About Me
My mother Amanda Grayson, she was a human schoolteacher from Earth and my father, Sarek, was a respected diplomat. For most of his life, I was torn between my emotional human side and the stern discipline of his Vulcan half until my experience with the V'Ger machine-entity in 2271 and his later death and rebirth in 2286 broadened his perspective. As of 2267 I had earned the Vulcanian Scientific Legion of Honor, I have been twice decorated by Starfleet Command and held an A7 computer expert classification.As a child, I had a pet sehlat, which is a cuddly Vulcan bear-like animal with claws and fangs, named Ay-Chia. The sehlat however was killed in the Vulcan Forge, having been euthanised by Spock after the creature was poisoned His older half-brother, Sybok, who was ostracized from Vulcan because he rejected the way of pure logic, was killed in 2292 after battling an alien entity at the galaxy's center that claimed to be 'God.' At age seven, Spock was telepathically bonded with a young Vulcan girl named T'Pring. The telepathic touch would draw the two together when the time was right after both came of age: once every 7 years all Vulcan males experiences pon farr, a powerful Vulcan mating drive which demands that they mate or die. In 2267, however, T'Pring chose Stonn, a Vulcan, over Spock, and the Vulcan returned to the U.S.S. Enterprise unwed. He did eventually marry in a ceremony attended by Lieutenant Jean-Luc Picard. Because the young Vulcan chose to join Starfleet, he and Sarek opened an 18-year rift over Sarek's hope his son would attend the Vulcan Science Academy. Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in the Federation Starfleet, serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike as a lieutenant, and later for James T. Kirk. After the conclusion of the U.S.S. Enterprise's five-year mission, Spock retired from Starfleet and returned to Vulcan to pursue the emotion-purging of the kohlinar discipline from the Vulcan Masters.
