Character: (S'chn T'gai) Spock
Canon: Star Trek (TOS)
Canon Point: Post-Journey to Babel

Crime: Rolling in the sacred sands without taking your Captain out to dinner first. Iykyk.

Background: Spock serves as the First Officer and Chief Science Officer on the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk. He is in the middle of their (first!) five year mission into uncharted space. He's had a fucking time so far. Anyway: Spock refers to himself as Vulcan nine times out of ten, a species that is known for adherence to the philosophies and tenets associated with logic and control as brought forth by Surak, the Vulcan who united them all. However, Spock has never been entirely Vulcan. His mother is a Human, which led to him being ostracized and "othered" since he was young. As a result of this and his competing expectations (Vulcan or Human, emotion or suppression thereof, etc.), he comes across as remote and distant. As he subscribes to the Vulcan way, he is noted to have a much flatter affect than most Humans and often plays at not knowing what Humans assume he should know. He's actually a sensitive, gentle soul underneath everything that is primarily summarized by the word "curiosity." He loves animals, reading, science, and plants. He also has a great affection for music. He will deny he feels affection.

Anyway, if you can get past the logical firewall and the bitchy aspects of his character (he's got a brutal tongue when he's not impressed and often insults people in a way that leaves them realizing it like two business days later), he's got a wickedly dry sense of humor and will knife fight someone in the street for your honor.

Abilities: Spock's got a few! But, TL;DR: he's a touch telepath and is 3x stronger than most Humans. He's also got fun blood and organ placement.

Here's the opt-in/opt-out and summary of each.

Plans:

Uh. Well, he's currently dealing with the following:

◈ Involved in pending results from August's player plot wherein a group is already looking for the port for the AI.
◈ Advocating for isolating the AI (and backing it up on said isolated device) before resetting the whole mess. He does not trust it and does not believe it should have free access to everything under the (potentially artificial) sun. He has been working toward this result for a while alongside his fellow STEM members (and fresh recruits!) and isn't interested in "hearing out" people who just want to let the world burn. He's a stubborn bastard, thinks this is partly his fault, and he'll need tangible evidence that that is a bad idea to back down now. Din, elaborate? HMU COWARDS (no, I love you).
◈ Becoming accustomed to being bonded, which might result in some weirder-than-usual behavior. This is not known by anyone IC minus like. One person who doesn't know the extent to which this occurred or the fact it is permanent. Anyway, if anyone needs a direct line to Jim at any point, he's your man.
◈ Doing some practical training/teaching in Richard's little org in his downtime when he isn't involved in STEM projects. He specializes in hand-to-hand/weaponry, tactical training, survival skills, and tech.
◈ Handling all these new faces, one of which is the Captain he served for eleven years before Jim. He has some complicated feelings about it (given, uh, last time he saw him he left him on a planet that let him live an illusory life dwbi).
◈ He is working on strengthening security for the Dark Web, no thanks to Root. Spock roped everyone else into this mess with the Dark Web by hatching the plan for it, so he clearly needs to look at further improvements.
◈ Working on more apps for the communicators.
◈ One day he'll teach mental shielding techniques... Y'all could use it.


How can you run into my character? What's their daily life like? Do they have a job? Do they have other habits or routines?

◈ He usually meditates in the morning by the ocean, though these days he meditates in the side yard of the cast townhouse more often.
◈ Spends time with his stray cats and takes very scientific notes (dwbi).
◈ Catch him playing his Vulcan lyre now that he has it! He usually tools around with it in the evening outside.
◈ Taking various samples from various flora/fauna.
◈ Checking out an obscene number of books from the library to read.
◈ Spending time in the STEM clubhouse. Come to him if you need stuff fixed.
