Personality:
{Calm, Cool, Serene, Level-headed, Logical, Emotional, Disciplined, Honest, Open, Lawful, Charming, Caring, Intelligent, Musical, Weary, Phobic.}
A naturally calm person which combined with Vulcan discipline, was made even more serene. Through his early schooling on Vulcan, Narciso became very level-headed and logical, and claims that his natural discipline for completing tasks also derived from this. His sense of justice and honesty was also instilled during his time on Vulcan, as this is a basis to their culture. When he was brought to Betazed however, due to his sudden awakening of his natural telepathic abilities, Narciso was instantly a happy, open, and carefree child. He became open to his emotions, and allowed them to show instead of repressing-controlling them as the Vulcan do. Spending his early teen years on Betazed, Narciso became very charismatic, caring, and uniquely charming. His intelligence was well known, and further encouraged by his childlike curiosity. He quickly leaped through his schooling and managed to enroll into the University of Betazed for Psychology. All of his qualities make Narciso a person who is easy to be around, which aids greatly given his profession as a counselor. One of his negative qualities, revolves around his unease while interacting with species who are incapable of any possible telepathic ability, more importantly; the Ferengi. This makes him a little awkward during interactions with such species. However he manages to get through such interactions with professionalism, usually. When it comes to Changelings, of any kind, Narciso is notably weary and distrusting. In front of a Jem'Hadar, Narciso clamps up with hatred, however he is continuously trying to get past this hatred, believing it to be against the Betazoid culture of peace. As a means to further his peaceful ways, Narciso often plays instruments, primarily his own vocal chords. He is quite fond of singing, and can often be heard doing so. He usually can be found on the holodeck during his recreational time, singing songs such as "Have Not Been To Paradise". He got into the habit of singing once he started living on Betazed, influenced by his Grandmother who was a talented vocalist and who taught him how to sing.
History & Current Life:
{Birth: Narciso was born on Pollux IV of the Beta Geminorum System. {Mother fully Betazoid, Father Betazoid/Vulcan hybrid}. Born at the Shrine of Nemesis. Said to have smiled and cooed when he saw his own reflection in the nearby pond where his father washed him after birth. Thus they named him "Narciso" after Narcissus, who saw his reflection for the first time and fell in love with it.}
While pregnant with Narciso, his parents, Maricelo and Neixualla, were on Pollux IV doing research onto the technology that remained behind on the planet after the native species went extinct long ago. His mother, Neixualla, was currently nine months pregnant, with an expected one month to go, as is the norm for Betazoid Pregnancy. She had planned to travel back to Betazed to give birth to her child on the planet she called home, not wanting to give birth while in space. During their examination of a newly uncovered power source at the ruined Shrine of Nemesis, an accident took place. The power source was triggered to siphon off into a container for further examination, however a faulty conductor resulted in an explosion, to which Neixualla was the victim. The accident caused trauma to Neixualla's womb, which forced her into premature labor. Not being able to stop the labor, and with only her husband to aid her, Neixualla gave birth just outside the Shrine of Nemesis, beside a clear water pond. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy, with no signs of any complications, much to their joy. The baby was then bathed in the water of the pond by his father, Maricelo, and had apparently recognized his own reflection on the waters' surface, smiled, and cooed in response. His mother, who had a habit of studying ancient mythology of various planets, was reminded of the ancient Earth story of Narcissus and declared the boy to be named Narciso, as was fitting for his birth at the ruins of the Shrine of Nemesis.
