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.

Personal history

Early life and education (2362–2381)

Yogan Yalu was born Yogan Verso in Sarajevo in 2362. His father Aydam was an agriculture scientist and his mother Haned was an administrator in the Trill Diplomatic Corps, working within the diplomatic mission on Earth. He has two younger siblings, Nedal and Kejana, also born on Earth. His 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.

University, early career, and joining (2381–2393)

After completing his secondary education in 2381, Yogan enrolled at the University of Chi’tar, completing premedical studies with a minor in linguistics in 2386. While 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 joining. While waiting for a symbiont, he accepted a one-year fellowship in critical care and emergency medicine, about which he became deeply passionate.

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 complete 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.

Starfleet (2393–present)

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. Yogan Verso is Yalu's eighth host. The joining of Yalu to Yogan Verso in 2392 created a new, unique individual–Yogan Yalu–who also carried the memories of Yalu's seven previous hosts, which include a subspace radio operator, a talented but troubled actress, a Starfleet officer killed in action, and a member of the Trill Senate.

2397

Foxtrot Protocol (239706.07 – 239707.12)

The newly commissioned Ensign Yalu joined the crew of the USS Atlantis mid-mission, during a Freeworlds trade conference on Illara Prime. Initially, he remained aboard the ship, working shifts in Sickbay, while several teams were sent to the planet to attend the conference. Eventually, 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 investigation.
