| Personal History | Previous hosts: Lamorra Verani Bast: First host. Female, musician. Joined at the age of 23, died at age 106, of respiratory failure. Married, with two children. She was a renowned classical musician, having appeared at concert venues all over the Federation. She played at diplomatic receptions and formal ceremonies commemorating the signature of important treaties, and was occasionally instrumental in closing vital alliances. She was an effective back-channel diplomat. Wilem Ganath Bast: Second host. Male, scientist. Joined at age 24. An avid rock climber, died at age 63 after a fall from a cliff on the Trill Homeworld. Married, with three children. He was an accomplished particle physicist, who studied the Breen weapon during the Dominion War. Temerant Lochees Bast: A bit shy at first approach, Temerant Lochees was studious, methodical, and a bit of a perfectionist. Inspired by his father’s experiences as a joined Trill, he petitioned the Trill Symbiosis Commission for joining. After a rigorous process, he was finally selected, but had to wait four years before the Bast symbiont became available. Joining gave him deeper wisdom, aplomb and self-confidence, and broadened his artistic interests. His devotion to duty has never been questioned. Self-confident and sure of himself, he excels at multi-tasking and is very efficient at his job. He has a solid grasp of propulsion mechanics, and is a very competent engineer. After joining, his previous hosts' experiences have given him a better understanding of sciences and fine arts. He is a good cook, having learned more than the basics from his previous Hosts, as well as from his sister, who is a top chef. He loves running, and frequently goes on 20k runs on the Holodeck. He is a disciple of the Lethani, a Trill martial arts technique. Temerant (host) was a 29-year-old Initiate who has earned his rank of Lieutenant in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers when he was granted a symbiont by the Symbiosis Commission. He graduated from Starfleet Academy with honors, and received his Engineering credentials with commendations from his instructors. He has served on several Starfleet ships and starbases, before receiving word of his acceptance as an Initiate. He took a leave of absence to complete the Initiate training, and finally received the Bast symbiont after the previous host, Wilem, was critically injured in a rock climbing accident. A specialist in structural integrity and propulsion systems, he is also well-rounded, and possesses a solid base in every field of Engineering. After joining, the expertise gained from his previous hosts' lives, combined with his Engineering credentials, allowed him to apply for a position in Operations. The Bast symbiont is fairly young, by Trill standards. First joined to Lamorra Bast, a classical musician. Lamorra was a strong performer, playing in the Mak'alan Symphony Orchestra, as a featured soloist. Her specialty was the Trill cello, though she also mastered the harp, lute, piano and flute. She performed at several official events, such as diplomatic receptions. From her, the Bast symbiont inherited patience, a good ear for music, and learned to be very methodical and to always invest in practice. Lamorra's consort was an unjoined Trill male, a visual artist famous for his impressionistic landscapes and portrayals of everyday life on Trill. She was the mother of two children. She died of respiratory failure at the age of 82, surrounded by her family and friends. The Bast symbiont went to Wilem Bast, a Trill scientist, who specialized in particle physics. Wilem was called upon to help with the war effort during the Dominion War, specifically in countering the Breen weaponry that could penetrate Federation shields. He was granted access to special research material, and studied Thalaron radiation from documents received by the Romulan delegation. Wilem Bast's consort was an unjoined Trill female, with whom he had three children. She was a university professor, specializing in linguistics. From Wilem, the Bast symbiont inherited a love for the sciences, a love for rock climbing, swimming and running, and the importance of being methodical and rigorous. |
