| | '''Alana Culemerwin Devar''', otherwise known as ''Alana, the Divine Lady of Peace and Protection'' or ''Lieutenant Commander Devar'' is a woman who seems to be involved in a perpetual cycle of emotions, duty, life and wisdom. After the birth of her three children, however, Alana has progressively transitioned from an emotional woman to one of tremendous strength, self-control and integrity. The Daughter of the 13th House of Betazed is the current Head of House, as deemed in an inauguration ceremony in mid-2384. This ceremony followed within the two week event of her cousin's marriage into the Second House of Betazed. She is currently a Federation Ambassador, and former crewmember of the [[USS Independence]] (holding such positions as Second Officer, Counselor, CMO, CSO, etc.) and [[USS Wallace]] (as First Officer). |

| ==Family History==
| |
| | |
| *'''Devyn Devar:''' Husband of Arianna Sarrin-Devar and father to Alana and her three siblings (including half sister, Carmen Rogers). He was the son of 13th House Female Heiress, Katiya Devar who married a Betazoid artisan by the name of Sorin Gavel (he, of course, took her surname). Devyn grew up in a household with one sister by the name of Raina, who of course if the mother of Sumein. A delegate and Ambassador of the UFOP, Devyn became an influential figure for male Betazoids and fellow delegates alike. Even though he *did* have an affair on Arianna with Wilma (Carmen's mother), Devyn dearly loved his family. He was known for his passion on the written word and how his speeches rolled from his mouth with such fire and passion. It was from this commitment and dedication did Devyn become one of the most notable figures of StarFleet. However, the man's life was cut short by negotiations held near the Nuetral Zone. Revelations in the Mirror Universe led Alana to the real reason of her father's death -- he was imprisoned and murdered by the Mirror Alliance members.
| |
| | |
| *'''Arianna Sarrin-Devar:''' Arianna was the daughter of a Karawati Priestess and Betazoid nobleman, but did not belong to any distinguished House, therefore, when she married Devyn she took his surname and hyphenated it to her maiden. Arianna inherited her mother's exotic looks and the uncommon "blonde" tresses, that are a rarity amongst her people. It was told to her at a young age that Karawati deemed the blonde Betazoids the keepers of the temples, although Arianna had much more decided for her life that veered her away from the religion -- that was school, where she eventually met Devyn and became a well known Geologist. Arianna was a main stay in Alana's difficult child hood when she endured excessive treatments for her telepathy. She cried for the welfare of her young daughter, finding it hard to pick to lesser of two evils: The complete numbing effects of Vulcan training or the madness of her telepathy. She would often fix her youngest daugher Amathalea Tea to sooth her nerves. Alana named her son after Arianna's father, Keiran Sarrin.
| |
| | |
| *'''Galwyn Devar:''' Galwyn is the youngest of three children by Devyn and Arianna, and is one year younger than Alana. At the age of the attack of his father's ship and escorts, that would make the Ambassador's only son at the age of fifteen. It has come to Alana's attention during the mission that placed her face to face to the Mirror Universe that her brother ''could'' very well be still alive. Although this has yet to be proven, she still holds hope and fears what time might of done to her baby brother.
| |
| | |
| *'''Arista Devar:''' Alana's eldest sister, Arista, was the prodigy child of her parents and was enrolled in honor schools. She had just entered the University of Betazed and completed her second semester when she took the infamous trip with her parents during leave time. A bright future was in store for this aspiring Biologist and artisan. Her paintings still hang in the walls of the 13th House. There was an unspoken rivalry between Alana and Arista; Arista, Alana felt, was brighter and more beautiful than she could ever be. Even though it was confirmed of Arista's death, she is most active in Alana's dreams. It usually comes forth during a stressful event passing in the darker-haired sister's life, when she feels most helpless and inferior. Even though Arista was the mediator through the childhood conflicts of Galwyn and Alana, the two sisters loved each other even if the rivalry pursued.
| |
| | |
| *'''Sumein Devar:''' Well, here's something different: Sumein is ALIVE and is the current head of the 13th House. Currently, he is the chosen keeper of the Sceptar of Rixx, although currently the Peace Keepers are researching the heirloom's whereabouts. Shrewd and cunning, Sumein is the definition of royalty and snobbery, though Alana seems to curb some of this young boy toy's personality when she visits. Sumein is praised for his work in Betazoid History and the ethics of religious sects.
| |
| | |
| *'''Raina Devar:''' Raina is the younger sister of Devyn Devar and mother to the heir, Sumein. Raina mainly keeps to herself as an ancient philosphy researcher, who owns a shoppe in the heart of Mestara. She is currently alive and well, running the shoppe and working at the local museums. It has been said that she isn't half right in the head; being born with the abilities of telepathy and the inability to screen out empathic waves (much like a younger Alana), Raina has suffered irreversible damage to her psyche. She denies any connection to the 13th house and blames a lot of things on instances that have never happened; it has been said by some that she is a soothe seer.
| |
| | |
| *'''Carmen Rogers:''' Carmen is the half sister of Alana Devar, and has a spunkier, more zealous energy about her. Like Arista, Alana has pin-pointed qualities about Carmen that she both envies and marvels over. When she first found out Carmen was her long lost half sister from Tarin (who, consequentially, was studying the agenda for years), Alana was a bit resentful and curious as to why her father took a mistress while he was married to her mother, Arianna. However, after time and a mind-meld later, things became a bit more clearer: This was a blessing from the Goddess herself. She had a sister that was *alive*, and despite her father's adultry, this was the best gift she had for years. Once stationed on the Independence, Carmen has accepted a TOP secret unknown mission and only StarFleet Intelligence knows her location -- she is a liason of much importance.

