like any other memory would, except they were through the eyes of someone he wasn't. Days that had passed in pain were burned into the forefront of his mind, and the happy ones jumped around as he was reminded of things he hadn't even realized he knew. For instance Greg's hair looked like a style that was popular on Bajor about 50 or so years ago. Landon himself had never set foot on Bajor, even though it wasn't that far from Trill. Toran, however, had been to Bajor numerous times. He traded there on a regular basis. Landon could remember this one time when-

"Mr. Irelle?"

Landon's eyes snapped back as he was reminded there was actually company around. He couldn't be drifting off into his newfound universe. "Neyes."

"Oh yes, excuse me." The Admiral smiled a little, remembering his mistake. "We're here to talk to you about how you'd feel about being reinstated to active duty next week. You've spent the better part of the last couple weeks on Trill, and the Symbiosis Commission has assured me that you're through the worst of your condition."

The counselor held up a graceful hand. Neyes looked at her as she pursed her lips a little, inserting herself to no doubt correct some ill-informed choice of words on the Admiral's part. Landon smiled a little to himself as he thought about what it must be like for the young woman, to be in the shadow of a man who no doubt has had little recent experience being the guy out of his element. He was surely an excellent leader, but he was no official on the matters of Landon's journey since his journey. The woman smiled a little, giving the Admiral a soft and apologetic look.

Landon grinned to himself as he watched the two interact in that moment. Hilarious.

"Sir. What I think you mean to tell the Ensign is since you're doing better," she looked to Neyes, "we'd like to extend our congratulations on your successful joining. Once you feel you're ready, we have some open positions we feel you might like to try." She took a few steps past Greg and the Admiral, and held out a wide document PADD.

''OH! Well she smells nice. I've never been able to find a perfume that fit me tha-''

''I don't wear perfume anymore, my dear.''

''Well I used to...''

His lips shaped into a little face of interest, and his eyebrows raised slightly, Landon took the PADD and nodded gratefully to the counselor. She really did smell nice. After taking the PADD, he needed only a moment to read practically everything on it. There were only two assignments on the list after all. It did irk him a little to see such a short list of choices, especially given how skilled he was. Yet he clung to humility as he smiled diplomatically back at the two stooges Starfleet had sent not for Neyes' benefit, but for the benefit of the Federation/Trill relations. Landon was carrying one of the more ancient symbionts, and that meant that his position in Starfleet was subject to a little more bureaucratic nonsense. The worm wasn't going to win him any promotions, and it certainly didn't mean he was suddenly experienced enough to start acting higher than his status as an Ensign. Even if he felt a little differently.

"Ah. I see I have so many options available to me." He quipped.

The Admiral shifted a little. "We felt you might like to start off slowly. Given your rough ride since the joining, you must certainly understand. We could have simply ordered you into your previous post, but the good counselor suggested we add a deep-space assignment to the list." He looked down and out the corner of his eye at her.

"Since you have so much starship experience as a symbiont, we thought you might benefit just as much from a science vessel assignment as you would your star base shuttle pilot assignment." She added, nodding a little and motioning with her hands. To Landon, they looked like they were trying not to insult him. Normally he would have expected two people this young to treat him with the respect he deserved, but then he had to remember that he was really just 23 years old in this host. She seemed too ready to point out the benefits to him, and to make sure he felt included in this obvious bullshit display of interest in his life. The Admiral was all to ready to simply defend his position in the most clean cut and directive way possible, with a little positive spin.

Neyes rolled his eyes.

"Please. Just send me into space. Getting holed up in a moon-sized cage of traffic chaos isn't really on my to-do list right now, so I'll let you torpedo me into the depths of beyond."

"Mr. Neyes, if you feel lik-" She started.

"Save it, ma'am." Landon winced. "You're giving me a headache with this squishy-feely crap. I want the assignment on the Melbourne. Confederate fleet or no." He said, moving his right hand around in the air to silence her. His slid his feet over the edge of his bed and let them fall downwards onto the floor. It was cold, but still the first time he'd let himself out of bed in a few days. It was relieving to be back on solid ground for a change, even if there were two very annoying people mucking it all up for him...

"Greg, let's go." Neyes said, making his way over to the doorway. "It was nice to meet you both." Landon gave a passing glance at both the Admiral and the counselor.

Greg's brow shot up as he tried to figure out what to do, but Landon simply took his hand and the two left out of the doorway into the clinic, leaving behind the others. The counselor, however, wasn't ready to be dismissed from Neyes' attention.

"Ensign Neyes! You're still under my supervision for the next week!" She called out after him, hopping along awkwardly behind him as she tried to steady herself on her high-heeled shoes. "We need to discuss your placement and what you'll be doing for the remainder of your recovery period."

Landon kept on moving down the hall, not even turning to face the woman. "I've got some things to take care of. You're welcome to come if you'd like." And indeed he did. Landon had spent the better part of the last week piecing together samples of thoughts and memories that made his family's death a little more suspicious than he was comfortable with. With a few new perspectives to take into account, he felt like something was amiss within his past business contacts, and that they needed a talking to.

"Landon, where are we going?" Greg asked, following along side him.

The Trill's face softened a little. "I have questions, Gregory."

"Questions?"

"Yeah. But first we're gonna pick up my old ride."

== [SD 240605.01] :: Trill Djusih Landing Dock ==

The three sat in a triangle in the back of a crowded transport. It's noisy atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for Landon's concentration, and his mind had been reeling since he'd woken up almost two weeks ago. The new exposure to a variety of viewpoints was intoxicating and he couldn't seem to ignore the thoughts that pecked away inside his mind. There was something wrong with what happened to his family. It kept repeating over and over and over again, as if his subconscious mind knew something, but wasn't able to simply tell him.

Shuttle accident? His shuttles worked perfectly. They always had. No, this was something else. Someone had either neglected to tell him something or he was missing a big part of the puzzle.

Maybe he didn't know, and he was simply going insane as so many joined Trill had done in the past. He wasn't exactly the first choice for the Neyes joining, even though he was an acceptable candidate. After waking up for the first time in the hospital, he was told that Taylor was too far from any of the other choice hosts, and he was the only one near enough to the symbiont to safely transfer. It was a shame to accept such an honorable position, knowing that he wasn't really the first choice, but that didn't detract from his current situation. He was on a hunt for the facts. He had a feeling it would transform into a hunt for a murderer soon enough.

For the most part, the three had been sitting in a relative silence as they made their way across the vast launchpads that covered a great majority of the eastern coastline on this continent. Greg had been actively watching the massive starships and transports lifting off and touching down as their little shuttle whizzed past. He admired Greg for his unflinching support, but worried what would come of their friendship.

"Mr. Neyes. Since you won't answer any of my official questions regarding your health, I'd like to ask you about-", Counselor Odalla started.

"I'm fine," said Landon matter-of-fact, his eyes moved to meet hers, "and we're almost there." Every word effected their intended purpose of silencing her. Landon had his uses for officials and counselors, but answering their incessant inquiries and dodging their probing analysis was a path he needed to avoid right now. He didn't need the distraction, and she really didn't need to know all the things she was asking. It wasn't like anyone was going to read her report on him once she finished it, anyway. The Starfleet bureaucracy was obvious and penetrating. While he admired the human race's drive to be the go-to example to the rest of the galaxy, he didn't necessarily agree that their ideals were the best way to handle every situation. In this case, he needed the counselor to be his keycard, if she was willing. If she wasn't... he had other means of getting into places he shouldn't be going.

Odalla raised an eyebrow in annoyance, and returned to her PADD.

Greg pulled his eyes off the bay window glass and finally turned to face them. His face was it's usual "big-brother" kind of look, but he'd obviously missed a day or so of shaving, because both the counselor and Neyes had noticed some obvious stubble coming in around the man's jaw-line. "Donny, what are we going to do once we get your shuttle? You say you have some contacts in your old line of business, but how do we know you'll find what information you need? For all we know these people are dangerous."

"Why does everyone need to know what's going on all the time?" Landon asked, irritated.

Greg shot him a look, "Would you rather we leave?!"

"It's not that," Neyes' voice thrummed down from it's angry flare to a resolute and diplomatic tone, "but can't you trust I know what I'm doing? I'd have thought we'd have known each other long enough for you to do at least that."

"But you're not really Landon anymore, right?!" Greg's frustration began to show in pangs.

