Maurik

Maurik is a very in-charge Vulcan personality-- although he is easier to talk to and understand than T'Ren, he still exudes a large amount of the natural authority gifted to Vulcans. His guilty pleasure is flying, especially hovercars.

Early Life
Maurik was born in The Forge on Vulcan into a large family. Although Vulcans today choose only to rear one or two children a marriage, his parents preferred the old-fashioned approach. This said, he has nine siblings of varying ages and genders.

His mother works as a nurse, his father an architect. Since this took him away often, Maurik mostly lived with his mother growing up.

At first his goal was to go into the monkhood at the Gol Mountains, but one day he met a Starfleet Officer stationed on Vulcan, and the encounter set decisions in motion.

As a boy, Maurik enjoyed the company of many Sehlats. His most guilty pleasure (and having any real pleasure at all is guilty since he's Vulcan) is flying EXTREMELY fast in hovercars. This led to his later decision to go into piloting. When he joined Starfleet Academy, he quickly entered the intense flight program, and was a member of the pilot team.

While at home he was bonded with T'Ren, who came from a stricter family than his own, but they found they were a good match for one another. T'Ren was the first to choose Starfleet, and Maurik followed her, finding the career suited his own interests and goals. They served aboard the same ships.

Appearance
Maurik is sturdy and at least a head taller than T'Ren. His skin is a golden-brown-tan color, his eyes are a lighter brown, and his hair a darker brown. The hair is cut in a bowl cut all-around, and shaved to the neck the rest of the way down. He has an oriental-looking Vulcan tattoo on his back, and his eyes are almond and tilted slightly at the corners.

T'Ren
Since they are a completely-Vulcan couple, it is almost impossible to tell that they are involved personally unless you already know, or they have told you. They just aren't that physically affectionate, or blatantly personal. Still, despite outward appearances, they do care for one another-- in their own Vulcan sort of way. They share quarters, but each have a separate room for privacy and meditation. Although they are both strong-willed and intense, Maurik has an easier time relating to and conversing with their crewmates, and will occasionally serve as go-between for T'Ren. Still, they tend to move in a pair around the ship, and slip into relaxed conversation with ease.
