| Personal History | Tex Anderson was born on July 18th in Galveston, TX. He was abandoned as a child on Earth and was raised by human parents. The humans were unable to have children and saw Tex as their dream come true. His human father was the captain of a ship and his mother was a scientist on Earth. They postponed serving to take care of Tex on Earth. His early childhood was exactly like a human’s childhood. His parents knew to keep him away from sugar as it is very intoxicating to Vulcans. He went to a human school and copied many habits from the other children. He grew up with many friends into his teens. They raised him the best they could and he was not taught the art of emotional suppression until he was in his teens. He joined the baseball team and became quite good at being a batter. He aspired to join the major leagues but decided against it due to not being good enough to join. He saw his parents as good starfleet officers and decided that he would follow in their footsteps. He had great trouble suppressing his emotions and decided that he would simply deal with them the human way. He became rather interested in science after looking at past scientists’ achievements. He had hoped to discover something interesting and to better the galaxy. In his belief that a Starfleet career would be more beneficial to him, he pursued that route. He took a Starfleet entrance exam after months of endless studying, and barely made it in. He joined starfleet at 18 and excelled in his courses. Although he excelled he experienced many hardships. He had a series of emotional outbursts, and took almost all of his will to control his emotions. He eventually reached a point of complete control of his emotions and resembled a very normal human minus the pointed ears. He took many courses about psychology, and one about self defense techniques. He avoided other Vulcans due to the fact that they weren’t like him. He once thought about avoiding Vulcans altogether though, but decided against it as they were his teachers. He was very social with many of the people and made many lifelong friends. He became quite distant from his family and his brothers became very distant from him as well. The last time he saw his parents was at the age of 24 due to a dispute about how he handled himself and logic. He wanted to further deviate from a path of logic, and his parents always lectured him on his Vulcan lineage. |
