Aravik "Aaron" Akron

## Appearance

Aravik looks like a young Vulcan fresh from the academy. He has a neatly pressed uniform with a single golden pip, a single silver engagement ring on his left finger, and a pair of neatly maintained shoes. His hair is slightly grown out to a cut similar to the old chief counselor’s, but it is a jet black. Aravik always has an infectious smile on his face despite being a Vulcan; he tries his best to avoid suppression as, in his words, it is no way to live. If you catch him shirtless, he has a swimmer’s build and the typical Vulcan olive-colored skin. He’s 5’6.

## Personality

A very peppy and rather bouncy personality, he never fails to make folks comfortable during counseling sessions. Aravik doesn’t suppress or hide his emotions, instead dealing with them in other ways of venting. His human eighth assists with his balance greatly. Aravik is very intelligent and smart, though he can be very immature at times.

### Morals

Only do what you have to do, never stick your neck out for others in a life-or-death situation.

## History

Ensign Aravik “Aaron” Akron was born of an anomaly in System 1962-Z-2020 during an away team mission. Then chief counselor Charlie Akron thought up a human version of himself on the planet, the form materializing. Charlie proceeded to use this obnoxious human version of himself as fighting practice, regarding the copy as a mere creation of a planet-wide holodeck system. Charlie Akron sparred with said flesh hologram, accidentally knocking him out. Charlie then decided to carry the human to the new shuttle where he woke up. The human Charlie boarded the shuttle with the rest of the crew, heading up to the main tree. He was discovered to be actual flesh and blood when all of the holograms disappeared, a separate-species clone of the chief counselor. Charlie proceeded to regard this as a longstanding glitch in the system. After they were released to the planet for shore leave, the human Charlie decided to prank and play with the Vulcan version of himself. Charlie used the powers of planet-imagination to reduce the clone’s age, accidentally punching the clone in a slight fit of rage after he was kicked in the groin. The amnesiac clone woke up and requested transport to Arcadia, beaming up to a shared quarters with Captain Kirk.

The product of the beam-up had the mind of an eighteen year old starfleet cadet named Charlie, unknowingly thrust in the future by the recent events. His early transport up to the ship prevented the healing process from taking hold, leaving the cadet as he was. He slowly forged a friendship with Kirk, even taking a few mannerisms off of the man before his chaotic mutation set in shortly after his arrival on the USS Arcadia.

Chuck’s body had the genetic code of a Vulcan, but his body was formed as a human’s. He suffered a very painful mutation in his office during one of the counseling sessions as his body chaotically reshaped itself to match his genetic code. An emergency-beam to sickbay confirmed this, but there was nothing that could be done. He was given a simple pain reliever before he went back to his quarters. In his shared quarters, the unpredictable and strong Vulcan emotions took hold. His previous clothes ripped as he grew a good foot, making him appear like a wereVulcan. When Kirk came, he decided to attack with a semi-blind rage. Kirk’s single punch disabled Chuck, sending the pained Vulcan to the ground. Chuck then hid under his blanket, hiding from the world as his brain was forced to accept even more memories released by the chaotic change. He could remember the life and experiences of Charlie up until the age of twenty-five.

Later on, he was called up to the captain’s office to accept a promotion to ensign. He took up a post in the counseling department until being called by a general message to rescue the captain. He stupidly took the captain down step-by-step with the unconscious man perched on his head, making it down far enough to transport. Ensign Akron proceeded to move to sickbay to attempt surgery, but he seriously doubted his abilities in front of the other officers. He attempted to save the captain’s life but ultimately failed, receding into a ball of sorrow for a few days until he met his future mate.

Penny Yellowstone, friend of Charlie and Chuck’s, too. Chuck found out about her a month into the journey of the future after she spotted him in the mess hall. Charlie already knew about her, so he wasn’t fazed. Aravik proceeded to accompany Penny to her quarters after Charlie was regarded as a cold and fractured person; this is where Aravik consoled Penny and tried to get her to calm down after the death of her brother. They forged a friendship throughout the early weeks, Aravik’s eventual Vulcan bond with Penny was deemed unbreakable after he accidentally included her in his pon farr ritual.

Aravik continued to give psychological reviews and counseling sessions throughout the ship’s bout in the 32nd, but his attention was largely divided when he found out that she was pregnant. He largely neglected his duty during this time to take care of Penny, accompanying her nearly everywhere with his protective self.

His final major event was the death of his friend and mentor, Charlie Akron, near the end of the 32nd century’s run. He mourned the man’s death for days afterward and still does to this day, an eternal hatred burning in his heart for the Dominion and the Jem’Hadar for being cold and merciless killers. He has a gentle facial twitch now from the enormous outpouring of emotions after Charlie’s death, the result of his Vulcan brain taking too much too soon. Aravik then decided to work his hardest after this, forcing his work to take precedence over everything to keep his mind off of it.

After they returned to their proper time, Aravik was present for the time-accelerated birth of his child, Irrith. He remained to supervise the early happenings of the child, but then proceeded to board the new Luna Class USS Arcadia to stand his post against his mate’s wishes. Duty, duty. He continued to serve on the USS Arcadia to this day, working with the crew as a psychologist and a counselor.