"Oh course I am! How dare you sta-"

"Gentlemen!" Odalla held out a hand on either side of her, quelling the heated exchange. It was embarrassing enough having to report that she was chasing a young and recently joined host around, but to be subjected to public transportation... really. "This isn't going to get us anything useful, and I suggest you both take a moment to reflect on why you're upset. I know I have been."

Neyes sighed, and looked back over his shoulder. She was right about one thing, they weren't going to get anywhere fighting with each other. In his retreat, Landon stole a look at Greg, who had turned away and continued looking out the window. It must have been hard, he thought to himself, for Greg to see his friend going through so much. In many respects Landon wasn't really the same man Greg had grown up with. In many ways they had less in common now than they ever did before.

How sad...

Oh stop it, he'll get over it.

"All passengers departing at L'iaru Station, please disembark." The overhead PA announced.

The three gathered the small bags they'd brought with them and made their way off the transport. In their short flight, they'd covered about half the distance of the Trill homeworld. A little fleeting moment of nostalgia struck at Neyes as the wind on the platform whipped up at his clothes and hair. The feeling was something he'd come to remember fondly, and he smiled a little despite himself as they crossed the platform to the elevator that would take them down the structure to the small craft loading dock. He'd made the arrangements for his ship to be moved and prepped for launch while they were on the shuttle. He had told them the truth when he'd said he still had contacts in his old business.

It was the people he didn't know that were going to have to explain themselves to him.

"You're in for a treat, buddies." He grinned and made a sweeping gesture at the entrance of the lift. Inviting them in.

Both the Counselor and Greg looked at each other quizzically. Greg looked confused, "Buddies?"

"What?" Landon asked, also confused.

"What in good names is 'buddies'?" Odalla straightened, beginning to doubt the stability of her new patient. She regarded him with a analytical and judgmental eye, and made note that he may have started to invent his own language in order to deal with his conflicted feelings. She'd certainly seen it before.d

Neyes rolled his eyes. "Just get in."

Once they'd shuffled into the elevator, he spent the next few minutes describing his vessel to them in radiant detail. While he spoke, it seemed like his worries as well as his dark cloud were lifted for just a few short moments. The description of his vessel was one of fantastical amazement and jolly good old times. He recounted several stories about the ship, including a few about other ships and hosts that Greg had never heard before.

Once they stepped down onto the final platform, both Landon's travelling companions looked up in awe. Before them, directly across a huge floor space was a massive gateway door that led out into the atmosphere of the planet. Colossal support structured held the frame of the enormous hangar and ships flew overhead with plenty of room to spare. Landon moved with intense purpose as he bid them to follow his closely. Being here again was making his heart race and his ears pop. Part of him had thought that his ship would lie here in the bowels of this building for the remainder of his lifetime.

"Almost...", Landon felt like his heart would tear itself from his chest. "There!"

Once again at long last. His home away from home.

== [SD 240605.01] :: Trillian Civilian Ship (TCS) Nodlan ==

After showing them his ship, which in a moment of uncertain cleverness he'd named the "Nodlan", they promptly launched in the direction of some unknown destination. Neyes knew exactly where he was going, but he had refused to divulge that to his colleagues.

They hadn't been in space for an hour before the counselor started in on her tirade about protocol again. As the collected and oh-so-proper voice rang out its disapproval of his activities, Landon's eyes slowly rolled back and closed in annoyance. He was resisting the urge to lock her in the sleeping quarters, and every second he didn't was a second he regretted. She had first found the ship itself to be something less than appropriate for someone of her status. As if being a counselor afforded her special treatment on a non-sanctioned mission of his own personal interest. Secondly, she protested his continuing unwillingness to be a part of her counseling activities. Now... he was flying too fast. As if he had any control over the dynamics of warp travel.

"Please." He sighed. "Just... Please, Counselor." Landon's voice was tired and withholding.

"You are getting a little out of control, Odalla."

The Trill counselor immediately let her frustration be known as she slammed down her PADDs onto the rear controls. "HOW am I supposed to get any work done with you, Ensign?! You refuse to talk about anything other than this shuttle, and even then you color it with alien terms neither one of us can understand? Have you forgotten the Trill language altogether?" She fumed, arms now crossed over her chest.

Landon smiled, probably with more satisfaction than he should have. "Actually, I probably know it better than you do now. I just don't care to show it off to everyone."

Her mouth opened in protest, stricken by his back-handed comment.

With a resigned roll of his eyes, Neyes let her attitude slide. There was no point in exchanging repartee with her for the next few days. He felt silly trying to speak his feelings to her, and especially in front of his closest friend. Greg was really alien to all this. Odalla and Neyes were both from Trill. She was particularly 'comfortable', being a counselor who handles newly joined officers on a regular basis. Greg had to at least feel a little out of place, and Landon didn't want to make it any worse for him. He felt it wasn't necessary, and anything she had to say to him was something he was going to figure out on his own eventually anyway. He'd managed for the last 700 years or so without a baby-sitter...

"I'm here, but someone's watching everything I do. The weird part is that it feels like it's me who's watching. I'm watching myself. It's hard to explain. How's that? That helpful? Can you get some work done now? We've got another four hours of traveling ahead of us, so you'd probably be better off if you made it stretch." He looked over his shoulder towards her in the back. He gave her a warning and incredulous wink as she stared back at him.

Odalla remained silent for a moment as she gathered her devices and snapped back into her professional mode of attitude, suddenly charged with renewed purpose. "Oh well, I see you've wanted to talk all this time." Her voice rang with an self-important slight. "I knew I'd eventually manage to get something out of you."

"You don't have to try that hard." Landon said as he continued to work the controls. "You just have to try not to be such a bitch. After that I'm sure you'll go places." He smiled.

Greg snorted a quick laugh and immediately stifled his surprise at hearing Landon say 'bitch'.

An uncomfortable silence filled the cabin, with both the men realizing they may have crossed some unseen line. Odalla was many things, but meaningfully hurtful wasn't one of them. Her demeanor slowly solidified into a stonewall, as she quietly excused herself from the main cabin and moved into one of the aft quarters. The doors slid shut with an almost palpable attitude, and both Landon and Greg sat in the quiet of their thoughts for a moment before either one made any kind of motion. With no one really knowing what he was up to, Landon understood why tensions would be high. Greg was tagging along out of trust and loyalty to his friend, and Odalla felt pride in doing whatever was necessary to do her job. If that meant she followed her charge on a crazy space ride to an unknown destination, so be it. He respecter her for that, but it wasn't going to be enough to get in his way.

Greg stood and walked up to the co-pilot's controls at the front of the small bridge. Taking the seat, he activated the panel and tapped a few buttons. Neyes already knew what was going on. "I can't tell you where we're going, Greg."

"But why, Donny-

"Don't call me that."

Landon looked over when he heard Greg slam his fist down onto the control panel. It fizzled then went black, a similarly dark and frustrated expression covered Greg's face. "That's the most immense load of bullshit about this so far, Landon."

Neyes looked down then continued to work the controls, deciding he'd just let Greg have this one.

"I'm your best friend. I have been since we met at the mixer when we were accepted to the Academy. You were weird, unsure and sickeningly ambitious. Now you're cocky and arrogant and know how to do things no one should know. You're name's different and you don't act the same. You're still Donny to me, though, Landon. You're always going to be fucking Donny until the day you die. You've been Neyes for barely a week, practically. I know you don't feel the same, or whatever, but I don't understand. Shouldn't someone like you just GET that I need to hold onto my friend? Aren't you wise beyond all measure and know the secrets of living forever? I need you to keep being Donny. Or else we're not friends anymore. We might as well be strangers if I can't at least hold onto that, don't you see that?!"

The words stung a little. For what he knew, Landon was familiar with just about every feeling someone could know. They still hurt though, even after everything he could recall happening to him. This never got easier. "You're right, Greg."

"Goddamn right I'm right." Greg said, rubbing his hand angrily.

A little grin turned up the corner of Neyes' mouth. His voice caught for a moment as he tried to compose himself. "Call me whatever you want." He turned at looked straight at his friend. His best friend. "I'm still me. Realistically, anyway. I remember that guy you're talking about, and I feel like he's a part of who I am. But... Greg. I know things..." Neyes' eyes belied a hint of fear as he spoke, as if the words would strike out at him for simply uttering the sentence. "I know so much about things I can't even begin to describe to you. There are secrets about the world we live in... I can't be the same guy you knew before. I'm going to be Neyes whether either one of us can handle it or not. Sometimes I wish I could go back home and forget about all this, but we both know it's not possible and we have to deal with the way things have happened.

