 * '''Nicknames''': While in high school, several classmates were interested in Savan because of his good looks. Finding humor in the attraction to the sometimes reserved Vulcan, Savan's best friend and classmate John Torres would eventually call him "Suave" or "Suavan." Savan does not share this name with ship mates, but it is still used by his close friends from high school and college. Upon hearing his nickname, Savan tends to smile despite himself. | Savan's cousins will sometimes call him Sav.

+In one of his most remarkable traits, Savan is far more open emotionally expressive than what is typical of average Vulcans. The personality trait is a result from early Trellium D exposure at age 10 and his subsequent development of ESFD (Emotional Suppresion Failure Disorder), which rendering him unable to develop the skills and technique to suppress his emotions. Moreover, he grew up on Earth from his early teens, so exposure to non-native cultures has also made significant changes to his overall temperment.
+In terms of general personality, Savan is regularly described as friendly. Neverthleess, Savan remains comparatively reserved compared to humans. On a unique note, Savan does have an occasional habit of smiling and even laughing or, more usually, almost smiling. Equally, Savan can express on occasion emotional upset, such as anger or sadness, though he is more likely to retreat into privacy on those occasions or wait for the emotional climax to pass before discussing it. Savan has regularly explained that Vulcan emotions are far stronger and wilder than those of humans, therefore requiring far more attention and discipline. Due to his ESFD diagnosis, Savan does have to regularly moderate the intensity of emotions. Extreme emotions, whether positive or negative, can have a negative impact on his pyschological well being, undoing his usual reserve and producing behavior that can be erratic, disruptive or even dangerous. However, Savan maintains a regular program of intense physical exercise, meditation, and sport. Coupled with regular medication, EFSD generally causes no problems.
+It should be noted though that Savan, despite his emotional expressiveness, has not turned his back on logic in favor of his passions. In this sense, Savan would not be considered as one of the Vʻtosh Kaʻtur (Vulcans without Logic), which is understandable as his psychological condition is medical. Instead, Savan has dedicated himself to finding internal harmony between the path of logic and his undeniable emotional nature.
+Savan places high value on his personal friendships, though he has preferred a small circle of family, close friends and intimates. He will go beyond the limit to ensure and protect the well-being of those he values.
+Another strong character trait is intensity and dedication. Savan will apply himself completely to both work and leisure. Besides his openness and relative friendliness, Savan’s intensity is frequently noted by non-Vulcans. Most frequently, he is described as “passionate” and “deeply dedicated” to his interests, personal and private.

 Savan met John his sophomore year at the Interspecies Day School, where Torres' family enrolled him so he could get a better understanding of other species. The two became close friends and shared an apartment while attending the University of California. Torres would regularly introduce Savan as "the baddest ass Vulcan you'll ever meet," to which Savan would often cock his eyebrow and frown. John is now married and works as an architect in Mexico. Savan is godfather to Torres' young daughter. Torres is the person who has the easiest time in making Savan laugh. Torres and Savan remain in regular touch via subspace messages.
