[b]Appearance[/b]: [img]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/grimm/images/9/96/GelumcaedusConcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140802141001[/img]
[b]Name[/b]: Rakans'mei Jakarta (Accepts being called "Rocky") - He stands at about 8'4" and weighs in at 493 lbs (he's small by his race's standards). He dislikes most forms of clothing as a whole but is willing to tolerate wearing cargo pants and tank tops.
[b]Gender[/b]: Male
[b]Age[/b]: 32 terran years
[b]Race[/b]: Skälen 
[b]Race description[/b]:[hider=Skälen]
Named for their appearance by the terran colony that discovered them, the Skälen are a race of reptilian humanoids indigenous to a densely forested heavy gravity planet located within the Khosi system. A combination of heavy gravitational pull and higher oxygen concentrations within the atmosphere has allowed this race to reach rather sizable proportions, with the largest of their number typically measuring somewhere around thirteen feet tall and weighing in at nearly seven hundred pounds. This predatory race is nomadic in nature, moving whenever a prey source has been depleted in an area. Despite their aggressive appearance the Skälen are a fairly social people within their own ranks and will form small to medium sized tribes comprised of both related an non related members alike. It is the common belief of many that the Skälen are a dimwitted race due to their lack of both architecture and any technology above that of the terran bronze age, however this is not entirely the case. While it is true that the Skälen aren't likely to start building ships of their own anytime soon they have nonetheless proven themselves to be quick enough learners to have at least earned themselves a place within the galactic community. 

They are particularly favored by other races as a cheap and effective workforce due to the fact that a Skälen will often accept payment in food rather than in actual currency. The Skälen fulfill a similar role in society to the Zarats, in that they are typically hired in labor or combat intensive roles such as miners, mercenaries, pirates, or cargo movers. 

Skälen have very little sexual dimorphism to speak of beyond a difference in size, with males typically reaching ten feet on average while females reach around six.

[b]Faction[/b]: Talon Merc Company (Rocky has worked out an interesting agreement: His higher ups pocket most of his pay in exchange for his food expenses being covered. It's hard to say who actually benefits more at this point)
Faction Description: (again only if making one)
[b]Job[/b]: Security officer, "lab assistant" (He just moves heavy stuff and helps capture specimens every now and then. Really he just likes the title.)
[b]Abilities[/b]: Rocky is capable of lifting twice his body weight with a bit of effort. Being from a heavy gravity world has also gifted the Skälen with startling speed when he's placed in an environment with "normal" gravity. The trade off for this is that living on a high oxygen rock means that he can get short of breath very quickly
[b]Skills[/b]: As with all adult members of his race Rocky is an experienced hunter and is capable of tracking and bringing down nearly anything around his size in short order. His hulking form paired with natural weaponry makes him a formidable fighter as well. That is if one could consider "rip and tear until it stops moving" fighting. 

[b]Backstory[/b]: There's not really much to say: Rocky was simply another guy that found a calling as merc and was stationed on Kilik station

[b]Personality[/b]: Rocky is a fairly laid back and amiable individual in spite of the fact that looking at him often gives people the impression that he'll eat your face for insulting him. He knows full well that he's not exactly the smartest or friendliest looking guy that a person will meet, but he tries to make up for it by following his orders to the best of his abilities or otherwise helping wherever and whenever he can, provided of course that he still receives his payments on time. Slow to anger but even slower to calm, it's ill advised to get in Rocky's way once he's on the war path.

[b]Other[/b]: Rocky received his nickname due to his distinctively rough voice. Think Kevin Grevioux if he'd just spent the entire day smoking cigars and gargling nails.