| | |
| *'''Keiran Culemerwin Devar:''' The newborn son of Alana Devar and [[Culemerwin, Halla | Halla Culemerwin]]. He is half Trill and Betazoid. Was born on Stardate 238007.03.

| After her graduation, at the age of 19, she thought to go to Starfleet herself to make a difference...to sedate a love of traveling she's always had, and to become an official Federation Officer. She breezed through the science and counseling/psychology courses, but was poor in the Engineering department. It was where she had the assistance of her friend, Makal Kora (who serves as an Engineer on the USS VICTORY). She had a bit of trouble, socially, in the Academy... being shy around crowds, she found herself attracted to her other friend, Horne Makra. However, she found personal affairs to be frivolous and decided to not pursue intimate affairs.

| =Telepathic Prowess=
| |
| | |
| * Telepathic Rating: T4
| |
| * Empathic Rating: E6
| |
| | |
| Can connect to any telepathic being, but since she grew up with such high training and developed extreme defenses, T4 is all she will allow. She has made no mention about being able to connect to anything other than two-lobed beings (either telepathically or empathically), but does receive wild vibrations that are indecipherable from other forms. Alana owns this to the 'clicking' of her telepathic mechanism that filters stray background emotions or thoughts.
| |
| | |
| Since Alana was born with the so called 'gift' of telepathy, she is more so gifted than other natural Betazoids. However, with the efforts and training to repress some of the strength and fierce telepathic chemicals since she was a child, Alana has learned to control her abilities better as an adult.
| |
| | |
| =Vulcan Persona=
| |
| | |
| It wasn't always so hard, nor was it always so easy. The transition between both worlds was difficult enough. Alana could not have the joys of her freedom without falling into the recesses of confined training. And, as a child, the only one's who could offer such a treatment were the Vulcans -- in effect, this would numb some of her passionate Betazoid senses thus creating a conflicted teenager and young woman.
| |
| | |
| The training the young girl had to endure almost tore her family apart. Most of her childhood years were spent in the confines of facilities, in hopes and efforts that Alana would someday be able to venture into the world and live a normal life.
| |
| | |
| The reasoning of Alana's condition was also one that drove Devyn into the arms of another woman -- Wilma Rogers, Carmen Rogers' mother. Arianna was obsessed and continually depressed of her young daugher's turmoil and constant state of hospitialization. There wasn't anything they did not try...
| |
| | |
| The offer from [[Tarin]] (Devyn's best friend and Alana's later mentor in the [[Vulcan Science Academy]]) was encouraging, but also bittersweet. After a while, the growing teenager would not be able to define herself - conflicted between her Betazoid blood and [[Vulcan]] persona. Alana even practiced techniques to where she would be able to harness the telepathy and empathy, in extreme measures she had, to be negated to the point of numbness.
| |
| | |
| However, with the death of her parents, a teenage Alana became overwhelmed with emotion. This was also about the time where her genetic bondmate, Savek, snubbed her for a life of 'Logic.' Becoming cold once more, and into a state of confusion, she retreated to a vortex of ice that sent her to Starfleet.
| |
| | |
|
| |
| | |
| It seemed to be a perpetual cycle that led the woman into a whirlwind of wavering personas.
| |
| | |
|
| |
| | |
|
| |
| | |
| The Vulcans dimmed emotions because they were so passionate they had to. They were not emotionless, and that is where Alana made her mistakes.
| |
| | |
| =Other Information=
| |
| | |
| *'''Habits (Good, Bad or Otherwise):''' Is a chocoholic and tends to babble a lot about melodramatic details of life, love and otherwise. Alana is also known to bit her lower lip, twirl hair around her finger while she's in thought, and think idealistically. Though her intentions are always good natured, she can appear to be stoic at times.
| |
| | |
| *'''Mannerism:''' Graceful, well spoken and opinionated.
| |
| | |
| *'''Hobbies:''' Reading, Yoga, Vulcan martial arts, painting, hanging out with friends, writing, her religion. | |
| | |
| *'''Spirituality:''' [http://www.geocities.com/devarfamily/religion.html Karawati]
| |
| | |
| ==Note(s)==
| |
| | |
| She is fluent in Klingon, Vulcan, Betazoid and Terran (Latin, Hebrew, English, Italian, Greek, Korean, Catonese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and French), though it is apparent that her key languages are the Vulcan and Betazoid simply because of her exotic tone. Alana expresses an interest in pursuing knowledge in a wide variety of civilizations and other key languages. Vegetarian, but a sugar-freak and chocoholic, the woman also has an affinity for uttaberry crepes. As a member of the sacred 13th house, she is a possible future holder of the Sacred Book and Scepter of Betazed. Alana is well-spoken, graceful, mild-mannered and collected and tries to advocate decisions that are dear and poignant to her. Suffers a mild deformality case in her telepathic mechanism in the paracortex section of her brain as a result from the first contact scenario with the Serpentai, though this does not completely hamper her abilities or the capability to screen. Is a firm believer and practitioner of her faith, Karawati. Has small tatoos along certain areas of her body that connects her to the Betazoid faith.