"I'm still me though, and we're still us. Greg and Donny, unstoppable force of nightmares." Landon grinned, holding out his hand in a familiar fashion.

Greg looked at him for a long moment. The look on his face made Landon think perhaps his expressions of honesty weren't enough to win his friend over. They had been friends for a good deal of Landon's life so far, and he felt like it was important to at least try to hold onto something stable right now. Partly because he wanted it, and partly because he needed it.

With a sigh, Greg also held out his hand. They shook like normal, then proceeded with their secret handshake. A wiggle of the fingers, some odd motions and a whistle. It was odd, but it had almost always made Landon laugh. This time was no different.

== The Five ==

A small group of 5 symbionts who are the closest thing to a relative equivalent of 'royal' elders among the symbiont race. They are the oldest of the symbionts that are known to exist, and have a seated interest in the happenings of the Trill government and its people. While they are usually cast in roles of great importance, even more so than usual for a joined Trill, they are deeply rooted in mystery. Some believe them to be the first to develop finer mental skills in joining. Others believe them nothing more than the oldest of the line.

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very seriously and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

Like many well-aged symbionts, Non-Trill Telepathic contact is strongly discouraged, as unforeseen side-effects for both the host, symbiont, and telepath could be experienced. Many races struggle to traverse the complex and highly sensitive mental structure of elder symbionts, as they themselves communicate electro-telepathically. While all hosts are trained to wall themselves from telepathic contact, Trill are not specifically able to block a mental probing or invasion. [[The Five]] are known to be particularly dangerous however.

See: [[The Five]]

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very seriously and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very seriously and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

''File Transfer Incoming...''

==== Jazni Neyes ====

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

[[File:Rob00.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Rob Lansine]], Landon's best friend.]]

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

=== Personality ===
Andrus is brash and cocky. He uses those as a cover up for his past and his own insecurities. Though once he gets to know you, his cockiness tends to tone down. He is easily upset when someone else touches him, nor does he touch anyone else unless he absolutely has to. He prefers to be left alone, and with in a matter of moments will have some kind of nick name. He also tends to be very quick to anger, and will bait other people into a fight. He has no fear of weapons such as daggers or other bladed items, nor does he fear a phaser or any other related items to that nature. He will attempt to scare people off through his words, and if that fails through his actions.

=== Life Before Starfleet ===
[[File:Jemmamorganth.png|Jemma Morganth|left|thumb|150px|Jemma Morganth, Andrus' Mother]]

On September 7th, 2394 Lon and Jemma Morganth gave birth to a set of identical twin boys. Tam Morganth was born first, and was afforded the name of Lon's father. Andrus was born twenty minutes after his brother, and named after Jemma's father. With most sets of twins Tam and Andrus shared a bond. The two boys were inseperable, though unlike most twins Lon was able to tell them apart. Each one had his own unique personality. Tam was quiet Andrus was loud.

As the boys grew, to an age to be accepted into school. Lon and Jemma thought it best to seperate the boys. At five years old, each boy was sent to his own school. They continued to keep the boys in seperate schools. When they both turned thirteen, they entered into adolescence and began to learn how to control the ever growing telepathic skills each harbored.

The one thing Lwaxanna Hagen, their instructor, noticed is that Tam was faster at learning how to control his ability. Andrus took much longer. This was also the time that Andrus began to rebel against authorative figures. In late 2407, Andrus overheard a conversation between his parents and Lwaxanna Hagen. What he heard would forever scar him, figuratively and literally. This was the first time Andrus ran away from home, and began to cut himself. It was at this time that his parents began to treat both boys very different. Tam completed his training right before their fourteenth birthday, Andrus continued for another three months. [[File:Lonmorganth.png|Lon Morganth|right|thumb|150px|Lon Morganth, Andrus' Father]]

Tam became the prodigal son. Andrus on the other hand became an outcast. He began to loath his brother, and often times wished that he were an only child. Though this would never happen. He also came to despise his parents, and on multiple times ran away. Only to be returned by the local authorities.

At the age of fifteen, Tam was already a year ahead of Andrus in school and their parents did whatever the could to expand Tam's education. Andrus on the other hand was not given the same treatment. Andrus became more rebellious and began to use sharp objects to cut himself with. Thinking that he his family would be better off without him. He also began to over compensate at school by becoming cocky. Thus driving any potential friends away.

When he was sixteen years old, he had cut his abdomen with a hegh'bat that his father had acquired. He was placed in solitary confinement and observed at a medical facility in Rixx. Doctor Kestra Elbrun, the Chief Psychologist informed Andrus' parents of their options. They could either have their son committed to a psychiatric facility, or he could spend the remainder of his sixteenth year there and enlist in Starfleet.

Andrus' parents for the first time discussed this with Andrus and Andrus decided he would enlist when he turned seventeen. He knew that it would be the only way to get away from his family.
[[File:Tammorganth2.png|Tam Morganth|left|thumb|150px|Tam Morganth, Andrus' Twin Brother]]

=== Life in Starfleet ===
On September 7th, 2410; Andrus was shuttled to San Francisco. There he was admitted to Boot Camp. Within a month of being there Andrus was sent to the brig for insubordinate behavior. He had gotten in a fight with the Chief Petty Officer over his teams training. Andrus received a broken nose and a split lip. The Chief Petty Officer ended up in a coma for the duration of Andrus stay in boot camp.

During boot camp, Andrus showed great abilities in hand to hand combat as well as weapons training. During one of his training routines with a bat'leth a fellow Trainee began to taunt Andrus. To no surprise to the Master Chief Petty Officer, Andrus picked another fight with the Trainee, Andrus was cut on his leg with the other Trainee's bat'leth but showed no sign of stopping as he nearly killed his fellow Trainee.

Again Andrus was sent to brig for unruly conduct. He spent two weeks this time in the brig isolated from others, when he returned he was expected to catch up to where his fellow crew was at in training. About a month later Andrus somehow graduated from boot camp and was moved for additional training in Non-Commissioned Officer Command. His Senior Officers felt he was to much of a risk to do anything else but administrative work.

He spent about a month there before being reassigned to the U.S.S. Charon. Andrus was not please with the thought of someone else dictating his life, but none the less accepted. On his shuttle ride to the U.S.S. Charon, Andrus met [[Vae Dwellon]], a newly commissioned Ensign. Or as he calls her 'Stick in the Mud'.

Apon arrival of the Charon, Andrus reported for duty to [[Shiarrael t`Rehu|Captain Shiarrael t'Rehu]], where he quickly got into an argument of wits. He was quickly placed in the brig for an indeterminate amount of time.

[[Image:Charondia.jpg|thumb|right|Luna Class Diagram.]]
The Luna-class was designed by Dr. Xin Ra-Havreii, of Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars, and initially conceived for scientific exploration of the Gamma Quadrant following the discovery of the Bajoran Wormhole. The project was sidelined by the impending threat from the Dominion, then restarted following the end of the Dominion War.

The Luna-class ships were the top of the line in Starfleet's scientific and exploratory pursuits on behalf of the United Federation of Planets. Each had an average crew of the 350 individuals and was approximately 450 meters long. Their shuttlebays were reminiscent of the old Constitution-class shuttlebays, having a more rounded opening door. They also featured a longer "runway" for shuttles as they entered and exited the ship.

All Luna-class starships were named after moons. The first production lot was named after moons in the Sol system.

[[Image:Sensorpod.jpg|thumb|left|The Charon's Sensor Pod.]]
The sensor pod located on top of the USS Charon’s saucer section contains several complicated and advanced components. Most notably the sensor pod is equipped with extremely powerful scanners that enable it to create accurate representations of stellar bodies. It feeds these representations into the Stellar Cartography lab where a three dimensional holographic representation of the surrounding space can be displayed.

Aside from its Stellar Cartography use the sensor pod is able to do chemical and organic analysis of stellar phenomenon from a large distance.

Due to the sophisticated machinery in the sensor pod only the Chief Science Officer is permitted to realign the sensor settings.

[[Image:Charondia.jpg|thumb|right|Luna Class Diagram.]]
The Luna-class was designed by Dr. Xin Ra-Havreii, of Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars, and initially conceived for scientific exploration of the Gamma Quadrant following the discovery of the Bajoran Wormhole. The project was sidelined by the impending threat from the Dominion, then restarted following the end of the Dominion War.

