Background

Sival was born in Rh’lar city on Vulcan on stardate 232410.03 to a Vulcan mother and Human father. Sival inherited typical Vulcan attributes, such as superior strength, endurance and mental abilities when compared to Humans. Physically, he appeared Vulcan through and through. However, even though green blood ran through his veins, his heart was undoubtedly and unabashedly Human. Rather than choosing either a Vulcan or Human “way of life”, Sival believed it was important to break the binary and cultivate his own, unique identity, striving to find balance and harmony among the two species inside of him. The result was an identity that was truly his and belonged to a race and culture all its own.

Childhood

As a child, Sival was endlessly the explorer, always wanting to know what was out there, striving to be open-minded and objective when analyzing whatever he encountered. It could be said that Sival was an explorer of the mind as well, often getting lost in his own thoughts, ruminating over creative and original solutions. It was this inquisitive nature, along with his love for solving mysteries and piecing together puzzles about the natural world that motivated Sival to tag along with his father as he practiced family medicine.

Education

Sival's own Human compassion and the example of his father’s empathy that compelled him to choose medicine as a career. Thus, Sival completed a Medical Degree in comparative physiology, then, perhaps inspired by his unique and very personal experience regarding his own sense of self, he obtained a Ph.D. in Psychology and an additional M.D. in Psychiatry.

Condar Hospital

  Role: Resident - Differential Diagnosis, Comparative Physiology
  Role: General Practitioner - Family Medicine 

Starting his career as a resident at the Condar Hospital on Betazed, Sival strived to match his level of creativity and curiosity with that of his discipline, completing his work precisely and objectively. It was throughout this time, partly by virtue of working on Betazed, Sival nurtured his sense of compassion for all sentient beings.

Médecins Sans Frontières

  Roles: General Practitioner and Emergency Medicine
  Events: Hobus Supernova
  Locations: Vashti

It was an unyielding drive to heal others that led Sival to working with Médecins Sans Frontières. Sival’s ability to analyze problems, spot irregularities and come up with original, practical solutions with limited resources was valued by the corps. During this period, Sival worked with many species, including refugees from the evacuation of the Romulan Homeworld, encounters which would also shape his unique relationship with his emotional mind.

Psychiatry Practice

  Role: Psychiatrist - Sally Bellero Psychiatric Institute, University Hospital, Mars
  Role: Psychiatrist - Hartford Hospital, Earth
  Role: General Practitioner - Family Medicine, Hartford Hospital, Earth 

Sival was drawn back to the Sol System by a desire to further explore what it means “to be”, setting up his own psychiatry practices working with Trauma and PTSD patients, many of whom were current or former members of Starfleet. Thus, Starfleet was constantly being brought to the forefront of his mind, both by way of compassion for his patients and his own curiosity about the organizations.

Starfleet Academy

After some years of reflection, Sival realized that Starfleet was a place where he could make a difference. It provided him with opportunities to heal along with the resources that intellectually stimulated him and offered a way for him to acquire new knowledge, solve conundrums and seek Truth with a capital "T". Sival also considered himself to already be an explorer of the natural world, the workings of sentient minds, and the mysteries of heart, so what better place to be an explorer than Starfleet?

Starfleet

Sival’s first posting was on the USS Arrow. He was inactive for a time. He attended academy retraining and was reposted to the USS Juneau.


Philosophy

.

Emotions

Sival believes that emotions should be regulated, not suppressed. Sival believes that emotions have functions, and they can provide us with critical information when they are effectively regulated.1 This said, Sival refrains from expressing emotion in most situations, as he considers it unprofessional or bad form. He will show emotions in a calm and restrained manner however among friends and colleagues. Additionally, Sival must either suppress or regulate his emotions to prevent them from becoming too intense and causing damage to his Human/Vulcan biochemistry - he has chosen to regulate them using various techniques. As Sival already appears Vulcan and projects many Vulcan mannerisms, he has accepted that only his closest companions will ever learn this information about him. .

Some Emotion Regulation Techniques that Sival has Used:

  Grounding.2 (Vulcan Meditation)
  Non-judgmental observation.3 (Human Mindfulness)
  Cognitive-behavioral Therapy - "We feel how we think".4 (Human Psychology)
  Checklists.5 (Human Aviation)