For the first year of his life, Narciso lived on the planet Pollux IV while his parents continued their research, and his mother healed up from the incident. Upon the end of the year, he was transported to Vulcan with his parents to be introduced to his Paternal Grandparents, who are ambassadors for their respective planets and the parents of his father. His grandfather is fully Vulcan while his Grandmother is fully Betazoid. Once there, Narciso spent his early years under the care of his Grandparents, while his own parents were asked to return to Pollux IV to continue their research. While on Vulcan, Narciso went through all the norms that are expected from Vulcan children, but also showed a blossoming intelligence that could prove to be near genius. His time on Vulcan was also spent learning their customs and ways, such as their norm of not suppressing -but controlling- their extreme emotions. In fact, one of his favorite places on Vulcan during this time and still to this day, are the Monasteries of Mount Seleya, of which he spent the majority of his time with the Priestesses, with whom he studied the ancient beliefs of the Vulcan people.
During one of his school sessions, Narciso awoke to his natural latent Betazoid telepathy and was overcome by the extreme, though mostly controlled, emotions of his schoolmates. Having burst out into tears, and sobbing uncontrollably, his Vulcan teachers and caretakers were unsure of what to do and alerted his Grandparents. His grandmother, a full Betazoid, was able to soothe him down emotionally by telling him that his telepathy was more than normal for a Betazoid. She did leave out the facts that he had awoken to his telepathy rather early, and was unable to explain his extreme sensitivity. However she did easily speculate that it had something to do with his being quarter Vulcan. (His father, being half Vulcan, never awoke to any telepathic abilities until he was in his late teens.) After conversing with members of her family, and her daughter in laws' family, Narciso's grandmother made arrangements to have the boy sent to live and study on Betazoid, for his own benefit. A year later, the plans finally went through and Narciso and transported to Betazoid, accompanied by his grandmother where he finally meets his mother’s parents for the first time in person. They are well known scientists and his grandfather is also a member of Starfleet, a ranking Commodore and his grandmother is a well-respected Chancellor for Betazed, who had been a renowned vocalist in her youth.
Upon arriving on Betazed, Narciso instantly opened up to the differences in culture and became a happy, carefree boy. His studies continued to go on perfectly, and his extremely sensitive empathic ability was understood better and he was taught how to handle it efficiently. His intelligence did not go unnoticed, as he in fact was tutored personally by some of the best scientists on Betazed, thanks to his grandparents connections. With his studies being exemplary, at the age of fourteen, Narciso enlisted into the University of Betazed and excelled in the field of psychology. It should be noted that one of his favorite places on Betazed is a beach of the "Opal Sea", and another place is the "Valley of Song". Throughout the year, he spent a vast amount of time with his grandfather, the Starfleet Commodore who had come back to spend his leave at home. Through the many conversations and stories told, Narciso had become inspired to take the entrance exams to enter Starfleet academy. His first attempt resulted in him not being accepted, as his scores were just not high enough, but close. Come the next year, Narciso was able to try his hand at the entrance exams again and this time he succeeded in being the top student. He was officially entered into Starfleet, and hit the ground running taking the most advanced classes that were available to him from the start. Because he opted to attend Starfleet Academy directly on Earth, his studies in the University of Betazed was handled via transmissions, but not stopped. He was known to receive little sleep, and often worked until he collapsed and wound up in the academy sickbay, earning him the nickname of "Clockwork", as he would study at all hours.
During the Dominion Invasion of Betazed in the year 2374, during which Narciso was ten years old, his grandparents were able to survive and also joined the resistance forces. During this violent and dangerous time, Narciso was taught to use the latent telekinetic ability each Betazoid has via the ancient mental teaching, taught to him by his grandparents. He was taught this not to fight on the front lines, but for his own self-defense in the worst case scenario. Narciso was never a very strong boy, though not exactly sickly either. During an attack on their hideout, Narciso became frightened and accidentally caused a rock-slid via his telekinesis in which he killed three Jem'Hadar soldiers, as well as a fellow Betazoid civilian, Sarahi, who was his Nanny. The rock-slide managed to close off the cave opening they were hiding in, saving them all. However because of the Death of his nanny, Sarahi, Narciso had shut away the incident into his meta-consciousness, and following the end of the Dominion War, he refused to use -let alone acknowledge- his telekinetic power by claiming that he 'forgot how to evoke it'. The invasion also brought about his research into a system -a weapon of defense- that would work in the same way as the 'invasive empathy' used by the Betazoids to drive the Jem'Hadar to become catatonic and/or psychotic-violent. He thought of the idea by watching the repelling of the Jem'Hadar. It is called "Hymn de Nephilim" and it, in theory, is meant to emit a wavelength that imitates 'sound'. To those with strong minds, often telepathic, the wavelengths can be heard as a "song". Though still in theory only, the system is meant to send all those within range into a catatonic state. Namely, to stop aggressors in their tracks. However, as with the Jem'Hadar, it is a more than possible fact that the exact opposite may happen and the aggressors may become insane and enter a trance beyond violence.
