[hider=Kyle Johansen]
Name: Kyle Johansen

Title/ rank: Lieutenant

Common name: Lt. Johansen

Species: Drocar/ human hybrid

Species description: 81% of his DNA is Reptilian.  He has inner eyelids to protect against glare and salt water.  His eyes can see into the infrared, so he is able to see heat signatures like an IR sensor.  While a human starts experiencing hypoxia at 5000 ppm atmospheric CO2 content he is able to breath normally at up to 12000 ppm. He can also breath normally with 10% lower oxygen content in the air than humans require.
The Drocar DNA isn't perfectly compatible with the human segments, though, which has left him with an autoimmune disorder.  He has to get monthly injections of immuno-nanites to prevent him from succumbing to disease, as it could be fatal.

Age: 17/ low 20s human equivalent

Gender: Male

Appearance: [img]http://paranoidechochamber.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/maxresdefault-1-724x1024.jpg[/img]
He is only 5'2" tall and usually wears a military jumpsuit like the engineers.

Personality: He likes learning about other cultures and species.  He's inquisitive and determined, but knows how to take a hint if you want him to leave you alone.

Skills: Linguistics (he has an extremely strong talent for this), Computers, electronic security, communications technology

Equipment: Nanotube weave armor, Dual type Ion pistol (can be set to stun to render people unconscious or kill to superheat the area where they are hit, severely injuring him)

Background: Two thousand years ago deep space scouts came across an almost ideal world in a trianary star system, the world which would eventually become the homeworld of the Empire of the Third Star. The CO2 levels were a bit high, the oxygen a bit low, and the planet a bit warm, but the planet already had native life on it, as well as the ruins of an alien settlement.  The planet was terraformed to be inhabitable by humans in only a few decades and scientists quickly began studying the ruins, soon followed by colonists.

The study of the ruins was remarkably slow, however, as even with two thousands years of study the xenoarcheologists were unable to decipher the most common language in the ruins.  One of those archeologists, Dr. Fredrick Johansen, had a radical plan, however.  They had genetic samples of seven of the reptilian aliens who lived here, taken from their graves.  He had a geneticist friend at Cyrian City University combine the DNA from multiple samples into a stable code, using Dr. Johansen's own DNA for the parts where they didn't have enough stable material, then grow the resulting being in an artificial womb.  Dr. Johansen adopted the child as his son, naming him Kyle and educated him in xenoarcheology and the native beings as soon as he was able to begin school.

Kyle learned and grew more quickly than a human child and, at the age of eight, was able to decipher enough of the alien language that the archeologists could decipher the rest.  The alien race's name, the Drocar, was taken from another race's language, as the Drocar written language is pictographic, not phenographic.  Kyle learned to decrypt the Drocar datacrystals found in the ruins, discovering a talent for it, and, as he was no longer needed at the ruins, his father allowed him to join the military's Deep Space division.  He hoped to find additional Drocar ruins or even a colony, though he knew that was unlikely.

He took his oath to the Empire of the Third Star and was assigned as communications officer aboard the RES Aurora.

Other stuff: Sometimes he has dreams of the planet the way it used to be, and the Drocar that used to live here.  Very rarely these dreams don't just stay on this world, and switch to another rainforest world.  The second world feels modern, somehow, and both types of dream feel entirely real, as if he was awake but in a different body.
