Name: Alysaya (Lysa, Aly) MiChance
Species: Katrayon
Gender: Female
Age: 21, legal on 90% of Alliance planets.
Affiliation: Neutral
Occupation: Mechanical engineer, jack-of-all-(scientific)-trades, master of none, but specializing in robotics and cybernetics (obviously)
Location: manages to scrape out a living on Trade World. In a tiny, run-down, one-bedroom house (doubling as a workshop) full of half-finished projects, oil spills, and general trash. (but she likes it that way.)
Personality: Somewhat laid back, very practical (she is an engineer, after all). She's very calm in most situations, even stressful ones, but it all might be to balance out her deep set emotional hangups that pop up every once and a while.
She can be sweet and is very loyal to people, but oh-so curious... She'll stay by your side till the bitter end, but you can't trust her to stay out of any of your secrets. Somewhat of a meddler.
Curious to the point of foolishness, and somewhat clumsy to boot.
She has incredibly strange opinions and habits, but she doesn't really care what people think about her. At all.
Eccentric, I guess.
She is very set in her ways and seems very strong, confident in the weapons she built and the roof over her head (she has to be, she's got no one else). But if any of that ever changes, she'll have to face the fact that she really is weak and alone in the world, just a young woman; perfectly susceptible to all mortal dangers.
Brief history: Grew up eldest in a family of 8. Her father was a mechanic on Trade World and taught her his work.
Then times got hard; her family had to move, but she stayed to work and possibly send extra funds to them.
Last she heard of them they were doing fine, but she hasn't heard anything in a while.
She lost her forearms and legs when she was very young, and she doesn't remember. And her parents never told her much about it, so it really doesn't bug her.
Positive aspects: She can fix robots, she knows how to aim, she's loyal, she can be sensitive to people, she can physically defend herself a bit, she's a talented engineer.
Negative aspects: She doesn't really know anything BUT engineering, never went to school (her dad taught her stuff), is essentially a four times amputee (sure she has robotic replacements, but they're never quite as good as the real thing. Plus they can come off. Screw off her arms and she's useless), curiosity can very easily kill the cat, she has next to no acquaintances, and she has more EAR HAIR than HEAD HAIR.
Species information:
Katrayons can morph between humanoid and quadruped ((I MIGHT change this later, it's awful cheesy))
Because of this, they weren't listed as an intelligent race by the Alliance for a long time, their species having been discovered and listed as a marsh-living scavenger that lives in packs... they didn't realize there was also civilization just out of sight.
When katrayon tried to integrate into society, all these terribly controversies and politics pop up. People still doubt their intelligence.
But most katrayon can blend in easily in melting-pot worlds. People have seen cat-like aliens, people have seen aliens with tentacles. Both at the same time isn't that much of an incredible stretch of the imagination.
Katrayon always have tentacles, sprouting from their heads or backs. Katrayon can also have poisonous glands in their mouth... another reason why politicians are a bit iffy about them.
(tho they usually stop being too poisonous after they leave their homeworld. Something about the food they eat...)
((OOC note: katrayons are made up by me, they fit in just about any sci-fi universe, but actually they were made up to go in the BLOSC universe))
more OOC notes:
Lysa's design was about 70% bymeansof.deviantart.com/'s work. She made her for me, and said I get to roleplay her anywhere. She also drew that quadruped pic of her. (thanks Nicholos! u pwn)
WEEHEHEHEHEEE I over did it, didn't I?
BG FTW!!
XDDDDDD No comment, folks
