+Lieutenant Junior Grade '''Alleran Tan''' was a helmsman and pilot last assigned to the [[USS Independence-A]]. Currently, Alleran Tan is on a prolonged Leave of Absence due to personal issues mostly stemming from killing six Vaadwaur during the [[Second Battle of Eratis]], including fears of dying alone like his [[Tan, Marlee|previous host]]. These fears, uncertainties and doubts destroyed his relationship with [[Riley, Sidney|Captain Sidney Riley]].

 * '''Mannerisms/Habits''': Impulsive, even reckless, Tan's aggressive flying style has earned him both praise and scorn from his crewmates. Several notable "incidences" have lead him to begin to consider the wisdom of defensive flying, if only occasionally.
 * '''Temperment''': Tan becomes nervous in formal situations, such as mission briefings. When relaxed, his sense of humour is often self-depreciating and occasionally crude.

 ''' Leave of Absence on the recently colonized Vaadwaur world'''
-* 2387, October: Alleran Tan is rejected by Sidney Riley. Unable to cope with his mounting personal issues (stemming from the Vaadwaur occupation of Deep Space 17), Tan is clearly unable to perform his duties. Despite repeated attempts to council him by members of the crew, Tan eventually writes a personal letter to every single member of the command staff and files for a leave of absence. He plans to spend this time living on the newly settled Vaadwaur world, assisting with the relief and reconstruction effort there. He expects this absence to last a very long time, but he vows very clearly to return.

 Tan has a thing for powerful, strong women. He tends to wear his heart on his sleeve and has been known to fall victim to silly crushes. He is known for moving very fast with relationships and becoming a little possessive and clingy, something that destroyed his whirlwind relationship with [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]], whom he considers his soulmate.
+Currently in the middle of a long period of soul-searching, Tan has sworn off Passion for the moment and feels that there really is nobody in the universe for him. He claims to be at peace with this decision.
 * [[Avandar, S'Peek]] - When Tan's first host Marlee was placed into Avandar's head she took an immediate, quite sexual liking to the Vulcan/Betazoid. Although not feelings the whole combined Alleran Tan feels, Marlee's emotions were mixed back into the full, joined self when the former host's personality was transplanted back into its rightful owner. Tan finds the whole situation highly amusing.

 [[Riley, Sidney]] deserves special mention. Tan and Riley hit it off immediately, and within days of meeting each other had arranged a date and spent a fair amount of time together. Tan and Riley went on one-and-a-bit dates, kissed several times, Riley called herself 'his girl'... but after she was injured in [[Operation Bright Star]], Tan threw himself into helping her recover.
+But nothing could wake Sidney from her slump. It took the surprise, somewhat-frightening visit of [[Clack, Darius|an old friend of Sidney's]], along with a powerful kiss from that friend, to make her remember who she was. Hours later, Sidney broke it off with Tan, citing his protectiveness and several possessive comments had made to the crew... but stressed to him that she wanted to remain his friend. Devastated, Tan could not cope with the rejection and his mounting personal issues and sought a leave of absence.
+He later came to realise that Sidney was a symptom and not a problem; that while he feels that she was cruel and flippant with his feelings, the majority of the fault lies with him and his issues. He opened his heart to Yin regarding these issues and she was instrumental in him regaining some of his composure and emotional stability.
