S'chn T'gai Spock

S'chn T'gai Spock was the son of Vulcan Ambassdor Sarek of the House of Surak and the Human, Terra-born Amanda Greyson. He spent his life exceptional in ways he could not choose, and then becoming so in ways he could. He was the first Vulcan to become a Starfleet officer, and became the first officer of the exploration ship USS Enterprise. There, he met lifelong friends such as Nyota Uhura, and his t'hy'la, James T. Kirk.

Spock lived by the principle of IDIC, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

He fostered a child, Saavik, whom nobody else would agree to take in. He never punished her and was never angry with her, loving and accepting her for who she was. She became a Starfleet officer, and remembered him as kind and respectful, treating everyone with dignity. Like Spock, she had one Vulcan parent and one non-Vulcan parent. Her non-Vulcan parent was Romulan.

Spock dedicated the latter part of his life to restoring peace between Vulcans and Romulans, despite the ancient and bloody history between the two groups and their separation. His legacy includes the restablishment of ties between the two species who were once one, and who are now once more brothers.

Spock was the first Human-Vulcan hybrid to survive to adulthood. As well as his irregular neurotype among both Vulcans and Humans, he had a learning disbility. The Vuhlkansu term for this disability is "L'tak Terai". In English, it is "dyslexia."

As well as his relationship with Kirk, Spock also counted Leonard "Bones" McCoy as a close friend, and enjoyed playing music with Nyota Uhura.
