History

Sahriv was born on T’Khasi to Sking, a diplomat formerly in the service of Vulcan’s Ambassador, and T’Vakh, a priestess. His name means “Storm” - he was born during one of the planet’s worst ion storms in two centuries, which battered most of the major cities, particularly Vulcana Regar, the place of Sahriv’s birth.

Sahriv is a full graduate of the Shi’Kar Science Academy and served aboard both Vulcanian and Independent Science Vessels for almost two decades (in particular the V.S.S Sochya) before deciding to join Starfleet at the young age of 45.

Sahriv has the Vulcan equivalent of Autism, called Saktra-Nosh, which impacts greatly on his capacity for empathy, longitudinal thinking and social interaction. He has difficulty in understanding others and treating them as people, even his own kind, and is often at the mercy of his own powerful emotions, barely kept at bay by his own exceptional self-control. The condition does afford him extraordinary high-functioning capabilities however and he is an exceptional savant, even genius, by any standard.

He majored in Science at Starfleet Academy, specialising in Physics and Chemistry. In his spare time he practises Kal-toh and meditates with aggressive martial arts. After graduating he was immediately assigned to serve aboard U.S.S. Mercury as a Science Officer.

He has not spoken to his parents since before he joined Starfleet. After he was diagnosed with his mental illness, his parents were unwilling or unable to deal with the implications and sent him away to board from the age of ten. His relationship with them is practically non-existent. He currently has no close friends or acquaintances.

Sahriv's Romulan Falchion - his personal field weapon.

Like all Vulcans, Sahriv has a firm grasp of self-defence and many forms of ritualistic and meditative martial arts. However, to channel his inner rage, he trains in aggressive forms of personal combat. This has made him unprecedentedly formidable in a fight, both unarmed and with his personal weapon - a Romulan Falchion. While he finds violence distasteful, as do all of his species, his training and preparedness not only make for a suitable outlet for his dangerous emotions, but have turned him into a force to be reckoned with. During a violent outburst in his first year at the academy, he hospitalised 5 Cadets who had made the mistake of tormenting him and forcing him into sensory overload. He was not expelled, due to provision being made for his illness, and such an incident never occurred again. It is the only blemish on his otherwise perfect record.

He seeks to better himself and gain an understanding of the people and the universe around him, all too aware that he comprehends the vastly complex but is at a loss when it comes to the most simple things. He believes that the key to understanding himself and others is to explore the universe, seek out its mysteries and solve its puzzles - which is the reason he joined Starfleet in the first place.

Family Name Bio Sking Sahriv's father. Aged 157. A diplomat formerly in the service of Ambassador Spock before the latter's disappearance. A full Kolinahri, Sking had no plans to ever become a father, being fully dedicated to his work. When his wife T'Vakh became unexpectedly pregnant following the couple's Pon Farr cycle, Sking took a leave of absence to nurse his wife, who'd suffered a difficult pregnancy, back to health. He resents his son for the disruption his birth caused to both their lives. T'Vakh Sahriv's mother. Aged 162. A high priestess of Vulcan. T'Vakh was once a Starfleet Communications Officer, present during the V'Ger Incident. She retired upon becoming pregnant with Sahriv at the middle age of 111. Upon realising that her son (whom she didn't want in the first place) had a serious mental defect, it was she who suggested that young Sahriv be taken from them and sent to board. Strel Sahriv's paternal grandfather. Aged 234. Retired citizen of Vulcan and former Ambassador to the Gamma Quadrant. Due to his strained relationship with Sking, he has never met Sahriv. Strel was recently diagnosed with the early stages of Bendii Syndrome, unbeknownst to his Grandson.
