Oadel Akastren

## Appearance

Oadel stands at an average 6’ 0” in height and weighing roughly around 215 pounds, having a lean, but brawny, muscular build. Being in between an ectomorph and mesomorph. He has square muscular hips that have a skinny curve to them, as well as a pair of pretty broad shoulders. His muscle mass has increased greatly since his younger days, working out almost every day ever since he married his husband, who has given him the courage to workout more. When wearing tight clothes, you’d be able to see the toned muscle that lies underneath.

He has supple, light coloured skin that has a natural salmon pink blush to the cheeks, with soft emerald green eyes that shine bright as they scan the room with curiosity. His face has a sincere and relaxed look to it almost all the time, sporting a light smirk as he unconsciously rubs his light brown chin stubble. But, he can turn on a very static, staid look when needing to look intimidating. Along with the ability to shoot people his Borg death stare, sure to give anyone chills on the back of their spine.

All the more, surrounding his left eye he has one of his many left over Borg implants that is a noticeable feature on him. Other of his implants include: ocular implant, an implant on his right cheek by the ear, an implant on his right bicep, a large implant on his right thigh, an implant on his left calf, a large implant on his left and right feet, and his assimilation tubules that are encompassed in a silver, metallic glove-like implant on his left hand. They can be activated by his sympathetic nervous system, or by inputting a certain button combination on his face implant.

During his off duty time, Oadel likes to wear flowy clothing, such as loose sweatshirts and sweatpants. Especially due to his time after de-assimilation, he had to constantly wear his tight dermaplastic catsuit underneath his uniform that helped regenerate his skin, it not being the most comfortable thing in the world. As well as always wearing his wedding ring that is made of real gold, and is lined with the word ‘Love’ in Betazed and English. The ring is slightly smaller than his finger size, so it doesn’t slip off accidentally.

## Personality

Oadel, for the most part, is one of the most kind-hearted, and sweetest people you could ever meet. He will always put others before himself, and will stand up for his fellow officers and friends. At times, he can be a little shy though, but around his close friends and family, he will always show his true colours.

Despite all of this, however, he can be very rude at times. This is something that has been stuck with him ever since he was released from being a Borg drone. If there is someone, or something, he does not like, he will not hide it. This can be a weakness, and a strength at times. He can be very stern when he needs to be. And can come across as intimidating, if he really tries to. However, he always tries to be as nice as he can, but not too overly nice. As he doesn’t want people to think he is weak.

When Oadel was 16 years old his mother had passed away. This led him into a deep depression, and as a result he did not come out into society for the next three years. Due to what occurred, Oadel had to live with his father, of which was not a suitable parent for Oadel. This caused him to feel as though it was his fault that his father did not want to help him.

Because of this, Oadel has always been very apologetic, and will at times even apologize for something he did not even do. This incident also caused one of Oadel’s worst fears, which is losing someone close to him. If Oadel lost someone as close to him as a mother would be, he would shut down and most likely fall into deep depression.

### Ambitions

* Retire on Betazed or Earth with his husband one day.
* Explore the outer and inner reaches of the Galaxy and beyond.
* To be able to command his own starship one day.

### Morals

* Always stand up for others, no matter what the situation.
* Treat others how you would want to be treated.
* Be the best you can be, always try your best.
* Stand up for yourself, but don’t be cocky or superior.
* Don’t be afraid to state your opinion or grounds on a subject.

## History

### Childhood

Oadel Akastren was born 52 years ago, on a snowy December 19th day on an Excelsior class starship. He was born to his Human father, Agnus Akastren, and his Betazoid mother, Dalera Harem. His father was a Starfleet Lieutenant, and his mother a Counselor at the time he was born. His father had been assigned to the Federation starship, U.S.S. Akagi. The ship had been assigned a mission to survey the current situation of a long-lost Betazoid colony along the Federation borders, near the neutral zone. This colony had been centuries old by this point in time. Formed from a small group of Betazoid colonists of a transport vessel in the early 20th century.

