He graduated in 2385 and later that year started studying botany at the Vulcan Science Academy. The people there didn’t accept the way that Lorian lived, but they did agree that he was a brilliant botanist, so logic dictated they let him stay. After six tedious years at the academy, Lorian finally decided he was done. He packed his things and left his old life behind. He applied to join Starfleet and was accepted soon after.

Soon after joining Starfleet, he realized he could finally use his humor without being shunned. This realization changed Lorian’s life. He began to lax his emotional control, he became more human-like mentally. He didn’t fit in with the Vulcan cliques at the academy, instead he mostly had human friends.

Lorian is | Lorian, to put it simply, is not your average Vulcan. While he does have the classic Vulcan intuition and work ethic, he takes his time to enjoy himself. His work is his passion, his plants are more to him than mere lifeforms, they are his life's work, and he treats them as such. This passion, due to him not following the teachings of Surak, has manifested into more of an obsession due to his emotions being more extreme than most other humanoids. His sense of humor is also allowed to thrive due to his lifestyle, making the Vulcan, at least of the surface, seem jovial and upbeat at most times. In the face of reality, however, his hardships, losses, and history of running away has driven him to persistent alcohol usage as a coping mechanism. Like his passion turning to obsession, his enjoyment has turned to addiction, for the alternative is a deep sadness that he fears has turned into something worse. | ||
