== Personality Traits == | |||
Satoc is contemplative and reflective to the point of | |||
near reclusiveness. He is very philosophical and | |||
introspective, which can come off as arrogance and | |||
indifference. Satoc is deeply committed to logic and | |||
the resolution of a fundamental logical paradox that | |||
has plagued him since young adulthood. It is hard for | |||
people to break through Satoc’s outer shell. Most of | |||
his acquaintances are just that – acquaintances. Many | |||
people are put off by what often appears to be a wall | |||
of cold logic. Those that have the patience and | |||
determination to break through Satoc’s outer shell, | |||
however, find a very deeply committed friend, who | |||
despite the Vulcan loathe for emotion, find that he is | |||
very dedicated to those few he has grown attached to. | |||
== Background == | |||
Like all Vulcan children, Satoc was trained to control | |||
his emotions through logic and meditation from a very | |||
early age. Upon completing primary schooling, Satoc | |||
entered the Vulcan Science Academy where he developed | |||
an intense interest in non-Vulcan cultures. He | |||
graduated on stardate 238007.17 with a doctoral degree | |||
in Cultural Anthropology after conducting extensive | |||
fieldwork among the Galipotan people. Soon after | |||
graduation he accepted a position teaching Cultural | |||
Anthropology at the Argelian College of Science. | |||
Satoc’s studies instilled in him a concept of respect | |||
for other cultures and appreciation for cultural | |||
differences. The significance of this perspective | |||
created a logical problem for Satoc. If all cultures | |||
should be valued and all cultural differences | |||
appreciated in all forms, are there no universal | |||
principles? And if there are in fact universal | |||
principles, then can all forms of diversity truly be | |||
valued, even the ones that do not value what one holds | |||
to be universal principles? In an attempt to resolve | |||
this personal paradox, Satoc underwent the Kolinahr | |||
ritual around stardate 238204 to fully master his | |||
emotions and find clarity in pure logic. | |||
Finding that the pure logic of Kolinar provided no | |||
real answers to his dilemma, Satoc concluded that he | |||
would join Starfleet in an attempt to experience a | |||
wide array of cultures and viewpoints. He gave up his | |||
professorship and applied to Starfleet Academy where | |||
he was accepted into the Science Program. He augmented | |||
his background in Anthropology with a study of general | |||
physical science and starship operations. Through | |||
broad exposure to different cultural backgrounds that | |||
a career in Star Fleet will afford, Satoc hopes to | |||
resolve his personal questions and find peace in a | |||
logical solution. | |||