This colony had been the birthplace of a passionate and healthy relationship, between both of Oadel’s parents. The two had fallen in love at first-site, at a conference where the Starfleet crew were to meet with the government officials of the colony. Luckily for Agnus, he had been assigned as a security officer for the command staff of the Akagi. After the meeting, the two decided to meet once and for all. After a moment of compliments to each other, they both had their first kiss with each other. The two stayed together for several weeks. The Captain of the Akagi found out accidentally, however. Luckily for the couple, he was very understanding, and allowed her to come aboard with Agnus.

His parents stayed on board the Akagi for several years together. However they both had eventually grown tired of the constant space battles, and Agnus being so far away from home. So they decided to move to Earth, back to Agnus’ home country of Canada. They made a home on a small farm, where they wanted to one day make their own family together. Delera had decided to get a degree in one of her passions, helping others. So, she went to Starfleet Academy and got into Starfleet as a counselor. After several years of training, she was assigned to a Federation starship as the Assistant Head Counselor. However, she would quickly have to give up this role. One year into the ship’s journey, she became pregnant with her and Agnus’ child. So they decided to go back to Earth to have the baby.

Dalera had been in labor for 22 hours in the ship’s sickbay, luckily being equipped for such occurrences. After hours of going through immense pain, there he finally was. Their beautiful baby boy. However, the first thing the mother had noticed was that he did not have the signature black irises of most Betazoids. The doctor explained this as being a result of his Human genetics becoming dominant in the birthing process. The doctor hypothesized that he would need to focus more to be able to use his mental abilities. However, he would be greatly mistaken for when he was older. After several moments of holding him in her arms, she had decided on the name ‘Oadel’. Named after her father.

Oadel’s childhood had been moderately average, living on his parents farm with a mother and father. However, he had always been quite the loner, and was always more into playing with model starships that his dad made for him, instead of making new friends at school or playing through ‘the Adventures of Captain Proton’ on holosuites when holographic technology started to become more common in households.

One of the most noticeable differences between Oadel and other plain Human children on Earth, he was a half Betazoid. Because of this, his mother wanted to treat as Human as possible. She taught him how to control his empathy and telepathy. He would be taught to use verbal communication almost all the time, instead of how most Betazoid parents would teach their children in using telepathy to speak to each other. Playing a joke or two on dad every once and a while would be fine however.

### The Incident

One of the childhood incidents that Oadel had faced occured one day when he was walking home from school alone. Two boys that were a couple years older than him, the same two that would always be picking on him at school, had snuck up behind him while he was crossing through an old covered bridge. They had pushed him over the edge and into the water, luckily it was not a long way down. However, not so lucky for Oadel, there had been an electric eel in this river somehow.

At the time, Oadel had not been taught how to swim yet. And began to drown in the river. All the more, when he fell into the water, the force of him hitting the water caused sound waves to ripple throughout the water, angering the eel. The eel quickly went over and did a quick pass, electrocuting Oadel in his leg. Luckily it was quick, so there would be no lasting damage. But due to the shock, he had passed out in the water.

However, this would not be Oadel’s demise. Lucky for him, a woman had been passing by right after he had been pushed in. Seeing a pair of arms flailing in the water, she quickly jumped in. Grabbing him up in her arms, she quickly swam out and resuscitated him successfully. After taking him back home to the farm, the woman had a long talk to his mother over coffee. Herself being a mother, she can understand how worried she must have been. And the two became friends over this.

When Oadel began to enter his teenage years, he began to come more out of his shell and more social. For years he had been becoming more and more lonely, but when he entered highschool he decided to change. He wanted to make some friends, and wanted to have relationships. Nevertheless, there would be a dreadful incident lurking around the corner.

### “Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts”

Only a couple days before his sweet 16th birthday, his mother had passed away. She had been away on a Starship for a delegate mission as a representative. Promising to be home just in time for his birthday, however that would not be the case. She had been killed by shrapnel wounds when her bridge console exploded during a battle with the Romulans, whom of which un-cloked out of nowhere. The day before Oadel’s birthday, the news had come home to him and his father.

