Backstory/Timeline

Ikaia Wong doesn’t know his bio parents and never grew up in a Klingon family or surrounded by Klingon culture. Instead he was adopted by the Wongs, his human family. The middle child of three children, Ikaia grew up surrounded by a loving family in Honolulu. He was a quiet and curious child who was interested in the world around him and why it was the way it was. He often liked exploring Hawaii’s many beaches or visiting his Aunt Niko’s alpaca farm on Moloka’i where he would eventually work during the summers in his teens. Eventually, he would follow his mother, a doctor and lifelong influence, into Starfleet to pursue medicine.

One of Ikaia’s side projects he worked on while at the Starfleet Academy is his own emergency medical hologram. He was inspired by the work his father did in the field of programming. Although the hologram is more of an extracurricular hobby, Ikaia is proud of his work. However, he says it’s still glitchy and tends to “get a bit weird if you leave it on for too long” according to him.

Currently, he is serving on board the USS Veritas managing the Sickbay and is actively working towards becoming CMO for his ship.

1. 239711.02: Placed aboard USS Veritas.
2. 239804.01: Promoted to Lieutenant JG on the USS Veritas.

Personality

Ikaia is generally a friendly, polite and affable sort of person who cares deeply for those around him and under his care. He is a driven individual who is willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect a patient. Although, Ikaia does have a nervous streak to him.

Hobbies

Swimming, hula, origami, programming, making music, tai chi, yoga, reading, surfing

Quirks and trivia

• Has a preference for seafood
• When he was 5, he accidentally dropped a knife on his little toe while playing in his dad's kitchen which severed the toe. It was, however, reattached. Ikaia has never regained full flexibility of his toe. There is a scar around the circumference of that toe.
• Tends to get motion sick. Had a love-hate relationship with roller coasters growing up. Smaller space craft have a tendency to make him space sick.
• Can speak fluent English, Hawaiian, Japanese and Chinese. Ironically, he cannot speak Klingon.
• While he never swore in English at his time in the Academy, he did get around the language policy by swearing in Hawaiian for the rare times that he did swear. He got away with this for two years and three months until someone actually translated what was being said.
• Ikaia's hologram looks like an idealized version of himself. It also sports a very fantastic full Klingon goatee! It's one of the hologram's most impressive visual features.
• In high school, Ikaia had a part-time job as a lifeguard on one of Oahu's beaches. During the summers, he worked on Moloka'i on his aunt's alpaca farm.
• He really does have a mug that says "Galaxy's Okayest Klingon." He also has a shirt as part of his sleepwear that says "I fix stupid."
• When Ikaia was 2 years old, he learned the hard way how fragile humans are in comparison to him when fellow classmate, Timmy Winters, took away one of Ikaia's toys. He body checked Timmy into a wall when shouting at him didn't work. Timmy walked out of the situation with two broken ribs and a fractured arm. However, in elementary school, they did eventually become friends. He has remained friends with Tim Winters to this very day.
• Two major things Ikaia brought on the Veritas with him is a very well cared for aloe plant and a keytar.
• Ikaia and his siblings once tried to form a band called "The Long Wong Silvers." His sister was the guitarist, Ikaia handled keyboards, and his brother was the drummer. It did not go well when it was decided his brother would be the lead singer.
• Ikaia owns a pair of alpaca wool socks that was given to him by his aunt. They're his LUCKY alpaca wool socks.
• In his time at the Academy, he was attacked by a tribble programmed into a simulation as a prank. He did not find it hilarious.
• During his time at Aunt Niko's alpaca farm, Ikaia has raised a few of the animals himself including an alpaca he named "Lolipop." (He picked the name.) One of his pairs of alpaca wool socks is made from her wool!
• If you asked him what his favourite sweet thing is, it's cinnamon chocolate and chocolate hazelnut spread. He'll eat it DIRECTLY from the jar.
• Usually, he drinks one or two cups of coffee in a day. You know he's tired if he's having two cups in the morning. Usually, it's two cups these days. It has resulted in an increased caffeine tolerance.
• One of his favourite foods as a child is something he liked to call "The Dancing Squid." It's actually known as Katsu ika odori-don. Not only did it taste good, the dancing made him smile!
• He has his own social media accounts where he makes videos about health advice, positivity, funny or something really light hearted.
• Ikaia has very soft and silky hair. If you're really nice to him and he's in a very good mood, he may let you braid it. Just please use clean hands! His sister, Alanna, used to play with his hair or braid it for him when he was growing up.
• He's terrible at lying under pressure. Instead of the lie collapsing upon itself, the lie just happens to get bigger and far more elaborate as time goes on. The issue comes from his need to fill in the dead air in the middle of these situations and he starts to babble. In general, Ikaia hates lying.
• Ikaia is demisexual. The gender of a potential partner doesn't matter. However, their mind and personality does. He enjoys being romantic!
• Ikaia's room number on the Veritas is 03-1122.
• He also HATES taking sick days. Especially on conditions he knows he isn't contagious. He always wants to be helpful in any way he can. This, of course, makes him a terrible patient.
• Tends to use the word "actually" a lot. It so much so his verbal tic that Kallo Ver has made it his nickname.
• Has been known to write fanfiction. But he's super embarrassed about it. He usually won't let you read it.
• Ikaia has two favourite foods he likes to eat when he's sick - rice porridge is one of his usual go-to meals. The other came from his time around Vulcans at the Starfleet Medical Academy - plomeek soup. He finds it easier on his stomachs when he's sick.
• When Ikaia was young, he was once told by his sister, Alanna, that you had to sing in order to get the sonic shower to work. He literally believed this for the longest time.
• He HATES decaf, wasabi and cilantro. He prefers his coffee black most of the time.