The Luna-class ships were the top of the line in Starfleet's scientific and exploratory pursuits on behalf of the United Federation of Planets. Each had an average crew of the 350 individuals and was approximately 450 meters long. Their shuttlebays were reminiscent of the old Constitution-class shuttlebays, having a more rounded opening door. They also featured a longer "runway" for shuttles as they entered and exited the ship.

All Luna-class starships were named after moons. The first production lot was named after moons in the Sol system.

===Early Childhood===

Born on September 4th of 2486 at Starfleet Medical Adjunct Terra 12 in Minneapolis Robert grew up in what most consider the typical Starfleet family. His father [[Joseph Lansine]] served aboard the USS Pandora as the Chief Science Officer while his mother worked from home as a Starfleet Medical Researcher. Growing up in a family with connections in Starfleet as long ago as the NX-02 Columbia, Robert was ingrained with a strong feeling of commitment to his family's line of officers.

During his elementary schooling days Robert and his family lived the typical Terran lifestyle and enjoyed their position in the community. Robert's mother was a respected researcher and his father was one of the highest regarded researchers for the Daystrom Institute. Robert and his sister Rebecca attended local schools and participated in many activities--by all considerations the Lansine family was 'normal'.

===Trials===

The fairy tale would come to an end in the summer of 2499 when Joseph Lansine was indicted for treason by the Starfleet Judge Advocate General's office. The Lansine family was ravaged by the constant attention from the press, Lisa was forced to relocate back home with the children away from Starfleet Headquarters and both kids changed schools the next fall. Starfleet, concerned with the threats the family was receiving, attached a security contingent with each of them during the remainder of the trial. During the next two months Lisa, Robert and Rebecca would live under lock and key away from Joseph and the rest of their old life.

The trial concluded in a bit of fanfare when the Lansine family was allowed to attend the final hearing. When the guilty verdict was handed down after a final deliberation between the three JAG Commanders a look of terror swept across their faces--their father would no longer be able to live on any Federation member planet of colony and would be dishonorably discharged from his service in Starfleet. Rob, only 13 at the time of the trial, was devastated. The man he'd admired his entire life was no a criminal. The emotional roller-coaster that followed the trial ultimately split the family apart, Rob leaving with his father to Orion IV, a colony outside Federation jurisdiction, while Lisa and Rebecca stayed on Earth.

===Off World===

[[Image:Rob2.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Rob leaving his father on [[Orion IV.]]]]

It only took a few weeks for the Lansine boys to arrange their change of residence and only four days at Warp 8 to reach their new home. [[Orion IV]] was exactly as Rob had pictured it when his father had told him the location of their home: dirty, riddled with crime, and in almost every comprehensible way, the opposite from what Rob had grown up in on Earth.

The first few months proved to be more than difficult for Rob who often found himself on the wrong side of a threat or the victim of petty theft. However, despite his problems early on Rob would soon begin melding into the way of life on Orion IV as he found a man named [[Walz]]. Walz was a human ten or so years younger than Rob's estranged father and he dealt in a variety of goods and services in and around Orion controlled space--some less legal (in the terms of the Federation) than others. Unbeknownst to his father, Rob began working for Walz in a small capacity in 240003 and worked his way up through the crime lord's cartel of illegality for two years until Rob accidentally stumbled upon information from a Federation woman traveling through the sector. Pieces of information regarding Joseph Lansine's trial were declassified as early as one year after their departure from Earth and after he was informed by the woman of what his father had actually been charged of it infuriated him: his father hadn't only been charged with treason but for the negligent homicide of six of his former colleagues.

Without returning home that evening Rob boarded the Federation transport that the woman had come to Orion IV in and left the planet for good. Never speaking to his father or Walz again, Rob set out to redefine himself.

===Return to Earth and Starfleet Academy===

[[Image:Rob1.jpg|225px|thumb|right|Rob at the Academy.]]

After spending several months on several passenger and cargo vessels, Rob returned to Earth in the summer of 2402. Upon disembarking from the San Francisco space port Rob felt the urge to rush back home to his mother and sister. It took Rob two hours of walking around the terminal to clear his mind and decide to instead take what little things he had to an apartment complex he remembered an old friend lived at. The Academy Chateau was only three blocks from Starfleet Academy Headquarters, and Rob lived there, maintaing a small job at a coffee house to keep his landlord happy. Once the fall semester at the Academy began Rob began meeting dozens of eager cadets; a day didn't go bye that one of them didn't urge him to enroll. Each time Rob graciously declined, but below his bitter feelings toward Starfleet sat a desire to prove himself. His father's sins had defined him for the better part of his teenage years and now he was finally in a position to step out from beneath his shadow.

That fall Rob enrolled in a series of pre-academy courses designed to bring him up to speed with what he'd missed since leaving Earth. Despite having no formal schooling since junior high, Rob had managed to stay moderately stimulated on Orion IV through several different means. When the Spring semester began the next year Rob was accepted into the Academy and began an accelerated program to graduate with the class of his correct age. Through his own academic rigor and sleepless nights of studying, Rob graduated the Academy on 240812.05, taking only one and a half years to complete his three year program.

===USS Intrepid===

Upon graduating the Academy and passing all post-graduation formalities (including indepth background check and psychological evaluation) Rob was assigned to the USS Intrepid-D as an Assistant Security Offer on SD 240904.01. While serving onboard the Intrepid Rob received his officers commission, was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and promoted to the position of Chief of Security.

====Borg Conflict====

[[image:borgcube.jpg|thumb|left|The Borg Cube that attacked the Intrepid.]]

Only a few weeks into his first tour onboard a Starfleet vessel Rob and the rest of the Intrepid's crew were attacked by a Borg Cube during a mission to contact several Federation Scientists researching Borg Nanoprobes on a remote colony. During the battle Rob was injured when his turbolift dropped 15 decks. Before returning to duty the Intrepid's EMH demanded Rob wear a coritical monitor to track his neurological activity in case of a concussion or other lasting malady. The monitor was later used against the Cadet when the Borg used it as an interface into his mind, manipulating him to attack several members of the crew and nearly disable the ship's shield grid. Fortunately for the crew, Rob fought his way out from under the control of the Collective and severed his link to the Hive Mind.

In later investigations the Commanding Officer of the Intrepid Innovindil Valenar and Starfleet Command found Rob innocent for his attacks while under the Borg's influence.

====Walz Return ====

[[image:Lando&Rob.png|300px|thumb|right|Rob chose to betray the trust of his best friend [[Landon Neyes]] to shed light on his father's past in Starfleet.]]

[[image:Walz.jpg|300px|thumb|right|[[Walz]], a man without a lastname, or at least to Rob's knowledge. He was a moderate player in the Orion Syndicate and was Rob's handler while Rob lived on Orion IV. The two reunited in the summer of 2409 when Walz offered Rob a job spying on [[Landon Neyes]] in exchange for information about Rob's father.]]

'''For a detailed account of the following story please read:'''
*[[A Friendship Betrayed, Part I - Lansine & Neyes]]
*[[A Friendship Betrayed, Part II - Lansine & Neyes]]

Immediately after returning to Starbase Versailles for repairs following the conflict with the Borg Rob found himself face to face with [[Walz]], and though their relationship was a strange and at times troublesome, he was essentially Rob's second father during his father's self-destructive days on Orion IV. The two quickly caught up and Walz offered Rob a job, one similar to those he had completed during his teenage years on Orion IV, in exchange for information regarding his father's recent death and information regarding his prior work in Starfleet. Walz' proposition ended up requiring Rob to spy and essentially extort information from his best friend on the Intrepid [[Landon Neyes]]. Rob's plan to complete his mission while keeping Landon in the dark as to his identity ultimately proved to be too much as Rob was outed late in the mission.

Despite Landon discovering his identity Rob still got Walz' information from Landon (voluntarily). However, before Rob could deliver the information Walz' was confronted and killed by Lieutenant Alistar McKeon, the Intrepid's Intelligence officer who had prior history with the cabal leader. With no dealer, Rob never delivered Landon's information and the Ferengi who contracted Walz to retrieve it were never wise to Landon's secrets. At the conclusion of the mess McKeon gave Rob several files he'd been able to access with his security clearance within Starfleet Intelligence. Rob has sense used those files to begin to understand his father's secret life.

====Carida====

[[image:Carida.png|thumb|left| Orbital view of [[Carida]]. Cardassian occupied, once a Federation colony.]]

