Name: Rokajr 'Rooks'
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Demisexual-bisexual
Species: Yautja
Age: 743 earth years
Appearance: Rooks is a scaly, bipedal, broad-shouldered being of about 7'2 in height. He is muscular but lean, and his scaled head is framed by a mane of shiny, black tendrils of flesh. Most of the various sets of outfits he's been known to wear are either armored, heavily adorned with bits of bone, chitin, horn or tooth, or both. A collector of skulls and various other trophies from his fallen foes, he maintains quite the stash of dead things.(WIP)
Personality: Rooks is the sort of fellow who has difficulty reaching out to others, and his less-than-skilled social behavior doesn't really help that much. He is the sort of person who acts first and asks questions later, though he tries not to be for his own sake. Rooks is rather fearful and shy, but he is also even tempered and generally friendly unless provoked, threatened, or hungry. Rooks generally doesn't try too hard to understand what's going on around him unless he finds it relevant, but he does appreciate being offered potentially useful information.
Rooks is usually rather weak-willed and doesn't like to argue, although he often will if challenged. He doesn't like to think about things unless he finds some immediate use in it, and isn't good with words, either in English or in his native tongue. If he ever says anything particularly clever, usually it is a quote from somewhere or other. When nervous or confused he has a habit of letting out a single clicking noise in place of a valid response.
When made to choose between fight or flight, Rooks generally chooses to fight. It's in his nature and his upbringing, and he doesn't have the force of will to change that. Rooks does however constantly worry about his own chances of survival, and though not born of arrogance he tries to curb his violent tendencies when he sees a potential to leave the area of conflict without bloodshed if he isn't sure he has the advantage or otherwise doesn't feel obliged to stay.(WIP)
History:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Health:
-Acute-
Updated 9/30/16
Three of Rooks's ribs are fractured, and the surrounding tissue is badly bruised under the skin. His right leg has a deep vertical gash on the outer edge.(Obtained 9/14/16)
-chronic-
Updated 9/28/16
When his helmet and backup mask are unavailable, Rooks begins to suffer from Acute Mountain Sickness even when not far above sea level within a couple of hours. This is not cured by simply returning to a lower area. If not provided with a source of richer or otherwise more ideal air within a couple of days, he will begin to suffer from slow asphyxiation, and may possibly die from it.
There are a couple of lead bullets still embedded in Rooks from battles long past. Two in the back of the calf of his left leg, and one in his right shoulder.
-Scarring- (This isn't all inclusive, only tracking major injuries)
Updated 8/20/16
Rooks's left shoulder has a semicircular tearing scar on the forwards edge. The top of his shoulder is marked with a small burn scar, which was distorted when the more major injury had begun to heal.
Rooks's right arm bears a long, deeo splatter-shaped series of burn scars, devoid of the speckling of the rest of his skin. This arm will never be at quite it's former strength and flexibility, but even damaged is capable of most of what he used to be able to do with it.
Trophies:
8/7/16Cyborg jawbone necklace - two matching halves of wolf jawbone with three lengths of braided leather string attaching them to one another, with metal-braced holes at either end. The teeth appear to be made of steel, and have been carefully painted to avoid future tarnishing. He gave it to Sharahphina on 8/8/16
8/7/16 Cyborg tail - A tail from a very large canine, armored at the base, that has been de-boned, preserved, and stuffed.
Knows of:
Enoki - Saw from a distance. Inferred his name from talking to other creatures.
Ferra - Accidentally caused her to nearly drown :/ sorry about that?
Zenaku - Rooks fears their power, but considers them to be a reasonable being.
Shade - Healed Rooks's wounds. They disagree on a lot of things, but he's earned Rooks's gratitude.
Allies:
Sharahphina - Rooks helped her defend from a cyborg drone attack, and was badly injured in the process. Sharahphina offered Rooks shelter in return for the assistance. He regards her as an equal and a good friend, though he can't get over the shape of her tail...
Pan - Rooks has finally found someone trustworthy to trade technical knowledge with, it seems.
Gale - Rooks finds her rather cute in a childish sort of way.
Enemies:
8/7/16 - Rooks encounters Gale while investigating the cyborg drones he and Sharahphina had killed the day before. He shares information about the fight, then... is spooked by and shoots at Ferra and subsequently slapped by Zanaku, losing consciousness. Once he is aware of his surroundings again, he takes his leave of the place.
8/8/16 - Rooks meets Zanaku a second time, and his fear of them is lessened by a pleasant conversation. Later, he gives the gift of a necklace to Sharahphina, but they are interrupted by a red crystal attack, and Rooks is unable to escape. Soon after, he attacks Sharahphina.
8/14/16 - Rooks meets Shade, and after a short discussion, Shade uses magic to help heal Rooks's injuries.
8/16/16 - Rooks meets Pan, and their mutual fondness for engineering strikes up an immediate friendship.
