== Personality ==
Yogan Yalu's personality is a complex amalgam of personalities–that of his former unjoined self, Yogan Verso; that of Yalu, the symbiont to which he is joined; and those of the symbiont's previous hosts.  Like all joined Trill, Yogan underwent years of training to ensure that, once joined, the symbiont would complement, not overwhelm his own personality.

Yogan is an innate idealist, and possesses a nearly inexhaustible optimism.  His belief that all people are inherently good occasionally causes conflict in his professional life; he struggles to understand why good people suffer.  He dislikes the constraint of arbitrary rules, and tends to support creative thinking and the rights of others to do as they please.  He tends to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.  Yogan struggles to accept challenges and criticisms as opportunities to better himself; rather, he can take them personally and become mired in self-doubt.  Yogan wants to be liked, and avoids conflict if he can, preferring to adjust himself rather than risk confrontation with another person.

Since joining, Yogan's symbiont and former hosts have influenced his personality, creating a more extraverted, pragmatic, and social individual, but also one prone to impulsive decisions, cynicism, and a flair for the dramatic.  He is proud to have been selected for joining, and he thinks often about how his memories and experiences will influence Yalu's future hosts.  He also wonders whether he measures up to his predecessors.  That Yogan is a joined Trill is not a secret, but he prefers to discuss it only with those he trusts.

Yogan Yalu was born Yogan Verso in Sarajevo in 2362His father Aydam was an agriculture scientist and his mother Haned was an administrator in the Trill Diplomatic Corps, working within the diplomatic mission on EarthHe has two younger siblings, Nedal and Kejana, also born on EarthHis childhood was mostly happy and without major incident, but being the only Trill child in a community of mostly humans gave him a sense of self-exceptionalism that would take years to grow out of.

After the Antwerp Conference bombing and the attempted coup d’état on Earth in 2372, Haned and Aydam brought their young family back to the relative tranquility of the Trill homeworld.  They resettled in a provincial town on the foothills of Bes Manev, and 10-year-old Yogan found it difficult to adjust from the excitement of living in a major urban center on an alien planet.  It was, however, his first real opportunity to learn about the customs and history of his own people, particularly the practice of joining, which was not discussed openly during the family’s years on Earth.  From his teenage years, Yogan took courses in starship navigation, and obtained a Starfleet Level 3-equivalent pilot's certification while in secondary school.

=== University, early career, and joining (2381–2393) ===
=== Betazoid psychodramas ===
After completing his secondary education in 2381, Yogan enrolled at the University of Chi’tar, completing premedical studies with a minor in astronavigation in 2386While he intended to continue on to medical school, his plans were put on hold when he was accepted into the Initiate Program, and became a candidate for joining. After a difficult four years as an initiate, the Symbiosis Commission approved Yogan for joiningWhile waiting for a symbiont, he accepted a one-year fellowship in critical care and emergency medicine, about which he became deeply passionate.
Yogan Yalu is an enthusiastic fan of a particular genre of Betazoid literature, the psychodrama.  He reads them voraciously and is always looking for a new oneHe also regularly updates his ''FedReads'' profile with the books he is currently reading, has recently completed, or wishes to read:

Finally, in 2392, Yogan was joined with a 362-year-old symbiont called Yalu.  He spent much of that year adjusting to life as a joined Trill, but in early 2393, he applied to Starfleet Medical Academy to continue his studies.  Moving back to Earth after 20 years wasn’t exactly the homecoming he might have hoped for, but he excelled in medical school and graduated in 2397.  During his time at Starfleet Academy, he also completed the credits equivalent to an undergraduate minor in navigation, and obtained a Level 5 pilot's certification.

