Detail Record:
James Valentine West the Third (III), Born June 20th 2352 to Dr. Janine Leigh West and Lord James Valentine West (II). James had your typical upbringing until the age of two, then his parents sought to divorce. It was then that James and his Mother moved to Santa Monica, California and started their new life... Without James' Father in the picture. It was from here that James was raised just like any other normal wealthy, spoiled child. All of his wants or needs were granted without hesitation, and therefore he lived the life of luxury.
However, it was his Mother's idea to let him attend public school to 'harden' him. So, he did. Fighting his way through school with plenty of suspensions and black marks on his Middle School and High School records... James, being a star Baseball / Football Player through High-School with multiple D-1 Colleges interested in him, decided to disobey his Mother and join the SFMC and attend the Starfleet Marine Corps Academy rather than go to UCLA, USC or LMU. It was then that his parents (Mother and Father) disowned James; He has still not talked to or seen his parents, to this very day.
After James went through the SFMC Academy Program, distinguishing himself from the rest of his class with his flawless 4.0 GPA and flawless combat ability. Graduating in the top 1% of his class, and being Valedictorian of his class, James had been recommended for the SFMC Ranger Program. Post-Graduation parties weren't attended, rather James reported for SFMC Ranger training the very same day onboard Wolf Station.
It was during his Ranger training that James distinguished himself once again in the field of Combat, particularly Special Operations... James' approach to 'Delicate Operations' was rather simple, overly-hostile down-right 'Kill first, ask questions later' mentality. It was this that earned James the nickname 'Iceman'. Upon graduation from the Ranger Program, James had once again caught the eye of 'the powers that be', meaning he had been recommended for the SFMC Special Operations Program.
Upon entering the SFMC Spec-Ops Program, Mr. Perfect James encountered difficulty with everything. He just seemed to be hitting a brick wall at every d**n turn, thankfully, he buddied up with his rival since the Academy... Second Lieutenant Anna Jordan... Who he became romantically involved with in a matter of minutes upon asking her to his quarters for 'help'. Overcoming the challenges the Spec-Ops program presented, James graduated and then his career turn an interesting turn... He and Miss Anna Jordan became engaged, but not before James was ordered to report to the Marine Pilot Program three weeks later.
Before James left for the Marine Pilot Program, he and Anna Jordan had wed... Thus making them husband and wife! Taking a two week honeymoon to Risa, James and Anna had a good time and conceived their first child. Upon returning to Earth, James and Anna got a house in the Bay-Area of San-Fran and settled in... However, duty called and James had to go back to Wolf Station.
The Marine Pilot Program wasn't a relatively new idea, training Marines to fly fighters has always been around... However, to add to James' Ranger / Spec-Op training already was just icing on the cake! James found flying actually easy and relaxing, gaining his ratings rather quickly and catching the eyes of those in Command of the Top Gun Fighter Program, which was typically reserved for SF Fighter Pilots. James was pulled from the Marine Pilot Program after he earned his Advanced Bombardier Certification, and he was placed in the Top Gun Fighter School. Thus making him the ONLY Marine Pilot to have attended Top Gun, so far.
Having a fierce flying style, zero-tolerance for anything and a down-right hostile attitude towards 'enemy flyers'. James earned himself the nickname 'The Jackal'. Upon graduation, having spent three years in post-academy training, James finally got his first 'real' assignment. Onboard the Flagship of the Federation nonetheless.

Personality Profile:
How to sum him up... Hmm, well, James is your typical rich boy run off to the SFMC to fight someone else's war. He can be outgoing, sweet, caring and sensitive. However, this side of him has rarely been seen... His wife and children were killed in the Dominion Terrorist Attack on earth, after that event... James seems to be cut off from everyone by keeping to himself, focusing on his work and keeping his time occupied by training non-stop. Seeming extremely cold, James is a bit of a loner... Almost ALWAYS eating alone and keeping to his work. In his mind, by doing this, James can suppress his memoriess indefinitely.
Identifying Marks:
James has a number of tattoos on his body, ALL SFMC / Ranger / Special Operations in nature. Other than tattoos, he has multiple battle scars and stories to go with them.
Medical History:
James has had his share and someone else's of combat wounds, broken bones and cuts. Oh yeah, fight hard, bleed hard!
