Character Idea
Full Name: Nippikin Zekliaoson
Known as: Dr. Zek (pronounced Zeek), or just Zek
Species: Gulin
Gender: Male
Age: 41
Appearance:
Zek wears a mostly orange space suit with black trim, and has pale white skin with dark, nearly black, eyes and tusk. He always looks a little moist inside his suit, and most people look at him and assume he’s sad or angry. But, that’s just how Gulin tend to look. (Resting Gulin Face).
Vocation: Zek is a frontier traveling doctor. Due to his interest in medicine and foreign species, this always seemed to call to him.
Personality: Zek is fairly oblivious when it comes to many things aside from medicine. Zek cares about his patients, but it’s not always clear if it’s due to an emotional attachment, or a love of keeping other living things living. Zek is friendly, but does have some people he’d rather not speak with.
History: Zek was born on Gauss Prime, where he learned of his love of medicine, and during an off world trip, alien species. When Zek was of age, he left for a human controlled planet, to learn the ins and outs of modern galactic medicine. His primary instructor Cliff Henderson, passed on his own medical tools to the promising young Gulin at his graduation. Some years later Cliff and the school were destroyed by the entity known as The Nomad. Zek grieved as best he knew how, and attempted to help those he could in the situation without getting involved with military efforts directly. So, he found himself on RX3248, helping the remaining citizens of the once brilliant Ha’Mdama lick their wounds and move forward.
Valued possessions: Zek has a small collection of mementos from every patient that has died in his care. Some people see this is morbid and strange, but it acts as a reminder for Zek to keep trying harder.
Zek has a medical kit passed on to him from his human mentor 10 years prior.