'''For a detailed account of this plot please read:'''
*[[Cardassian Assult on Carida, Part I - Lansine & Neyes]]

'''''and...'''''
*[[The Cardassian Occupation of Carida, Part I - Lansine & Neyes]]
*[[The Cardassian Occupation of Cardia, Part II - Lansine & Neyes]]

The Intrepid was assigned to evacuate Federation Colonists from the planet Cardia after diplomatic efforts with the Cardassian Union yielded the planet to them. However, the Cardassian forces in orbit attacked two days earlier than agreed and ultimately destroyed the USS-Intrepid-D leaving Rob and 47 other crew members stranded behind enemy lines with over 1,000 colonists. [[Landon Neyes]] attempted, but ultimately failed to rescue Rob and the other crewmen on 241001.21 and was forced to leave them all behind.

Rob exhibits a extreme distaste of dishonesty. Having endured a childhood filled with lies and improper parental guidance he must find things out for himself first hand and rarely assume something to be true without evidence. This has been somewhat of a vice for Rob during his academy years but has also helped him in his Security studies. His professional future will very likely deal with discerning what the truth of the situation is, and I feel Robert will be more than able to come to the correct conclusion -/\- End Log -/\-

Lneyes: /* Information */

| leader = Elected Trill Official
| status = Colonial Paradise World
}}

==Information==

Home of Charon's Chief Engineer, [[Landon Neyes]]. This world is a lush paradise that attracts colonists and travelers alike. The thriving tourist economy on Cesparia allows for a rapid growth of both domestic and interstellar industrial businesses, and as a result the planet's financial infrastructure is solid and seemingly unfailing. For this very reason, Ferengi in the area have made it their goal to seize control of all public and private business opportunities on the entire planet. Since the colony's founding in 2350, there have been a great deal of Ferengi living amongst the Trill and Human settlers.

Politically and officially, the world falls under Federation jurisdiction, but is regulated and operated from within the Trillian government for colonies of this type. The entire planet's fair trade and work force programs ensure that there are no ill-treated employees or overly large businesses running within the confines of the planet's domestic area. That said, the Ferengi presence has made the business world a cutthroat and sometimes dangerous one on Cesparia. Non-domestic corporations are allowed to establish a permanent local presence, however, which further appeals to the Ferengi business model.

Because of traffic demands moving in and out of the planet's atmosphere and outlying areas, the local parsec of space is regulated by an automated computer station. This station communicates with vessels entering the system, catalogs them and directs them to their destination using a complicated organizational algorithm. In lieu of traditional fleet protection, the Trill sections alliance decided that autonomous defensive satellites would be sufficient for protection of the planet. Together, the sensor net and the satellites constantly monitor the entire system.

Cesparia has three moons; R'jxa (ru-jah), Sorad, and Juntala. While R'jxa is the only habitable moon, populated by nearly a quarter of a million people, the other two serve as relay posts and defense grid stations. The defensive capabilities of these moons were installed immediately after the rise of the Dominion in the 2nd war. They consist of 55 torpedo batteries which blanket the moons in a grid, allowing for no blind areas of fire around Cesparia. Since each moon orbits at a consistent and evenly distributed distance from the others, they are always in view of each other. A remarkable phenomenon.

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

''File Transfer Incoming...''

==== Jazni Neyes ====
[[File:L7.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Jazni]]Female : Host from (no record) - 194701.12

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

Charon Departments

2011-01-20T13:33:08Z

Lneyes: /* Notable Engineering Department Personnel: */

[[File:Charonheadericon.png|right]]
Modern Starship crews are divided into specialized branches or departments such as command, security, medical etc.

In the earliest day of Starfleet, the duties, now carried out by a few departments, were often carried out by many smaller departments. With their crews only trained to carry out one or two tasks. In the years since some or all of these smaller departments have either merged with other departments or have vanished altogether. Today a modern Starship has at least three serving departments, with their crews able to handle a multitude of different tasks in many different situations.

Below is a list of major departments and the associated department head:

== Command Department ==
[[Image:SakarraD.png|thumb|left|[[Sakarra Tyrax]], Executive Officer.]]
Until 2300 the Command Department, traditionally not only covered the duties of the Commanding \ Executive Officer, but also the Helm and Navigation stations. However since then the Helm and Navigation stations have been established within the Operations Department.

The Command Department established aboard Federation Starships have exactly the same set-up as other shipboard Departments, such as Medical and Security. It has a Department Head and a Deputy Department Head. The only difference is that the Department Head is the Commanding Officer (CO) and the Deputy Department Head is the Executive Officer (XO).

The Command Officer is responsible for the running of the Command Department but because the C.O. is also responsible for the day to day running of the Ship the Executive Officer will take on the majority of the duties for the running of the Department. This will include the assigning of duties and responsibilities for members of the Command Department, but only with the prior approval of the C.O. It must be remembered that the C.O. must know what is happening at all times, not just within the Command Department but throughout the Ship.

To this end, the XO will receive all Department Heads reports, condense the information from those reports and make a report to the C.O. The C.O. will advise on any response that is required and authorize any actions that the XO will be responsible for putting into effect.

Other personnel, whom are attached to this department, include, additional shipboard Clerical staff and Yeomen. Ambassadors and Ambassador corps support personnel, serving on Starfleet vessels, are also assigned to this branch

On the USS Charon the responsibilities of running the command department fall directly on the Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Sakarra. Captain Rehu reviews all reports but she is not directly involved with the command department.

===Key Command Department Personnel:===
* Captain [[Shiarrael t`Rehu]] (defacto department head)
* Lieutenant Commander [[Sakarra Tyrax]] (in charge of managing the department)
* [[Savant]] (second officer)

* Crewman [[Samantha Davis]] (Yeoman)
* Crewman [[Andrus Morganth]] (Yeoman)

== Operations Department ==
[[Image:Savant photographic2.jpg|thumb|left|[[Savant]], Chief Operations Officer.]]
On all vessels, there is an Operations Console. Aboard Federation vessels and starbases, Ops is an abbreviation for Operations. The Operations Department has to coordinate the daily routine operations of the ship. Everything from who is scheduled in which conference room at what time, to which re-supply freighters are inbound, to assigning personnel quarters, to scheduling and coordinating non-tactical repairs with engineering, to nearly anything that requires resource allocation.

The Operations Department also manages the vessels external and internal sensors. In this respect, they are literally the 'eyes and ears' of the ship.

=== Operations Department Personnel of Note: ===
* [[Savant]] (chief operations officer)

== Security Department ==
[[Image:Rob.jpg|thumb|right|[[Rob Lansine]], Chief Operations Officer.]]
The role of a Starfleet security officer Is a demanding one. He must be adaptable, confident, and have a high degree of determination.

Most of the department consist of Line Officers. These are the men and women that fill over 80% of the department and perform everyday duties. They are the most flexible of all, and as In all security officers, they have been trained to a very high standard to ensure they can perform their duties.

The other 20% are highly trained in a specific field. More than any other department, the members of the Security Department risk their lives to save and protect others, whether it be on a dangerous away mission or at a VIP reception where one moment everything is peaceful and friendly, and the next shots are being fired.

'''Note:''' The Tactical Department is technically a sub department of security.

===Security Department Personnel of Note:===

* Lieutenant JG [[K`tara Sevarius]] (Chief Security Officer)

== Medical Department ==
[[Image:Auden_anderson_copy.jpg‎|200px|thumb|right|[[Auden Anderson]], Assistant Medical officer.]]
The readiness of the crew to perform its duties is largely determined by its general well being, The Medical section is capable of seeing to the surgical, medical and welfare needs of the crew, with specialists at hand to deal with various alien races which may serve within the unit. Well-equipped surgeries and the latest in surgical techniques enable the medical crew to deal with large numbers of casualties speedily in emergency situations. Medical crews are often called upon to help planets suffering from health crises or epidemics, which lack the technology or the drugs available to deal with the problem.

The USS Charon's sickbay is equipped with some of the most advanced medical technologies in the Federation and it also is equipped with Romulan diagnostic systems for diagnosing Romulan patients.

''Policy Note: All crew members must receive a checkup prior to any away mission.''

