Personal history: Shtik's father was a Starfleet Intelligence operative
who died mysteriously when Shtik was quite young.� Shtik, therefore, was raised
on Earth by his mother, a Federation Council member, and his Grandmother, a
Starfleet Admiral.� Although his name translates roughly as "inquisitive" from
the vulcan language, the human kids couldn't help but take it in the English
context and make fun of him.� While most human children would have been humiliated
and hurt by this, Shtik's nonemotional reserve kicked in and he lived up to
his vulcan name by making an in-depth study of Earth humor.
When Shtik attended the Vulcan science academy' on the homeworld of his race, his fellow vulcans were stunned by his fascination with the three stooges, sitcoms and 21st century improvisational CGI.� He found himself shunned by his own race.� Once again, Shtik simply ignored it and immersed himself in his studies.� He graduated with degrees in Astronomy and Astrophysics.� He was quickly sucked into Starfleet Academy. Shtik's Starfleet career was quite successful.� After a couple of short tours on smaller scoutships, he finally found a position aboard the Galaxy class starship the USS Galaxy where he worked his way up to the rank of Lieutenant and the position of Chief Science officer.� During his time aboard the Galaxy, Shtik was able to find the secret of his fathers death.�
After he returned his fathers Katra to the hall of ancient thought on Vulcan, he decided to take a leave of absence and remain there. While there, Shtik was visited by Starfleet Intelligence and thoughally debriefed regarding the incident with his father.� When all was done, Shtik found himself demoted to the rank of Ensign and transferred out of Starfleet's science division.
Personality: True to his vulcan demeaner, Shtik is generally shy and reserved.� However, his time on earth and his study of humor have given him abnormally high social skills for his race. Within his quarters, Shtik keeps a poster of Buster "Old Stoneface" Keaton.
Quote: "The illogical nature of a given
subject does not make the study of that subject illogical.� In fact, the only
logical approach to the illogical is it's study."
