Core Traits

Outlook

Sival holds an overall optimistic outlook on life. He believes any situation can be improved upon, and any problem can be solved. He is almost always confident that everything will workout… eventually, somehow.

Integrity

Integrity is an important value for Sival. Integrity has been defined as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change.”[1] This quality, which Sival has also described as his ‘steadfast rod of truth’ has guided him throughout his life and career, especially. That it aligns with the ethos of Starfleet, as he understands it, is partly what makes being an officer a perfect fit for him. However, just because he has a strong sense of Picard-esque morality, it doesn’t mean he is inflexible or rigid. Rather, he has been able to adapt his quest for truth to almost any situation, and it guides which possibilities to consider when he is exploring permutations of a problem.

Impulsiveness

Most of the time, Sival is measured, methodological and fully in control. He takes satisfaction in an attention to detail and in considering alternatives carefully before deciding on a course of action. However, Sival is also a man of ideas, and it is in considering them that he can become excited. Due to the uniqueness of his human-Vulcan biochemistry, Sival experiences feelings stronger than other humans. Feelings such as excitement, wonder, amazement, and the like, have the potential to catch him off guard while he is pondering ideas, be it a new surgical technique or a novel patient treatment plan, for example. He has the potential to get so caught up in ideas that he loses some connection with practical reality and the smaller details that get him from point A to point B. He is aware of this tendency, and he has benefited from certain mindful meditation techniques, as well as by having a nurse nearby to remind him of what is practical as opposed to just what is possible.

Affinity

Sival has an affinity toward the natural world and the world of theories and ideas. He is also drawn to people and situations that nurture these qualities, as well as allow him to be in an environment that draws upon his introversion and where ideas can be freely discussed. He tends to gravitate towards several genres of music as well.

Comportment

Sival has taken great care with regard to how he conducts himself, especially professionally. Sival believes that professional comportment is critical to fostering a productive relationship among a healthcare team, and he believes it promotes mutual respect and harmony.[2]

Disclosure

Introverted by nature, Sival usually does not make much known to others about his personal life; however, he is working on developing the skill of sharing some information, such as interests and some personal experiences, in social situations. Although he is half-human, Sival has also adopted a Vulcan sensibility about only sharing necessary and relevant information, and that usually precludes ‘small talk’ and information about himself. Nevertheless, Sival does ‘open up’ to those he is close to, such as colleagues he works with frequently and respects or with friends. With these people, he also is more open about expressing his emotions as well. With most people, on the other hand, Sival has accepted that he will leave the impression that he is either entirely Vulcan or has chosen a Vulcan way of life, not revealing a rich inner life filled with both ideas and emotion.[3]

Philosophy

Emotions

Sival believes that emotions should be regulated, not suppressed. Sival believes that emotions have functions, and they can provide us with critical information when they are effectively regulated.[6] This said, Sival refrains from expressing emotion in most situations, as he considers it unprofessional or bad form. He will show emotions in a calm and restrained manner however among friends and colleagues. Additionally, Sival must either suppress or regulate his emotions to prevent them from becoming too intense and causing damage to his Human/Vulcan biochemistry - he has chosen to regulate them using various techniques. As Sival already appears Vulcan and projects many Vulcan mannerisms, he has accepted that only his closest companions will ever learn this information about him. .

Some Emotion Regulation Techniques that Sival has Used:

  Grounding.[7] (Vulcan Meditation)
  Non-judgmental observation.[8] (Human Mindfulness)
  Cognitive-behavioral Therapy - "We feel how we think".[9] (Human Psychology)
  Checklists.[10] (Human Aviation)
