“You call this prosperity? The people voted for me because they want something different!”

–Alaka'i

Alaka'i is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the anthology series The 35 as a character in 3 out of 105 segments. For the third Galactic Jungle election, he moderated the debate between Click, Nemo, and Ho'aliona. Years later, he would meet with Click to demand action of a group of Galactic Jungle villagers that still operated under The Council's laws. In the fourth and fifth elections, he would run against Click, campaigning on a closed-border policy. He won the fifth election and gloated to Click and his cabinet, leading to Makaia pushing him down a flight of stairs, paralyzing him.

Story

The 35

2016

Alaka'i is first seen moderating the televised debate between Click, Nemo, and Ho'aliona in the Galactic Jungle. He lays out the rules for the debate and then asks the prepared questions to each of the nominees from left to right, Click to Ho'aliona.

2020

As the next election cycle approached, Alaka'i would barge into Click's office and demanded action on the sect of villagers that were still adhering to The Council's laws. After an outburst from Click, Ho'aliona escorts Alaka'i out of the office. Alaka'i would later join the Mayoral race, though he would lose to Click.

2024

Alaka'i ran again in the fifth election cycle, where he beat Click with 53.4% of the votes. After his victory was announced, Alaka'i came into Click's office to gloat, angering him and the members of his cabinet. He gets into direct conflict with Makaia, but tells him that he would be in charge for the next four years no matter what. Makaia backs off, and Alaka'i leaves. As he is about to descend a flight of stairs to return to the building's lobby, Makaia sneaks up behind him and shoves him down, breaking most of Alaka'i's bones. As he loses consciousness, he hears Makaia gloat back to him.

Quotes

“Thank you all for coming today to the first official electoral debate of the Galactic Jungle. Today marks a momentous occasion for our continent, as it is the first debate held between candidates since the advent of our governments. My name is Alaka’i, and I'll be tonight’s moderator. Now please welcome to the stage Mayor Click, Secretary Nemo, and Mr. Ho'aliona.” –Alaka'i “Tonight's debate will be simple, no more than two minute responses to questions, and if you would like to respond to a statement made by another candidate, you may have one minute to respond. We are scheduled to be live for an hour and a half tonight.” –Alaka'i “Mayor Click, we'll start with you sir. Over the past eight years, your biggest campaign promise was to undo your damage as The Council. How do you feel you've done with this promise?” –Alaka'i “Go ahead Mr. Ho'aliona. You have one minute.” –Alaka'i “Thank you Mr. Ho'aliona. Would you like to respond, Mayor?” –Alaka'i “Secretary Nemo, we come to you next. As a member of the Mayor's current cabinet, you have decided to run primarily on keeping the village safe from corruption, with claims that Secretary Sushi was working out of self–interest. What are your plans to reduce corruption in the office?” –Alaka'i “Mr. Ho'aliona, you have a minute to respond.” –Alaka'i “Mr. Ho'aliona, we move to you. As a member of the Jungle's Royal Guard, your decision to run for Mayor has been compared to Volunteer Colepere Amapbé of Watersong and former Guard Kacha Hanaman of Lavasteam. You've been running on a similar campaign to both the current Mayor and Secretary Nemo. What sets you apart from the other candidates?” –Alaka'i “No response by Mayor Click or Secretary Nemo, so we'll move on to our first policy question of the night. We will begin with Mayor Click, then hear from Secretary Nemo, then Mr. Ho'aliona. First off, the state of our Royal Guard.” –Alaka'i

“Do you even want to be mayor anymore? We can elect someone else if you don't want this.” –Alaka'i “Helmets, Click! They're still in ventilator helmets!” –Alaka'i

“Hey Click! Congratulations on the last 16 years. Or, actually, I guess it was the last 30 or so years, wasn't it?” –Alaka'i “I guess this is what happens when you finally fix all the problems you caused – the people don't need you anymore.” –Alaka'i “Oh come on buddy! Don't just prattle off legal talk to me! Let's go celebrate somewhere nice.” –Alaka'i “All I'm going to do is make Galactic Jungle what it should be. Bring it back to a better time!” –Alaka'i “I don't want The Council! I want prosperity for our Raposa!” –Alaka'i “You call this prosperity? The people voted for me because they want something different! Something like Mizzi brought to the village.” –Alaka'i “Do it. I'd love to see what happens to you. Remember, I get four years. No. Matter. What.” –Alaka'i “Good call. Now, I'll be on my way everyone. I look forward to working with you all soon!” –Alaka'i
