Personal History

Early Life/Pre-Starfleet Career:

T’ral had about just as normal a life on Vulcan as a Vulcan could have. She enjoyed a life of prosperous nature in that she had unlimited access to knowledge to further her studies. She had a fascination with emotions at first, but quickly learned to hide it. Though at a young age, she knew that though her inquisitive nature may lead to trouble, she could use it to better her studies.

She lived a life mostly of study as her parents were off to their own devices to make sure she herself had time to study. T’ral met Siann first as a child when the two were arranged to be wed. Though the two knew it was logical that this marriage take place, they didn’t find any distance being around one another. The two often played to one another’s strengths and pointed out weaknesses. Though not one of love, the two knew that their marriage would work because of how well the two worked together.

The pair found a decent ability to bounce ideas off one another, though her greatest ally to do so she would meet later in life. Their studies, while not really noteworthy, did further many things in Vulcan, there was something off about it all. Not necessarily a desire, something felt lacking. Being the bookworm and studyaholics, the pair found that after a while, the resources of Vulcan were only so and so much. They felt that, while vast, the pool of knowledge that Vulcan offered would only bring so and so much satiation to their lust for knowledge. Their voracious appetite for knowledge, joining with Starfleet was the next logical step in that pursuit. Though this took some convincing on both T’ral and Siann’s part. Their parents wished to know if it was logic or emotions that drove them. It did not take long for the logical answer to be found.


Academy/Technical Academy (if Starfleet):

During their time at the fleet, they met the pesky Human couple Xander and Alice. They wormed their way into the Vulcan couple’s logical hearts. Oftentimes the four helped one another to study. Xander and T’ral were physicists and despite the pesky emotional nature of his goofball antics, Xander and T’ral often would bounce ideas off one another. He soon became well respected with T’ral. Siann thought it no small feat to be done so. T’ral became close with Xander if only to use their collective minds to solve issues.

The war took its toll. Both Siann and Xander perished while T’ral and Alice were being forced to flee. Though kindred spirits, they knew they had little to connect with and still tried their best to connect. It took ages for T’ral to finally be able to connect with Alice and the two share a friendship and T’ral finds her to be the only human alive she can tolerate outside of working.

Please write a brief answer to 3 of the following (a sentence or two for each is fine):
Your character's most painful experience

When she knew that her husband and best friend were dead as part of skirmish that did not need to occur. This was ordered by an arrogant captain who was ripe with anger as he was not thinking with his head more with his anger. She was in no position to argue either lest she be disciplined.

Your character's best or favorite experience

When she painted a special work for the Carlisle's anniversary. She rarely had favorites as she discarded most of her works as they were outlets to her. She was mildly happy seeing her best friends look so happy at the painting.


Your character's most crucial experience

Who is your character's role model and why?

Xander, her best friend, because he challenged her in a way intellectually her husband could not. He was her intellectual equal and they grew by studying together and working together.

Please write a brief sample post from your character’s perspective:

T’ral’s hands began to move in a rhythmic fashion. As soon as they found the desk near the console, they began a rhythmic movement and with each tap, she knew she was getting closer to the answer in question. Her thoughts, though not in full sentences, began to run nearly as fast as the computer near her. Though there was a part of her deep down that knew it would want to be as fast to computer and arrive at the answer.

“I have found what was requested. It seems that this species has a defense mechanism that acts like a shield, but the real question is how it can generate that thickness to gain that ability. It has shown in previous scans no signs of having armor or anything of the like. It can not just pop in out of thin air. There must be something missing.” As T’ral spoke, she knew she needed to keep her fascination at the small roach like creature to that of finding a weakness.
