IN-CHARACTER: Character name: Dr. Doctor Berthstien. Series name: Based very loosely on this race I created in Spore once. So N/A, really. Canon notes: N/A
History:
The Krillium are a race of very intelligent, three-foot-tall shrimp-people. They have an almost laughably non-violent culture, and they place a great deal of importance in the acquisition of knowledge. Mr. and Mrs. Berthstien had high hopes for their 43rd son, Doctor (named such because of an unfortunate culture-wide misunderstanding of human naming conventions), who was born between the starsigns of science and culture. Unfortunately, even at a young age, his interests seemed strangely misguided. Most young Krillium were well through academy by the time their exoskeletons solidified, but Doctor was scraping by, far more interested in roundabout experiments and overly complex studies that didn't really lend themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. He just seemed to like blowing things up and finding really, really silly ways to fry an egg.
However, he was not given very long to prove himself to his people... Another fleet of huge, violent, beaked creatures known as the Flaminkos descended upon the planet as part of their ongoing galactic conquest. The Krillium, who knew nothing about self-defense, were easy pickings for the bird-race. Doctor was one of the few Krillium to escape the planet's untimely demise--he and several dozen other survivors scuttled in their ships to a new, very primitive planet, where they hoped to slowly rebuild their civilization and re-gather all of the knowledge they had lost to the Flamikos.
Personality: - He may seem very strange to people at first, because of his alien culture and his bizarrely misguided understanding of human social norms. - Once you get past the pedipalps, he is a nice person who would not wish harm on anyone! - He is extremely curious about things he's never seen before, and gets very excited when it comes to meeting new people. - He also has an extreme thirst for science; he wants desperately to prove to what's left of his race that his pursuits are actually very, very helpful in learning! He just sees it a lot differently than most... - He gets kind of offended when people don't accept him on account of him looking like a three-foot tall shrimp. While he is nice most of the time, he will get annoyed if he is looked down upon (figuratively). - He harbors a deep dark secret--he's not actually a doctor, his school burned down before he could get his PhD. As such, he gets extremely nervous when people question whether or not he is actually qualified to any doctor-like things.
Abilities: He can determine the chemical components of pretty much anything by feeling it with his pedipalps. He is also capable of making a small sonic shockwave if he knocks his pincers together, but doing so is considered incredibly rude by Krillium standards. This will be partly blocked to keep him from accidentally ripping a hole through the ship. Augment Skillset: Lab support. For science!
Sample:
[hello, network! this feed appears to be video, though all that's shown is a slightly shadowy blob of grey. A strange burbling sound can be heard through the speakers before the figure pulls back--revealing that there was a large mantis-shrimp with his round, bobbly eye in the camera.]
Oh, oh goodness! Is this thing working...? I wasn't so sure with the way the insides have been cross-wired and there's so much green... [he burbles again, uncertain.] Can everyone hear me? I do believe I have been swept up into something most... [burbleburble...] Unusual...
