Lieutenant Commander '''James''', a Terran/Vulcan, is awaiting assignment on [[Deep Space 285|Deep Space ''285'']]. Formerly he was the First Officer aboard the {{USS|Constitution|B}}, before a near-fatal heart attack forced him to resign his position, and has previously served as a Com/Ops Officer aboard the {{USS|Discovery|C}}, Engineering Officer aboard the {{USS|Drake}}, Assistant Chief Engineering Officer aboard [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase ''118'']], Chief Engineer aboard the {{USS|Darwin|A}} and First Officer on the {{USS|Excalibur|A}}. He also spent several months acting as an Academy Trainer on the [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase ''118'']] Academy Campus where he also occasionally lectured. He took Com/Ops as a Minor in order to better learn the systems he'd some day have to repair.

While having been raised on the teachings of Surak, he is not the most adamant follower. Perhaps due to the influence of his mother, he views logical as a powerful tool and Surak's teachings as more of an instruction manual for it. Consistently there are times where another tool is necessary or the instruction manual needs to be ignored. As a result socially, he behaves far more emotionally than most Vulcans, although still far less than most other species as emotion is a far more suited tool there. Additionally, he will occasionally apply logic to Surak's teachings (For instance by justifying withholding information from the DTI on the Drake's temporal activities as the needs of the many who may be put into danger by revealing their existence outway his need, as a one, to not lie). This leaves him somewhat in the middle of being a follower of Surak and not following him.

James was born in the city of Shi'Kahr, Vulcan on the 30th of April 2367. His Father is a Physicist named S'bok, who is half-Vulcan and his mother is a Terran computer programmer called Kaname Nakamura. He was named after his great-grandfather Admiral Nakamura (not Starfleet).