Holokaia

• Name: "Holokaia" Project Hippocrates
• Program Type: Experimental EMH
• Current Build: Version 1.379 (Kanaloa Build) Revision 4170

Holokaia is the emergency medical hologram that Ikaia is currently working on. He has worked on this for four years as a side project which he has built himself from the ground up. His father, a programmer, is quite proud of Ikaia's work so far as it is a very ambitious project.

One of Holokaia's most recent field tests had him engaging in diplomacy with an alien AI. Thanks to his ability to accept new libraries into his programming, he has proven to be adaptable and flexible. Machine learning has also made this adaptation and flexibility easier. Recent updates to Holokaia's program in order to make him more stable were created an implemented as a team effort by Scotty Reade and Ikaia.

Ribbons, Achievements and Awards

Awards and Service Ribbons

Award Name Date/Assignment Citation Vega Award 239806.27 USS Veritas Awarded to those who bring the worlds of their crews to life with art, videos, and all kinds of artistic endeavours. Presented by Roshanara Rahman Thanks to Ikaia Wong, I now know what Rahman, Blake, and other members of the crew look like in animated form, “Lower Decks” style! S4RK, the writer for Wong, is a talented artist, and the fleet is lucky to have him as part of the Image Collective, the team tasked with fulfilling avatar requests and providing other graphics to bring characters, locations, and missions/events that are simmed to life. As one of his fellow Image Collective team members wrote in their nomination for him, “I keep seeing the work that Ikaia puts out, their drawings, artwork, avatars and species images are just brilliant. Their art style is wonderful and loved by many in the fleet and is definitely an enrichment to the game!” Here on Veritas, S4RK’s art and videos are often whimsical and help boost the crew’s morale. One of his fellow shipmates wrote that he “is an amazing artist who is always eager to share his talents with the crew for the fun and amusement of all. I absolutely love what he shares with us.” They then cited these two videos as evidence (exhibit A° and exhibit B•) and concluded, “I don't need to say much more.” I agree. For all the wonderful art and videos you’ve given us since you joined our crew, thank you, S4RK. It is my pleasure to award you the inaugural Vega Award for this crew! Scotty Cross 239806.27 USS Veritas Given to an officer who shows extreme creativity while solving a plot dilemma or in-character plot twist. Presented by Sky Blake One of the defining skills of simming is "yes, and.” Ikaia Wong's writer S4RK has tonnes of it to give. Their nominators gave mention to many plot twists or instances of creativity. From riding a bike to distract two vicious tigers from attacking the crew and citizens of Donova IV (the event recited most often by nominators) to using holograms to clone someone, preventing their capture by Klingon boarding parties, S4RK has never ceased to surprise and delight us all with what he comes up with. These inventive scenarios take the best S4RK has to offer, maintaining a creative compromise with situations presented by his fellow simmers, and resulting in some of the most memorable moments in recent Veritas history. Congratulations, S4RK, on earning this year’s Scotty Cross!