Come the year, 2380, Narciso was on a civilian transport ship enroute to Betazed to visit his grandparents and his parents who had returned home after finishing the first half of their primary research on Pollux IV. Narciso was obviously overjoyed, as he was going to see his parents face to face for the first time in years. It was rumored that because of his overwhelming joy, the passengers on the transport ship were the happiest passengers they ever had, as his joy was telepathically projected forward onto them. On the halfway point of their voyage, the transport ship carrying Narciso was attacked and boarded by a band of rogue Ferengi claiming "salvage". They assaulted the simple transport ship and soon were able to beam aboard, wreaking havoc. They began to rob the transport ship, and once the crew put up resistance, they begun to use force. Many people were harmed, and a good amount of the civilians were killed. Narciso himself was hit by a phaser beam when he was protecting a pair of children who were alone once their mother was killed by stray phaser fire. Because of his young age, being only fifteen, the incident caused a severe trauma. It is well known that Betazoids tend to be uncomfortable around species with whom they can't feel emphatically and Narciso is no different. However, the trauma caused a phobia to appear within Narciso. Ever since then he has been wary whenever around such species, most notably the Ferengi with whom he tends to stiffen up and close himself off.
There was also a boon from the incident with the rogue Ferengi. Not only was his desire to be in Starfleet enforced, but so was his desire to learn more about alien species via his chosen field of psychology. This led him to begin his project during his time in Starfleet Academy, the DIVA System in the year 2382. The "Dual-mind Integrated Variable Analysis System". A system that is, by theory, meant to allow telepaths to read the minds and emotions of species that would otherwise be unreadable via telepathy. So far this system is still only known by Narciso, who is working on it alone. The idea is that the project works like a holodeck, creating a space in which is reflected the thoughts and emotions of those in the DIVA system. In time, Narciso plans to show his project to Starfleet, in hopes that it would be taken up officially. Of course, the primary research is still being done by Narciso.
Come the year 2383, at the age of eighteen, Narciso graduates from the University of Betazed with honors and a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology. He returns to Betazed from Earth to attend the ceremony, and is surrounded by his friends and family. His parents however, had to watch the ceremony via transmission as they were once again back on Pollux IV, continuing their ever ongoing research. A few months later, he had to return to Earth to be present during his graduation ceremony from Starfleet Academy. Having done so, Narciso was assigned to serve aboard the USS Adonis as an ensign. He excelled at his duties and was quickly given the rank and responsibilities of Lieutenant. Throughout the couple of years during his service on the Adonis, Narciso attempts the Bridge Officers' Test. All his attempts end in high standings, but ultimately in failure for being unable to give the order that will send a crewman to face his/her Death. He is told that he has the intelligence to become a commanding officer, however he lacks the ability to handle grave situations and give harsh -though needed- commands. Narciso decides that he will continue to serve and learn as time passes.
