CHARACTER INFORMATION ------------------------------ NAME: Talex CURRENT RANK: Ensign CURRENT BILLET: USS AMBERJACK INTERESTED IN: Sciences (computer, history, military), Flight Control PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS RACE: Vulcan AGE: 25 GENDER: Male HEIGHT: 185cm WEIGHT: 85kg HAIR: Black EYES: Gray SCARS, MARKS, TATOOS: None PERSONAL FAMILY PLACE OF BIRTH: Victra Station (completely destroyed in accident in 2392) MOTHER: T'Lind, missed during accident on Victra Station in 2392, presumed dead FATHER: Savarn, missed during accident on Victra Station in 2392, presumed dead SIBLINGS: (twin) T'Lex, female, 25 STARFLEET SERVICE RECORD STARDATE ACTION 160205 Assigned to Field Training Program 160504 Graduated from the Field Training Program BACKGROUND MATERIAL: Talex and his twin sister, T'Lex, were saved from sure death during rescue mission after catastrophic accident on the small Vulcan scientific outpost in human space. They were the only survivors, the outpost was completely destroyed as a result of the accident. Talex and T'Lex were raised as adopted children in the childless family of the veteran Star Fleet Captain Oleksandr Prokopenko (retired, Earth) who sponsored them both in the Star Fleet Academy. In the Academy, Talex was a solid performer, but on the tests, with several exceptions, did not show stellar results. Nevertheless, his superior officers noticed his deep interest and understanding in two seemingly unrelated branches of knowledge: mathematics/computers and history, especially military history. In the area of a practical expertize, established himself as a proficient pilot of both big and small spaceships, as well as an expert in computing/information analysis/cryptology. Alas, his visible disinterest in competition with others did not allow him to take top place in the class. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Talex is a Vulcan but from the very early childhood was raised by the Human family. Inevitable this created, let us say, an interesting mix of traditions in his head. He acknowledges his Vulcan roots - in high school on the Earth he actively searched and consumed any available knowledge about Vulcan culture. He looks like Vulcan and behaves like Vulcan. But his knowledge about the Vulcan tradition does not steam from being raised in the Vulcan environment, but rather from reading about this environment. He is very reliable and calm in extreme situations, thinks fast and comes to correct conclusions, dictated by logic, under pressure. When it is really important (read - in life and death situations, not at social events), he is able to take initiative and exhibits true leadership qualities. His superior officers at the Star Fleet Academy see in him great potential for truly brilliant career of Star Fleet officer. HOBBIES AND INTERESTS: You can consider his interest in the military history and computing as a hobby. For sure his approach to these is more like to a hobby: when speaking on these subjects, his eyes become a little more bright that you would expect from the average Vulcan. During free time in senior years at Star Fleet Academy, he even tried to create computer models of some important and grandiose historical military events. NRPG BACKGROUND MATERIAL: 1. Talex does not fully realize this, but the desire to solve mystery of the accident on Victra station that caused death of his parents is deeply rooted in him, even though he does not remember any of them. 2. Another plane of his subconsciousness is troubled by his relationship with his twin sister, T'Lex, that deteriorated during the years in SFA. On the surface, he does not acknowledge the problem, but the topic of family relationship in other families could be touchy for him. 3. And finally, while genetically he is a pure Vulcan, his upbringing, especially during early childhood years, is Human. Basically, he is a Vulcan who psychologically is a Human but tries to emulate proper Vulcan based on the material he read in the library... Well, _this_ should be interesting ;)