This caused Oadel and his father to both fall into deep depression. But they would both handle this differently. Oadel had become so distraught, that he decided to move into his parents barn on his own and never come out again. His father however, would become a lethal alcoholic. Agnus had become so consumed by this dark, empty place in his heart without Dalera, that he completely neglected his own son, the one person he needed to be there for in this moment.

His father would go out to Toronto at night, playing games and drowning himself in the most exquisite alcohol. Leaving his only son at home in the cold barn. Despite all of this however, Agnus had enough sanity left to know that he needed help, and that he needed to help his son. Deciding to get counseling, he would start to get on the right track. Over the course of three years, Agnus had finally gotten back into the right state of mind. Walking into the barn, he finds Oadel lying on the ground crying. As every night he would cry so much that he loses energy until he sleeps. His father was able to convince him to come out. Despite all he put him through, Oadel came out. But would still hold this against his father, as he could not verify that he was being sincere with his Betazoid mental abilities, since he had drained them and not exercised those parts of the brain by using them.

### Starfleet

Oadel decided to join Starfleet when he was 19 years old. He wanted a new life for himself, and had this new urge to explore the unknown. He wanted to be able to create a stable, healthy mindset for himself, and be able to have a family down the road. One of which he would be there for his children, unlike his father. Moving away from the farm in Ontario, he moved to San Francisco in one of the Starfleet dormitories. This is where he finally began to explore himself and who he really was.

Oadel decided to join the division of science, training in mainly Astrometrics, Quantum Mechanics, and Temporal Mechanics. He had worked through his assignments day and night, pushing himself to the point where he would be sweating while reading a textbook. He would always remember what his mother taught him, to always do your best no matter what. Because of this, Oadel had chosen many topics of study, more than what the typical graduate has in their first year.

His teachers, as well as the admirals of Starfleet Academy, had quickly recognized this from him. And granted him the rank of Provisional Ensign and field duty on the starship U.S.S. Berlin NCC-70846, a Nebula Class starship, in the astrometric department. He would quickly accept and join the crew. The ship was sent on their very first mission, of which was to explore a new type of star hypothesized to be in a system in deep space of the Beta Quadrant. Unknown to him and the rest of the crew at the time, they would face the dire threat of the Borg Collective.

The trip through Federation and Klingon space would take several months to arrive at the station, however it was thought to be worth the long journey. It was during this trip that Oadel discovered something else about himself that he never really explored before. He had been attracted towards other men on the crew, finding many of them very attractive. However not having the courage to ask the one man he thought was very sweet out for a date, a trill Ensign who was only a couple of years older than him.

The ship had been several lightyears out of Klingon space by the time they had seen what looked to be a wrecked Borg Cube. Sensors showed that it had been damaged by a plasma storm that knocked them out of the transwarp, based on residual plasma residue and tachyon particles on the vessel's outer hull. The crew being too far away to contact Starfleet, they decided to investigate the Cube, as it would seem to be deactivated and they did have formidable weapons power. However, they would overestimate themselves, vice versa of the Borg. A mistake someone should not make lightly.

As the Berlin approached the Borg Cube, they dropped out of warp a couple thousand kilometers away from the Cube, just to be on the side of caution. Not seeing anything suspicious on sensors for the moment, and it seemed that there were no survivors, they decided to move in closer for better scan, and possibly even to beam a part aboard to steal some technology. But they would be gravely mistaken. As they began to move in closer, they had just moved into tractor range, and a Borg tractor beam locked onto the saucer section, holding the ship in it’s tight, menacing grip.

The Captain immediately ordered the helm to engage full reverse impulse engines, in hopes that the force would be enough to break them free of the tractor beam. However the young Captain had been so distressed over the situation, he did not think of the possibility that it could tear the ships appart. And indeed it in-fact did. Due to the immense stresses created by the back-force of the reverse impulse engines, the ship’s forward saucer section and the top weapons module had been ripped right off the ship.