A year later, Narciso is officially made the ships' counselor and takes over the responsibilities given to him. He is well liked, and more than easy to talk to. His influence as ships' counselor is noted by the ease of the crew and their ability to function better with their daily lives. Towards the end of the year, the USS Adonis was surprised by a Borg vessel and is overwhelmed while in the middle of providing aid to a federation colony dealing with an epidemic disease. The Borg's initial volley deals massive damage, as the USS Adonis is unable to raise the shields in time. The bridge is instantly destroyed, with the majority of the commanding officers, including the captain, being killed during the explosions. As the ship begins to lose stability, Narciso sends out an S.O.S. to alert the Federation of the Borg presence and threat, as well as warning the away crew still on the planet’s surface. Narciso then orders the immediate evacuation of the crew, and stays behind with a handful of other crewmen to provide cover for the escape shuttles. They manage to stabilize the Adonis and unleash a barrage of assaults, using quantum torpedoes, all set on different frequencies. The same is done with the phasers, which result in moderate damage to the Borg vessel, yet not enough to stop them. Narciso then ordered the remaining crewmen to board the last remaining escape shuttles, while he sets a collision course. Upon giving the orders, the Adonis is smashed with another volley from the Borg. This wave of attack caused Narciso to fall unconscious, as his console overloads and suddenly explodes. While knocked out he, and all but one crewmen, escape and leave the remaining crewman, who volunteered, to ram into the Borg vessel. The impact destroys both ships, however stops the Borg threat. The nearest Federation star ship arrives mere hours later and claims the survivors, of which there are many, miraculously. For his actions aboard the Adonis, Narciso is given the rank of Lt. Commander, and was awarded decorations of honor.
Recently, at the current year of 2385, Narciso has been preparing himself to take the position of ship’s counselor upon the newly dispatched Federation Ship, the USS Corona. He has been brushing up on his languages and customs of alien species, as he heard that the crew is vastly diverse, and even has... Ferengi members. He has been waiting on Betazed, in his home within the Capital of Rixx. When asked by his Grandparents if he will miss them, Narciso laughed softly and said. "Of course, but that is what transmissions are for. If anything I will miss the rolling pink clouds, and our times on the Khara Archipelago... When you go visit, take some pictures and send them to me, alright? I'll decorate my quarters with all the pictures you send me..."

The invasion also brought about his research into a system -a weapon of defense- that would work in the same way as the 'invasive empathy' used by the Betazoids to drive the Jem'Hadar to become catatonic and/or psychotic-violent. He thought of the idea by watching the repelling of the Jem'Hadar. It is called "Hymn de Nephilim" and it, in theory, is meant to emit a wavelength that imitates 'sound'. To those with strong minds, often telepathic, the wavelengths can be heard as a "song". Though still in theory only, the system is meant to send all those within range into a catatonic state. Namely, to stop aggressors in their tracks. However, as with the Jem'Hadar, it is a more than possible fact that the exact opposite may happen and the aggressors may become insane and enter a trance beyond violence.
Come the year, 2380, Narciso was on a civilian transport ship enroute to Betazed to visit his grandparents and his parents who had returned home after finishing the first half of their primary research on Pollux IV. Narciso was obviously overjoyed, as he was going to see his parents face to face for the first time in years. It was rumored that because of his overwhelming joy, the passengers on the transport ship were the happiest passengers they ever had, as his joy was telepathically projected forward onto them. On the halfway point of their voyage, the transport ship carrying Narciso was attacked and boarded by a band of rogue Ferengi claiming "salvage". They assaulted the simple transport ship and soon were able to beam aboard, wreaking havoc. They began to rob the transport ship, and once the crew put up resistance, they begun to use force. Many people were harmed, and a good amount of the civilians were killed. Narciso himself was hit by a phaser beam when he was protecting a pair of children who were alone once their mother was killed by stray phaser fire. Because of his young age, being only fifteen, the incident caused a severe trauma. It is well known that Betazoids tend to be uncomfortable around species with whom they can't feel emphatically and Narciso is no different. However, the trauma caused a phobia to appear within Narciso. Ever since then he has been wary whenever around such species, most notably the Ferengi with whom he tends to stiffen up and close himself off.
