T'Mar: Difference between revisions

==History and Background==

===The Early Years===

T'Mar is the daughter of a full-blood Vulcan male and a half-Vulcan half-Betazoid female. Growing up in Vulcan, she struggled with her empathy and keeping her own emotions in check. As a young child she was sent to intensive training to control her ability to sense others emotions, although she still struggles keeping her emotions in check all the time. Although her parents wanted her to join the Vulcan Science Academy, T'Mar decided to join StarFleet and have a better opportunity to meet other species, despite her struggles with her empathic abilities. At the Academy she majored in Security and minored in Ops, where she first met [[Cross, Debra|Debra Cross]]. Cross was one of her instructors at the academy and later became a security officer under T'Mar on the Apollo, before being switched over to tactical.

===Relationships===

T'Mar is bonded with Salek, a male Vulcan scientist who is currently studying dark matter aboard a Vulcan vessel in deep space. In an effort to control her emotions more effectively, T'Mar has been having training sessions with a Betazoid security officer, Lt. JG Zage Bolani. Bolani has been training T'Mar on how to use her empathic abilities. The logic is that if she can understand how to use her abilities, she can effectively suppress the emotions she senses from others. During this time, the pair have grown close. After surviving the terrorist attacks on the planet of Izar, the two have begun dating. T'Mar has not yet revealed to him that she is bonded, however, nor has she decided if she will continue to express some emotions or go back to suppressing them.

Although she has been on the Apollo for nearly a year, it has only been recently that T'Mar has taken the time to try to better know her crewmates. She had at one time considered [[Lanius, Viktor|Viktor Lanius]] a friend, although after the mission on Quatal Minor the two had a falling out over her decision to chase the enemy and not turn back. They have since "made up" but their relationship has not been the same since. Recently, T'Mar has made an effort to better know others of the senior staff, most surprisingly [[Sundassa]] who also had been upset by T'Mar's decision on Quatal Minor. The two worked closely on Izar to take down the terrorists and Sundassa has earned T'Mar's respect.
