Appearance:
Looks Name: Goes by Jack S.
Species: Xoronn
Species description: Bipedal arthropods which evolved on the moon Dues, orbiting a gas planet.
Subspecies/Race: Ubxoronn
Subspecies/Race description:
The specie evolved from a hive mind plant eating race that was hunted by a intelligent predator. Having a hive mind was not a positive thing as the hunters were using it against them, picking one by one.
Being driven to a nearly instinct stage, a sub species appeared with a change in behavior being the most noticeable difference. The sub specie later known as Ubxoronn, dindt have the hive mentality as strongly emphasized, instead they followed the idea every individual is important,even thought there were barely any individual left to begin with. Those who were left didnt want to surrender to their fate just yet. If they gonna die out, lets go out with a bang, kicking and screeching. In just a few generations they had a intelligence boom, and started to successfully fight the hunters back, much to the predators horrors.
It became a war between two races, until ones excitation. Improved agility and better planning, quick learner all lead that after decades of bloody battle the Ubxoronn emerge victorious. They adapted the predators technology as their own, and as they were creating their own rules of civilization, the last of the predators were captured and publicly executed, ending the specie. That day was known as the start of their time counting. The beginning of of the Ubxoronn civilization.
Several generation, including a baby boom, later the specie developed their own space travel and means of exploring the cosmos. The interaction with humans lead to a improvement into medicine and genetics first and for most but all aspects of life were affected.
Skills: Beside the improved agility, curiosity and a good memory. Jack has a great sense of orientations, studying the stars he has mastered navigation, and knows a wide range of smuggling routes all over the travel-able cosmos. He is skilled in sneaking around and eavesdropping, one can never known what one can over hear.
He isnt the strongest in his race standards, but he still can give you a heavy double right to the face. Multitasking is natural to him (four arms and six eyes kinda helps the task) and skilled in languages.
Math and calculus are his friends, as well he has a solid knowledge about human physiology and history.
His eyes are good in near dark as well as in daylight. But reading of flat surfaces is hard,which includes reading of paper and monitors, well at least with out his reading googles with them he can read well as any normal human would.
Position: Navigator
Personality: He prefers to have a cold businesses front at all times when interacting with strangers. Say what you need, and he tells you the price. He adores the challenge of a good job, if the customer was ready to pay, no delivery or smuggling was too hard for him.
Social with chosen people, mostly the one who share the same interest as him, in opposite tends to be wandering alone. He has a fascination with music and really loves it, not so much of a dancer, thought. If he grows attached to some people he looks at them as his collective, following and fulfilling his part, as responsible as possible. A person of word, he doesnt give promises if he even in the slightest thinks he cannot fulfill them.
He thinks of himself as logical and reasonable, but looking back one could easily pick moments when he behaved pretty illogical or made decision based on intuition/instincts instead of facts.
Bio:
He grow up in the main city of his race home planet. Escalating in his school work he was chosen as one of the group of Ubxoronn young-lings to study in human universities across the many planets. It was part of a exchange program. Later it was planed for him to be part of the diplomats and similar roles connecting to the human handling.
Sadly things didnt go that smoothly. He was in his 3rd year of uni when the planet he studied on had problems with the monarchy. Jack, how his friends named him in lack of a way to pronounce his name properly, ignored the early signs. When the king was killed he ended up stuck in the middle of a civil war.
Being a survive he never knew he was before, he adapted in the scene. Quickly learning the ways of earning money by pickpocket and thieving. Staying out the way of the big groups for or against the monarchy, dealing and trading with the black market, avoiding getting killed, in the short period of a year and half he had enough money to pay to be smuggled off the planet. So he did just that.
Returning home was heart warming, reliving and heart emptying. The normal life just felt too silent and was missing pieces. To fill the void he applied for a position on a transport ship. It worked for him a bit but it still was kind of boring. That changed once a pirate ship assaulted them. Jack wasnt sure what made him do it, but he sweet talked the first mate to take him as a prisoner. That he was worth quite the money if traded right.
The first mate did so, much to the captain displeasure once he found they made prisoners. Which was against their way of dealing with things. In the following weeks, Jack used his school knowledge about humans to break up the crew in two. He found what he was missing. Adventure.
Seven years later he established himself as a solid and trust worthy smuggler. Having fly several different ships, up to this moment. It was on a mission of smuggling humans off a dictatorship ruled planet, pretty much a basic job, that he was caught. By spies in his group of migrants. He didnt go down willingly, which only ended in his sentences to be even longer than initially planed for resisting arrest. Jail was a completely new world for Jack S. to learn about. He took it quite positive looking at it as yet another adventure with its own rulers of world. He spent 14 mounts in jail by now.
Equipment: Reading googles - they go over his first pair of eyes. The 3 pairs of eyes can be moved undependable from the others pair.
