[Tethra]

Name: Tethra Shoeny
Gender: Male
Age: 324
Rank: (yet to be determined)
Species: Minervan
Home planet: Minerva
Mentor: Omigos Shoeny
Pupils: 1240 ranging from conceived state to 623 years of age

Weight: 120bs

Appearance: Tall and thin, body consisting of Amphibious scales, skin complexion a slight green overtone, Eyes large and black, a large extendable fin on his upper back as well as fins on his arms and legs.

Abilities of his species: Able to swim at high speeds, able to breathe carbon dioxide underwater through special gills, able to absorb more information than Humans due to their massive life spans though information intake tends to be somewhat slower, also having the ability to regurgitate a form of jelly that hardens quickly originally used as a defensive weapon from the many predators in the Minervan waters but is now used mostly to repair small leaks in their vessels. They communicate telepathically underwater though when they are out of their water their telepathy is too weak to be of much use.

Limitations: They as a species are very weak compared to that of other species, their bodies although able to survive in atmospheric conditions are better suited for the water so strong breeze could knock him over, Required to wear protective eyewear for the depths of Minerva are dimly lit so too much light is dangerous to him, Unable to eat solid food so all nutrients are consumed through tiny pores in his skin in a liquid state, unable to survive without proper hydration a lot more urgent than that for other species. He can however go on away missions and such things just that he has to be more cautious of his surroundings than the others unless of course he has the opportunity for a sub-aquatic mission where he is at an advantage.

Overview:

Born on Minerva, and given the wise Omigos as his mentor who would raise him into adulthood with many other pupils. At the tender age of 267 Tethra was accepted to the Minervan naval forces, where he served until her reached the age 310 after that he was placed on a special laison duty to go between talks of the Federation and those on the elderly council who were worried of ending Minerva’s relative isolation. As Minerva joined the Federation Tethra was chosen to be the first Minervan to go through the Starfleet Academy due to his close relations with the Federation diplomats. Tethra accepted the assignment against the voiced opposition of Omigos.
