Personality Traits
Satoc is contemplative and reflective to the point of
near reclusiveness. He is very philosophical and
introspective, which can come off as arrogance and
indifference. Satoc is deeply committed to logic and
the resolution of a fundamental logical paradox that
has plagued him since young adulthood. It is hard for
people to break through Satoc’s outer shell. Most of
his acquaintances are just that – acquaintances. Many
people are put off by what often appears to be a wall
of cold logic. Those that have the patience and
determination to break through Satoc’s outer shell,
however, find a very deeply committed friend, who
despite the Vulcan loathe for emotion, find that he is
very dedicated to those few he has grown attached to.
Background
Like all Vulcan children, Satoc was trained to control
his emotions through logic and meditation from a very
early age. Upon completing primary schooling, Satoc
entered the Vulcan Science Academy where he developed
an intense interest in non-Vulcan cultures. He
graduated on stardate 238007.17 with a doctoral degree
in Cultural Anthropology after conducting extensive
fieldwork among the Galipotan people. Soon after
graduation he accepted a position teaching Cultural
Anthropology at the Argelian College of Science.
Satoc’s studies instilled in him a concept of respect
for other cultures and appreciation for cultural
differences. The significance of this perspective
created a logical problem for Satoc. If all cultures
should be valued and all cultural differences
appreciated in all forms, are there no universal
principles? And if there are in fact universal
principles, then can all forms of diversity truly be
valued, even the ones that do not value what one holds
to be universal principles? In an attempt to resolve
this personal paradox, Satoc underwent the Kolinahr
ritual around stardate 238204 to fully master his
emotions and find clarity in pure logic.
Finding that the pure logic of Kolinar provided no
real answers to his dilemma, Satoc concluded that he
would join Starfleet in an attempt to experience a
wide array of cultures and viewpoints. He gave up his
professorship and applied to Starfleet Academy where
he was accepted into the Science Program. He augmented
his background in Anthropology with a study of general
physical science and starship operations. Through
broad exposure to different cultural backgrounds that
a career in Star Fleet will afford, Satoc hopes to
resolve his personal questions and find peace in a
logical solution.
