== Personality ==
Yogan Yalu's personality is a complex amalgam of personalities–that of his former unjoined self, Yogan Verso; that of Yalu, the symbiont to which he is Joined; and those of the symbiont's previous hosts.  Like all Joined Trill, Yogan underwent years of training to ensure that, once Joined, the symbiont would complement, not overwhelm his own personality.

Since joining, Yogan's symbiont and former hosts have influenced his personality, creating a more extraverted, pragmatic, and social individual, but also one prone to impulsive decisions, cynicism, and a flair for the dramatic.  He is proud to have been selected for joining, and he thinks often about how his memories and experiences will influence Yalu's future hosts.  He also wonders whether he measures up to his predecessors.

=== Shore leave (239801.30 – 239802.27) ===
After ''Resolution'' returned safely from the future, the ship made a brief stop at [[Deep Space 224]] to offload some of the refugees rescued from the Sau planet.  Most of them, however, had closer connections to the Federation's core worlds, and so remained aboard for the trip to [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]].  En route, Yalu was contacted by [[Rohjess Beem]], a Trill Guardian, who informed him that it was time to return to undertake ''zhian'tara'', and Yalu began preparations to take the journey at the earliest opportunity.  Yalu also took the opportunity for medical and counseling check-ups with Lieutenant Commander [[Genkos Adea]] and Lieutenant JG [[Meidra Sirin]], respectively.  During these check-ups, Yalu asked invited the officers to participate in his ''zhian'tara'', and both were pleased to accept.
 
Upon arrival at Vulcan, Yalu held a shuttlecraft training simulation at the Vulcana Regar Orbital Spacedock.  [[Meidra Sirin|Sirin]] and Ensigns [[Aine Sherlock]] and [[Callium Treetus]] took part in the training, which simulated landing and evacuation of a crippled spacecraft.  Midway through the training, Lieutenant JG [[Jamie MacNemar]] modified the simulation, making an impromptu appearance as Queen Arachnia, a fictional antagonist from a 20th century Earth film series.  Also at Vulcan, Yalu had the opportunity to meet some new crew members:  Ensign [[Etan Iljor]], with whom Yalu was assigned to share quarters; and Ensign [[Hallia Yellir]], whom Yalu helped find suitable accommodations onboard for herself and her pet cat.
 
=== [[The Ties that Bind (Resolution)|''The Ties that Bind'']] (239802.28 – 239804.07) ===
With Fleet Captain [[Kalianna Nicholotti]] on medical leave, command of the ship passed to Lieutenant Commander [[Addison MacKenzie]] for the duration of the next mission.  ''Resolution'' was dispatched back into the Borderlands to mediate a dispute between two non-Federation species, the Nascaik and the Thama, who both claimed a planetoid which lie on the border between their respective space.  To prepare for the mission, Yalu joined a team comprising Lieutenant Commanders [[Genkos Adea]] and [[Rune Jolara]] and Ensign [[Hallia Yellir]], to determine what each side hoped to gain from unrestricted access to the planet, Vionus IV.
 
When the delegates from each government arrived aboard ''Resolution'', Yalu joined Lieutenant Commander [[Tai Ilsam]] and Lieutenant JG [[Aine Sherlock]] in giving a tour of the ship to the representatives of the Nascaik Defense Coalition, consisting of Rossk Shes Ar-Dev, Terza Malyk Vey-Dex, and Ar-Dev's five-year-old son Foss.  The Nascaik, a militaristic and expansionist people, were unimpressed with ''Resolution'' and its Starfleet crew, and could not comprehend why scientific exploration and peaceful coexistence were such prized values for Federation societies.  With the tour cut short, Yalu returned to the bridge, whereupon newly arrived chief engineer Lieutenant Commander [[Chandra Amari]] discovered a series of mysterious power failures.  Yalu noticed that the power failures originated in places visited by the Thama delegates during their tour of the ship, and were radiating outward to all parts of the ship.  Before any action could be taken to resolve these failures, the Thama diplomatic aide Ashal Koas ended the negotiations in an act of terrorism, blowing up the conference room, kidnapping Ar-Dev, and nearly killing MacKenzie and Lieutenant JG [[Meidra Sirin]], who were present during the explosion.


