(Name) Ben Starlight
He grew into a lean young man, adept with both sword and music. He had an almost magical grace, moving with such fluidity that it seems he was born for the sword. His wiry muscles didn't get in the way for him, allowing much easier movement for acrobatics and dodging.
His parents made sure that he was well educated in other aspects, though they never played a direct role in his life. They hired teachers for him in mathematics, literature, and ancient languages, such as English. He accelled at these, though he didn't care for them as much as his music and fighting skills.
Life wasn't all fun and games, however. Between his schooling, and practicing with flute and fencing, he had little time to hone his social skills, which left him lacking anyone to talk to. His parents were always involved with important matters, and his sisters showed little interest in socializing with him.
For years this went on. Every day, he would be taught scholastics, then go out for the rest of the day in the orchard to fence and practice.
At 17, he was a handsome warrior. He was taller than most of his race, being 5'11, and was very light and agile. He wasn't extremely strong, but what he lacked in sheer strength, he made up for with skill, dexterity and sheer determination. He found that he enjoyed wearing black clothing best, as it made him seem much more imposing to opponents, thus deterring fights. It also made him seem a fraction larger, magically taking light in, so that he had that fraction of a second to get out of the way of attacks.
His parents didn't want him to go to the Academy, thinking it too frivolous. Unlike most Vulcans, he rebelled and fled to the academy in a small capsule, never to see his home planet again.
