James: Difference between revisions

While having been raised on the teachings of Surak, he is not the most adamant follower. Perhaps due to the influence of his mother, he views logical as a powerful tool and Surak's teachings as more of an instruction manual for it. Consistently there are times where another tool is necessary or the instruction manual needs to be ignored. As a result socially, he behaves far more emotionally than most Vulcans, although still far less than most other species as emotion is a far more suited tool there. Additionally, he will occasionally apply logic to Surak's teachings (For instance by justifying withholding information from the DTI on the Drake's temporal activities as the needs of the many who may be put into danger by revealing their existence outway his need, as a one, to not lie). This leaves him somewhat in the middle of being a follower of Surak and not following him.

|-

|S'bok - James' Father. Growing up he did not see as much of him as he would have liked too, however that has caused no resentment. Despite his unavailability, or perhaps as a result of it, S'bok took great efforts to be a good Father and teacher to his son.

|-

|Kaname Nakamura - James' Mother. She is directly responsible for James love for all things electrical due in part to the exposure he received from her job in the Daystrom Institute. As a result he had large access to old tech growing up. Behind that his Mother is also one of the few friends he had growing up and is still, in his mind, his greatest teacher.

|-  

|Admiral Sousuke Nakamura - James' Maternal Grandfather and a retired naval Admiral. James can still clearly remember his old story's of life on the sea. While the federation's navy was mostly for historical purposes by this point, Sousuke still described it with passion. This probably had influence on James' decision to join Starfleet. Sousuke also taught James how to play several card games, despite his parents objections and, although indirectly, how to curse like a sailor in several different languages!

|-

|Elizabeth Nakamura - James' Maternal Grandmother. James would often spend time with her on Earth while his Mother and Father where away on business. After Sousuke's death she withdrew into herself somewhat.

|-

|Satel - James' paternal grandfather. Until his Death when James was 13 years old, James would sometimes spend time living with him while his parents where away. James always thought he looked sad, despite his logical exterior, perhaps because his his wife's passing some 30 years before James' birth. James would usually spend his visits playing games of logic, such as chess or when James was older Kal-Toh, or meditating. In fact James can probably trace back much of his Vulcan cultural knowledge to his Grandfather.

|-

|Katelyn Barrett - James' paternal grandmother. She died aproximatlly 30 years before James was born. His father and grandfather didn't talk of her much so James' knowledge of her and that side of his family, is almost non-existent.