== Personal history ==
'''Yalu''' is a symbiont–a sentient vermiform lifeform–who has lived symbiotically inside hosts of the humanoid Trill species.  Yalu was born in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld in 2030, and was joined to a host for the first time in 2140.  Yogan Verso is Yalu's eighth host.  The joining of Yalu to Yogan Verso in 2392 created a new, unique individual–Yogan Yalu.  Yogan Yalu carries the memories of Yalu's seven previous hosts, who include a subspace radio operator, a farmer and artisan weaver, a famous actress, and a member of the Trill Senate.

Yalu's Starfleet career began on Stardate 239307.01, when he entered Starfleet Medical Academy in San Francisco at the rank of Cadet 4th class.  During his first year, he excelled in medical ethics, clinical fundamentals, and immunology, but struggled with genetics.  Outside of his medical studies, he continued his flight training, earning high marks in starship navigation.
 
On Stardate 239407.01, Yalu began his second year of medical studies at the rank of Cadet 3rd class.  During this year, he succeeded in the subjects of medical and life support systems and diagnosis, but had his biggest professional failures as well, earning a D+ in non-humanoid surgery, the lowest mark of his Academy career.  He concluded his flight training during this year, receiving the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in navigation.
 
Yalu's final two years at Starfleet Academy were largely successful, although he continued to struggle in surgical classes.  He graduated from the Academy on Stardate 239706.07, with a Level 5 pilot's qualification, an M.D., and a commission at the rank of Ensign.

==== ''[[Foxtrot Protocol (Atlantis)|Foxtrot Protocol]]'' (239706.07 – 239707.12) ====
Yalu graduated from Starfleet Academy in June and was posted to the {{USS|Atlantis}} as a medical officerFive weeks later, he was transferred to the {{USS|Resolution}}–which was re-entering active service–as a helm officerIn July, ''Resolution'' encountered the derelict {{USS|Unity}}, whose computer systems had been commandeered by a space-dwelling lifeform.  In September, ''Resolution'' visited [[Da'al]], a non-aligned planet in the Borderlands, where the crew was instrumental in preventing a coup d'étatIn December, ''Resolution'' was searching for a missing freighter in the [[Celendi Nebula]] when they were transported more than 200,000 years into the future.
The newly commissioned Ensign Yalu joined the crew of the USS ''Atlantis'' mid-mission, during a Freeworlds trade conference on Illara PrimeInitially, he remained aboard the ship, working shifts in Sickbay, while several teams were sent to the planet to attend the conferenceEventually, Captain [[Jarred Thoran]] requested that Yalu join a team consisting of Ensign [[Ilana Ganarvuss]], Ensign [[Lephi]], and Marine Captain [[Kurt Logan]], who were investigating the disappearance of the conference's Director of Security.  Dr. Yalu hypothesized that the Director had been incapacitated and removed from the premises, and along with the other members of the team, theorized that the Naylari DNA present in the office may have been planted to interfere with the investigationAfter a number of inexplicable utility failures, Yalu was paired with Illaran forensic pathologist Eisla Nidhar and tasked with acquiring the spaceport's records, in the hope that they might shed some light on the director's disappearance.  While visiting the records office, Dr. Nidhar was attacked by an unknown assailant.  Yalu treated Nidhar's injuries and secured her evacuation to a medical facility, then turned over the records to Lt. Cmdr. [[Serala]] before being recalled back to ''Atlantis''.  Despite the best efforts of the ''Atlantis'' crew, the trade conference was canceled after a number of violent attacks and acts of sabotage were carried out by a Valcarian spy.


==== Shore leave and transfer (239707.13 – 239707.20) ====
In 2397, Yalu was awarded four service ribbonsHe was also promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant JG on Stardate 239712.08.
Following the cancellation of the trade conference, ''Atlantis'' remained in orbit around [[Illara Prime]] for several days of shore leave.  During this time, Yogan beamed down to the planet to visit Dr. Eisla Nidhar, who was recovering in hospital following her attack, before spending a half-day as a tourist on Illara Prime.  Back on ''Atlantis'', Yogan conducted the onboarding medical exams of several new crewmembers, among them Ensigns [[Ilana Ganarvuss]] and [[Lephi]]Barely one week into shore leave, Yogan received orders to report to Starbase 118 at once, as he was being transferred to a newly-recommissioned ship, the [[USS Resolution|USS ''Resolution'']]. After a few days to pack and tie up loose ends on ''Atlantis'', he caught a shuttle from Illara Prime to [[Cestus III]], where he boarded the USS ''Majestic'' bound for [[Starbase 118]].


