Galan Tomalak

Ensign Galan Tomalak is an intelligence officer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Galan was born on a colony named Na'van IV, with his father who works serving the Romulan Republic and his mother who is a Starfleet officer. Being born under the Republic, Galan didn't suffer the fate of being taught by the Tal Shiar to be a conniving and untrustworthy Romulan, instead being taught New Romulan principles of cooperation and the benefits of not being a paranoid person. He also lived with his aunt and uncle, considering his father works in the Republic and isn't around enough to properly raise him, and though his mother has more opportunities, he spent his child and teen hood with his aunt and uncle.
He had made good friends and companions in his later years before he turned 18 while on New Romulus. But the time to choose was coming closer, Republic or Starfleet? He decided ultimately that he would serve Starfleet first, as the ideals of the Federation were very enticing and serving onboard with such a multitude of other species piqued his interest, since so far it's all been Romulan faces.
Already being a citizen by law, he took flights to the nearest center to apply to enter the Academy.
Around the 2nd year in, he started to really form what path he would take, and he was very interested in the Intelligence aspect of the Fleet. It was a little hard mentally, since once in a while he'd get comments about someone like him getting through Intelligence, but those moments were few and far between enough that it didn't dampen his priorities. 
He completed his training with pretty good marks, getting 4th highest grades in his class. He was posted on the Werriman as his first assignment, and served for 2 years on the ship.
After about the 2nd year, he was given the option of switching and getting a post on the Odyssey, and its mission piqued his interest greatly. He had accepted the Transfer.
Now, this is where his story continues.
== Appearance ==
Standing at 6', Galan keeps in good shape with regular exercise, most of the time in his own quarters. He has short jet-black hair, and the recognizable Romulan ridges on his forehead.
== Personality ==
Has decent respect for higher authority. He tends to hide in his own corner of a console when working, intensely focused on whatever he is doing. Whenever he isn't working on a specific task, he tends to work on a code decryption program he has that he constantly improves and updates, trying to make it the most efficient. When interacting with others, though, he holds a more charismatic attitude and his humor tends to have a lot of sarcasm dripped in it. He doesn't shy away from social interaction, he just tends to have a sort of tunnel vision when it comes to his work.
== Psych Evaluation ==
He did not suffer any intensely traumatic events while on the Werriman, though there had been some close calls before. He is psychologically prepared for the job of Starfleet.
== Other Information ==
* Likes: Lehe'jhme, Travit and Tarka. He also enjoys a handful of human foods as well. 
* Dislikes: Those who are readily dismissive of others, any sour foods or flavors.
