* '''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. | * '''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.

After several months of discussion between Staran and Torin, Torin travel to Vulcan to meet Savan and, after a positive meeting with Savan and his uncle, Savan took the then 12-year-old Savan into his custody and brought him to Santa Cruz. Savan proved to be an entirely new challenge. Unlike his own children who were of a mixed background—and hence with more moderate human traits—Savan was a pure Vulcan who possessed the strong emotions and passions of his ancestors. In some ways, Savan had the raw, unfiltered rage fit for a Klingon youth—an emotional quality that Torin knew came from Savan’s loss of his two parents and the inability for Vulcan society to accept him or his parents. Moreover, the proscribed medical and psychiatric treatments proved only to be moderately effective at best. As an anthropologist, Torin contacted parents of mixed species children for desperate advice. . The parents of two part-Klingon children had found one successful outlet for their children: intense physical activities that required immense discipline. Their advice proved to be an effective channel for Savan. Torin managed to enroll Savan into various martial arts programs and wilderness survival programs. Then came the ocean. Torin's wife, Tevai, was a human and originally an accomplished surfer from Tahiti. Already in their late teens, his sons, Tauvin and Tarek, had proved highly successful in their mother's posrt and eventually taught Savan the art of wave riding and competitive swimming. As the human expression goes, Savan took to the sport like a fish to water. Tevai and his cousins would eventually take Savan on trips around Terra to different surf spots, Hawaii, Tahiti, Australia and Indonesia. It was during these travels that Savan discovered a love for the sea and tropical climates. | After several months of discussion between Staran and Torin, Torin travel to Vulcan to meet Savan and, after a positive meeting with Savan and his uncle, Savan took the then 12-year-old Savan into his custody and brought him to Santa Cruz.

'''High School and Earth''' Despite the initial challenges, Savan had managed to successfully adapt to life on Terra by the time he reached 15. Torin enrolled him in the Interspecies Day School in San Francisco, which boasted rigorous programs and students from across the Federation. He managed to develop several friendships with humans and later graduated as class valedictorian. | '''High School and Earth''' | ||
