Gorshum believes in his theory of the “Creation Harmonic” to such an extent that he believes that there must have been some entity and intelligence and overall “Grand Composer” which emitted that singular note or frequency which caused the universe to expand from a single dense particle out into the known wide universe. It is this belief (and indeed borderline obsession and passion of Gorshum’s that fuels all his academic and intellectual pursuits and ambitions. In all ways he seeks to align himself with the balance of what he has hypothesized about that singular harmonic...that it is at once something peaceful and graceful, as it is chaotic and full of energy and powers of transformation. | |||

Music! Gorshum is consumed by music, from all races and cultures and differing time periods and enjoys a wide variety dependant on his particular mood. Perhaps more prone to classical orchestrations than anything, Gorshum often enjoys relaxing in his chambers with his surrounding playback equipment which allows him to both hear and feel and “visualize” the sound patterns of his music via his antennas. Gorshum is also talented as a violin and andorian flute player, which is his specialty. | Music!

Because his remaining senses have become that much more heightened, Gorshum also enjoys the benefits of a highly defined sense of taste and often enjoys sampling delicacies from other cultures and races including his more native cuisine. Among his favorite dishes are select varieties of ale and wine paired with finger foods and cheeses and refined cultural party fair. Gorshum though has one food addiction that is perhaps not as detrimental health wise as it could be socially to most members of the crew: Gorshum has grown quite fond of eating a raw onion, skin and all just like one would do an apple. Perhaps this is because when he was first introduced to them he mistook them for apples, or perhaps it is simply he loves the same crunch and overwhelming taste that so many others would be revolted about, but try as he might, he cant quite seem to nix this rather bad (and smelly) habit! | Because his remaining senses have become that much more heightened, Gorshum also enjoys the benefits of a highly defined sense of taste and often enjoys sampling delicacies from other cultures and races including his more native cuisine.

Gorshum is generally even and well tempered, if not a bit on the more brooding and silently processing nature. However he can be known to some moments of greater agitation and frustration, most notably around his work if something eludes his grasp, or when others try to baby or coddle him because of his blindness. This is particularly so as Gorshum does not see himself as being handicapped, not even by most peoples standards. He is so confidant in his abilities, in his constantly refining senses, in his physical prowess which he continually maintains and pushes to new heights, and in his intellect and overall perceptive powers that he sees his inability to see as merely a single obstacle that he has long since overcome. | Gorshum is generally even and well tempered, if not a bit on the more brooding and silently processing nature.

Gorshum’s only noticeable weakness is of course that of his inherited blindness from his Aenar side of his heritage. Gorshum is indeed, 100% physical blindness, with his eyes covered with thick milky white cateracts since birth. However, to say that Gorshum cannot “see” or make use of his environment or is incapable of being a successful member of StarFleet would also be a gross understatement of his abilities. For what Gorshum lacks with his physical vision he more than makes up for in his remaining senses. Taste, Touch, Hearing, Smell, and even some latent Telepathic abilities all are greater assets to him and his perception of the world than most others who rely more heavily on sight. | Gorshum’s only noticeable weakness is of course that of his inherited blindness from his Aenar side of his heritage.

As well, as Gorshum is Andorian, he is aided quite adeptly by his antenna, which allow him to percieve his world in a way very much reminiscent of sonar in some earth animals. Feeding directly into the brain, the Andorian Antenna’s are so sensitive that it is quite rare for them to be snuck up on or to be caught unguard and are capable of picking up on the tinniest fluctuations of vibrations, sound, and even energy readings. | As well, as Gorshum is Andorian, he is aided quite adeptly by his antenna, which allow him to percieve his world in a way very much reminiscent of sonar in some earth animals.

Still....in the world of Starfleet, there can be a need to experience the world in still yet a more tangible and “visual” way. Viewing computer data, and other “on screen imagery” would normally prove quite difficult for someone who was visually impaired, but because of the particular technology that He employs in his everyday use, Gorshum is equally as capable as his seeing counterparts. Attached to his wrist and forearm, Gorshum wears a specially designed interface pannel which is fit with a much more “touch” friendly keypad, and is able to essentially tap into most computer terminals on board the ship and access them directly. Wirelessly connected to this wrist padd is a specifically designed headpiece or helmet which he wears. This headpiece is equipped no only with his communications and auditory equipment for isolating specific sounds as is most needed for his work, but also has an hear piece which allows for the transmission of text data to be converted auditorially for his interpretation. The rest of the helmet, particularly around his brow, and up to where it opens again to allow the free flowing movement of his Andorian antenna, is sort of a re-visualized concept of the Star Fleet Andorian Battle helmet and is used to specifically upon command of his keypadd, take visual data and transmitted it in such a way as to be perceived by his Antenna.) | Still....in the world of Starfleet, there can be a need to experience the world in still yet a more tangible and “visual” way.
