Kudon: Difference between revisions

Kudon was raised on planet Vulcan and since a young boy easily grasped starship technology, entering many StarFleet science competitions throughout his youth. At age 18 he entered StarFleet with the goal of becoming an Engineering or Science Officer. In addition to specializing in warp core technology at StarFleet, Kudon developed a strong interest in social science courses as well, especially interstellar diplomatic relations. His thesis at the Academy focused on an innovate way to make the interaction between a starship's warp core and fusion generator more efficient. He also contributed on the enhancement of encryption techniques to protect warp cores from malicious cyberattacks.   

While a StarFleet cadet, Kudon made the decision that he would live with greater emotion than traditional Vulcans, leading to significant conflict with his parents.  This decision was informed by a variety of experiences from his youth, but a key factor was an incident his younger sister, Sareen, was severely beaten by other children claiming to be motivated by Logic Extremists.  Especially given the intensity of Vulcan emotions, Kudon can often struggle with emotion regulation, though he has developed sufficient skill through Vulcan meditation techniques to usually avoid being overwhelmed. He tends to let the logical side of him guide his outward interactions with people, but has a vibrant inner world that he considers a world in itself to explore.
