| Post: | Defenders Task Group 85.3, "Whitestone" |
||
| Species: | Trill Male | ||
| Birthplace: | Toronto, Canada, Earth | ||
| Age: | 44 | ||
| |
|||
| Physical characteristics: | |||
| Height/Weight: | 175 centimeters / 77 kilograms | ||
| Hair/Eyes: | Black / Green | ||
| Description: | Physically, Tebrun Lora is of average height, with a muscular build. His facial features are somewhat "Roman" in nature -- sharp and aquilline, though his skin is somewhat lighter than the typical Roman stereotype. It is quite rare to see him without a somewhat "devil-may-care" gleam in his eyes. His hair is generally kept short, and usually seems somewhat unkempt. His skin shows the standard Trill mottling along his face, neck, flank, and legs. | ||
| Notes: | Tebrun Lora Kor is a joined Trill -- Tebrun is the seventh host for the Kor symbiont, which is approximately 350 years old. The two have been joined for twelve years, and are a stable pairing. This is the forth male host for the Kor symbiont, who has also been joined to three female hosts. Tebrun sometimes becomes slightly nauseous after being transported, and for this reason, prefers to take shuttlecraft whenever possible. | ||
| |
|||
| Personality characteristics: | |||
| Marital status: | Single | ||
| Family: | Father: Jestrel Lora; Mother: Yasman Lora (Trill Ambassador to the Federation); Sister: Toria Lora | ||
| Dominants: | Whimsical, fatherly, confident, serene | ||
| Notes: | Of the two beings in the symbiosis, Kor is the dominant personality, possessing the typical Trill symbiont ability to not take himself too seriously. Confident, paternal, and a bit gruff, Kor is a natural leader. He has the ability to give instructions to his people while making those orders seem like their idea. He cheerfully gives credit for success to the personnel under his command, even if the success was strictly based on Kor's work or ideas. He is a touch irreverant, possesses an acerbic wit, and does not suffer fools lightly. | ||
| Kor Symbiont: | The Kor symbiont is one of the more well-known outside of Trill, mostly because of the efforts of Dosim Kor, the third host, a noted Federation Ambassador, and Varani Kor, the most recent host before Tebrun, who was a Starfleet Security/Strategic Operations officer who went on to become the Commander of the Second Fleet and one of the heroes of the Federation/Dominion War. Compared to those two, the other hosts have been relatively insignificant, but Tebrun has managed to merge the memories of all into an extremely effective whole, utilizing a broad spectrum of the past host's skills. | ||
| Interests: | Tebrun Lora Kor could accurately be described as a "Renaissance Man." Not only a distinguished scientist, engineer, and pilot, he is also proficient in several martial arts forms, is a fine amateur military historian, plays two instruments, and is a master or grandmaster at several games of strategy or tactics, including chess, klin'zha, Strategaema, and Parrises Squares. | ||

|||
| Personal History: | |||
| Family history: | Tebrun was born Tebrun Lora, the first-born child of the Trill Ambassador to the Federation and her husband. Born and raised on Earth, his childhood was extremely tumultuous, with his family moving frequently. When the Federation/Dominion War broke out in 2374, Tebrun followed the war daily, building models of the more famed Starfleet, Klingon, and Romulan vessels of the day, including the Defiant, Bloodhawk, BortaS, and Coronado. When the war ended, he begged his parents to host a party in the honor of many of the heroes of the war, a party that most of them attended. | ||
| Early life: | The war settled Tebrun's direction young: extremely patriotic, and already fascinated with starships large and small, he was determined to enter the Academy. Most of his adolescent years were spent working toward this goal, whether studying extremely advanced engineering and scientific topics or learning to pilot the latest ships being developed by his father's business, Whitestone Enterprises. Early testing showed that Tebrun had a genius-level IQ, and that combined with his mother's contacts within the Federation allowed him to easily attain a posting to Starfleet Academy at the age of 18. | ||
| At the Academy: | Showing his colors early, Tebrun enrolled in a class load at the Academy that many students would have found killing, choosing a double specialization in general Engineering and Starship Operations. Tebrun was also selected as a member of the Nova Squadron flight team late in his Sophomore year. His drive, charisma, intelligence, and leadership skills soon placed him at or near the top of his class, and he became the leader of the Nova Squadron as well in his Junior year. His advisor encouraged him to consider the Starfleet Marine Corps for its ground unit, covert intelligence, and small spacecraft training programs; Tebrun transferred to the SFMC Academy Annex following an accelerated graduation from Starfleet Academy. | ||
| Starfleet: | Tebrun graduated from the Starfleet Marine Corps Annex in 2388, and requested a posting as an assault shuttle pilot trainee following graduation, a posting that was granted. By that time, though still only 22, Tebrun had accumulated more than 1200 hours in fourteen different light and ultralight starship types. This experience was recognized by the Klingon Captain Kargan of the U.S.S. Renegade, who made Tebrun a member of his ship's Squadron Alfa, the RG-04 "Shadow Hunters." Tebrun's rapier wit, especially just after destroying enemy targets, soon earned him the callsign "Jester." When he was later transferred to the U.S.S. Garth of Izar, he was a natural pick for the flight team that that ship sent to the Solar Wind Starfleet War Games in 2389. Tebrun distinguished himself and earned a Gunnery Star. | ||
| The Accident: | Tebrun Lora became Tebrun Kor on Stardate 238909.04, following a rigorous selection process by the Trill Symbiosis Commission. Tebrun was specifically selected by the Kor symbiont, who was known to have a slightly martial bent. The joining proceeded without significant problems. During his return trip to the Garth of Izar, however, Tebrun's runabout was attacked and destroyed by Cardassian radicals. Tebrun and two others escaped using pressure suits, but all three were severely injured; one later died. Tebrun Kor survived, but only after months of rehabilitation. He was later placed on medical leave of absense, and elected not to reactivate his commission following his therapy. | ||
| 20s and 30s: | Following the accident that nearly ended his life, Tebrun redevoted himself to his engineering and operations studies, eventually accumulating two advanced degrees in Engineering. He was also later selected to participate in a Romulan student exchange program, partially due to his intelligence, partially due to his past Intelligence and Marine training. Tebrun is also a published author in several scientific and engineering journals.
|
||
| Coronado: | Tebrun Kor's Starfleet commission was reactivated in June 2399 by Vice Admiral Brian Aldur, who essentially drafted him to ensure that one of the ships in his group, U.S.S. Coronado, did not fall into the hands of a rogue organization of Starfleet officers called the "Vanguard." Tebrun managed to take command of the ship and get it clear while the Starfleet "Insurrection" incident raged. Following the insurrection, Kor was promoted to Commander and placed in permanent command. Tebrun Kor has been commanding the ship ever since, with only a serious injury in November 2400 interrupting. Following that injury, Tebrun Kor began calling himself Tebrun Lora Kor for reasons which are not quite clear...

| Performance Evaluations: | |||
| Stardate 238806.04: | CO: Marine General Abraham Wallace, SFA SFMC Annex Commandant: Rating: Superior. Tebrun Lora Kor has excelled in all courses of study, completing all assignments on or ahead of schedule. His instructors find him an excellent student. Recommend promotion to 2nd Lieutenant. | ||
| Stardate 238903.14: | CO: Captain Kargan, U.S.S. Renegade: Rating: Superior. Cadet Officer Lora Kor performed his duties with distinction and honor. He has been a credit to this command. He should, however, be encouraged to maintain a professional bearing at all times. His attempts at levity rarely have a place on a warship. | ||
