 ===Personality===
-* Demeanor:  Happy, usually has a smile.  Unfailingly optimistic and perseverant, especially professionally speaking.  He is soft-spoken and light footed, with an air of control, poise, and dignity about him.
+* Demeanor:  What Yael lacks in physical presence and power he more than makes up for in psychological and mental ability.  He’s strangely confident, adaptable, and quite experienced and tactical for his age.  While respectful of rank he is impervious to intimidation by it.  He has the mindset/approach of a diplomat, always pushing to mediate and ready to find a solution.  As with most Denobulans he is supremely patient, and plays the “long” game in life and his duties.  He is friendly, charming, and approachable, and is adept at delving into the complex psyche’s of a multitude of types of persons, with a functional intuition of socio-cultural issues.  Keenly intelligent on a psychological and emotional level, he’s at his best as a counselor or diplomat.  He enjoys the challenge and satisfaction of helping his crewmates find their way, work through complex problems, and advance themselves as individuals.  When at work he is the epitome of Zen.  When at rest or play, he can have trouble letting down his barriers.  So while he can get to know others very closely, it can be difficult for him to let anyone get to know him in return.
-* Nature:  Has a two sided personality.   His open demeanor is productive, efficient, professional and charming.  His less openly shown nature is unexpectedly chaotic compared to his calm exterior.  His underlying complexities show themselves through secretly-destructive behavior.  Regardless of his personal failings, his intentions are 100% positive and he would never bring harm willingly upon another person or his crew.
+* Nature:  His inner nature is guised in his well-practiced external shields, and while he is naturally optimistic, he is also *intensely private*, and covets his independence.  He is a realistic pacifist, refusing typically to engage in violence and preferring an intellectual approach.  In his heart Yael is profoundly alone and lonely, even in a room full of people.  For all his ability to help others, he finds himself incapable of letting others know who he really is or how he feels.  For all his external control and defensive mechanisms, he is innately not in control of his inner feelings and desires, finds them uncomfortable, seeks to repress them, and in the past this has expressed himself in the form of a secretly addictive and thrill-seeking personality.  His less openly shown nature is unexpectedly chaotic compared to his calm exterior.  His underlying complexities show themselves through his sometimes counter-intuitive behaviors.
-* Personality:  Confident in his field (if not especially so socially) and scientifically trained, he relies on his knowledge, natural charm and quick wit.  He is warm, cheerful, makes friends easily, works well with others, and likes to see other people happy.  His professional pursuits are top notch, and he prizes a healthy skepticism.  Very sociable (as Denobulans tend to be), but also very secretive of his personal business (like his holodeck activities) and medical information.  How he is seen by others impacts him greatly, which is why he keeps his wilder behavior so well hidden.  He sees his wild side as a personal shame to his Denobulan heritage (which is peaceful and calm), his personal adherence to pacifism, and his profession.
+* Personal Notes:  He is able to span both Denobulan and Terran cultures with ease.  He is always looking for something new to learn or advance in.  He enjoys archery, can typically be found reading new anthropology and psychology texts, and despises cooking.  He likes cute animals, but has no pets due to the hygienic factor.
-* Behavioral Note:  While he thinks his more chaotic behavior is due to his Terran heritage, he realizes it may be a deeper reaction to his chronic medical condition.  The irony of having such a psychological twist to his nature doesn't escape him.  However, most often, he is in control and capable of handling whatever circumstances occur.  Behaviorally, he is able to span both Denobulan and Terran cultures with ease.  Comes across as younger than  he is, but is surprisingly wise and insightful into people and personal problems.
-* Hobbies:  Archery is his newest discovery, though his focus is almost entirely on perfecting the "quick draw," due to the effect of his Theoron's Disorder.  (Holding the bow taught would cause tremor to set in, whereas a fast draw/release remain smooth.)  Reading new anthropology and psychology texts.  He learned to cook from his mother, though he secretly hates it.  He likes cute furry animals (and isn’t afraid to admit it, squeeze it, love it and call it George).  Secretly he thrives on exciting holodeck club nights and risk taking activities.
