Name:  Alassca<br/><br/>Age:  uncertain; probably close to ninety, only forty as a sentient, and twenty five in a humanoid form.<br/><br/>Race:  Shape-shifter (Founder).  In human form resembles a Deltan<br/><br/>Gender:  current humanoid form as a female, but easily changeable.<br/><br/>Position:  Head of Intelligence<br/><br/>Description:  as humanoid hair is one of the trickiest things to copy, she prefers the hairless look typical of Deltans.  Curvy but slim in the limbs and neck.<br/><br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/kjv31/7782/PersisKhambatta.jpg)<br/><br/>Background:  Was discovered about forty years ago by Deltan research ship on an airless moon of a gas giant in a system near the edge of Gamma Quadrant.  It was in the form of a mass of dilithium chrystals, which the crew attempted to mine when it turned gelatinous before their eyes.  They recovered the mass and returned it to the Deltan Science Ministry for study.<br/><br/>Almost immediately, it began to form copies of the things it came in contact with.  The Deltan scientists began to use objects as a crude form of communication, seeing what it could or would copy for them.  Inanimate objects led to simple life forms, like lichen or plankton, then gradually more advanced forms; slugs, toadstools, snakes, insects...  There were several accidents, as it became clear that the gel would copy small creatures in a much larger size.  They eventually calculated that the creature could only increase it's gelatinous volume by 50 percent, or reduce it by half, thus limiting how large or how small it could copy other forms.  It also was limited in how long it could maintain a form:  A single form could last twenty-seven hours, then requiring a three hour rest in gelatinous state.  Rechanging form once during it's "day" lengthened it's resting period by another hour, and each change continued to hasten its fatigue and lengthen its resting time.  The incredible tensile strength and flexibility of the gel form was transferred into its other forms, giving it significant power and speed when needed.<br/><br/>The creature seemed to have the full intelligence of copied higher order animals, such as the Deltan equivalents of dogs and other "pets".  When the creature finally assumed the form of a humanoid, copying the Deltans, it seemed to have full ability to produce vocal sounds, and showing other signs of intelligence.  Although the form was adult, the shape-shifter had to be taught as if an infant.  Its learning abilities, however, were astounding.  Within eight years, it had learned the equivalent of Deltan high school along with its culture.  It was particularly adept at solving riddles, seeking true answers from enigmatic data, and probing humanoid and alien behavior for hidden agendas and motivations.<br/><br/>This led Alassca, as "she" now named herself, into investigative work and analysis.  She could reveal nothing of her origins or her travel to the place she was found.  While her study of history informed her of the prior "Founder threat", she had no memory of or association with the Founders.  After a thorough vetting process, she was accepted into Star Fleet, surviving and excelling at the Academy and taking posts in Intelligence Analysis on two Star Bases before being assigned to the USS Kinkiness as Intelligence Officer.<br/><br/>Sexual info:  Alassca was "raised" by the Deltans, a very sensuous race, learning about the importance to most humanoids of pleasure, but the wide variety of practices and desires is still a subject she is very interested to learn more about.  She can copy and assume the physiology of almost any races she has studied or will come in contact with, male or female, with full sexual function and response.  Otherwise, she may often demonstrate a curious combination of blatant curiosity and willingness to explore customs and practices, with a bit of naivete in regard to more extreme behaviors; i.e., BDSM, forced seduction, rape, etc.<br/><br/>I am still working on my O & O's, but I'm open to most anything except scat, children, and violent SM.<br/><br/>Talents:  While keenly observant of humanoid and alien behavior, she does not have paranormal mental abilities.
