Personal history

Sorra's mother Devama Sorrima fled from the Romulan Empire during their isolation period and took refuge on Vulcan. She soon met and had the most illogical response of falling in love with T'Kurrararn Tefin. He was unbetrothed and found her to be good companion. They were eventually married and had a son.
 
Raised on Vulcan, Sorra learned to surpress his emotions from a young age, leaving room for only logic in his mind and decisions. There was a lot of tensions between him and the other Vulcan's as he beared a faint resemblance to his Romulan mother. As such Sorra grew up as an outsider on Vulcan. Sorra's father was a Starfleet Engineer and often was gone for long periods of time.
 
As a result, Sorra spent much time with his mother, who unlike the Vulcan's displayed her emotions and made decisions based on them. As such Sorra developed the ability to understand the patterns of people who lived a life based on emotions. His mother explained that when interacting with emotional beings it is illogical to expect them to be logical, as such it is more logical to let them experience their emotions and act in accordance. He learned to indetify and predict the emotions and reactions of his mother and began to mimic the social interactions that soothed and delighted her. Sorra's willingness to work alongside and even with the emotions of others made him a further outsider on Vulcan.
 
After the death of his mother, Sorra had the goal of joining the Vulcan Expeditionary Group. However, tensions were still high between Romulans and the Federation. Additionally, Sorra's understanding of emotions made him childish to the Vulcan's. He was turned down from the Expeditionary Group and sent to Starfleet instead.
 
His first assignment was to the USS Electra, the same ship where his father is the chief engineer. Illogically, many people expect them to be similar, it appears to shock many people that Sorra is not in engineering like his father. Motivated to preform well at his job, Ensign Tefin focuses both on his duties and on learning the new emotional patterns and customs of his coworkers on the USS Electra.

Failures & Embarrassments

Lost control of his emotions for a moment and punched a wall in front of Ensign Tatiana Fox

Mental Trauma

Trauma is emotional and has no place in a Vulcan. That being said, Sorra misses his mom and dad.


When Sorra was sixteen him and his mom contracted a very rare sickness, known as Rigellian fever, while on a trip for his mom's work. The sickness is easily cured with ryetalyn; however due to the rareness of the disease the ryetalyn had to be brought by us Federation Star Vessel. Sorra and his mother were heavily quarantined as the virus is highly infectious. This was not unusual to Sorra as they often quarantined after trips to aviod spreading any unknown diseases that they may have contracted. What was different about this time was how sick both him and his mom got. Sorra was bed ridden and his mother should have been, except she was taking care of Sorra. Rigelian fever kills fast, and by the time the ryetalyn was brought Sorra's mother had died.


Sorra's father was killed on Damitar IV by nuclear warfare while at a party. At the time Sorra was on the bridge of the ship, and watched as the mushroom cloud indicated the death of his father along with the rest of the bridge crew and ranking officers. Sorra then had to make the call that they were dead and advice the acting captain to leave the planetary system.

As such he attempts to learn people's emotional patterns to make each person more predicatble to him and thus allow him to keep them in a state of happiness so his work is less likely to be disrupted.
 
Additionally, Sorra has recently learned that having people you talk to often and share many meals with, called "friends", is how many people are premoted in Starfleet. Thus Sorra is setting out on a new goal to make friends.
