Definite Crook
Name: Sye'kt T'kt'n'rkt Kvs'kt
Nickname: Seyek Kivist (Due to the fact that native V'ziktish is difficult to pronounce to humans, an approximation of his name is used.)
Gender: Male
Age: 17 Standard Solar Years (Approximately 25-ish in V'zikt years.)
Species: V'zikt (Kvs'kt Hive)
The V'zikt are an insect-like species native to the planet Ha'tle'tet; a humid, planet with a vast jungle sprawl. On average, V'zikt stand just slightly shorter than what is average for humans, and possess both an interior endoskeleton and an exoskeleton carapace. Members also possess a pair of wings that can be used to augment mobility and provide limited flight. Six eyes provide excellent eyesight while four nostrils (located at the base of the neck just above the chest) can detect even incredibly faint scents. V'zikt also have a shorter lifespan than humans. On average, V'zikt only live to be around 35 to 40 standard years old.
Their society features an assigned role system where hatchlings are given designated roles in their society based on genetics, apparent talents, ancestry, and other factors. Their society is split into six Hives, each of which has a slightly different culture and dialect, but are similar enough in long run. These Hives aren't physical places, however. A V'zikt's Hive is simply whatever Hive their parents belonged to (though it should be noted that V'zikt hatch in batches and are raised by the Hive, so they never meet or know who their parents were). Seyek was born from the Hive of Kvs'kt (or Hive of Teeth in Human English).
Appearance:
Seyek stands at around 5'10". Like all other V'zikt, he's covered in a hard, segmented carapace that provides a decent amount of protection. While it can't stop a speeding projectile from a gun, it can certainly defend against grazing shrapnel and bladed weapons. And while V'zikt have wings and are technically capable of flight; they don't actually fly everywhere. As Seyek puts it, "It'd be like a human sprinting everywhere. It's tiring and you look like an idiot." Additionally, while Seyek has a green carapace with some yellow, V'zikt can come in several different colors.
V'zikt traditionally don't wear much clothing, and what they do wear often consists of simple sashes tied around the waist or chest. When they do wear more, it is always for practical purposes. Seyek often wears a pair of combat trousers because the pouches and pockets allow him to carry things. A few bandoleers over the bare carapace of his chest are usually the only other thing he wears, unless he's deployed someplace where cold weather gear is necessary. But no scarves. V'zikt nostrils being where they are, he'd asphyxiate.
Seyek bears a mark consisting of seven thin diamond shapes interlocked to make a zigzagging line. Upon reaching adulthood, V'zikt are marked with their Hive's mark. Thus, Seyek bears the mark of Teeth. If you ask extra nicely, he might even recite the creed he had to memorize as a hatchling.
Occupation: Ex-Scout for K'vskt army. Brought onboard as a Reconnaissance Specialist
Personality: Seyek has a tendency of being hot-headed and confrontational. He's got a chip on his shoulder and has a bad habit of speaking out of line or voicing his disgruntlement. He's got an active sense of humor, but it often takes the form of snide remarks and sarcasm. Bad first impressions aside, Seyek can be a good drinking buddy once you get to know him and he's got a lot of good stories to tell. He's got a very interesting outlook on things, even for a V'zikt. If one can get him to open up, he's probably got a lot of reservations he'd like to get off his chest as well. Earning his absolute loyalty can be difficult, but if he figures someone's worth fighting for, he'll go to hell and back with them. And hey, after spending some time looking around the ship, he might be able to show you a few good spots where you can have a drink and play a game of cards without getting caught. He's good at that kind of thing.
In a fight, Seyek is everything he needs to be. Like all V'zikt, he's been trained or taught everything he needs for his job since he hatched. As a scout for his Hive's military during a conflict with the Hive of Y'rkg'kt (the Hive of Spears), he picked up a lot of tricks. Trained to hunt and fight, he's an asset to have whenever you need something either found or killed; or both. He's an accomplished tracker whether he's tailing a target on a crowded space station or hunting something in the wilds. As a survivalist, he's right at home in situations where supplies are short either because of shortages or because he's out in the wilderness. He makes an excellent infiltrator, putting his training and natural agility to use when the situation calls for stealth.
Relationship with Other Characters: N/A (May be subject to change.)
