Background


Sera’s worldview up until leaving Vulcan to enter Starfleet Academy was incredibly insular even to mainstream Vulcan’s standard. This was due in part to her rather unorthodox upbringing within a remote clan (Lyr Zor) that could trace back their origins and their allegiances to well before the time of Surak. Her clan is isolated by remote geography in the Southern hemisphere, Jia'anKahr, within the Lyr T'aya region, is an ancient walled city abutting the Vuldi Gorge; and does not make a habit of welcoming nonmembers.

The ancient Lyr Zor, once spoken of in fervent whispers, were secretive, martial in nature, and were utilized by some Royal Houses as spies and assassins, if the price was right. They were one of the last clans to at least outwardly adopt Surak’s teachings and, even then, did not open themselves to outsiders. Much of the clan’s social customs, behaviors, and hierarchy are still unknowns even in modern day, and this is just how the clan wants it.

“Misdirection is the key to survival. Never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength. If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.” - Denak M'Lyr'Zor, Follower of Tellus

Sera found the prospect of continuing in the family business to be less than a desirable future for herself. That coupled with an engagement to a boor of a male which her mother insisted upon to bring greater power and prestige to their family within Clan Lyr'Zor, caused Sera to consider her options.

The exact details of the catalyst which spurred her application to Starfleet Academy is not something that Sera ever discusses with anyone (except for that one time), as it is a most private and frankly distressing event she has little desire to recount. Needless to say, after her pre-marital bond was dissolved, Sera abandoned her family and community and fled to Shir'Kahr for the express purpose of learning the required Federation Standard and taking the Starfleet entrance exam.

Personality


Sera, generally acts in a manner consistent to a typical Vulcan. However, do not be fooled. She has been known act in ways which are utterly inconsistent with Vulcan ways at times. She doesn't mean to do it...it just happens. She's been meditating; it's a work in progress.

Social interaction is an illogically intuitive process, in Sera's mind, and outcomes of this inherently fascinating process have been mixed. This does nothing to stop her from continued attempts, as more research and experimentation must be performed before an increase in success rates can be achieved.

She “enjoys” understanding how things work, and that extends from ship systems to those she serves with. That desire for dissecting things to achieve complete understanding is what drove her to declare as an Engineering major...that and she was not about to go into Security or Tactical even though she obtained higher aptitude scores in that arena because, you know...reasons.

Relationships

Lt. Dekas
personal and professional

Currently serving as Head of Infrastructure Development on Denali Station

Everyone’s favorite scarlet feathered engineer! Dekas has proven to be a stalwart friend to all he meets. His Aurelian culture is on full display as he interacts with all those he has an opportunity to engage with, and Sera counts herself fortunate to work and associate with him. His presence during her first duty station helped make the transition from academy cadet to functioning Starfleet Officer most agreeable. Although perhaps not a Vulcan sentiment...Sera will miss his colorful plumage and optimistic outlook on life that is uniquely Dekas.

Engineering Officer currently serving on Denali Station

One tends to create a bond with another when both experience out-of-body experiences together. Kettick and Sera got an opportunity to play dress-up in an alien holosuite program which didn’t require their corporeal bodies to participate. Sera finds Kettick’s thought processes fascinating and finds his presence most acceptable. Once Sera’s secret got out (in her defense she had skipped meditation), Kettick informed her that if ever another need for a champion arose, he would volunteer. Indeed.


Fun Facts and Trivia


  • Has developed an irrational "unease" of the dark after being taken possessed and shoved into a mental closet.
  • She only learned Federation Standard to join Starfleet.
  • Sera willingly tries new things in a most un-Vulcan-like manner. This includes food and drink, activities; just about anything, really.
  • Sera is a TERRIBLE swimmer; in fact, she makes a much better rock in the water, TBH
  • Doesn't draw any attention to it, but Sera is QUITE skilled in hand-to-hand unarmed combat, and her lirpa skills are killer.
  • Sera cannot wink. It is now a work in progress.
  • Sera has been referred to as "A spicy Vulcan" (Trovek Arys), whatever that means. More research must be performed to determine actual intent behind saying.

Fashion & Style


  • Off-Duty Dress: Usually wears something Starfleet Issue. Pulls from Human/Terran fashion for formal events...because. However, will wear appropriate Vulcan/clan attire from time to time.
  • Quarters: standard issue, however surprisingly cluttered for a Vulcan. Many empty spaces are filled with dissected equipment or devices under construction.
    • Prized Posession: Grandmother's meditation robe (due to the most unusual colors) [1]

Lyr'Zor Clan Colors/Wardrobe


The colors adopted by the Lyr'Zor clan (blacks, greys, and whites) do nothing to dispel their rather unsavory reputation of shadowy dealings and purportedly distasteful continuing practices. Heads subtly turn and bystanders step back when a Lyr'Zor-ian walks by. Lines are sharp, silhouettes are cut closer to the body than in popular Vulcan fashion, which favors earthy tones and long flowing lines. Even scandalous pleating is used from time-to-time just because...they do what they want.
