* '''Hair Style and Length''': Savan varies the length of his hair, from shortly cropped to medium long, at which he points he ties his hair in a simple pony tail. He also varies his hair style. The one haircut he absolutely avoids is what he calls the "Vulcan bowl cut." When Savan first arrived on Earth with that hair style, his cousins repeatedly made fun of it, but he stubbornly kept it until age 14. At that time, when Savan later admitted he was possibly interested in a classmate, they suggested he change it to a more Terran style. They also added it increased his chances of going out on a date. He immediately cut since the new haircut would be more effective, hence a more logical choice. And it was. | * '''Hair Style and Length''': Savan varies the length of his hair, from shortly cropped to medium long, at which he points he ties his hair in a simple pony tail.

* '''Scars''': There is long scar at the top of his skull from when he bashed his head against a rock while surfing. This is usually hidden by his hair, however. | * '''Scars''': There is long scar at the top of his skull from when he bashed his head against a rock while surfing.

* '''Tattoos''': Savan has a tattoo on his upper left back, above his shoulder blade. He usually won't discuss it, but it is for a friend who died while he was in college. He also has a Tahitian tattoo on his right leg, which was done by his adopted mother's family in Tahiti. | * '''Tattoos''': Savan has a tattoo on his upper left back, above his shoulder blade.

Sometimes, this can be long, short-sleeved, or sleeveless depending on the temperature. He also likes dress in one single color, with a strong preference for dark blue, white, black, and grey. For meditation, 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 trunks and sun glasses, when the time and location are appropriate. As Vulcans are rarely seen tanning on beaches on Earth, Savan is an uncommon sight. | ||
* '''Voice''': Savan’s voice has a warm, deep timber. Some have even said it is relaxing–at least when Savan is calm. | * '''Voice''': Savan’s voice has a warm, deep timber. Some have even said it is relaxing–at least when Savan is calm. | ||
* '''Manner of Speech''': When in a professional context, Savan's speech borrows common Vulcan locutions in Federation standard. However, when speaking among close friends and family from his life on Terra, Savan quickly takes on a far more colloquial and almost human tone. Some wonder whether is his manner of speaking in Starfleet is some kind of affectation or a personal cover, a way to cover up for his more emotional nature. When asked, Savan insists that his formal way of speaking is an adaption of the usual, polite honorific speech commonly used by Vulcans. Casual speech is reserved only for close friends and families, he insists. | * '''Manner of Speech''': When in a professional context, Savan's speech borrows from common Vulcan locutions often heard in Federation standard.

Off-duty, though, he is much more relaxed, looking almost like an entirely different person. When he is far away from anything Starfleet related, his body language looks almost human. | ||
* '''Facial Expressions''': Savan shows a far more dynamic range than most Vulcans. Sometimes, he seems very serene.When confronted with items of interest, surprise or humor, he often cocks his right eyebrow. In the midst of stressful activity, he can look intense, even fierce. His gaze can be very strong at times. Obviously, this can intimidate some. Often, he will show an almost smile, not bearing his teeth, but it does convey friendliness. When in very comfortable situation, his expression becomes almost human. With close friends and family, he will smile more openly. The sight surprises some humans when they see him like this for the first. | * '''Facial Expressions''': Savan shows a far more dynamic range than most Vulcans.

* '''Carriage''': Because of Savan’s intense training in martial arts and sports, he moves with a graceful 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 or in combat. 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 a graceful elegance and quiet power.
