Mikk Toral's quarters can be slightly messy at times as he is not really very good at keeping perfect order. So you might find some socks or uniform pants lying on the floor or on the bed. Or there might be some padds on the table that haven't been put away yet from the day before.  
Surprisingly enough when you know him on duty, Mikk Toral's quarters can be slightly messy at times as he is not really very good at keeping perfect order. So you might find some socks or uniform pants lying on the floor or on the bed. Or there might be some padds on the table that haven't been put away yet from the day before.  


He keeps several things that remind him of his family back on the Trill homeworld and of course of his daughter Alarra. He also likes to have some plants in his quarters as the standard room is too sterile and cold for him.

Mikk likes to play holo novels in his free time. Although he works in security, his favourite free-time holonovels are (also) detective stories, as he likes to solve the riddle of finding the 'bad guys'.

Apart from that he likes doing some sports as this helps him to stay fit and to get his head free again after a long day of scientific research. He is especially fond of surfing. Therefore he created a variety of holodeck programmes with all different sorts of locations which are famous throughout the galaxy for their perfect waves for surfing.

** Bullying
** Bullying
Mikk was bullied by other Trill children in when he attended primary school as his spots were lighter than usual. This is due to the fact that one of his grandmothers was human. Therefore he doesn't like bullying and he developed a good sense of fairness.

Due to his own experiences in his childhood days, Mikk has a good sense of fairness. Mikk Toral is an idealist. He sticks close to the rules and regulations of Strafleet as he thinks they are the guarantee that everything is dealt with in the best possible way. His major task - as he sees it - is to provide for the safety of the ship and the crew and in a wider sense the Federation. So the old earth police motto "to serve and protect" really fits him best. Mikk doesn't like to have to use his weapon and tries to avoid it if he can. If he has to use it though, he wouldn't hesitate to do so either.

Mikk Toral has a fairly frank and cheerful character. Furthermore, you could describe him as rather selfless as he tries to help others when they need help. Therefore, he worked very well in teams. It takes some time until he really calls someone a friend and he has only a handful of really close ones. If he really got to know a person and likes her / him, he is a good sport. He really likes bantering with his friends. During his time at the Academy, he wasn't hostile to student life and spent lots of evenings out with his friends. He still likes to get to know new people and is quite a social person. However, there are those times when he needs to be alone. Then he is not in the mood of talking and just wants to sit in the dark looking out the starship's windows into the vast space outside.

A negative character trait is that he can be quite grumpy early in the mornings and he needs at least two cups of strong coffee before he starts to feel and act okay again.

His daughter Alarra really means the world to him, so it is really hard for him not to be able to have her onboard the Gemini for now. However, as he is a single parent and there is no other close family member, it is his greatest personal concern to make this happen as soon as it is possible.

On stardate 236406.25 Mikk Toral was born as to Kall and Boldara in the city of Gheryzan on the Trill homeworld. He would describe his early childhood days as a really happy time. The problems started in primary school when some kids started teasing him because of his smaller, unincisive spots. His parental mother was human and this could still be seen. Mikk was really afflicted with that bullying. It took some time before he told his parents about it since he was afraid it might get worse when the other kids found out he told them about it. Eventually the problem could be solved with the help of the teachers and when he got older, he found some real friends.

Nevertheless, this episode in his life still plays a major role for him, although he wouldn't admit it to anyone apart from his really close friends. When he was 13 years old, his younger sister was born. He really adores his younger sister and Mikk is the big brother everyone would like to have. Shortly afterwards their mother died and his father had to raise them both alone.

When he turned 18, he tried to get into the joining programme, but his application was turned down by the Symbiosis Commission because of possible problems for the symbiont due to his human grandmother. This argumentation really hurt him inside as it revived his childhood memories of his time being bullied. He decided to leave his homeworld shortly afterwards to join Starfleet Academy.
