"Lt. Dexter Tarak reporting for duty as ships counsellor.  Permission to come aboard."
The junior officer working the transporter grants permission and informs him to report to the bridge immediatly.  A junior officer takes his bag.

Tarak enters the turbo lift.  "Bridge."

The turbo lift doors open to the bridge.  A Very Vulcan looking individual steps just off the lift "Captain, Lt. Tarak reporting for duty as ships counsellor."

(I'm not sure if you received a copy of my character so here it is.)

Name: Dexter Tarak
Race: Bataziod/Vulcan
Sex: Male
Age: 18
Height: 1.85 meters (6 feet 2 inches)
Weight: 70 kilograms (155 lbs)
Eye Colour: Black
Hair Colour: Bald
Other: Pointed Ears of the Vulcan

Birthdate: 7707.16
Birthplace: Vulcan
Mother: Selina Tarak (Decesed)
Father: Tuvek Tarak (Decesed)
Siblings: None

General: Every two years Tarak (he likes to go by his last name) moves himself from one of his peoples homeworlds to the other.  For two years he would stay on vulcan and study there, for the next two years he would do the same on Betazed.  This has produced an individual who has emotion but for the most part can surpress it when needed.
	At a very young age both of Taraks parents were killed aboard a starship they were serving on.  His father was an engineer and his mother a medical officer.  They were both part of an away team that died saving hostages on a space station.  The exact details were never released to the public.
	Tarak hopes to become a Starfleet officer just like his parents were.
Psychological: Tarak is logical, inteligent, peaceful and completely honest with his feelings.  Tarak is incapable of an outright lie, but has been known to omit portions of a story if necessary.

Medical: The combination of Vulcan and Betazoid DNA has had a surprising effect.  Tarak is 100% Telepathic (unusual for a 1/2 Betazoid).  Also Tarak can perform a mind meld but no other Vulcan abilities.Tarak also has the Vulcan third eye-lid.  Ha is unable to grow any body hair for some reason.
