Their history, language, and culture has largely been erased in a tragic series of exploitative genocides.[/color] [u][b]Details:[/b][/u][color=Cyan][hider=Auran]The Ro'om Ktaballyt are a Colonial organism comprised of Aurora crystals. Highly prized for their innate ability to grow large Aurora crystal complexes. Not much is known about how they originally lived in the wild, or their original culture due to the fact that upon their discovery their culture and society was almost completely eradicated by megacorporations exploiting them as a source of Aura in massive concentration camps. Due to the fact they in effect do not age, they can live for incredibly long periods of time, and reproduce incredibly slowly. Due to this it is unknown whether their race will ever be capable of recovering fully, if at all. An incredibly interesting aspect of them is that on their home planet the atmosphere consisted largely of noble gases, this meant carbon life struggled to evolve, instead being outmatched by silicon life. This means the sentience of the Ro'om Ktaballyt is far more comparable to an AI or other sentient computers. The evolutionary solution to the massive data quantities that were needed for silicon life to evolve in this manner was to use the unique and massive data-transferral properties of Aura. Due to its prolifence on their home planet the atmosphere was heavily infused with incredibly fine Aura dust this mix is called Bhduoi and holds a certain level of holiness in what little Ro'om Ktaballyt culture is still intact. If they do not have sufficient concentrations of Bhuduoi their mental capabilities will rapidly decline until the cessation of all mental activity whatsoever. A horrible death. The Bhuduoi also allows them to share information and communicate with other Ro'om Ktaballyt processing the same network of Bhduoi. They do not hold any form of unique spoken or written language, instead it was believed by historians that originally they would have communicated with each other via the Bhduoi. What little elements they do have of a spoken language was both largely wiped out and also believed to have been developed from loan words exclusively to communicate with a very low class civilisation of carbon life forms that had developed on their homeworld's moon. Now long extinct, almost nothing of them is known. This means the Ro'om Ktaballyt require a special envirosuit to live, in foreign atmospheres. They do not respire in the same way as carbon life forms so if envirosuit security is maintained the gas mix only needs to be renewed rarely. As a race they are incredibly rare, and those that still exist tend to keep their heads under the radar due to their incredible value, and many do not consider them fully sentient (a dangerous and racist belief).[/hider][/color] [h3][color=Yellow]Crew Skills & Equipment[/color][/h3][u][b]Equipment & Augments:[/b][/u][color=violet]A brief list of any notable bits of gear or equipment that others might notice on your character.

[/list][/color] [h3][color=Violet]Crew Details[/color][/h3] [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [color=violet] Parma-Violet himself is an unremarkable cluster of white crystals in a cloudy gas. However his envirosuit is a pale purple colour, humanoid, with 5 fingers and standing around 6'8 set incredibly broad. His envirosuit is covered in graffiti of all kinds of nature, and is draped in many different fabrics and pelts. Notably a shabby regal purple cloak. His suit has no temperature control unit, so he has to maintain his optimal functioning temperature manually.[/color] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [color=hotpink]Parma-Violet is an old soul, quite literally. And tends to keep a calm calculating head on at most times. He is (quite rightly) incredibly distrustful, and wary of strangers. However he has a soft spot for children and youths of any race. He is incredibly loyal to his friends and colleagues, and is very happy to talk and offer some of his extensive knowledge or advice. He is incredibly hesitant to get into confrontations of any kind, due to them drawing attention to him. He is also incredibly wary of any form of authority that he is unfamiliar with, especially corporations or government. He is also fairly religious and incredibly protective of his remaining culture, and spends his free time investigating what little evidence of his species is left and documenting it as extensively as he can. He is desperately searching for another of his species to reproduce with, given he believes he may be coming to the end of his life cycle. [/color] [b][u]History:[/u][/b] [color=cyan]By his estimate the oldest living Ro'om Ktaballyt and though he does not know exactly how long they live for, he estimates he is nearing the end, the how close he is he is not sure. When he was very young the exploitation of his planet began, him and his community were promptly forced into a concentration camp to labour until they died of exhaustion. Fortunately for them their camp was liberated in a slave revolt weeks after the occupation began. Him and a collection of other Ro'om Ktaballyt were smuggled off planet on pirate freighters. Hours later the liberated camps were eradicated by Vacuum bombs. Thus the true subjugation of the Ro'om Ktaballyt began. Parma-Violet was brought to an abandoned supply depot by his smugglers and left, as instructed. This is the location he and his community would be reunited, instead he was left there, isolated, scavenging the small outpost for a means to repair the comms array so he could hail a freelance freighter. Eventually after 50 years a small smuggler ship landed to hide from some system authority ships. Upon which he made contact for the first time in decades, his common skills limited to what he'd learnt from the remaining media upon the station he proposed working for them in return for passage off the god forsaken outpost. Since then he has worked for about 200 years gallivanting around and trying to find out the fate of others of his species. He took up residence as crew of the Guernica long before it was ever known as the Guernica, and he has watched crew members come and go and adventures pass over, but has decided he has found his home. He has not dared return to his home planet, for fear either the grief or privateers would kill him.[/color] [b][u]Quirk:[/u][/b] [color=yellow]Strangely enough, despite being an alien lifeform Parma appears to have taken quite the shine to Nicotine at some point in time, especially Tobacco. It appears to have different, strong effects on his kind. Including but not limited to improved motor skills, and at higher dosages hallucinogenic properties. He smokes via a specially made filter port built into his face plate. He can often be found idly puffing on a kretek or enjoying his Hookah during his free time.[/color] [b][u]Turmoil:[/u][/b] [color=violet] Parma-Violet is desperate to preserve his kind in some way, and spends massive amounts of time doing exactly that. Additionally, though most know very little of the Ro'om Ktaballyt, those who do would be more than happy to butcher him and sell off his valuable envirosuit, crystalline body, and Bhduoi.[/color][/hider] Thanks for the opportunity to make a character for this really cool RP! And thanks for giving me a chance, even if I was a little late to the draw. :) [right][@vietmyke][/right]
