Entropy and Other Dilemmas

This is what happens when you put "tentacles" and "acid trip" in the same character skeleton.

Behold its gelatinous glory

Name:

Glyxisarius Sel'thice

Aliases:

Glyx, Glyxie Sticks

Gender:

N/A, but doesn't mind being referred to as male for convenience.

Age:

Around 150, with the mentality of a 25-30 year old

Race:
Cyanthali: A race of amorphous jelly-people. Not actual jelly, of course, but...more of a combination of special, fancy stem cells and a whole shit ton of acid. They come in a huge variety of bright, fun colors, and are generally just blobs that have their organs, which are just simple structures like in a cell, freely floating. These, as well as their rather remarkable brain, are kept in a protein shell that keeps them from being fizzled away. Because of their very simple structure, they rarely perish from age or disease. The gel is also decent at destroying metal. To interact with the world, they use tentacles they extend from their bodies, that have had the acid in them displaced to the central body.

However, they are usually killed for their organ-brain pods. They are valued on the black market for VI construction, among other rather grotesque things (On a planet near their mostly aqueous homeworld Cyantha, they are considered a delicacy). This leaves the number of them outside of their homeworld very slim. Those that do leave, however, make great doctors or scientists thanks to the regenerative properties of their stem cells, after they are separated from their acid broth and their smarts.

They occupy special pods equipped with life support systems, defensive shielding, sensory amplifiers (allowing them to receive visual, auditory, kinetic, and olfactory stimuli, as well as taste. It also enables them to speak, as they normally communicate through chemical signals), and ports for them to extend their gelatinous tentacles so that they can interact with the world. The pod suits are suspended by a gravity repulsor on the bottom.

Appearance:

Outside of its pod, Glyx just looks like a light red blob with a dark pod in the middle, about the size of a soccer ball.

Its pod is a simple red chrome sphere, around 3 feet in diameter, with a screen in front for displaying images relating to emotions, or to present information Glyx is thinking about. Below that is a small speaker, a tiny microphone, and a small camera in a row. There are iris ports on the sides, top, and bottom to allow tentacles through.

Position:

Doctor/Medic

Personality:

Glyx is quite a pleasure, always excited for any venture that comes its way. Its rather difficult to upset him. Like, you'd have to break its suit apart or attempt to eat it in order for it to start getting perturbed. And even then, it'd give you quite a bit of leniency.

This is usually due to the fact that he uses that happiness to hide the distance he feels because of his pod suit. It's not a whole lot of fun being stuck in a metal ball in order to do anything. Also, sometimes dissolving the things you touch doesn't help to bolster self-esteem. Its accidentally fizzled a few household pets its tried to nurse to health, after all.

Despite that, it's determined to provide its (somewhat unreliable) services where it's needed. Even if the pay and benefits are shit. It would have left already if it needed more than happiness and food paste to survive, after all.

In addition, Glyx is a serious cut-up. It laughs at a whole lot it shouldn't, and makes jokes about anything it can. Humor is the best medicine, after all.

Biography

On Cyantha, Glyx was created when two Cyanthali, Seliax and Zeythice, casually came up to each other, decided their genetic information meshed well together, and sloshed themselves together to create a little slime baby. Which is pretty gross. Since they mature so rapidly, Glyx was in his own pod in no time, studying the basics of medicine and science in the underwater city of Telos, Cyantha's capital. He excelled in the study of xenobiology and medicine, and quickly became certified (At least in Cyanthan terms).
Being the adventurous type, Glyx felt the need to open a doctor's office on Earth, the little blue melting pot of the universe. Booking a seat on the next shuttle there, it wasn't long before Glyx was on terran soil. It took only a day for Glyx to realize it was broke, and wasn't opening anything except garbage cans in search of digestible anything. No one would hire it due to its potential of melting everything, and because its credentials weren't exactly valid anywhere except Cyantha, and discovered he was never taught how to actually treat anyone besides Cyanthali. A little tid-bit they failed to mention at graduation. All about keeping their best there, it seemed.

