// Character Background
  The son of renowned scientists Tolora and Tomek. His parents were highly respected scientists who conducted their research at the Vulcan Science Academy. Taal spent his entire childhood on Vulcan. Taal joined the Vulcan Science Academy when in 2367. Shortly after joining, Taal experienced emotion as he fell in love with a classmate, T'Laana. He was sent to a Vulcan Master to achieve Kolinahr, the long rite that sheds emotions. He spent 1 year with the Vulcan Master and successfully achieved Kolinahr. He returned to the Vulcan Science Academy and stayed there until 2371, when he graduated. He joined Starfleet Science Academy immediately. In 2373, Taal experienced Pon Farr for the first time. He was transferred to Starfleet Medical for treatment. Since he did not believe there was a suitable mate, Taal did not bond with anyone and the Pon Farr was resolved. Taal transferred to Starfleet Medical and stayed there until he graduated in the Class of 2377, Class Rank 25th of 231. Taal was given the assignment of Junior Medical Officer aboard the USS Jupiter in 2377. He stayed there for over a year and was promoted to Lieutenant. In 2378, Taal was reassigned to the USS Geneva as Senior Medical Officer. A month after being assigned, Taal learned that his mother had become ill. He transferred to Strategic Operations Officer and went to Vulcan. After a week, Tolora had recovered so Taal returned to the USS Geneva. He kept his position for 3 more weeks before he transferred to Chief Science Officer. In 2379, Taal met a Caitain named Tlatoani. She was a civilian assigned to the ship as a specialist in the field of Stellar Cartography and Astrometrics. On a mission at Liridian Prime, Taal and Tlatoani shared a mindmeld. In the next couple of months, Taal fell in love with Tlatoani. In 2379, Taal was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and named Executive Officer on board the USS Geneva. Shortly after, he lost control of his emotions when his love for Tlatoani grew deeper. Not knowing what to do and in fear he would hurt Tlatoani, Taal took a brief leave of absence to Vulcan to regain control. On Vulcan, a procedure called Fullara was performed to erase Taal's memories of his love for Tlatoani. Upon return to the ship, with the help of Tlatoani, Taal's memories resurfaced over a period of a few weeks. In 2380, Taal was promoted to Commander. Tlatoani died shortly after. Before Taal had time to deal with her death, he led an Away Team to the planet of Zestel IV to investigate a mysterious plague that had infected the Gruthorian colony. It was soon discovered that the plague had Borg invasion implications and an attempt was made to stop the Borg. However, Taal was soon assimilated and was under the command of the tiny collective. The Borg nanoprobes were soon removed from Taal's system, however, the trauma cause a reversion in Taal's mental state making him believe he was five years of age. Taal returned to Vulcan to receive psychological assistance. When his memories resurfaced, Taal returned to Starbase 245 for further observation. There he served as Senior Scientific Observer for a few weeks until an invasion of the Starbase by an unknown alien race caused Taal to be given the temporary assignment of Acting Executive Officer. A couple of weeks later, Taal was reassigned as Executive Officer of the Geneva. While waiting for the Geneva to dock at Starbase 245, he met Kazue Kimura, a young Japanese Doctor, who was assigned to the Geneva as Chief Medical Officer. Immediately, the two felt a connection and over the next few weeks, they became friends. In 2381, During an away team mission aboard the Federation cruise liner USS Empress of the Stars, Taal was shot in the stomach and shoulder while attempting to commandeer the vessel's bridge. Due to this incident, the strong bond Taal and Kazue had for each other quickly blossomed into love. Taal began to lose control of his emotions again and reluctantly informed Counselor Bauer of his condition. Seeing no alternative, he was removed from active duty. Soon after, the cause of his condition was discovered when a microscopic device was removed from Taal, apparently affecting the hypothalamus portion of his brain. The origin of the device was unknown, but recognized by Kazue as Cardassian technology. A few weeks after the surgery, he was cleared for active duty. On a mission to investigate a malfunctioning antenna array between the Taqra and Theta Sygni systems, a strange phenomena occurred in which an alternate universe persona of Tlatoani returned to the Geneva. Although unknown that she was from an alternate timeline, it caused a rift in the relationship between Taal and Kazue. Taal also discovered that in the alternate timeline that Tlatoani originated from, he and Tlatoani married and had a daughter, Taliyah. Soon after the rift between Taal and Kazue was mended, Taal experienced his first kiss. Taal also showed Kazue how Vulcans expressed affection for one another as touch telepaths.
