• Ambitions and Goals: Serve well as the First Ane President of the Federation Council
• Physical/mental Problems: Roeban is a healthy specimen of Ane.
• Friends, Enemies (And Why): Those persons that are less than forthright. Ane love to prick the overinflated and watch them pop. They also have the tact of a starship at warp 9. They will restate your position to you in exact, precise, blunt language that you cannot deny is what you want and still get what you want. This does not make political friends among many races. Roeban is a guilty as most in these practices otherwise known as Ane Diplomacy. He has been restraining that urge for the last decade and trying to cut back on his fellows as well. However a reputation earned is hard to get rid of.

  Vulcans, Andorians, and Klingons (surprise) among some others, have no problem with Ane bluntness. They have run roughshod over most Human members at least once. The Romulans and Cardassians do not like them at all.

• Special Abilities: Telepath, Teleport, good multi-attention ability.
• Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Generic Ane weakness for a good joke on pompous people. In a political arena that is a difficult thing to control. Roeban is better at it than than most. However he must also convince his fellows to do the same. Generic Ane physical disadvantages. He is Handicapped, and large.
• History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Roban decided at a young age to study this "politics" thing. He read up on the Federation council, he attended law school and even passed the bar. He got hooked in. Politics is now his career and has even affected his choice of mates.

  Roban and his bond group have successfully made a run for Federation President, The first in the 200 years of the Federation. Roban has been made the front man of the Delegation, and has been serving as a fairly typical Council member for the last ten years.

• Position: In human terms the Ane position would be libertarian to an extreme. Roban is no exception. They are pro Starfleet to the extent that it is a voluntary organization. The are only pro Federation because membership is voluntary and can be surrendered. Ergo, the requirements of membership, paying for things like Starfleet are not aggression.

  Ane are also pro truth. It might hurt, it might suck, but telling the truth is always better than a lie. It also follows that responsibility and accountability are paramount. People that try an end run around the agreed on rules deserve anything that can be thrown at them.

  Ane are firmly in the Gentlebeing camp as well. Making new friends and meeting new people is what they get up in the morning for.