But that couldn't get Glyx down. Oh no, it was just starting its life! It didn't stop looking, and eventually found itself a position at the Second Delivery Company. It never bothered to ask what happened to the first. In fact, it never bothered to question anything. Why should it? It has an intensive hobby (Because in order for it to be a "job", you'd have to actually receive money), and gets to see all sorts. Sometimes. When the ship works. And they actually go places...

Well, at least they have most of their health. Glyx tries makes sure of that. The keyword there is tries

Catchphrase

"You've obviously never experienced the gentle caress of an amorphous acid-based organism before. "

Miscellaneous:

When diluted, the acid that composes Glyx's body is a stronger cousin of LSD. This is thanks to a rare genetic mutation that affects the molecular composition at "birth". If you call being the left over goo of weird jelly sex birth.

>>>>Survey Initiated<<<<

Doctor Eckhart Nosek [Owner and General Doctorate Holder]: "He's the boss. Aside from being a tad bit scary sometimes, I can't say I have a problem with him. He does put the pocket change in my non-existent pockets."

Jane Pepper [Pilot/Navigator/And Sex Appeal?]: "Jane's pretty cool. We can talk about all sorts of things, and she laughs at my jokes. Which I find to be absolutely great. I'll be honest, I was really intrigued by the whole shapeshifter thing at first, but now it doesn't seem like a big deal. I save med supplies as a bonus. Plus, she puts away more food than I can, and I'm essentially a giant stomach. That's saying something."

Krios Cerus [Engineer]: "Maybe just a teensy egotistical, but hey! No problem with that. We've cracked up together a few times. Not a bad guy, in my book."

Carnus Uvenk [IdiotDelivery Boy]: "I've kind of made it a point to avoid him. He wakes the dead with his screams, and I'm about 85% sure he believes David Bowie is the Messiah. Scratch that, 95%. Still, I value my life, so I don't bring this point up. Though a few vials of my special serum disappear every time he comes by for a treatment..."

Glyxisarius Sel'thice [Mostly Harmless Doctor]:"I'm lovable, space-efficient, and my screen-saver is a basket of kittens. Honestly, how could anyone hate me?"

Johanne Bry [Caribbean/Cajun Swamp Queen A.K.A The Cook]: "I really like Joh. She's a tough lady, and her cooking is lovely compared to the garbage I was surviving on. And her hair is the most interesting thing I've ever seen on a human. I mean, it's almost like it never ends!"

Hay the Horse [A Horse and the Techie]: "Well...he's a horse with sentience. Not a nice one, either. But, he somehow knows a lot about tech things, way more than I do about non-Cyanthan technology, so I guess he isn't too bad."

Harriet [Mute Janitor]: "Remember when I said no one could hate me? I lied. From the few glimpses I've seen of this woman, and the glares she's burned into my lenses, I swear she's going to jettison me one of these days. If the jettison even works. Wait, was there ever a jettison?"

Oruthar Yeu142: "He's a decent fellow. I have no place to comment on his appearance, since...well. I'm Jell-O. I look forward to getting to know him."

If you have something else planned, go on and tell me! :D

Oh, Hae, you majestic fucker.

If no one has already said something about the Doctor, I have a few ideas percolating for it >:D

That it did!I'm feeling like a part of my brain is missing, though! When did Eleyna go to Rihad, or did you just mix town names up? o.o I honestly can't recall.

I did mix them up *facepalm*. Goodness gracious me. Something in my head kept saying "IT'S HELGATHE DAMMIT" but I was running out of time and did not fix xD I'll be sure to do that ^^;

EDIT: Fixed it! :D

The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

I finally posted. A week after I said I would. But at least it happened! :D

The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

Elayna stepped through the streets of Helgathe, her strides quick and purposeful. Her destination was the docks. Sasik had to be wondering where the Breton had gotten, and she didn't wish to upset the elderly man this early. Wisps of the spring-colored garment which adorned her blew back in the sea breeze, the slight fluttering drawing her attention behind her. Francis and his companion could be putting the pieces together, and that worried her. Elayna didn't want to be the one who ended up ruining everything by bringing anyone to the group's doorstep. Maybe she was being overly-cautious, but even the most minute possibility of not seeing her home again drove her mind to run constantly.