''Resolution'' pursued Koas' shuttlecraft to Vionus IV, but the damage to her systems and the gaping hole in her hull slowed them down significantly.  As the remaining diplomats spoke of their true intentions for the planet, Yalu attempted to distract the Nascaik child Foss with a selection of computer games.  He was then called away to join an away team consisting of Adea, Ilsam, and Sherlock, to rescue Ar-Dev and Koas from the planet's surface.  The team was successful in rescuing Ar-Dev–with Yalu breaking his ankle in the process–but could not beam Koas back aboard before her explosive device detonated, killing her.  Once back aboard, Yalu received treatment for his minor injury while the surviving delegates negotiated a graduated settlement over Vionus IV.
Yalu's Starfleet career began on Stardate 239307.01, when he entered Starfleet Medical Academy in San Francisco at the rank of Cadet 4th class.  During his first year, he excelled in medical ethics, clinical fundamentals, and immunology, but struggled with genetics.  Outside of his medical studies, he continued his flight training, earning high marks in starship navigation.


With the document signed and the two delegations departing back for their homeworlds, ''Resolution'' limped back to Deep Space 224 for repairs and shore leave.
On Stardate 239407.01, Yalu began his second year of medical studies at the rank of Cadet 3rd class.  During this year, he succeeded in the subjects of medical and life support systems and diagnosis, but had his biggest professional failures as well, earning a D+ in non-humanoid surgery, the lowest mark of his Academy career.  He concluded his flight training during this year, receiving the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in navigation.


=== Shore leave and ''zhian'tara'' (239804.08 – 239805.06) ===
Yalu's final two years at Starfleet Academy were largely successful, although he continued to struggle in surgical classes.  He graduated from the Academy on Stardate 239706.07, with a Level 5 pilot's qualification, an M.D., and a commission at the rank of Ensign.
: ''See  [[Yogan Yalu/Zhian'tara|Zhian'tara of Yogan Yalu]]''


''Resolution'' arrived at [[Deep Space 224]] in need of extensive repairs, which permitted the crew to enjoy an extended period of shore leave.  For Yalu, however, his stay on the starbase was brief.  The morning after arriving, he and four of his crewmates–Lieutenant Commanders [[Addison MacKenzie]] and [[Genkos Adea]], Lieutenant JG [[Meidra Sirin]], and Ensign [[Etan Iljor]]–departed for the Trill homeworld, where Yalu would perform ''zhian'tara'', the Trill rite of closure.  Yalu's weeklong stay on Trill was an emotional experience, not just because of the ritual, but also because of a long overdue reunion with members of his family.
=== 2397 ===
Yalu graduated from Starfleet Academy in June and was posted to the {{USS|Atlantis}} as a medical officer.  Five weeks later, he was transferred to the {{USS|Resolution}}–which was re-entering active service–as a helm officer.  In July, ''Resolution'' encountered the derelict {{USS|Unity}}, whose computer systems had been commandeered by a space-dwelling lifeform.  In September, ''Resolution'' visited [[Da'al]], a non-aligned planet in the Borderlands, where the crew was instrumental in preventing a coup d'état.  In December, ''Resolution'' was searching for a missing freighter in the [[Celendi Nebula]] when they were transported more than 200,000 years into the future.


After completing the ritual, Yalu and his four traveling companions returned to DS224, where they continued their shore leave.  As repairs on ''Resolution'' neared completion and a new mission loomed on the horizon, the crew gathered in the restored conference room for an awards ceremony, where Yalu received the Peacekeeper Service Ribbon and a promotion to full lieutenant.
In 2397, Yalu was awarded four service ribbons.  He was also promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant JG on Stardate 239712.08.