===Medical Department Personnel of Note:===

* Doctor [[Auden Anderson]] (assistant medical officer)
* Surgeon [[Aehlen tr'Kethry]] (surgical specialist)

== Counseling Department ==
[[Image:gallery06.jpg|thumb|right|[[Waqas Jilani]], Chief Counselor.]]
A counselor's main duty is to help shipboard personnel come to terms with a traumatic episode in their lives or make difficult decisions, which concerns either them selves or others. Counselor's duties also include assessing the psychological makeup not only of the ship's staff, but also of individual alien races, which is vital in first contact and cultural study missions. The finding of which is submitted either to the vessel's Commanding Officer or the head of the Away Team. As with a doctor, Counselors are also responsible for the individual well being of the crew which means they often take an active part during shipboard periodic performance evaluations.

Normally the counseling department is a Sub Department of the Medical Department. However, due to the mixture of the crew it was decided that the department should be on its own with a sizable staff of counselors at its disposal. The head of the counseling department is the chief counselor who, aside from her normal duties as counselor, is responsible for overseeing the department and reviewing the reports of examinations conducted by his/her subordinates.

The counselor must also assess possible threats and report them to the Executive Officer before they occur. This specifically refers to threats such as internal crew conflict. The counselor is also responsible for advising the commanding officer of the general morale of the crew as well as offering suggestions on how deal with low morale.

===Notable Counseling Department Personnel:===

*Cadet [[Christopher Morgan]] (Chief Counselor)
*Lieutenant [[Waqas Jilani]]

== Engineering Department ==
[[Image:Landon02.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Landon Neyes]], Chief Engineering Officer.]]
Most people, when asked, could give a brief example of what the Engineering Department does. However some, if not all, would only give the obvious statements. For example, Engineers keep the engines running, or repair the weapons systems, etc.

The function of an Engineer's job does include the more mundane aspects of engineering like the repair and maintenance of various equipment. However, Engineering personnel have to be considerably more than "just your average car mechanic". Engineering personnel have to be continual "trouble shooters", finding problems before they occur, and solve the problem before it becomes a crisis. Engineering personnel must always keep the ship at its optimum, often designing, or redesigning existing components to keep the ship up to its peak performance levels.

Engineering personnel must always be aware of the ship's alert status. There is absolutely no point in taking the warp engines off-line for a minor repair, if the ship is about to go to alert status. Alternately, the Chief Engineer must keep the Command staff and the Commanding Officer aware of any impending work, which may affect the running of the ship and it's missions. If the warp engines need to be taken off-line for repair, the Commanding Officer must know this before it happens, and must have a complete inventory of the work being carried out, and in what time frame.

Engineering personnel must be the manual backups to the computer systems. If any system goes down, they must, with the help and co-operation of other departments, be able to manually keep the ship working with whatever capabilities and systems they may have at their disposal. '''Some examples of the various engineering technicians and specialist are given below:'''

*1. Environmental Systems Technicians (E-Syst): Must have a complete understanding of the requirements of all known Federation/Non Federation life forms, so that quarters can be designed to give maximum comfort whist the they are aboard. E-Syst personnel will often work with Medical and Operations.
*2. Weapons & Defense Shield Specialists: Weapons & Defense Shield Specialists have a complete and thorough understanding of all shipboard weapons and defense shields as well as an understanding for similar systems on other Federation aligned vessels. These engineering specialists will know the main workings, faults and targeting capabilities of all known enemy vessels and planetary installations, and will Assimilate as much information as possible on this subject whenever a new life form appears. Weapons & Defense Shield Specialists will work with with Operations and Security.
*3. Warp/Impulse Engineering Technicians: With a complete understanding of the workings of the warp and impulse engines, not only for the U.S.S. Charon, but for all attached shuttlecraft and ancillary vessels. Warp/Impulse Engineering Technicians are also be aware of all previous designs of engines used on any Federation vessel but will also keep abreast of all new developments both within the Federation and of any new life forms encountered.
*4. Communications Specialist: Have full knowledge of most Federation and Threat communications equipment, and are able to assemble orbital range transceivers and other communications equipment from locally available, Communications Specialist: are also trained to assemble communications equipment, using various other materials and a short-range transceiver from all other planets.

The Engineering Department is the second largest department on the USS Charon.

===Notable Engineering Department Personnel:===

* Lt Commander [[Landon Neyes]] (Chief Engineering Officer)
* Lieutenant JG [[Robin Katryis]] (Assistant Engineering Officer)

== Science Department ==
[[Image:Suuraht.jpg|thumb|right|[[Suuraht]], Geological Specialist.]]
As well as providing a defensive force, Starfleet is also charged with the task of galactic exploration. As well as the pure science (physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics), astrophysics, sociology, medical and archaeology, are represented. Members from the Sciences department are featured in planetary exploration teams or first contact parties.

On the USS Charon the Science Department is the largest department that is composed of several sub departments such as Stellar Cartography, Astro Physics, Biology, Archaeology, Geology, and etc. The head of the Science Department is the Chief Science Officer who is responsible for reviewing all scientific matters and setting priorities for the science department and relaying that information to the Executive Officer

The Science Department is also in charge of overseeing the sensor pod's sensor alignment.

===Science Department Personnel of Note:===

* Lieutenant [[Suuraht]] (Geological Specialist)

* Commander [[Robert Tisdale]] (Exobiologist)
* Lieutenant JG [[Vara Siddon]] (Exo-archaeologist)
* Lieutenant JG [[Stefan Roehricht]] (Astrophysicist)

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

==== Jazni Neyes ====

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

''File Transfer Incoming...''

==== Jazni Neyes ====
[[File:L7.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Jazni]]Female : Host from (no record) - 194701.12

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

==== Jazni Neyes ====

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

==Information==

Home of Charon's Chief Engineer, [[Landon Neyes]]. This world is a lush paradise that attracts colonists and travelers alike. The thriving tourist economy on Cesparia allows for a rapid growth of both domestic and interstellar industrial growth, and as a result the planet's financial infrastructure is solid and seemingly unfailing. For this very reason, Ferengi in the area have made it their goal to seize control of all public and private business opportunities on the entire planet. Since the colony's founding in 2350, there have been a great deal of Ferengi living amongst the Trill and Human settlers.

Politically and officially, the world falls under Federation jurisdiction, but is regulated and operated from within the Trillian government for colony's of this type. The entire planet's fair trade and work force programs ensure that there are no ill-treated employees or over large businesses running within the confines of the planet's domestic area. That said, the Ferengi presence has made the business world a cutthroat and sometimes dangerous one on Cesparia.

Because of traffic demands moving in and out of the planet's atmosphere and outlying areas, the local parsec of space is regulated by an automated computer station. This station communicates with vessels entering the system, catalogs them and directs them to their destination using a complicated organizational algorithm. In lieu of traditional fleet protection, the Trill sections alliance decided that autonomous defensive satellites would be sufficient for protection of the planet. Together, the sensor net and the satellites constantly monitor the entire system.

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on [[Cesparia]] usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on [[Cesparia]] Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

==== Jazni Neyes ====

Male : Host from (no record) - (no record)

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

----

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia]] Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of [[Cesparia Prime]].]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

Alexis Karyna Furrows grew up on the Luna colony of Earth's moon while both her parents were stationed there for scientific research assignments in Starfleet. As a young girl she regularly attended the lectures her parents put on for the other officers and personnel, but rarely understood the topics in any detail. Naturally, being a child, she tried to follow in their footsteps, attempting to take classes geared towards the sciences in chemistry and biology. Unfortunately she lacker her mother's patience and her father's will to succeed and eventually tried another path.

For what Lexi lacked in scientific prowess, she made up for in strength of character and courage. Her friends would describe her as a tough softy. She'd tell you to your face exactly what was on her mind, but she was soft-spoken, and gentle in her delivery.

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of Cesparia Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Dearyx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of Cesparia Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Daeryx.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's former lover, Daeryx.]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of Cesparia Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Furrows.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

----

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].

== Biography ==

[[File:lando3.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Landon at the Academy.]]
=== Upbringing ===
Born on the Vista Colony of Cesparia Prime, a wealthy tourist locale for the rich and privileged, Landon Irelle was raised to serve those more fortunate than himself. His parents, Reagan and Melany Irelle, worked for the Vista Community Centre on an honest wage and without luxury. The two Trill had two sons, the first of which was Landon, and his younger brother [[Tristan]] was born on Stardate 238608.24. At an early age Landon was exposed to the personnel and staff of Starfleet ships and Federation vessels, who often took their shore-leave on [[Cesparia]]. Fascinated not with their positions, but with the experience they were allowed; to travel in ships across the stars, and away from Cesparia. As much as he loved his family, Landon always felt a longing to explore more than his tiny corner of the universe. Although his parents were humble people, they allowed their son to cultivate his dreams and hope for a better future.