There was also a boon from the incident with the rogue Ferengi. Not only was his desire to be in Starfleet enforced, but so was his desire to learn more about alien species via his chosen field of psychology. This led him to begin his project during his time in Starfleet Academy, the DIVA System in the year 2382. The "Dual-mind Integrated Variable Analysis System". A system that is, by theory, meant to allow telepaths to read the minds and emotions of species that would otherwise be unreadable via telepathy. So far this system is still only known by Narciso, who is working on it alone. The idea is that the project works like a holodeck, creating a space in which is reflected the thoughts and emotions of those in the DIVA system. In time, Narciso plans to show his project to Starfleet, in hopes that it would be taken up officially. Of course, the primary research is still being done by Narciso.
Come the year 2383, at the age of eighteen, Narciso graduates from the University of Betazed with honors and a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology. He returns to Betazed from Earth to attend the ceremony, and is surrounded by his friends and family. His parents however, had to watch the ceremony via transmission as they were once again back on Pollux IV, continuing their ever ongoing research. A few months later, he had to return to Earth to be present during his graduation ceremony from Starfleet Academy. Having done so, Narciso was assigned to serve aboard the USS Adonis as an ensign. He excelled at his duties and was quickly given the rank and responsibilities of Lieutenant. Throughout the couple of years during his service on the Adonis, Narciso attempts the Bridge Officers' Test. All his attempts end in high standings, but ultimately in failure for being unable to give the order that will send a crewman to face his/her Death. He is told that he has the intelligence to become a commanding officer, however he lacks the ability to handle grave situations and give harsh -though needed- commands. Narciso decides that he will continue to serve and learn as time passes.
A year later, Narciso is officially made the ships' counselor and takes over the responsibilities given to him. He is well liked, and more than easy to talk to. His influence as ships' counselor is noted by the ease of the crew and their ability to function better with their daily lives. Towards the end of the year, the USS Adonis was surprised by a Borg vessel and is overwhelmed while in the middle of providing aid to a federation colony dealing with an epidemic disease. The Borg's initial volley deals massive damage, as the USS Adonis is unable to raise the shields in time. The bridge is instantly destroyed, with the majority of the commanding officers, including the captain, being killed during the explosions. As the ship begins to lose stability, Narciso sends out an S.O.S. to alert the Federation of the Borg presence and threat, as well as warning the away crew still on the planet’s surface. Narciso then orders the immediate evacuation of the crew, and stays behind with a handful of other crewmen to provide cover for the escape shuttles. They manage to stabilize the Adonis and unleash a barrage of assaults, using quantum torpedoes, all set on different frequencies. The same is done with the phasers, which result in moderate damage to the Borg vessel, yet not enough to stop them. Narciso then ordered the remaining crewmen to board the last remaining escape shuttles, while he sets a collision course. Upon giving the orders, the Adonis is smashed with another volley from the Borg. This wave of attack caused Narciso to fall unconscious, as his console overloads and suddenly explodes. While knocked out he, and all but one crewmen, escape and leave the remaining crewman, who volunteered, to ram into the Borg vessel. The impact destroys both ships, however stops the Borg threat. The nearest Federation star ship arrives mere hours later and claims the survivors, of which there are many, miraculously. For his actions aboard the Adonis, Narciso is given the rank of Lt. Commander, and was awarded decorations of honor.
Recently, at the current year of 2385, Narciso has been preparing himself to take the position of ship’s counselor upon the newly dispatched Federation Ship, the USS Corona. He has been brushing up on his languages and customs of alien species, as he heard that the crew is vastly diverse, and even has... Ferengi members. He has been waiting on Betazed, in his home within the Capital of Rixx. When asked by his Grandparents if he will miss them, Narciso laughed softly and said. "Of course, but that is what transmissions are for. If anything I will miss the rolling pink clouds, and our times on the Khara Archipelago... When you go visit, take some pictures and send them to me, alright? I'll decorate my quarters with all the pictures you send me..."