=== ''[[Stranded (Resolution)|Stranded]]'' (239805.07 – 239806.15) ===
=== 2398 ===
''Resolution'' was sent to the [[Briar Patch]] to find a Starfleet science ship, USS ''Hanno'', which went missing in the region.  Yalu worked with Acting Chief Engineer Lieutenant Commander [[Chandra Amari]] to modify the ship's propulsion systems to function in the unpredictable region of space.  The two devised a plan to reroute plasma coolant from the warp to the impulse engines, and Yalu had the time of his life crawling around the ship making the modifications.
The year 2398 began with the {{USS|Resolution}} still in the far future, attempting to rescue the crew of the freighter ''Andalucia'' from enslavement at the hands of the [[Sau]].  They succeeded in rescuing a large number of them, but Yalu was haunted by the fact that some were left behind.  Upon their return to the present, Yalu began preparing to undertake ''zhian'tara'', the Trill Rite of Closure, and invited several of his crewmates to participate in the ritual with him.  In February, ''Resolution'' attempted to negotiate a peace agreement between the Nascaik and the Thama, who both claimed Vionus IV as part of their sovereign territory.  After a terrorist attack nearly destroyed the ship, the crew successfully concluded the peace treaty between the surviving diplomatic representatives.


Upon entering the Briar Patch, ''Resolution'' discovered a signal buoy from ''Hanno'', and followed a relatively stable transport corridor to search for signs of them.  The ship passed by a rogue planet and was pelted by hundreds of thousands of rocks, seemingly launched from the surface.  The assault overwhelmed the ship's systems, and Yalu was forced to bring ''Resolution'' down onto the planet.  The ship suffered damage from the unplanned landing, but no one was seriously injured, except for Yalu, who fell ill almost immediately after ''Resolution'' enters the planet's atmosphere.  Barely able to stand upright, he goes to Sickbay, where doctors [[Genkos Adea]] and [[Rion Sladek]] discovered the balance between host and [[Yalu (symbiont)|symbiont]] has been disrupted.  With his isoboramine levels plummeting, and the prescribed treatment becoming less effective with each dose, Yalu became concerned that the symbiont might need to be removed to save it, although this would kill the host.
In April, Yalu returned to Trill with four of his crewmates, and [[Yogan_Yalu/Zhian%27tara|completed his ''zhian'tara'']].  The following month, when ''Resolution'' was sent into the [[Briar Patch]] to search for a missing Starfleet science ship, they crash landed on a planet inhabited by an advanced form of non-corporeal life, whose manipulation of energy caused a disruption in the relationship between Yogan (host) and Yalu (symbiont).  The illness persisted for several months thereafter.  In July, Yalu, along with the rest of ''Resolution'''s crew, was trapped in a time loop at the hands of a Q.


After setting out to explore the surface, an away team located survivors from ''Hanno'' and from a Romulan ship that had crashed.  They also discovered the native inhabitants of the planet, a sentient, non-corporeal race called the Skarn, exist in a symbiotic way with the the planet and an entity within it called Baab, which provided a possible explanation for Yalu's sudden illness. The crew then raced against time to repair the ship, get back into orbit, and leave the Briar Patch with the survivors.
In September and October, while the {{USS|Resolution}} was temporarily under the command of [[Genkos Adea]], Yalu served as acting first officer.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-resolution/c/xqSOs9o9IEY/m/XYyXJ1T5BAAJ SIM: JP LtCmdr Genkos Adea & LtCmdr Yogan Yalu — Now you've done it]</ref>


=== Shore leave (239806.16 – 239807.20) ===
In 2398, Yalu was awarded 7 service ribbons. He was also promoted from Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant on Stardate 239805.04, and from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander on Stardate 239809.15.
Upon returning to orbit with the ''Hanno'' and Romulan survivors aboard, ''Resolution'' set course out of the Briar Patch and back to Deep Space 224 for repairs and shore leave. En route, Yalu have [[Meidra Sirin]] a flight lesson, and shared a bottle of sapphire wine with [[Genkos Adea]], enjoying pleasant friendly conversation during both. With ''Resolution'' undergoing repairs, Yalu joined a team consisting of [[Kalianna Nicholotti]], [[Addison MacKenzie]], [[Rune Jolara]], [[Meidra Sirin]], [[Aine Sherlock]], [[Hallia Yellir]], and new tactical officer [[Arek Ketteik]], on a humanitarian project to resettle the Romulan survivors from the Briar Patch.


Traveling aboard the {{USS|Gemini}}, the team set course for Oreen V, the site of an existing Romulan settlement, playing a friendly game of poker on the way.  After a brief welcome by Janain, the settlement's leader, Yalu, Nicholotti, Jolara, Ketteik, and Yellir set themselves to the task of constructing a new dwelling, while MacKenzie, Sirin, and Sherlock assisted in upgrading the medical clinic.