Oadel had been in Astrometrics, completely unaware of the dangers as all he heard was the red alert klaxon. Then feeling an immense jolt, he fell to the floor. After a moment of getting his bearings, he stood up to see… Space. The entire ship in front of astrometrics had been ripped off and obliterated, luckily there being a forcefield. If he had been standing several feet closer to the front of the room… He would have been killed. A moment later, he hears a sound. But before he can turn around, he feels this agonizing pain right in his neck, like needles were being driven into him. After seeing what looked like the green particle stream of a transporter, he became parilized.

### Assimilation

Oadel was taken to a Borg assimilation chamber after he was injected with nanoprobes, helpless to stop what was happening to him as he became immobilized, but still aware and conscious. The Borg first removed his left eye and replaced it with an ocular implant. Giving him superior vision, yet the costs would be greater than the benefits. Afterwards, surgically implementing several more implants into his body.

He had been awake and aware of the entire process, feeling the worst pain that he has, and will ever feel. But at the same time, it could not compare to some of the mental pain of losing his mother years ago. After hours of surgical procedures, mutilating his once attractive body, he was placed in a Borg Alcove. Given the designation ‘Four of Fifteen, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 02’ and assigned as a tactical drone with implanted disruptors into his right arm.

During his time in the Borg collective, Four had been to every end of the Galaxy, ‘exploring’ places he had always wanted to go and never could have imagined when he was an individual. But had no sense of Humanity, and could not enjoy it. Four had spent most of their time in the Delta Quadrant in the Borg unicomplex. He had actually been the Seven of Nine of his group, the leader. And was one of the Borg Queens ‘favorites’, meeting them on several menacing occasions.

During their time in the collective, Four had participated in the assimilation of thousands of lives, and the death of millions of others. Their primary function was to be a tactical drone. Not to assimilate, but to kill and destroy. This would be something he deeply regrets to this day. And can’t stand just thinking it was not his fault, he was in control of his actions.

Four of Fifteen would be a prisoner of the Borg Collective for over seven years. Despite all of the horrible occurrences, there was hope for him yet at the end of the tunnel. In the year 2384, Four had been assigned onto Borg Sphere 819 to participate in a scouting mission of the United Federation of Planets borders.

The irony of this would be that the sphere had been caught in the same class type of plasma storm that disabled the first cube Four was on, and what had changed his entire life, forever. The sphere was quickly damaged by the storm, major systems either damaged or destroyed. They would have to crash land onto the nearest planet, which was a Minshara Class, not that it mattered though, as Borg could survive in most atmospheres.

Most of the Borg drones on board the sphere had been killed, as this crash landing quickly turned into a ‘bowling ball’ situation, where the sphere ‘rolled’ for several kilometers before finally coming to screeching halt in the terra firma. Only Four of Fifteen and four other Borg drones had survived, out of the 1,183 lifeforms aboard. After several days of surviving off what they could manage, based on their ‘programming’ they could only do so much in a survival situation, Four passed out.

### Liberation

Although despite these dire odds, Four would continue to live on to become Oadel Akastren once more. Very lucky for him and the other drones, Seven of Nine, The U.S.S. Voyager’s Emergency Medical Holographic Program, and several other Starfleet scientists were on their way after Starfleet caught word of a crashed Borg sphere. After finding Four six days after he had passed out, luckily just barely alive from his Borg physiology, they rescue him and the rest of the drones. Taking them back to Earth for liberation.

After several weeks of several surgical procedures done by The EMH, Seven of Nine, and several other Starfleet doctors, Oadel and the rest of the drones had become individuals once again. They would all need to wear dermaplastic garments to help their skin layers properly regenerate back to their original forms. Seven of Nine purposefully made each of them choose what type and colour they wanted, so that they would learn how to make individual decisions themselves. Oadel chose one of his favorite colours, purple.

After being liberated from the Borg, Oadel had come to a crossroad. Would he start a new life as a new person, or take back his old one as Oadel Akastren. He decided on the latter. After several months of re-learning about Human and Betazoid society, he made the decision to join Starfleet again. However, he would have to retake all of the classes and courses he had before. But he wanted his old life back now. So he enlisted into Starfleet as a Second Class Petty Officer, Starfleet acknowledging his previous experience to give him this rank.