Landon attended school with his younger brother as far as they were allowed, as the educational opportunities on a vacation world were few and far between. Raised on the standards of Ferengi principles of learning, Landon was thoroughly versed in business and finance, as well as personal/public relations and staffing. With the lives of families on Cesparia usually leading to following their parent’s footsteps in service, it was necessary education for the foreseeable future. Landon's relationship with his brother could only be described as two of a kind. While Landon kept a quiet and awkward stature in his youth, Tristan was a wild force to be reckoned with. They would often play tricks on the Ferengi socialites and commerce officials together, always managing to stay one step ahead. Of course, Tristan was always the mastermind. Later in his life, Landon would shape himself to more closely mirror his brother.

The Ferengi leadership on the planet wasn't official, but was seen everywhere. Education, Travel, Recreation and Government were all influenced by the Ferengi populace, which was vast and piercing. The colony on Cesparia Prime was first created by humans, who looked to the Ferengi's neighboring worlds for help in raising a steady economy and growth without mistake. The end result was Ferengi manipulation into control of the colony. Cesparia's rich forests and many hot-springs eventually gave way to Ferengi construction of tourist locations, encouraging Cesparia's original colonists to join in and world as service personnel for these locations, Landon's family included.

Beginning to see the usefulness of earning money to move higher in the financial world, Landon worked at a local shop near one of the hot-springs. Being extremely young at the time, Landon found it difficult to fully earn payment based on Cesparia's laws for employment. The board responsible for overseeing employee's rights was based in the Federation, not on Ferengenar, so Landon was eventually treated fairly in all matters concerning work. He worked for years at 60 hours a week selling trinkets and towels to tourists until he saved enough money to purchase a small atmospheric craft capable of ferrying a small group of people over short distances. Landon immediately left his position at the shop and began a personally owned shuttle company which transported locals from work back to the settlement locations. The fee was small, the ship crowded but comfortable, and it was very popular since very few worker-based transportation options were available.
By the time Landon was 22, his small shuttle business had grown to include 6 other small vessels employing nine pilots and six staff responsible for taking care of passengers during the flight. Local vistas paid his company to shuttle their staff on a regular basis, thereby relieving them of the responsibility.

=== Starting a New Life ===
[[File:Blue-Planet.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Landon's home, the colonial paradise of Cesparia Prime.]]
In late 2402 Landon passed his company over to this family to continue operation and was accepted into the Starfleet Academy. His love for flying, even the small craft on Cesparia encouraged him to drive forward and follow his dream of flying into the stars. Within the month of transferring everything to his parents and his brother, he had moved to Earth on the first available transport and settled into California to attend the Academy. Unfamiliar with working among people not driven to survive in a low-income society, Landon didn't make many friends his first year at the academy, and as a result was able to study nearly 100% of the time, except for attending a new game he encountered called Parisi Squares. Eventually Landon joined a team of some of his colleagues at the Academy for the game and began competing. On Stardate 240605.20, Landon Graduated from the academy 4th in his class in flight school and passing his final thesis exam with a 95%.

His celebration was short-lived however, when he returned to Cesparia to visit his family before being assigned to Starbase 21. Landon returned only to hear news that his family was gone. A group of Ferengi extremists had finally had enough of the growing success of the Irelle Transport business and sabotaged their shuttle leaving from one of the moons after a business trip on 240604.16. Their shuttle exploded after leaving the atmosphere 5 minutes into the trip, killing Landon's Mother, Father, and younger Brother Tristan in the process. Landon was crushed with despair, and thus he took leave from Starbase 21 and was unable to keep the company going. After attending his loved one's funeral a week after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Landon shut down Irelle Transports for good. The subsequent loss of his assets left him with nothing but a month’s leave from duty, his meaningless fortune, and the memories of the only people he had.

One of Landon's old business contacts, one which Landon had been expressly supportive of, was there two days after the funeral to see Landon. His name was Markus Gren, and he was the first Trill besides his own family Landon had spoken to for any length of time. Apparently since Landon's life was so rich with success and loss, it made him a prime candidate for becoming a host to a Trill Symbiant. Markus encouraged Landon that the bond would immediately instill both meaning and a familial connection spanning hundreds of years to his life. Desperately seeking both, Landon accepted the offer of Markus' help in attaining approval to become a Trill host. The process was sped by Markus' influence and by late 2406, Landon was the host to the Trill Symbiant known as Neyes (Nay*ez). The previous host, Taylor, was killed shortly before Landon's own family on a Starfleet Marine's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

A few months in recovery from the transformation, Landon became Landon Neyes, leaving his old family name behind. Most of this time in unaccounted for, and Landon refused to file a flight plan for the shuttle he used during that time. Given the fact that he owned the shuttle himself, a remnant of his business, there was no real reason for him to need to. Once he returned from what is largely assumed to be a short leave to bring himself into focus, and to ready himself for a return to active duty, he asked for whatever deep space assignment Starfleet had available. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

== Personality ==

[[File:Lanlex.png|220px|thumb|left|Neyes with his lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. As a joined Trill he retains all the qualities of his former hosts in a sort of melded personality mingled in with his own. To this end he is extremely skilled in a variety of tasks, and handles a variety of situations differently. Since the Neyes symbiont has been extremely long-lived, the younger and elder facets of his personality often ride against each other, creating a confusing dynamic to many onlookers. One minute he can be extremely boyish and cheerful, while the next he could be stern and focused.

His attitude towards others is decided almost immediately in kind after seeing how they react to his disposition, whether or not he's having a good day. While Landon is very friendly and caring with a genuine desire to help others, he can come off as almost arrogant. The confidence gained from joining with a Symbiont is usually positive, however in Landon's case it has acted as a hurdle he must overcome as he struggles to hold himself to modesty. When placed in a situation in which he feels inferior or less experienced based on his age or rank, the full force of his elder personality comes forward to compensate. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, socially, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes is his Captain, who he addresses with the utmost respect.
[[File:Furrows.png|100px|thumb|right|Landon's lost fiance, [[Lexi Furrows]].]]
Neyes works extremely hard to prove to his colleagues that he is a capable officer, and often goes out of his way to assist in the problems of other departments, especially while a Helm Officer. He takes his job seriously, but does not allow it to interfere with his life, and how he enjoys that life. Conversely, he takes personal relationships very personally and even small slights against him can be catastrophic to his feelings.

As a joined Trill, Neyes' relationships are often complicated and colored with intrigue. His tendencies are to become interested in someone as a person and then only if they express interest in him does he decide they might be worth some kind of further involvement. Landon is a very soft-hearted boyfriend-type when the moment arises, but usually this is not apparent. During his relationship with Daeryx, his lover from a previous host, Landon was torn by his desire to love the man and his need to put the relationship behind them. There was nothing he wanted more than to be with Daeryx, but it was a doomed flurry of a past lifetime. [[Rob Lansine]] was present during these events. Even with the rising suspicion that the Landon host might be gay, which wouldn't raise eyebrows in most societies anyway, he himself is not at all concerned with the issue. Landon's sexuality is not founded on the basis of homosexuality or heterosexuality, but on his heart's ability to love someone.

On the note of his past relationships. Landon was engaged to a young human woman as well while he served aboard the Intrepid. About a year after his slight bluster of a romance with Daeryx, Landon met [[Lexi Furrows]], a petty officer serving in his department. Naturally he felt it was fairly inappropriate for him to pursue a relationship with someone serving beneath his command, however their feelings for one another blossomed quickly. More quickly than Landon had anticipated. The two spent the next year or so dating, and she even unofficially moved herself into his quarters. They loved each other, and as such, he proposed to marry her shortly after the Intrepid was lost in the Andromeda galaxy. Lexi was lost to him, however, when special circumstances had him thrown back into the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy, leaving behind the Intrepid and her stranded crew.

== Special Skills ==

With the merging of young and old, one can hardly blame a sprightly creature like Landon for enjoying an uncharacteristic pleasure. Somehow, somewhere, he developed a fondness for the serene landscapes of nature. Nearly every botanical study he has ever done has proven to be a success, and his green thumb only furthers his enjoyment in this area. Landon, even before joining, had a knack for plants. While it hasn't manifested in his career in Starfleet, there have been rare occasions when he spends some of his spare time in an Arboretum, just sitting quietly. A life in space is full of hustle and bustle, yet this young man finds solace from the chaos of his life in the company of a beautiful landscape.