=== Shore leave (239808.21 – Present) ===
== Service record ==
After being released from the non-space cube in which the Q had trapped them, the {{USS|Resolution}} departed for [[Deep Space 224]], where the crew transferred aboard the {{USS|Excalibur|A}}.  Using ''Excalibur'''s quantum slipstream drive, the crew made for [[Bajor]] and some much-deserved shore leave.  En route to Bajor, Yalu underwent firearm certification training with Lieutenant Junior Grade [[Aine Sherlock]], and visited Lt. Commander [[Genkos Adea]] for a follow-up medical visit.  Adea gave Yalu the less-than-welcome news that his isoboaramine levels were continuing to rise and fall erratically, but the cause was unknown.  As a short-term solution, Yalu agreed to report regularly to Sickbay for booster doses of benzocyatizine.
 
Upon arrival at Bajor, Yalu explored Jalanda City on foot, and with Ensign [[Baylen Anders]], visited an interactive holo-museum called ''The Emissary's Experience Extravanga''.  Back aboard ''Excalibur'', Yalu attempted to utilize the ship's variable gravity astrometrics lab, but ended up stranded and floating in mid-air.  After calling for help, Lieutenant [[Zy Matu]] arrived and rescued him.

Yogan Yalu (né Verso, born 15 April 2362, age 40) is a male Joined Trill officer in the Federation Starfleet, currently holding the rank of lieutenant commander and serving as first officer aboard the USS Artemis-A.

Personality

Yogan Yalu's personality is a complex amalgam of personalities–that of his former unjoined self, Yogan Verso; that of Yalu, the symbiont to which he is Joined; and those of the symbiont's previous hosts. Like all Joined Trill, Yogan underwent years of training to ensure that, once Joined, the symbiont would complement, not overwhelm his own personality.

Yogan is an innate idealist, and possesses a nearly inexhaustible optimism. His belief that all people are inherently good occasionally causes conflict in his professional life; he struggles to understand why good people suffer. He dislikes the constraint of arbitrary rules, and tends to support creative thinking and the rights of others to do as they please. He tends to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. Yogan struggles to accept challenges and criticisms as opportunities to better himself; rather, he can take them personally and become mired in self-doubt. Yogan wants to be liked, and avoids conflict if he can, preferring to adjust himself rather than risk confrontation with another person.

Since joining, Yogan's symbiont and former hosts have influenced his personality, creating a more extraverted, pragmatic, and social individual, but also one prone to impulsive decisions, cynicism, and a flair for the dramatic. He is proud to have been selected for joining, and he thinks often about how his memories and experiences will influence Yalu's future hosts. He also wonders whether he measures up to his predecessors.

Psychological profile

  • Temperament: Positive, balanced; not prone to wild mood swings or extreme emotions
  • Quarters: Room 04-0302, not super personalized
  • Favorite place:
  • Habits: Bites his lip when deep in thought; prefers to refer to fellow officers by rank instead of name or honorific; Mishears things often
  • Religion or spiritual affiliation: None
  • Hobbies and pastimes: Betazoid literature (particularly the psychodramas), Folk wrestling[1]
  • Preferred foods: Cheeseburgers
  • Preferred drinks: Yogan Yalu seldom drinks alcohol. Enjoys raktajino, glurch, and kobheerian cola
  • Fears: Looking stupid in front of people.
  • Ambitions and goals:
  • Achievements: Skilled pilot, Doctor of Medicine, lovable goof
  • Disappointments:

Betazoid psychodramas

Yogan Yalu is an enthusiastic fan of a particular genre of Betazoid literature, the psychodrama. He reads them voraciously and is always looking for a new one. He also regularly updates his FedReads profile with the books he is currently reading, has recently completed, or wishes to read:

  • Embers Within Ashes by Levralet Izun (2395): The winner of the 2396 Rixx Prize for Fiction contains sharp prose and a carefully crafted plot. Kept me guessing right up until the end. ♦♦♦♦♦ [Completed 239709][9]
  • Thoughtless Winter by Levralet Izun (2396): The sequel to Embers is boring, boring, boring. I had to drink four raktajinos just to get through chapter three. ♦ [Completed 239710][10]
  • The Zest of Life by Beidol Tro (2384): Some ups and downs with this one. Treesa was a fascinating character but Valko's lack of redemption was a let-down. ♦♦♦ [Completed 239802][11]

