Personality & Traits

General Overview		Speak softly but carry a big stick. That is a philosophy that applies to Sornex; however, many would be surprised to know that, in his mind, carrying a big stick simply means being an educated and more devoted leader when called for. Despite his upbringing, he sees the realm of knowledge as the ultimate weapon. What would surprise many, however, is that despite this philosophy, Kabon is just as comfortable wielding a phaser in the trenches as he is studying a new culture or programming new scientific databases for a recently discovered star system. Forthright, opinionated, pragmatic, and focused, Sornex is driven by a need for efficiency in pursuit of proficiency and is quietly intolerant of people who seek to waste his time.
Strengths & Weaknesses		+ Strong work ethic, efficient and methodical whilst maintaining a distinct flair for innovation + Focused, pragmatic and determined, extremely reliable under pressure + Strong moral compass - Finds it very hard to compromise - Prone to intolerance and frustration with those who under-perform
Ambitions		Sornax wishes to one day command a vessel of his own and explore the cosmos deep where the Federation has yet to go, or perhaps teach at the Academy on an academic level. In the meantime, he has also started considering whether or not he will one day want to start a family.
Hobbies & Interests		Hydroponics and general gardening. Sornax is in the process of trying to start a garden in the arboretum. An avid student of all the sciences. Sornax is eager to read any scientific journal or periodical he can get his hands on. He has also published a few research papers surrounding stellar nursery formations and the possible sentience of cosmozoan life. Sornax is also a skilled marksman and enjoys visiting the practice range, keeping his skills with a phaser sharp despite the fact he is normally seen wielding a tricorder on away missions.

Personal History		Born on a starbase in the winter of 2231, Sornax is the son of Tofox and his first wife, Khrexa. Tofox was the Chief of Engineering for the station while his mother was a civilian scientist who worked in the large research arboretum. With both of them always busy, they tried to instill a sense of independence in their son. Little did they understand how much it would serve him. When Sornax was just twelve years old the station came under attack during a raid from the Klingons and unfortunately his father was killed during the battle. Despite the bold independence Sornax had, the death of his Father was not something the young Denobulan took well. Soon he was getting into trouble and having issues focusing on his schooling. His Mother knew a fellow scientist aboard the station, an Andorian astrobiologist. The Andorian, Lieutenant Lorishtalla zh'Razhi, introduced Sornax to astrobiology and vershaan, an Andorian martial art to help control his anger. Over the years Sornax studied vershaan when Lorishtalla offered her classes and was tutored by her as well, developing a strong interest in the sciences and finding his way once more. By fifteen he made his mother aware he wanted to join Starfleet academy after graduation to which she agreed with a sense of pride only a mother could have. When he was eighteen Sornax graduated from his secondary school studies and submitted his application to Starfleet Academy. He was accepted after passing his tests, and in the year 2248, the aspiring scientist was sent to San Francisco, Earth. Once Sornax reached Starfleet Academy life seemed wide-eyed to him. It was on Earth that he found a second love, stellar cartography. Throughout his academy career, the budding Denobulan focused hard on his studies and was awarded a rare chance to serve his third year of Academy training onboard a space station that orbited the planet. Onboard Starbase One, Sornax served as a lab assistant in stellar cartography. He finished his abroad training with high recommendations and in the year 2252, graduated in the top fifteen percent of his class.