==== [[Unity_(Resolution)|''Unity'']] (239707.21 – 239709.13) ====
=== 2398 ===
Yalu arrived at Starbase 118 on stardate 239707.21 and shortly thereafter reported for duty aboard the [[Nova class|''Nova''-class]] [[USS Resolution|USS ''Resolution'']].  Transferring from the medical division to the command division in the process, Yalu was assigned the duty post of helm officer as a result of his piloting and astronavigation qualifications.  ''Resolution'' departed Starbase 118 for [[The Borderlands]], a relatively uncharted region straddling Federation and Klingon space.  En route, the crew of ''Resolution'' discovered a derelict Federation starship, the [[USS Unity|USS ''Unity'']], which had been reported lost with all hands in 2347Yalu, Commander [[Morgan,_Adriana|Adriana Morgan]], and Ensign [[Aeson Del]] transported to ''Unity'''s officers' lounge to investigate a series of visual phenomena that Ensign Del had reported seeingWhile there, an alien entity inhabiting ''Unity'' sent a single-word message to the away team:  exterminate.
The year 2398 began with the {{USS|Resolution}} still in the far future, attempting to rescue the crew of the freighter ''Andalucia'' from enslavement at the hands of the [[Sau]].  They succeeded in rescuing a large number of them, but Yalu was haunted by the fact that some were left behindUpon their return to the present, Yalu began preparing to undertake ''zhian'tara'', the Trill Rite of Closure, and invited several of his crewmates to participate in the ritual with himIn February, ''Resolution'' attempted to negotiate a peace agreement between the Nascaik and the Thama, who both claimed Vionus IV as part of their sovereign territoryAfter a terrorist attack nearly destroyed the ship, the crew successfully concluded the peace treaty between the surviving diplomatic representatives.


Recalled to ''Resolution'', Yalu maneuvered the ship out of harm's way during a brief firefight with ''Unity'', but doing so left several officers–Morgan, Lieutenant Commander [[Addison MacKenzie]], Lieutenants junior grade [[Jamie MacNemar]] and [[Kudon]], and Ensign [[T'Suran]]–trapped on the derelict ship.  Ensign Del hypothesized that the entity had interfaced with ''Unity'''s computer, and Yalu worked with Del and the bridge crew to establish communications with the alien and bring the away team safely home.  The crew discovered that the entity living within ''Unity'' was a silicon-based lifeform whose natural habitat was similar to that of the nearby [[Celendi Nebula]]Yalu and Lt. Commander [[Raimy Ambarsan]] collaborated to disable ''Unity'' without alerting the entity, so that it could be safely towed.  Meanwhile, a team of officers succeeded in gaining the entity's trust, ensuring that ''Unity'' could be safely moved, first to the nebula, and from thence to Starbase 118.
In April, Yalu returned to Trill with four of his crewmates, and [[Yogan_Yalu/Zhian%27tara|completed his ''zhian'tara'']].  The following month, when ''Resolution'' was sent into the [[Briar Patch]] to search for a missing Starfleet science ship, they crash landed on a planet inhabited by an advanced form of non-corporeal life, whose manipulation of energy caused a disruption in the relationship between Yogan (host) and Yalu (symbiont)The illness persisted for several months thereafter. In July, Yalu, along with the rest of ''Resolution'''s crew, was trapped in a time loop at the hands of a Q.


