| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths & Weaknesses He has evolved to work in some of the harshest mining conditions. His race is used to being strong in a place that would kill most humanoids within a few hours. While in a clean environment, he appears to have true superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, endurance, durability and regeneration. He muscle mass makes him naturally stronger and more durable. If he was on his home planet or a similarly harsh environment, he would have about twice normal human strength, speed, agility, stamina, endurance, and regeneration. In a clean environment, his strength, stamina, endurance, and regeneration are about 5 times human normal. He trained with warriors and priests from other races, so he can use most of this. Because of his regeneration, his metabolism is much higher. He has to eat a lot more food than a human. Triple portion at breakfast and lunch and a double portion at dinner. He also eats protein bars and the occasional double portion 4th meal, depending on his exertion. He runs faster on all fours than he does on two legs. His uniform has been designed in case he has to run. While he does have a higher degree of self control due to training, he does have the baser instincts of an animal. This can cause him to be short with people. In battle, he has the potential of losing his temper. Only a hand full of people can get through to him and get him to calm down naturally. He had the foresight to have a Starfleet Betazoid Empath Counselor and a Vulcan Neuroscientist help with with inputting a command phrase. "The day is getting long and the sun low." His Commanding Officer is given this information so that if he goes berserk, they can bring him back down. It doesn't put him to sleep, but it does calm him dramatically. Because of his training, this problem has been reduced over the past few years. In the beginning of his Starfleet Career, this caused him issues in his career, particularly in the May to July time frame. It is connected to his breeding cycle as well as high yield combat situations. Normally, he takes extra time during his off time in the gym. In the spring, he doubles his work out regime. It has been 2 years since his last episode. He always holds himself to a higher standard. He is always pushing himself to be better. Because of his species/culture and the family he grew up in, he has an understanding of geology, seismology, vulcanology, and mineralogy. |

| Personal History | In 2269, his race was misidentified and called Ursinoid when they were really al'Hmatti from the planet in the Klingon Empire called al'Hmatti, which the Klingons call it taD. Officially, they were a conquered species. They are one of the few conquered species that Klingons respect in battle. Ardal was born on a Mining Planet called Motherlode. His father was in charge of fulfilling contracts for Starfleet. was 14 years old when his father took him to a mining facility on the edge of the Neutral Zone with the Starfleet Acquisitions Specialist. al'Hmatti (Ursinoids) were going to take over the mining operations. The mining facility was raided. Many of the Starfleet Personnel and al'Hmatti killed by Romulans. They were going to hold the Acquisitions Specialist Hostage and ransom him. Ardal's father wasn't able to come up with a plan to save them. Ardal got into the security system, patching it to the mining equipment, creating a distraction. From there his father and the Acquisitions Officer was able to come up with a plan. Ardal was 14 years old and fighting beside Starfleet Security Forces. They managed to secure the base. Ardal was offered a chance to take the Starfleet Entrance exam. He passed the exam and just had to wait on transport to Earth and the next year to start. By the time everything iined up, he was 17 year old Ursinoid standing in San Francisco. They made an exception for entry because he wouldn't be 18 until a month after the semester started. He initially had his major as Geology and Mineralogy. He discovered that because of where he grew up, it wasn't a challenge. He got permission to change his major to Anthropology. He continued to do the course work for Geology and Mineralogy. Because the instructors wanted to pick the brain of an Ursinoid, they allowed him to come in after classes and do his labs. In July of 2371 an incident a bar during while a group of Klingons were visiting Starfleet Academy led to him sitting down with multiple doctors from Starfleet Medical. He was having a conversation with a Klingon female. She had stated she was interested in him, he offended her by saying she wasn't strong enough. She hit him, he stood up, and 3 Klingon Males stood up, one of them referring to his as jeghpu'wI'. It ended up being a 4 on 1 fight. She did more damage to him than the 3 males did. He spent a year with Starfleet Medical, so they could run tests on him and find his limitations. This delayed his graduation. They came up with the plan of neural programming and the extensive exercise program. During the Dominion War, they made use of this species trait. They made use of him being able to go berserk. This got him commendations. After the war, he had to gain control himself very quickly or lose his Starfleet Commission. What is acceptable in War, isn't acceptable in everyday Starfleet Career. |