### The Archangel and Arcadia

One and half years after he had been liberated, there was the perfect role just waiting for Oadel on the starship U.S.S. Archangel NCC-, a Defiant Class vessel. Which was then destroyed, crew and mission transferred to the U.S.S. Arcadia NCC-85311, a Saber Class vessel, that had the mission of tracking down Borg in the Alpha Quadrant. This was perfect for Oadel, as he had been an expert in Borg technology, being a drone himself just one year prior, and he felt this urge inside of him to bring the Borg to justice. Something he would not share with anyone for several months.

When Oadel first came onboard the Arcadia, he was very un-sociable and quite rude. But this had been all he knew, nothing about how to be polite or make new friends. However, this would not last very long. Over the course of just several months, Oadel had gained back almost all of his humanity, developed friendships with the crew, and began his first relationship. This crew had become his family, the only people he knew that really cared about him. This was him. He found who he truly was.

One of the biggest noticeable differences in Oadel compared to him before he was assimilated by the Borg, besides his insolent attitude, was that his telepathic and empathic powers had been greatly reduced to almost non-existent. However, during one of Arcadia's missions, the crew came across a planet that had the abilities to heal any wounds, physically and mentally. This planet was able to heal his mental powers and restore them. But, he would not have any recollection on how to control them. With the help of many of the telepathic crew members, he was able to learn, and by his current age has mastered them.

As mentioned before, Oadel had begun his first relationship in his entire life. He started to fall in love with the very attractive Chief Engineer on board the Arcadia, Anton Cayde. Who was even an ex-Borg himself, just like he was. But had been out of the collective for much longer. He first felt this when the man had saved his life during an incident with the omnipotent being who called himself ‘Q’. Which further developed into a passionate, long lasting relationship.

## Trivia

One of Oadel’s greatest strengths and weaknesses, comes from his empathy. Not just his Betazoid ability to physically sense others emotions, but his ability to understand others emotions through actions or speaking. Oadel is a very counselling person, he loves to help others with their feelings and emotions. He cannot stand to see other people in emotional or physical pain. He will always do whatever he can to help people when he sees they are upset or angry.

But this can also cause issues with Oadel’s judgment. Because of his strong ability to perceive and want to help others' emotions, he can be blinded or have the wool pulled over his eyes by others. People can easily make him feel bad, even when it is something he knows he shouldn’t feel bad for. But he just can’t help it. He always does his best to put others before him. Even if at times he doesn’t do it.

Another of Oadel’s greatest weaknesses has been something that he has dealt with all of his life, and still does to this day. That is his fear of losing a loved one, anyone from his family ships or his husband. If he were to lose these people, he would quickly fall into a deep depression, and may spiral down a rabbit hole of dread. This fear stems from when he was a child. His mother, the closest person to him in his entire world, had been killed by romulans. This is also a reason he does not like romulans, at all.

But stepping out of the darkness and into the light, Oadel has many strengths over his weaknesses. His first one being, well. His strength. Because he had been a Borg drone, he has many implants on his body. Some of these implants give him superior strength. Giving him the ability to lift 2,096 pounds above his head with much focus and pain. If he really pushes himself to the absolute limit, he can lift 2,200 pounds above his head. But this would cause him much pain, and could tear his muscles and tendons.

Another of his strengths being his mental abilities. Besides having advanced telepathy and empathy from training his half Betazoid mind over the years, he also has great academic prowess, and a photographic memory. Specializing in the sciences, he is able to easily look at mathematics and data. In fact he enjoys challenging his mind, always wanting to learn more. His photographic memory was a gift, but enhanced from being a Borg drone.

Despite Oadel being only a half Betazoid, and having more Human genetics than the former, he has very powerful mental abilities. It took him many years to master these abilities, and still at times, he will have trouble with it. But was taught how to control, and use it appropriately.

Oadel has always had a fascination with music and musical instruments, especially the piano and acoustic guitar. This led him to begin to learn how to play these instruments, with the help of his husband. And now is a professional pianist.