==== Shore leave (239709.14 – 239709.28) ====
In September and October, while the {{USS|Resolution}} was temporarily under the command of [[Genkos Adea]], Yalu served as acting first officer.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-resolution/c/xqSOs9o9IEY/m/XYyXJ1T5BAAJ SIM: JP LtCmdr Genkos Adea & LtCmdr Yogan Yalu — Now you've done it]</ref>


==== [[Come What May (Resolution)]] (239709.28 – 239711.16) ====
In 2398, Yalu was awarded 7 service ribbons. He was also promoted from Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant on Stardate 239805.04, and from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander on Stardate 239809.15.

Personality

Yogan Yalu's personality is a complex amalgam of personalities–that of his former unjoined self, Yogan Verso; that of Yalu, the symbiont to which he is Joined; and those of the symbiont's previous hosts. Like all Joined Trill, Yogan underwent years of training to ensure that, once Joined, the symbiont would complement, not overwhelm his own personality.

Yogan is an innate idealist, and possesses a nearly inexhaustible optimism. His belief that all people are inherently good occasionally causes conflict in his professional life; he struggles to understand why good people suffer. He dislikes the constraint of arbitrary rules, and tends to support creative thinking and the rights of others to do as they please. He tends to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. Yogan struggles to accept challenges and criticisms as opportunities to better himself; rather, he can take them personally and become mired in self-doubt. Yogan wants to be liked, and avoids conflict if he can, preferring to adjust himself rather than risk confrontation with another person.

Since joining, Yogan's symbiont and former hosts have influenced his personality, creating a more extraverted, pragmatic, and social individual, but also one prone to impulsive decisions, cynicism, and a flair for the dramatic. He is proud to have been selected for joining, and he thinks often about how his memories and experiences will influence Yalu's future hosts. He also wonders whether he measures up to his predecessors.

Psychological profile

  • Temperament: Positive, balanced; not prone to wild mood swings or extreme emotions
  • Quarters: Room 04-0302, not super personalized
  • Favorite place:
  • Habits: Bites his lip when deep in thought; prefers to refer to fellow officers by rank instead of name or honorific; Mishears things often
  • Religion or spiritual affiliation: None
  • Hobbies and pastimes: Betazoid literature (particularly the psychodramas), Folk wrestling[1]
  • Preferred foods: Cheeseburgers
  • Preferred drinks: Yogan Yalu seldom drinks alcohol. Enjoys raktajino, glurch, and kobheerian cola
  • Fears: Looking stupid in front of people.
  • Ambitions and goals:
  • Achievements: Skilled pilot, Doctor of Medicine, lovable goof
  • Disappointments:

Betazoid psychodramas

Yogan Yalu is an enthusiastic fan of a particular genre of Betazoid literature, the psychodrama. He reads them voraciously and is always looking for a new one. He also regularly updates his FedReads profile with the books he is currently reading, has recently completed, or wishes to read:

  • Embers Within Ashes by Levralet Izun (2395): The winner of the 2396 Rixx Prize for Fiction contains sharp prose and a carefully crafted plot. Kept me guessing right up until the end. ♦♦♦♦♦ [Completed 239709][9]
  • Thoughtless Winter by Levralet Izun (2396): The sequel to Embers is boring, boring, boring. I had to drink four raktajinos just to get through chapter three. ♦ [Completed 239710][10]

Personal history

See Biography of Yogan Yalu

Yalu

See Yalu (symbiont)

Yalu is a symbiont–a sentient vermiform lifeform–who has lived symbiotically inside hosts of the humanoid Trill species. Yalu was born in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld in 2030, and was Joined to a host for the first time in 2140. The joining of Yalu to Yogan Verso in 2392 created a new, unique individual–Yogan Yalu. Yalu's eighth humanoid host, Yogan, carries the memories of Yalu's seven previous hosts, who include a subspace radio operator, a farmer and artisan weaver, a famous actress, and a member of the Trill Senate.