[[File:LDaggers.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Landon's combat daggers. He carries these on all away missions.]]As a tactical officer, Landon would have been reassigned to temporary duty and moved to a low-security area. He has absolutely no aiming, firing, or shooting ability when it comes to personal weapons such as phaser rifles and hand phaser. On the Intrepid, during tactical exercises, Landon's shots often found purchase against the wall rather than the actual intended target. In contrast, however, Landon is more than capable with small bladed weapons. Whether the task require hand to hand fighting, or throwing, the fury of his blades is rarely mistaken as amateur. His personal favorites are small dueling knives he carries with him. It is rare to find him without a small blade on his person at all times.

Joined Trill are often blessed with gifts that only creatures that experience extreme longevity can enjoy. Landon, being technically 750 years old, is extremely adept at many martial skills. There is no clear identifier of his style of combat, but he is frighteningly agile and incorporates that into his fighting talents. A martial arts program on Starbase 21 once denied his application because he was 'too experienced' for many of the other students. He didn't take it personally, but was disappointed that he would have to continue fighting holograms. While stationed on the Intrepid, Landon and [[Rob Lansine]] were marooned on the planet Carida. Rob was taken hostage and in order to rescue him, Landon infiltrated a Cardassian prison camp and disabled half the guards in complete stealth, without using a single energy weapon.

== Neyes Symbiont ==

[[File:Symbiont.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Neyes Symbiont before transfer to Landon.]]

The Neyes symbiont is by no means a wholly humble creature. While the women in the Neyes line seem to be far more controlled than the males, there is still a general agreement that the level of confidence gained with Neyes is far greater than that of other symbionts. Many of the individuals joined to Neyes found that their personalities clashed (including Taylor, Landon and Jazni) even after extensive testing by the Trill Symbiosis commission, although it has never developed into a serious problem. This may be due to the ancient nature of the symbiont, and many Trill specialists argue that the difficulties faced are due to cultural differences from the disparaging timelines Neyes has seen. Being nearly 800 years of age, Neyes is much older than many of the other symbionts, it has therefor seen a vast array of changes in the Trill culture since its birth.

=== Previous Neyes Hosts: ===

==== Taylor Neyes ====
[[File:L1.png|100px|thumb|left|Taylor.]]Male : Host from 239512.05 - 240611.01

Taylor was a man actually quite similar to Landon. Personality wise, Taylor was a steadfast, happy young man. As eager to join Starfleet as he could possibly be, Taylor accepted a position aboard starships primarily as a combat pilot. He served as Chief Helm Officer of several ships during the years of the Dominion war. Towards the end of the Dominion War however, Taylor took up arms as a marine combatant. Shortly after the end of the war, as planets were liberated from under Dominion Control, Taylor was killed on a planet in the Beta Quadrant. Cause of death was a stab wound to the chest by a Jem'Hadar soldier. Landon, who was already fully accepted as a suitable host, was the closest Trill to take the symbiont. The trauma of Taylor's death still resonates in Landon's memories. ''See Also: [[Eyes of the Past: Part III]]''

==== Hyane Neyes ====
[[File:L3.png|100px|thumb|right|Hyane.]] Female : Host from 234009.08 - 239512.05

Serving as the Trill city of Rexun's commissioner, Hyane was an extremely confident and strong-willed woman. Her control over the city's functions and runnings was unmatched in the council, and she commanded the respect of many other administrative officials on Trill. She had no children of her own, instead giving her life to her work and dedicating what energy she had to bettering the city's sense of community. She became a Host later on in her life than most of her species, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. Hyane was romantically involved with a man serving as a host to the Daeryx symbiont and that relationship continued through to later hosts for a brief period, despite Landon and the new Daeryx host being men. To this day her strength has been a focal point of Landon's mental focus and concentration. He finds great reassurance in her ability as a leader.

==== Toran' Cor Neyes ====
[[File:L4.png|100px|thumb|left|Toran'Cor.]]Male : Host from 227511.29 - 234009.08

Toran served as a guide to cargo vessels operating near Cardassian space. Although he did not own a vessel of his own, he was still immensely successful. Since Bajor, and the Trill homeworlds are so close together, it was easy to find work amongst the plethora of traders and commercial organizations in the area. Toran was a bubbly and whimsical man, as expected of someone in his profession. Many of his clients offered the observation that Toran was always able to empathize with people, and could guess what someone was thinking within just a few minutes of meeting them. Toran died of natural causes.

----

==== Grecan Neyes ====
[[File:L2.png|100px|thumb|right|Grecan.]]Male : Host from 220105.01 - 227511.29

In an age when environmental conditions on planets were not always suitable for colonization, small structures were often created to allow settlers to live in inhospitable conditions. Grecan lived on one of these worlds near the Trill home system of Trillius, just as living in space colonies was a viable way of life for the average citizen. Unfortunately the colonies did not always survive economical depression, and Grecan's was one example. After being joined to Neyes, and transferring to the colony to attend school, the colony fell to hard times. Grecan refused to leave however, choosing to stay in order to help defend his newfound friends in the colony from gangs and opportunist mobsters that took shape. It is here where Landon's skills with knives was born. Eventually he was able to get himself and his group off the colony, and he died of cerebral cancer at an old age.

----

==== Ehryn Neyes ====
[[File:L5.png|100px|thumb|left|Ehryn.]]Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

As a woman and as a mother, Ehryn was a bit pushy, but she always acted in the best interests of her family. As a dancer and a gymnast, there was nothing beyond her reach. Ehryn was bestowed with the gift of grace from the moment she was born, and joining only added to her amazing beauty on the stage. She competed in gymnastics competitions across the world, and rarely came home disappointed. Her daughter, Yelaris, attempted to follow in her footsteps, but ended up following the path of science when it was clear she lacked the grace of her mother. Ehryn attended every lecture she could with Yelaris, and did her best to encourage the scientist in her. Ten years before her death, Ehryn was the proud mother of the woman who helped to engineer the first controlled energy fields on her planet. She died of natural causes.

----

==== Reed Neyes ====
[[File:L6.png|100px|thumb|right|Reed.]]Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

A scholar through and through, Reed was a woman who spent most of her life in the anthologies and codecs of her world's past. In a strange way, it seemed only right that this woman of knowledge be one of the few hosts who melded so well with her symbiont, that it actually furthered her lifespan. The condition is rare, and largely seen as an exceptional honor. Reed was joined at the age of 20, and since that time lived to see another 135 years on Trill. She witnessed the expansion of Trill society into space, and the exploration of their neighboring planets. And saw it all through the eyes of a woman who wanted nothing more from life, than to learn what it was all about.

==== Nayreb Neyes ====
Male : Host from 194701.12 - 202712.19

''File Transfer Incoming...''

'''Limited Access. No File Found.'''

==== Corri Neyes ====
Male : Host from 166007.25 - (no record)

While a first host is often celebrated as a great event in Trill society, both Landon and Taylor have refused to file any information with Starfleet about Corri.

== USS Intrepid ==

[[File:LandoBionetic.png|317px|thumb|right|Being silly, Landon shows off his bionetic musculo-neuro implant. After Carida, this implant restored function to his right arm.]]For nearly two years Landon served as Chief Helm Officer aboard the USS Intrepid-D and E. Since that time was only a year after his family's death, and the loss of his former life, Landon had a difficult time coping with the many costs of serving aboard a starship tasked with patrolling bordering worlds. His endurance was pushed to the fullest extent when Robert Lansine and a select group of other Intrepid crewmen were left behind after Landon led a rescue attempt. Some colonists and crewmen were saved, but a small group were cut-off and left on Carida. Neyes took this extremely hard, and his focus and job performance suffered as a result. Added with the pressure of maintaining his newly acquired Bionetic arm implant, which replaced his natural neural and muscular control, Landon found little comfort in his day to day activities.

=== Cardassian Assault on Carida ===

A Federation/Cardassian diplomatic arrangement placed custody and sovereignty of the colonized world, Carida, in the hands of Cardassians. The USS Intrepid, being the most capable and proximal vessel to the area, was dispatched to oversee the relocation of the 5000 colonists. With no support and only a few days time, the Intrepid's crew quickly found themselves in a battle for their lives as the impatient Cardassians attacked and began to slaughter in inhabitants of Carida. The Intrepid suffered greatly and the loss of life was extreme, and Landon himself was permanently injured after a rescue attempt to save captured allies and his friend, [[Rob Lansine]].
