Background
The Roehls, a family of unjoined Trill scientists, had two children fairly early in their lives in the twins Motor and Voram. The two were inseparable, despite their aspirations for very different things -- Voram wanted to follow in the footsteps of her parents, while Motor wanted to be Joined. Despite some trepidation from their parents on both fronts, they were supportive in each endeavor, but neither would have likely succeeded without their sibling's help.
Voram was well on her way to being an accomplished researcher in the field of Exobiology, while Motor cut their teeth on the medical sciences with a more practical leaning (another thing that their parents hesitated on, but supported them in anyway). They were less keen on academics and more on helping people. Motor graduated medical school with a doctorate at 26 years old.
It took some effort, but Motor managed to be one of the lucky trill selected for joining. Vihn, a symbiont known previously as an artist, architect, and cook, had lost their host. And so, Motor Roehl became Motor Vihn.
As with all joined Trill, something of a rift formed between them and their family. Motor was still wholly Motor, but now also wholly Vihn. This rift grew further when Motor decided to leave Trill altogether, both to apply their medical training abroad and to give the Symbiont a new experience in their constant striving for higher learning. This eventually led them to Starfleet, where they found (and still find) themself completely out of their element. Motor graduated Starfleet academy with a degree in Exobiology.
When things aren't serious, neither are they -- when they are dire, so are they. Their nature as a Joined Trill can sometimes make them seem unapproachable and particularly alien, but they are generally quite friendly.
They are the sixth host of the Vihn symbiote, preceded by (in chronological order of most recent to least) Yuzra (an artist), Jiariss (an architect), Caanin (a chef), Riaseel (a politician), and Rolau (a Trill historian). This is a double-edged sword: Vihn truly has no experience in the sciences, so all of this is so incredibly new to them, but, unlike many Trill, they can't rely on decades of Starfleet experience. They might as well be any other Ensign, as far as their combat or field experience is concerned.