One of Oadel’s favorite things during his freetime is to study astrometric charts. He loves to be able to watch space and to perceive the great beauty of it. His favourite astrometric phenomenon is emission and supernova-remnant nebulae, as well as class M and Y planetoids.

Another of his fascinations, is with animals. Oadel adores any type of animals, especially cats and red foxes. As he does have a pet cat that he loves to bring everywhere with him. Also being fascinated with the creation of life, believing that life is a gift and should not be wasted.

Oadel being of French Canadian descent, as well as Betazoid, he can speak multiple languages without the use of a universal translator. He can speak English, French, Betazoid, and a small amount of Vulcan that he took during his time at the Academy.

Because of Oadel’s French Canadian descent, he used to have a very heavy French accent when he was a child, before he had been assimilated. After he had been de-assimilated, he lost his accent. However, it has slowly come back over time, and he now has a slight French accent, almost having a British or Australian-like sound to it.

### Likes

Oadel likes to spend his free time mostly in the ship's stellar cartography laboratory. He enjoys viewing the thousands of different types of stellar phenomena. A lot of the time he will just watch the visual sensors as the ship moves through warp or impulse, viewing all of the stars, planets, nebulas, and any other stellar objects that they pass during their travels.

As said in his trivia, Oadel has a great passion for the musical arts. He loves musical instruments, especially the piano and acoustic guitar. Over the years he learned how to play the piano, becoming a professional pianist, and will play the acoustic guitar every once and while with the assistance of his husband, the expert guitarist.

One of Oadel’s other likes is nature. He loves botany, but does not really have too much time to indulge in the subject. His favorite type of flora being rosa rubrifolia, red roses, from his home planet of Earth. It also adds on to his fascination with the creation of life and planets. How a giant rock in space can come to develop plants, trees, animals. And how eventually, small microscopic organisms evolve into sentient beings with higher brain power then the average animal.

Although at the same time, Oadel accepts, and might even believe, that people come from some type of Gods. He does have a sense of spirituality, and is beginning to explore it more as his Humanity begins to reassert itself.

Oadel loves to be able to help anyone who is in need of emotional help. Being a half Betazoid, he is able to understand people's emotions very well, as well as able to sense them directly through his mind.

One of the main reasons he chose to go back to Starfleet was that he feels the desire to explore. He wants to know what the universe has and what awaits him beyond his home planet.

Throughout his journey of regaining his Humanity, Oadel has tried many, to him, new foods. His favorite types of foods are breakfast and sweets, especially bagels with cream cheese, and caramel covered chocolate ice cream. As well as a lot of the time having a cup of his favourite drink, hot black coffee, as he lays on the couch with his husband, looking out unto the totality of stars.

Oadel is Homosexual. As a result, he is heavily attracted to men. Especially lean, muscular men. But will always be attracted towards personality, not just looks.

### Dislikes

One of Oadel’s most considerable dislikes is the Borg collective. He had been assimilated into the Borg collective at the age of 20, when he was just starting his adult life and had finished his Academy years. When he encounters a Borg, he will become overwhelmed with emotions of extreme sadness and boiling anger.

If he is in a combat situation with a drone, he will most likely not be able to control his anger and go on a rampage on it. If he is in a situation where he is being pursued by one, he will most likely let in to his fear, curling into a ball and crying. Even at times depending on the situation, he will not show his emotions and be cold, even towards those he would normally not be.
However, if someone close to him, or anyone for that matter, is being threatened by the Borg, he will do whatever is necessary to stop the collective or drones, and to protect his companions.

Another one of his greatest dislikes, as well as his most considerable fear, is losing someone who is close to him. This will cause even more sorrow to emerge from within him than the Borg. If he were to lose someone very close to him, he would shut down for a very long time.

Another dislike of his, is strong alcohol. Oadel does not really drink, but will on occasion for simple fun. He is a big believer that you should drink responsibly, and will always do so. This is caused by two things. He had been emotionally and mentally abused by his father growing up, because he was a heavy drinker. As well as, his husband used to have a drinking problem, and one time he made his husband so upset, he drank a whole bottle of it.