Personal history

See Biography of Yogan Yalu

Yalu

See Yalu (symbiont)

Yalu is a symbiont–a sentient vermiform lifeform–who has lived symbiotically inside hosts of the humanoid Trill species. Yalu was born in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld in 2030, and was Joined to a host for the first time in 2140. The joining of Yalu to Yogan Verso in 2392 created a new, unique individual–Yogan Yalu. Yalu's eighth humanoid host, Yogan, carries the memories of Yalu's seven previous hosts, who include a subspace radio operator, a farmer and artisan weaver, a famous actress, and a member of the Trill Senate.

Professional history

See Starfleet Academy transcript of Yogan Yalu
See Professional history of Yogan Yalu, 2397, 2398, 2399, and 2400

2393–2397

Yalu's Starfleet career began on Stardate 239307.01, when he entered Starfleet Medical Academy in San Francisco at the rank of Cadet 4th class. During his first year, he excelled in medical ethics, clinical fundamentals, and immunology, but struggled with genetics. Outside of his medical studies, he continued his flight training, earning high marks in starship navigation.

On Stardate 239407.01, Yalu began his second year of medical studies at the rank of Cadet 3rd class. During this year, he succeeded in the subjects of medical and life support systems and diagnosis, but had his biggest professional failures as well, earning a D+ in non-humanoid surgery, the lowest mark of his Academy career. He concluded his flight training during this year, receiving the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in navigation.

Yalu's final two years at Starfleet Academy were largely successful, although he continued to struggle in surgical classes. He graduated from the Academy on Stardate 239706.07, with a Level 5 pilot's qualification, an M.D., and a commission at the rank of Ensign.

2397

Yalu graduated from Starfleet Academy in June and was posted to the USS Atlantis as a medical officer. Five weeks later, he was transferred to the USS Resolution–which was re-entering active service–as a helm officer. In July, Resolution encountered the derelict USS Unity, whose computer systems had been commandeered by a space-dwelling lifeform. In September, Resolution visited Da'al, a non-aligned planet in the Borderlands, where the crew was instrumental in preventing a coup d'état. In December, Resolution was searching for a missing freighter in the Celendi Nebula when they were transported more than 200,000 years into the future.

In 2397, Yalu was awarded four service ribbons. He was also promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant JG on Stardate 239712.08.

2398

The year 2398 began with the USS Resolution still in the far future, attempting to rescue the crew of the freighter Andalucia from enslavement at the hands of the Sau. They succeeded in rescuing a large number of them, but Yalu was haunted by the fact that some were left behind. Upon their return to the present, Yalu began preparing to undertake zhian'tara, the Trill Rite of Closure, and invited several of his crewmates to participate in the ritual with him. In February, Resolution attempted to negotiate a peace agreement between the Nascaik and the Thama, who both claimed Vionus IV as part of their sovereign territory. After a terrorist attack nearly destroyed the ship, the crew successfully concluded the peace treaty between the surviving diplomatic representatives.

In April, Yalu returned to Trill with four of his crewmates, and completed his zhian'tara. The following month, when Resolution was sent into the Briar Patch to search for a missing Starfleet science ship, they crash landed on a planet inhabited by an advanced form of non-corporeal life, whose manipulation of energy caused a disruption in the relationship between Yogan (host) and Yalu (symbiont). The illness persisted for several months thereafter. In July, Yalu, along with the rest of Resolution's crew, was trapped in a time loop at the hands of a Q.

In September and October, while the USS Resolution was temporarily under the command of Genkos Adea, Yalu served as acting first officer.[17]

In 2398, Yalu was awarded 7 service ribbons. He was also promoted from Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant on Stardate 239805.04, and from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander on Stardate 239809.15.

2399

2400

On SD 240007.10, Yalu was promoted to first officer of the USS Artemis-A.

Perhaps most importantly of all, he was proud of it, having worked hard to earn the right to wear it. He was certain the momentary embarrassment of his faux pas would dissipate quickly.
