Appearance
- Height: 1.98 m (6'6")
- Weight: 97.52 kg (215 lbs)
- Hair: Dark brown
- Eyes: Green with brown tint
- Build: Lean and muscular with long limbs.
- Scars: There is long scar at the top of his skull from when he bashed his head against a rock while surfing. This is usually hidden by his air, however.
- Tattoos: Savan has a tattoo on his upper left back, above his shoulder blade. He usually won't discuss it, but it is for a friend who died while he was in college.
- Taste in Clothing (when off duty): When out of uniform, Savan tends to dress in a minimally decorated soft suit in neutral colors, underneath which he wears a solid-colored sweater or t-shirt. He tends to dress in one single color, with a strong preference for dark blue, white, black, and grey. For meditaiton, he wears a Vulcan robe but notably without any of the usual Vulcan markings. Due to living on Earth and spending time in humid tropical climates, he does enjoy wearing swim wear like swim trunks when the time and location are appropriate—a rare site for Vulcans.
- Voice: Savan’s voice has a warm, deep timber.
- Mannierisms: When on duty, Savan adopts an almost military posture, leaving his hands at his side or behind his back. When confronted with items of interest, surprise or humor, he cocks his right eyebrow.
- Carriage: Because of Savan’s intense training in martial arts and sports, he moves with an elegance and quiet power. In fact, there is almost some feline, slightly animalistic at times, especially when he is tight quarters. Generally, though, he walks with a clean, confident stride, more expansive than other Vulcans.

Personality
In one of his most remarkable traits, Savan is far more open emotionally expressive than what is typical of average Vulcans. The personality trait is a result from early Trellium D exposure at age 10 and his subsequent development of ESFD (Emotional Suppresion Failure Disorder), which rendering him unable to develop the skills and technique to suppress his emotions. Moreover, he grew up on Earth from his early teens, so exposure to non-native cultures has also made significant changes to his overall temperment.
In terms of general personality, Savan is regularly described as friendly. Neverthleess, Savan remains comparatively reserved compared to humans. On a unique note, Savan does have an occasional habit of smiling and even laughing or, more usually, almost smiling. Equally, Savan can express on occasion emotional upset, such as anger or sadness, though he is more likely to retreat into privacy on those occasions or wait for the emotional climax to pass before discussing it. Savan has regularly explained that Vulcan emotions are far stronger and wilder than those of humans, therefore requiring far more attention and discipline. Due to his ESFD diagnosis, Savan does have to regularly moderate the intensity of emotions. Extreme emotions, whether positive or negative, can have a negative impact on his pyschological well being, undoing his usual reserve and producing behavior that can be erratic, disruptive or even dangerous. However, Savan maintains a regular program of intense physical exercise, meditation, and sport. Coupled with regular medication, EFSD generally causes no problems.
It should be noted though that Savan, despite his emotional expressiveness, has not turned his back on logic in favor of his passions. In this sense, Savan would not be considered as one of the Vʻtosh Kaʻtur (Vulcans without Logic), which is understandable as his psychological condition is medical. Instead, Savan has dedicated himself to finding internal harmony between the path of logic and his undeniable emotional nature.
Savan places high value on his personal friendships, though he has preferred a small circle of family, close friends and intimates. He will go beyond the limit to ensure and protect the well-being of those he values.
Another strong character trait is intensity and dedication. Savan will apply himself completely to both work and leisure. Besides his openness and relative friendliness, Savan’s intensity is frequently noted by non-Vulcans. Most frequently, he is described as “passionate” and “deeply dedicated” to his interests, personal and private.
