T'Pirak

Childhood and Early Life
T'Pirak was adopted by two humans at a very young age. They were barely one at the time. T'Pirak never knew their biological parents and never found out what happened to them until they were a lot older. Their parents had passed away on earth, they were teachers at starfleet and lived on earth. T'Pirak went to two humans that their biological parents were extremely close friends

Academy Years
T'Pirak enrolled in Starfleet at the age of 19. They enrolled so that they could be like their biological parents. They decided to not become a teacher though. They had always wanted to be in space, even if they weren't even doing anything related to it. T'Pirak decided to become a counselor for many reasons, like how they had a lot of issues with their emotions when they were younger, especially since Humans and Vulcans have completely opposite ways of dealing with their emotions. One of the other reasons was because they wanted to help people.

Early Service Years
They were on The London for training to be a counselor before it was destroyed, they weren't on the ship for very long however, only two years. T'Pirak had helped evacuate the survivors as well. After that, they were moved to the USS Providence for the exact same reason they were on The London.
