{{Heading|Background|Gold}} | |||
Born in Harbortown, in a quad consisting of three Andorians and an Aenar, Akeen's budding years were spent as a child of the metropolis, his naturally-blind zhavey the only constant parental presence in his life, given the nature of the others' professions. Shunned from early on by part of his peers due to his visible Aenar heritage, the boy quickly learned how to defend himself when things got physical, as well as picking up the importance of ingratiating himself to authority figures and older, stronger people willing to lend him a hand. He found solace in the ever-present music he found at home and the noble art of tinkering, which he explored with rare gusto whenever his duties at school allowed it. | |||
Not long after he was deemed genetically unfit for shelthreth, disaster struck his family when his thavan, who had been serving as First Officer on an Andorian Defense Force battlecruiser, was honorably discharged from service after losing his left arm to a Nausicaan disruptor while repelling boarders on a freighter they had been escorting. Not allowing such 'trifling' matters to put either of them down, Thanashal quickly enlisted in the Andorian Merchant Marine and, upon receiving his first command, took his thei with him to the stars, where they were quickly joined by the young thaan's shreya, who took the first opportunity to put in a transfer request. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Akeen, whom they ended up treating much like one of their engineers after he had properly learned his way around the ship's systems, would walk the same path as his progenitor and go to the Academy to pursue his studies further - and so it came to pass that he returned to Andoria when the time was right, He had a decent head start, because Thanashal had armed both his freighter and his crew to the teeth with great haste, giving it a greater degree of autonomy; while the prime objective had been repelling threats on their own, this also allowed him to pursue several forays into the grey market, managing to stay away from truly dangerous and 'hot' cargo, but hardly considering themselves above carrying various small items of luxury or even scavenging the pirate vessels they unavoidably came across. As a consequence, his offspring managed to acquire real-world knowledge about his field of choice, along with some amount of foreign languages and this and that in matters of trade and subterfuge. | |||
Dedicating himself to his studies with a ravenous passion which was also fueled by the need to avoid confronting the people who wanted a go at him for being a 'fade', an insulting term reserved for Andorians with Aenar blood, among other things, for almost three years, Akeen finally cracked when one of his classmates openly insulted the albino race in class, using him and his zhavey as examples. He challenged the chan to the Ushaan and ended the confrontation quickly by hamstringing his opponent with a risky move he had picked up from an Yridian smuggler; having practically dived into the beginning of a slash to reach his adversary's legs, his throat wasn't opened, but his cheek was - and he still bears the scar from that duel with pride. No disciplinary action was taken against either of them, since they had both conformed to tradition and nothing more came out of it, but he chose to leave at the end of the term and apply at Starfleet Academy instead, starting his studies from scratch without a second thought; a blank slate among (mainly) aliens seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. | |||
Academically, the thaan has opted to major in Engineering, with a focus on Propulsion Systems and Components Engineering, but not forgetting matters such as the Regulation of Chemicals, Radiation, and Biotechnology, with which he already had a little practical experience as well. His minor of choice, Navigation, is a consequence of the fact that he feels most at home at the helm when not working outside main engineering or inside a Jefferies tube, but he is the first to state his limitations as a pilot; compared to his primary specialization, he has little natural inclination toward maneuvering a starship. | |||
While off-duty, most of Akeen's informal interactions with the student body have been in the form of tutoring or lending a helping hand with something that needed to be fixed more quickly than the staff would have been able to see to, his glacial exterior not being particularly conducive to small talk or gossip. He might or might not have stayed in touch with some of the acquaintances he has made during the time spent on his thavan's vessel, which could have helped an informal network said to be run by a Ferengi and a Grazerite with the purpose of bringing fellow cadets a slice of home in a system that involved bartering nearly as much as physical resources (201 slips are worth more than two strips and a friend in need can't be bought with latinum, as some were rumored to say), but the existence of such a network was never officially proven. He has also definitely not participated in a childish prank that involved the LCARS system in a shuttlecraft playing a tune identified as 'Itchy Fingers' when its Scottish pilot activated it; a programmer he is not, one doesn't necessarily have to have perfect pitch to get just the right audio sequences and, besides, a number of cadets whom nobody could suspect of being close to him could attest that he was elsewhere throughout the time when that deed could have been done. Had he been involved in such activities, perhaps a counselor could have identified the kind heart and mischievous mind hiding behind his severe exterior, his creativity... or maybe even his desperate need to fit in, for a change, aside from his far more obvious bookworm and workaholic tendencies. Someone might have, but, if they did, they never told him. Akeen has also been seem with some frequency in the gym, practicing mixed martial arts, and has participated in every Academy Marathon available during his stay in San Francisco, usually finishing somewhere within the first third. | |||
