Biography

Landon at the Academy.

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 who made a living serving those more fortunate than themselves, 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. 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 growing 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.

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, 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. After continuing duty Landon accepted the Helm position onboard the CSS Melbourne in the Confederate Fleet.

Personality

Landon Neyes is almost always a carefree, bouncy young man who seems to enjoy striking sarcasm in every situation. His attitude towards others in 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 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. He treats all members of a crew on equal grounds, and makes a habit of ignoring rank when addressing someone. The only exception he makes to that end is his Captain.

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.

Neyes Symbiont

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 Reed) 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 changed in the Trill culture since its birth.


Previous Neyes Hosts:

Taylor Neyes

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.

Hyane Neyes

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 became a Host later on in her life than most Trill, in her 30's, and died of natural causes. 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

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

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

Female : Host from 214208.23 - 220105.01

Reed Neyes

Female : Host from 202712.19 - 214208.23

Hedron Neyes

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

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

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.
