* '''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. Sometimes, this can be long or short-sleeved depending on the temperature. 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 resortwear like swim trunks when the time and location are appropriate—a rare sight 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.

* ''' | * '''Manner of Speech''': When in a professional context, Savan's speech borrows certain Vulcan locutions. However, when speaking among close friends and family from his life on Terra, Savan quickly sounds far more colloquial. Some wonder whether is his manner of speaking in Starfleet in some kind of affectation or a personal cover, a way to cover up for his more emotional nature. | ||
* '''Physical Mannerisms''': 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 often cocks his right eyebrow. Depending on the occasion, he will show the beginning of a smile. | |||
* '''Carriage''': Because of Savan’s intense training in martial arts and sports, he moves with an elegance and quiet power. In fact, there is an almost some feline, animalistic way to how he moves at times, especially when he is tight quarters. Generally, though, he walks with a clean, confident stride, more expansive than other Vulcans. | * '''Carriage''': Because of Savan’s intense training in martial arts and sports, he moves with an elegance and quiet power.

* '''Personal Philsophy''': One of Savan’s friends in college at the University of California joked half-seriously that Savan “aims to live long and prosper on his own term.” While it was meant to be taken humorously, Savan found the description to quite “logical and accurate.” | * '''Personal Philsophy''': One of Savan’s friends in college at the University of California joked half-seriously that Savan “aims to live long and prosper on his own term.” While it was meant to be taken humorously, Savan found the description to quite “logical and accurate.” | ||

* '''Drink''': Savan mainly drinks strong coffee, Vulcan and Terran teas and water.

He will avoid Romulan ale and tequila, as he has noted that both spirits produced “somewhat regrettable after-effects.” He has admitted that he did partake of too many “indulgences," including tequila, while a university student. | * '''Drink''': Savan mainly drinks strong coffee, Vulcan and Terran teas and water.
