Personality

The personality of Lai Jo'rek is very restricted, due to the Vulcan training he received since moving to their homeworld when he was three years of age. Behind this restriction, however, is a whirlwind of emotions, passions, likes, dislikes, interests, and other aspects of him based upon his Romulan genetic inheritance and, if given the opportunity, can be honed by the environment that he is in. His only real signs of any sort of personality that can be easily seen is from the books upon his bookshelf and the twitching and raising of his right eyebrow when he tries to suppress emotions.

Personal History

Lai iRa'tleihfi S'Lvaebn tr'Jo'rek was born on 236405.05 in the city of Ra'tleihfi, Romulus, the planet's and the Empire's capital. Since his birth, his life was already tumultuous. Due to the selfishness, greed, and lust for power by most of his brothers, the Jo'rek family name had been severely tarnished, going from being the most respected military family willing to sacrifice their very lives for the glory and prosperity of the Empire to being labeled as traitors, even more so after it was discovered that the Jo'rek's were part of an underground movement that hopes to reunite the Romulans and the Vulcans and become one. Very few Romulans have any sort of respect to the Jo'rek name. His family had to move around a lot, avoiding countless assassins and people who had no loyalties to them. However, their constant movement came to a halt when Lai's last three brothers were killed by assassins. His parents had already made plans to make a permanent home on Vulcan within a few short years. But after the his brothers' deaths, this plan had to be enforced much earlier than they had hoped in order to save their family line and to save their last son from imminent death.

At only three years of age, Lai was thrust upon the Surakian traditions of the Vulcans, partly to fit in and get along with the native people but mostly because his parents felt that if his emotions were to be controlled, restricted, and maintained, then he would not follow down the destructive paths that most of his brothers followed. Due to his natural Romulan behavior, he was predicted to be a "failure" to the Vulcans and in a way slightly feared as to what he may become. That was until the Jo'rek's reached out to Sitok, a 190 year old Vulcan priest in the old ways and the Everlasting Teacher of the Katra. Sitok became Lai's mentor, calming the wild young Romulan, teaching him almost everything he needed to know and preparing him for the inevitable training in the ways of Surak. From then on, Sitok became Lai's most trusted and "best" friend.