Professional history

See Starfleet Academy transcript of Yogan Yalu
See Professional history of Yogan Yalu, 2397, 2398, 2399, and 2400

2393–2397

Yalu's Starfleet career began on Stardate 239307.01, when he entered Starfleet Medical Academy in San Francisco at the rank of Cadet 4th class. During his first year, he excelled in medical ethics, clinical fundamentals, and immunology, but struggled with genetics. Outside of his medical studies, he continued his flight training, earning high marks in starship navigation.

On Stardate 239407.01, Yalu began his second year of medical studies at the rank of Cadet 3rd class. During this year, he succeeded in the subjects of medical and life support systems and diagnosis, but had his biggest professional failures as well, earning a D+ in non-humanoid surgery, the lowest mark of his Academy career. He concluded his flight training during this year, receiving the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in navigation.

Yalu's final two years at Starfleet Academy were largely successful, although he continued to struggle in surgical classes. He graduated from the Academy on Stardate 239706.07, with a Level 5 pilot's qualification, an M.D., and a commission at the rank of Ensign.

2397

Yalu graduated from Starfleet Academy in June and was posted to the USS Atlantis as a medical officer. Five weeks later, he was transferred to the USS Resolution–which was re-entering active service–as a helm officer. In July, Resolution encountered the derelict USS Unity, whose computer systems had been commandeered by a space-dwelling lifeform. In September, Resolution visited Da'al, a non-aligned planet in the Borderlands, where the crew was instrumental in preventing a coup d'état. In December, Resolution was searching for a missing freighter in the Celendi Nebula when they were transported more than 200,000 years into the future.

In 2397, Yalu was awarded four service ribbons. He was also promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant JG on Stardate 239712.08.

2398

The year 2398 began with the USS Resolution still in the far future, attempting to rescue the crew of the freighter Andalucia from enslavement at the hands of the Sau. They succeeded in rescuing a large number of them, but Yalu was haunted by the fact that some were left behind. Upon their return to the present, Yalu began preparing to undertake zhian'tara, the Trill Rite of Closure, and invited several of his crewmates to participate in the ritual with him. In February, Resolution attempted to negotiate a peace agreement between the Nascaik and the Thama, who both claimed Vionus IV as part of their sovereign territory. After a terrorist attack nearly destroyed the ship, the crew successfully concluded the peace treaty between the surviving diplomatic representatives.

In April, Yalu returned to Trill with four of his crewmates, and completed his zhian'tara. The following month, when Resolution was sent into the Briar Patch to search for a missing Starfleet science ship, they crash landed on a planet inhabited by an advanced form of non-corporeal life, whose manipulation of energy caused a disruption in the relationship between Yogan (host) and Yalu (symbiont). The illness persisted for several months thereafter. In July, Yalu, along with the rest of Resolution's crew, was trapped in a time loop at the hands of a Q.

In September and October, while the USS Resolution was temporarily under the command of Genkos Adea, Yalu served as acting first officer.[17]

In 2398, Yalu was awarded 7 service ribbons. He was also promoted from Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant on Stardate 239805.04, and from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander on Stardate 239809.15.

2399

2400

On SD 240007.10, Yalu was promoted to first officer of the USS Artemis-A.

  7. SIM: LtCmdr Yogan Yalu — Old friend, new friend: They ate in silence for a few moments, and the fires of Yogan’s appetite reignited in earnest with the first bite of the best burger he’d had in some time. It was an explosion of taste, a symphony of seasonings and spices, a Picasso of trans-galactic cheeses, and it immediately turned his mood around. Other people’s heads might be turned by a witty joke in a crowded bar, or a handsome face smiling from across a room. Yogan, however, knew with certainty that if and when his “KaliKos” ever came along, he’d be holding a cheeseburger.

It fit him well, which for a person of his stature was always a concern, and he felt good about himself in it. Perhaps most importantly of all, he was proud of it, having worked hard to earn the right to wear it. He was certain the momentary embarrassment of his faux pas would dissipate quickly. Hopefully he wouldn’t be sent back to his quarters to change before being allowed to join the party.
