After hir species was contacted and a Federation Embassy established, Shayhiloosh was chosen by the [[Arborians|Arborian]] elders to go out and gain experience within the context of the Federation, to encourage understanding and gain perspective on other species. Enrolling in Starfleet seemed the most obvious way to learn and gain experience with other cultures, and to explore and see what else was in the universe. | ||

[[Arborians]] need rich loamy soil with plenty of mineral content. They ‘eat’ through the root tips on their ‘feet’, which can open or close via large pores. Without adequate species-appropriate nourishment, they may potentially suffer from a variety of health problems, including leaf wilt, leaf loss, swelling of joints, general withering of the body, and loss of vision. They require a few hours of exposure to UV rays in which to rest, root, eat, and conduct photosynthesis each day. Natural sunlight is preferable, but ship-generated UV rays suffice under normal conditions. A horticultural or botanical area would be perfect quarters for an Arborian. | [[Arborians]] need rich loamy soil with plenty of mineral content.

The first day of Shayhiloosh’s first assignment was a major catastrophe. The USS Boudicca, to which s/he had been assigned, was attacked and boarded by enemy marines from the USS Exeter. Shayhiloosh attempted to protect hirself and hir collogues in sickbay, only to discover belatedly that these Marines were provided with “superman” BDU body armor. S/he was severely injured in the attempt, and was subsequently deposited on Starbase Geneva to receive care. When hir condition was assessed, s/he was sent to Cait to recover, due to the excellent quality of medical care available there, and the need for a naturally sunlit environment in which to heal. | The first day of Shayhiloosh’s first assignment was a major catastrophe.

S/he was severely injured in the attempt, and was subsequently deposited on Starbase Geneva to receive care. When hir condition was assessed, s/he was sent to [[Cait]]/[[Ferasa]] to recover, due to the excellent quality of medical care available there, and the need for a naturally sunlit environment in which to heal. | ||
While in recovery from hir service on the [[USS Boudicca]] on the planet Ferasa, homeworld of the Caitian species, Shayhiloosh was illegally cloned by a secret facility underneath a large famous hospital. This was done without hir consent or knowledge. Shayhiloosh discovered the clone during rescue operations of victims that were being illegally experimented on and detained against their will in the secret facility. Shayhiloosh could not abandon the clone and took it with hir back to the [[USS Hades]]. | |||
The Arborian clone may have been modified, but exactly what those modifications may have entailed is unknown. The offspring would have dies in struggling to Awaken, but Shayhiloosh brought it to Geneva and an Arborian nurse was summoned to monitor it's development and growth, both prior and during its Awakening. After the Civil War ended, Shayhiloosh was grateful to be part of hir Child's Awakening experience on Geneva. Once the Child Shureshlee was ready and strong enough to travel, the two Arborians were transferred back to the Hades. | |||
Shureshlee's mental growth has been abnormally fast and the Child shows genius level intelligence. Shayhiloosh has been concerned that this may lead to something bad but so far Shureshlee's health is very good and the Offspring has so far made Shayhiloosh swell with pride. | |||

'''Special Traits:''' When at rest, usually for at least a few hours each daylight cycle when [[Arborians]] are able to conduct photosynthesis, they share a type of group telepathy. [[Arborians]] are able to access something they refer to as the Dreamplane. For the uninitiated, the Dreamplane can be a dangerous place as besides mirroring whatever happens in reality, it can manifest people’s sorrow, fear, joy, and anger. | '''Special Traits:''' When at rest, usually for at least a few hours each daylight cycle when [[Arborians]] are able to conduct photosynthesis, they share a type of group telepathy.

Upset that the hostile Marines had hit one of the doctors hard enough to send her flying across the room, Shayhiloosh had been reluctant to obtain much care, hir concern for the bloodied doctor who was being threatened outweighing concern for hirself, but the grave extent of hir injuries soon gave hir little choice. | Upset that the hostile Marines had hit one of the doctors hard enough to send her flying across the room, Shayhiloosh had been reluctant to obtain much care, hir concern for the bloodied doctor who was being threatened outweighing concern for hirself, but the grave extent of hir injuries soon gave hir little choice. S/he had lost a lot of ichor and was having difficulty remaining alert due to the throbbing agony from hir many wounds.

An odd thing occurred. Shayhiloosh, already unsteady, brushed against the stone with some of hir roots. S/he froze in astonishment as the rock like shape opened to show a room with a brown haired human female holding the hand of a tiny youngling. Startled, the Arborian pulled away.

Feel free to look around the site at http://www.StarTrekFreedom.com and sign up if you'd like to get involved. From there you go to the Academy where you have the chance to hone your skills and understand how to post your character's replies. After graduation you are assigned to a ship and can expect more email from all of the player characters aboard your ship, usually about eight to twelve people. No dice or stats are involved. To stay in the game you must post a minimum of twice per week. You tell a narrative story from your character's point of view and contribute your small part to a larger ongoing storyline. You are expected to stick to your character's description once you have your bio for him/her/it filled out, but can add to it and create your own Wikipedia file on yourself the player and the character you portray. | |||
