| Age | 26 (32 Federation) |
Physical Appearance
| Height | 5'11" | |
| Weight | 85lbs | |
| Hair Color | Black with metallic blue streaks | |
| Eye Color | Green compound | |
| Physical Description | Weight 85 lbs.(due to being hollow boned - see below) She has deep emerald green eyes all of one colour without any white. The eyes are striking since Akkaidian's have compound eyes. The tiny facets tend to reflect light in a matter that to some they appear to be cut jewels. Her hair is jet black in colour but with striking electric blue metallic highlights. The length reaches to the middle of her back but she normally keeps it in a high pony tail. As with other Akkaidian's females, she has a small waist and slim figured. Due to her physiology (please she below) she has much higher endurance then most humanoids (greater and more efficient respiratory system combined with three hearts) however since she lacks a diaphragm, like Terrain birds anything to constrictive around her chest will cause her to pass out or even suffocate. In addition, female Akkaidians develop wings. This enables them to fly to swallow spots to lay their eggs. Other Information : Akkaidians are humanoid creatures that are bradymetabolic with a heterometabolus development. The Akkaidians are sexually trimorphic Members breeding males being approximately 1.5 to 1.8 meters tall but weighing less then the average human adult male with ranges approximately 63 to 70 kg; females which are all fertile range in height equivalent to breeding males but more gracile in structure with weights 40 to 50 kg. A non-breeding sterile males are also present with heights 1.9 to 2.2 meters and weights of 95 to 115 kg average. Primarily work in heavy labor. Respiratory system Unidirectional Air Flow similar to Terran birds Lungs with Air Sacs One (1) Interclavicular Air Sac Two (2) Cervical Air Sacs Two (2) Anterior Thoracic Air Sacs Two (2) Posterior Thoracic Air Sacs Two (2) Abdominal Air Sacs Respiratory cycle Anterior Air Sacs -(1) Interclavicular, (2) Cervicals, and (2) Anterior Thoracics Posterior Air Sacs - (2) Posterior Thoracics and (2) Abdominals Inhalation - Air from outside the body into the Posterior Air Sacs Exhalation - Air from Posterior Air Sacs to Lungs Inhalation - Air from the lungs to the Anterior Air Sacs Exhalation - Air from the Anterior Air Sacs out of the body Visual system Two eyes Transitional compound eyes. Parts of the eye in females are specialized to an acute fovea Capable of perceiving light in 280 to 700 nm range. Thus, they are capable of seeing into the ultra-violet range but lack sensitivity in the red range compared to humans. Circulatory system Haemoglobin - iron based Hearts: There are a total of 3 hearts. The first consist of twin two-chambered hearts which supply blood to the respiratory and flight muscle systems. The third is a four-chambered heart to supply blood to the rest of the organism. Diet Optional hematophages. They also feed on fruit, fruit juices and other fluids. The females especially when producing eggs for reproduction become much more obligatory hematophages. Reproduction Internal insemination between breeding males and females. The females if fertilized then produce eggs which they then lay in the shallow waters of the many coral reefs. In order to do so, they develop a set of membranous wings similar to dragonfly or technically damselfly wings since they lay parallel to the body. The eggs develop and emerge as a sort of nymph stage and gathered again by the females and nourished as in mammals. Hormonal variations in the milk determine if the developing youngling becomes non-fertile male, breeding male or female. Other- Hematophagy, their bite contains a substances that have anti-coagulant effect, anesthetic effect (so the bite is not felt) and also induces a pleasurable response also to keep prey from running. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Background : Alekelea is a polite person having been raised in a strict hierarchical society. She can be very withdrawn at times as Akkadia has had little contact with the galaxy and visitors are strictly controlled. Akkadia is not a Federation member but considered an allied world. As part of opening to the outside a few special members have been chosen to both represent and also to see what the is outside the world. She was chosen by her guild as representative of her world to Star Fleet The Guild name means healers or those that heal. It is a relatively small Guild House but important enough. The members functions are mostly to help guide the healing process if things go awry. Akkadians have remarkable powers of regeneration and are sometimes called the Dorian Grey people as once into adulthood they do not seem to age until at their very end and then age comes on swiftly. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | Extremly clever, interested in many fields and philosophies. Physically her strength is great physical stamina due to a highly efficient respiratory system combined with three hearts. The same strength as above is also a weakness, like terran birds she has no diaphragm and anything to restrictive across her chest will cause her to pass out. To her it is quite natural, but she has found that many species frown upon Akkaidian heamatophagia. Coming from a species which is capable of flight, the natural ability to think in three dimensions made her quite good at spatial problems. However she can easily get claustrophobic as well. She is not physically strong and her bones can be broken easily. As mentioned, she has no diaphragm and thus constriction across the chest will lead to coma and death. Her highly efficient respiratory system has its weakness as it makes her much more subject to gases - the canary in the mine. Being Bradymetabolic is also both an asset and weakness though more so that later. Since she is not homeothermic extreme cold or heat has quicker effects on her and she is less able to deal with it. However, what will cause a homeotherm to die from extreme heat or cold her systems just more or less shut down and she goes into a torporic state. |
|
| Ambitions | While the chance to go off world is an exciting one, it also means that she will miss out on the pairings that are done on world between the Great Houses. She longs perhaps some day to be allowed to return and be paired to raise a family. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Anything and Everything. Almost everything and anything catches her attention but she jumps from project and interest on a whim as the next shinny bauble, or curiosity catches her attention. Her quarters tends to be a tidy clutter of various objects in various states of assembly or disassembly - one is never sure which, nor is she. Like most Akkadian females she loves water-dancing which is an Akkadian art form that looks much like Terran ballet, but one does it with ones toes just touching the water while on the wing. It is called the balance of wind and wave. She has trained and taken lessons and is quite good. She also loves to sing and before being selected had some from the Guild House illm Hana'mela to train her voice. |

| Personal History | Alekela was brought into her Guild House along with five others when she was gathered from the sea. As a female in a matriarchael orientated society she was given the very best education that she could get. As being from the Healer Guild, she got to travel her world quite extensively. She quickly caught the eyes of her tutors as she quickly learned various aspects of science, culture and technology far beyond even more senior students, this caused whispers of A'Ksu to swirl around her. A term she knew meant dangerous but she did not quite understand why until she was sent for a time to House Warraquim, the knowledge keepers, the most powerful house of the Great Houses of Akkadia. There she learned more about history of her planet that had was not general knowledge and it was there also that Allyndra illm Warraquim the House Mother decided that she was to be selected for off world. |

| Service Record | Entering the Academy was not hard for Alekelea as she quickly mastered the entrance exams but also because the Federation was interested in Akkadia as a strategic spot on the little explored Sagittarius Arm. Entering the Academy, she at first was very quiet and reserved as the newness of a place and peoples she had never met or even heard about became her new reality. She was just a year in and with the help of others did she persevere through her first years. These friends became very close even though scattered amoung the Fleet, they ended up calling themselves the Sisterhood of the Misfits. Alekelea being from the Guild of Healers was directed by her Guild and the Council to continue with that pursuit and learn about Fleet medicine. She graduated Suma Cum Laude, though the honour was great, it was the shout of her friends that made her hearts sour. --- Cadet Cruise - USS Firebird Resident - USS Polaris Physician - USS Tranquility |
