User:Hiro Jones/Jarris

Jarris is a Vulcan, who's fascination with Humans drove to join Starfleet. His penchant for the human word-play called "puns" and the effects such turn-of-phrase seemingly has on those around him inspired him to become a counselor, in an effort to bring logic through seemingly illogical means.
