Tash Zubowskivich: Difference between revisions

Tash was born in a quiet town in Indiana, surrounded by corn, horses, and his family. His father died when he was 6, so he has very few memories of him.  His heritage is a mixture of Lithuanian, Hungarian, and Irish.  He is able to trace his lineage back to the fall of the Soviet Union.

He had a happy childhood. Properly educated, but raised very conservative (comparitive to a strict Christian upbringing). He never had a single sex-ed class, never attended coed dances, and didn't become close to any member of another species until he left for the Academy.

 

His choice to go to the Academy was considered a scandle by his family.  Few members understood his desire to leave home, having always assumed he would continue with the families work, which revolves around Equine skills.  However, Tash grew out of the confines of his families traditional lifestyle.  He looks on his upbringing as a limitation, and often overcompensates to convince himself and others that he isn't a country-boy.  Though his family often infuriates him, there's nothing more important to him.  He remains particularly close to his sister Tye.

Competent, but not intellectually gifted, he is very physically active.  He is fairly uncomfortable around telepaths and empaths (which could make for good in-SIMming-conflict). Rather paranoid when in unfamiliar situations, he isn't easy to surprise. His greatest fear is his own failure, for which he berates himself constantly (whether or not he did indeed 'fail').  

During his time at the Academy, he was befriended by a female Klingon, the Klingon Martial Arts Instructor.  She saw potential in him.  He could never pronounce her full name, and so refers to her simply as Ka'La. They spent their evenings practicing combat and shooting in the holodecks. He keeps in contact with her. Because of this close contact he has good knowledge of Klingon culture, much to the dismay of his mother. He speaks the Klingon language fairly well for a lowly Human, and tends to use it in tense situations.  :)
