* '''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.  

* '''Telepathic Skills''': Savan missed much of the mental training that occurs during young Vulcan adulthood. His adoptive father Torin only has some intermediate training, which he did teach to Savan. Savan also had some training from a Vulcan teacher on Terra, but it was nothing compared to what a Vulcan of the same age would already master. Several psychiatrists have recommended that Savan avoid for the time being any mental training necessary for the ability to meld, as his emotional boundaries may be too weak. Savan has only melded three times in his life, and it was an intense, often uncomfortable experience for both Savan and the melder. That said, Savan does possess some intuitive abilities, often able to detect subtle emotions from others. His lack of learning strict mental disciplines can make him more telepathically pliant, which could cause dangers from telepathic species. Challenges aside, there is nothing in Savan's current physiology that would prevent him developing his telepathic skills like any other Vulcan. Hence, he is a potential T5. However, in practice, his lack of training and concurrent psychological issues make his practical status T0+.

'''Abilities and Interests'''

* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Savan is an undeniably an active outdoors person. His main pastimes include martial arts, hiking, wilderness survival training, surfing, swimming, and outrigger canoe paddling. He is also developing an interest in holophotography. Savan also enjoys dancing, both as an artistic practice and as a social activity. (Savan taught an extracurricular tango class at the Academy his senior year.)

* '''Dislikes''': Bureaucracy, Vulcan snobbery and arrogance, tequila, closed-up spaces with no views

The heavy course load did take a notable consequence on his social life. While liked by most of his classmates, he had little free time to develop the usual camaraderie that most cades enjoy. As Savan had already had an outgoing social life during his civilian university experience, he felt it unnecessary to repeat the experience. However, he did lead the Academy's martial arts club his senior year and taught recreational courses in Suus Mahna and Wushu.

'''Addendum''' Recent studies indicate that more advanced stages of ESFD may have effects similar to Bendii Syndrome. Notably, the sufferer of ESFD may be indirectly and unconsciously project his emotions onto others in his immediate environment. As Savan does not present up a diagnosis of advanced ESFD at this time, there is no immediate concern for any accidental projection of emotions. However, the subject should consult with a professional upon any signs of advanced ESFD. This may become a concern later in life with the onset of old age.
