| Personal History | While little is known of T'Les' history before she was found, Her Guardians calculated that she was born sometime in 2356. Found as an orphan aboard a derelict vessel found on the edge of Romulan/Federation Neutral Zone by the USS T'Kumbra, T'Les was returned to Vulcan diagnosed with a rare form of Vulcan Amnesia at the age of 9. While the fact of her "Mixed" Heritage was kept from her, T'Les suspected at a young age that she was somehow different then most Vulcans while struggling to keep up with her Vulcan teachings. Vulcan children would antagonize her concerning her abrupt emotional outbursts, and many Vulcan Parents would segregate her from other Vulcan Children at times because of this. Soon after, T'Les was brought to a elder in the mountains by her Guardians and was secluded from the rest of Vulcan society for 4 years as she underwent Strict Mental and Emotional instruction in seclusion. After Emerging With complete Metal and Emotional Control of herself, T'Les was sent to the vulcan Academy after her studies with the elders in Seclusion and immediately after, Under the suggestion of her Mentor, Traveled to Earth to study and observe the day to day lives of Humans who do not have the emotional discipline Vulcans have. During her stay on earth, T'Les was deeply taken in by the ideals and opportunities Starfleet had to offer and despite the disapproval of her Guardians, Attempted to Join Starfleet. Her attempts fell short when she was denied acceptance into Starfleet Academy when it was finally discovered in her Pre-Admittance Physical, that T'les was half Romulan. Despite her discovery of her hidden heritage, and her denial into Starfleet Academy, T'Les requested a hearing held by Starfleet Command to object to her not being admitted into Starfleet Academy. While she pressed her case to the board, It at first looked to be a loosing battle but It wasn't until a recess was held that the board returned and accepted her Application to Starfleet despite her being half romulan. Her time at Starfleet Academy however was bitter-sweet. It was now known to all that T'Les was Half Romulan and many of her peers despised her, Accusing her of being a spy and and an enemy of the Federation. This was an attitude that would not last, however. Her first Three years of the Academy were torture for her and just as she was considering dropping out of the academy, A freshmen by the name of Adam Smiter walked into her life. Adam had a moral basis different from those around him and tended to be a hopeless dreamer. Despite how T'Les treated him, Adam always came back for more and seemed to have an endless amount of patience with her. She would become angered by her peers and at one point, took it out on Adam. Adam didn't miss a beat and defended himself with much skill despite her strength and experience. From then on, T'Les respected Adam and in turn, Learned much from him. They spent much of there time together running together as Adam told her that much of her Anger and aggravation could be taken out in more constructive forms. As their friendship grew, intimate feelings began to surface for Adam in T'Les that she did not understand. Despite her strange feelings, Adam never took advantage of her weakness and helped build her into the person she is today. After she had graduated from the Academy at the young age of 22, her assignment took her elsewhere and despite letters written between them from time to time. Those letters soon stopped after Adam graduated and was shipped off world and the two lost touch shortly thereafter. 4 years after the end of the Dominion War, Starfleet was still short on Starship captains and promotions has left many junior officers pressed into Department Head positions. This gave an opportunity for T'Les to fill an Assistant Chief Engineer position aboard the USS Nautilus (NCC-31910). During her assignment, she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade after two years of Service and served another year aboard before being transferred to the USS Hood (NCC-42296) As Chief Engineer in 2382. for the next four years, T'Les served As Chief Engineer, learning all she could during her service aboard but also took up as many command opportunities as she could. After being Promoted to Lieutenant and already serving as the "Night Watch" Commander, T'les returned to earth and soon after was offered the position of Executive Officer as Recommended by her Captain to Starfleet Command. |
