Lieutenant (JG) T'Lona, MD is a 26 year old Vulcan currently serving as a medical officer on board the USS Veritas under the command of Captain Roshanara Rahman.

Growing up as the child of one of Vulcan's leading neurologists, T'Lona became fascinated with medical diagrams and charts at a young age. By Age 12, as that interest evolved into a more academic curiosity, and T'Lona and her parents soon concluded that she would pursue a medical career to follow in her mother's footsteps. T'Lona later developed a strong relationship with her half brother, Evan Delano, that directed her inherent curiosity towards all Vulcanoids and Vulcanoid-hybrids. Specifically, she began studying the physiological and psychological complications associated with Vulcanoid attributes.

After completing her basic education at age 15, T'Lona attended Kir University in the Kir province. While working on her pre-medical requirements, T'Lona was shamed to discover an aversion to blood that threatened to end her prospects to become a doctor. Through mental discipline, traditional Vulcan meditation, and the influence of her friends, T'Lona was able to overcame her weakness and complete her program. Shortly thereafter, she was formally admitted to Starfleet Academy.

After completing her time at the Academy, T'Lona spent a year in residence aboard the USS Essex, stationed in the Menthor Corridor. She was transferred to the USS Veritas in mid-2397 to assume duties as a medical officer.

Summary

Evan's parents met at a civilian engineering conference in New Berlin on Luna in 2365. Their meeting extended into a short-lived affair which ended when Evan's father, Kedall, confessed that he was married. Ashamed at what he saw as an "emotional outburst," Kedall returned to Vulcan and broke off all contact with Evan's mother. During his early years, Evan had a troubled childhood in which he struggled to control his erratic, sometimes violent emotions. He resented his stepfather and refused to accept his surname when he married his mother. Though Evan and his stepfather have since reconciled their differences, he continues to use his mother's maiden name. Evan's inability to control his emotions eventually got him into trouble after he severely injured another classmate after a minor disagreement.

Evan was to be admitted to a juvenile rehabilitation center until Kedall intervened and offered to take him to Vulcan to be properly trained to control his emotions. Temporarily placed in the guardianship of his biological father, Evan lived on Vulcan for five years. Though he struggled to fit in just as he had on Earth, Evan learned to control his emotions through the use of basic Vulcan meditation exercises combined with his devotion to learning Suus Mahna, a defensive Martial Art.

After returning to Earth, he achieved academic success, though he still struggled to connect with many of his peers. At the urging of a teacher, a former starfleet officer, Evan applied for and was eventually accepted into Starfleet Academy.
