I have more on my proverbial list but I'm not typing this all out AGAIN.
I am up for suggestions.

Innis Is the son of a pair of musicians that haven't reached mainstream culture, but still earn enough to live quite comfortably. While not outstandingly talented himself, His parents have been giving him extensive voice training, and have allowed him to make an appearance in a few of their singles as harmony. When not behind a mic, Innis can be found manning the soundboard and occasionally keyboard while his parents perform. Innis's home is among the larger ones in his rural town, with two stories, bright white paint, plenty of land, and a sound insulated recording studio in the basement.

The family has lived in their current town for about a year now. The family moved into the countryside for the freedom and atmosphere it provided, as well as keeping their instrumental practice away from complaining neighbors.
At first his parents homeschooled him, but eventually relented to the boy's need to be social, and unleashed the hyperactive child on the local school system.

Innis is eternally cheerful, a bit flighty, and nearly always smiling. His early exposure to music production translates directly into a joy for song and dance, and he prefers the electronic heavy style of his parents. He has a tendency to daydream, causing some of his school work to suffer, but he does decent enough. His parents are in their mid 30's.

The Minnow are a somewhat primitive race that largely reside on their home world, which is now a colony world to earth. They're exceptionally talented at stealthy maneuvers, making them excellent hitch-hikers. Due to this, they have spread like wild fire over the civilized worlds, making a foothold on nearly every inhabited space in the galaxy. Fortunately for humans, they're not particularly dangerous. In fact, an infestation of the diminutive creatures can often be a good thing, as the collectivist creatures work to ensure the ship stays in good health for everyone's sake.
The race is small, light blue or light grey, with scale-like patterns on their leathery skin, save for their stomach area which is near universally pure white and smooth as wet ice. The amphibious race sports collapsing fins on their humanoid lower legs and forearms, which allow them to swim at obscene speed, and can be used as weapons due to the razor sharp edges they gain when deployed fully.

Makani himself doesn't physically stand out too far from the rest of his egg-laying race, but generally has a strong affinity for working alien tech belonging to humans. possible scenarios for RPing with him could be crash landing on his planet prior to colonization, finding him on-board your ship, or simply starting from a station in space that he managed to work his way onto.
