I suppose anything is possible, but I still have a hard time picturing a drell behaving like that -- or even being capable of possessing a sense of humor in that vein. Thane Krios is just one drell, of course, but I got the impression from him that they're all melancholic and spiritual, what with the eidetic memory and intense flashbacks. Drono is just... so... [i]human.[/i]

I actually kind of have to agree. There was a certain amount of uncanny valley with that last post, although I would point out Kolyat and Feron are both quite different from Thane, personality wise. Thane's a terminally ill living weapon that has an almost Samara-like acceptance for who he is and what he does, whereas Kolyat has some identity issues from not being able to relate to his absentee father and his own youth. Feron actually has a personality that can almost be described as a pluckish rogue where he has an easy-going charm and a fair deal of moral flexibility to make things suit his needs. In that sense, Drono is fine, but the very human slang can be somewhat jarring.
