Name: Has'la Robinson (first name is Zathuran for Cunning)
Age: 30
Appearance:
Personality: Loves to learn more things constantly. A peaceful person, he prefers commerce and negotiation to battle, and will only fight another person in self defense.
Skills: Engineering, computer use, electronics, physics
Non-standard Abilities:
Mutation: Radiation absorption: Metabolism feeds on Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation up to a certain level. If he absorbs too much, his radiation level will start to go down once he enters and low radiation area. This allows him to travel areas that would normally be dangerous for humans to be in. While metabolizing radiation cellular mitosis occurs faster, giving him up to a 5x healing rate.
Bionic Implants: Computer interface: This implant can wirelessly access nearby computers and download data or control them. It allows perfect recall of any data stored on the device. It also stores his electronic currency behind a firewall so that it can't be stolen by run-of-the-mill thieves.
Equipment: Dual Ion Rifle: Can switch between firing Negative Ions, which damage shields and electronics and stuns organic life, and Positive Ions, which heat up and burn targets, though it isn't as efficient at producing damage as a particle or laser weapon.
Wrist-comp: A largely unnecessary computer on his forearm, he keeps it for its superior processing speed, Geiger counter, holo-projector, and long range communications array, essentially an overpowered cell phone.
Backup power cells: Extra charges for his rifle or wristcomp. Sometimes used to bring derelict technology back to life.
Personal shield generator: Found on a dead Slaver, it doesn't protect against many hits, especially from heavier guns, but it is enough to keep him from getting injured by a stray shot while diving for cover or moving between cover areas.
Hyper-crystal necklace: Given to him as payment for repairing the reactor that almost killed him, he keeps it both for sentimental reasons and because it is both beautiful and valuable. The hypercrystal appears to contain a moving light within it, as the tachyons that enter it from hyperspace decay into photons when they enter our space-time continuum. Theoretically, the crystal could be used to power a hyperdrive, but he lacks the funds to build one.
Bio: Shortly after birth, he was adopted by someone who could afford to properly raise a child on Earth, something which is fairly rare. Raised by a Zathuran engineer, Setta Feestra, who worked at a starport in one of the larger salvage cities by the name of Savannah, he studied science and technology from a young age. He left when he got old enough. His implant was a gift from his parent, and was manufactured on their homeworld.
After leaving Savannah he traveled around, looking for a place where he could put his skills to work, earning a living by helping people. He learned of his mutation when a traveling wave reactor he was building for a city developed a radiation leak. He received a lethal dose of radiation and was expected to die, but over the next few days his radiation sickness went away, and his sores began to scab over. Within a week, he was reading as radiation free by the Geiger counters at the clinic.
Since then he has made a decent living salvaging in lightly irradiated areas, as few people have tried salvaging them, and radiation suits and radiation treatment drugs are fairly expensive.

Name: Zathuran (Zthu'rn)
Homeworld: Zatha
Specialization: Advanced tech, especially power, FTL, and scientific equipment.
Appearance: Red, yellow, or sometimes Purple Humanoids. To the human eye they appear to have a mix of male and female features, such as male physique, but also having feminine facial features. They rarely have visible hair on their faces or heads, though what hair they do have is in shades of white, silver, or grey.
Description: A race of hermaphrodites, they have a fairly diverse culture compared to many. The structure of their brains naturally makes it easier to understand advanced mathematics and physics, which has lead to many of them specializing in technology. In fact, their technology is the industry standard in the areas of hyperdrives and warp drives, as well as quantum singularity reactor technology. Their computer technology is also some of the best, as it has needed to be to do the calculations necessary for advanced physics research.
Those that don't go into such fields often still enter a scientific field, causing a much larger than normal percent of their population to work in biology and the medical fields. They also have a rich culture of art, music, and philosophy which draw large numbers of their people into it. This uneven distribution of employment has lead to them seeking other races out to fill the jobs in their business which their own society cannot provide. Many also go to other worlds to seek better employment opportunities outside of the flooded employment market of their homeworld.
At a young age all children are given a computer interface implant to aid in their education. Other races also purchase these implants from time to time, as they work with a variety of neural patterns as long as the proper firmware is installed on the chip.