As she made her approach to the Helgathe docks, Elayna reflected upon Sasik's words regarding his hindered stores and abilities due to the Occupation. It was clear that he held disdain for it, as both a merchant and medicine man. The desert was no place to cultivate the more grassy medicinal herbs found in the other provinces. In fact, she hypothesized that fungus, aloe vera, and other hardy specimens like spiky grass, would be all that survived in the harsh heat. Sasik was doing all he could, but at the rate things were going, he'd end up having to lie about his remedies. The thought of the Dwemer putting one of her discipline in such a position irritated her to no end. How would he survive if this shipment didn't make it through? The old Alchemist had mentioned in passing he had a few plants cultivating in his basement, but they'd only go so far! The Breton woman was determined now, economical formulas that would lengthen the supply percolating in her mind.

It was not long before she arrived. The ocean looked beautiful, in it's azure expanse. Perhaps she would have enjoyed it more without the Dwemer guard going about, checking every shipment. With the ships docking to her right, and stalls and buildings lining her left, Elayna's eyes were set to a particular stall with a canopy of green, not much darker than her clothing.

The man attending the stall wore traditional Redguard garments of reds and browns, and his dark complexion told a tale of a life spent entirely in Magnus's gaze. At his storefront were vegetables, fresh from farms beyond Helgathe. However, the selection was very sparse. Tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots were all that the merchant could offer. His dark eyes locked onto Elayna's. "Can I interest you in some of the freshest produce Helgathe can offer, my dear?" He struggled to keep sarcasm out of his tone. It wouldn't be hard to believe that these were all Helgathe could offer. Elayna, of course, did not wish to waste more time. "Actually, I'm here to pick up an order for Sasik. I understand he requested a barrel of assorted produce?" She motioned to the paltry store front, and the man glanced around before sighing. He motioned to the barrel that sat behind him, on a a small pull cart. "Tell him that I'm not going to be able to do this again. It's just too much hassle, and it isn't worth my life. It's packed pretty well, but...well, I'm sorry." The man said in hushed tones, appearing to be engaged in normal conversation with the roar of the sea and bustle of the port filling the air with sound.

Elayna frowned, a subtle drooping of the corners of her mouth, as her eyes clouded with worry. If Sasik could no longer rely on this man to get reagents, then how would he fare in the future? The desire to remove the Dwemer stranglehold on the city was growing more and more within her, and it took all she had to not lash out on the shopkeeper, another victim. She heaved a sigh as well, nodding slightly. "I understand. I just hope he does as well."

The man offered to deliver the supplies as consolation, but Elayna refused and decided to deliver them herself. It was what she was told to do, after all. Elayna didn't have much trouble, thanks to the cart, bringing the barrel back to Sasik's shop. Entering with a heavy heart, she found the older man behind his counter in the dark, cool structure. He started at the sudden intrusion, looking up from his mortar and pestle. Sasik relaxed as he realized who it was. "Ah, Sylvia! It took you a bit longer than expected...everything alright?" He inquired, returning to his work.

Elayna stepped forward, a laden tone to her words, "Yes, of course...just got held up by a scuffle in the market. The shipment is just outside on the cart..." Her voice dropped, and being the wise man he was, Sasik pushed up his bushy gray brow, before it settled again.

"Anything happen at the docks?" He asked knowingly.

Elayna opened her mouth to speak, but simply looked to the floor. She couldn't help but feel like she somehow failed. "...The merchant said that he could no longer deliver. It was getting too dangerous for him, it would seem."

Sasik heaved a sigh of sadness. "I'd anticipated as much. I do hope this will last us...come, let us begin unpacking. I'll even treat you to a salad." The elder smirked as he shuffled past Elayna, and she couldn't help but smile. He reminded her so much of Dominus that it was hard to believe he'd been gone for weeks now.

"How about I pay for that lovely meal with some streamlined formulae I've been kicking around?" She offered.

The Redguard turned to her, a smile so genuine upon his face her heart glowed. "Why, that sounds like a fair trade if there ever was one."

In that moment, sorting through dried flowers and herbs while sharing techniques and crunching on somewhat dusty lettuce, Elayna had been reminded of what she'd missed with her own grandfather during her time in the Imperial City. Knowing that he and her grandmother were both safe after Chorrol...well, she had plenty to fight for, that was for sure.
