I've been debating whether or not to get involved... Perhaps I'm foolish.Character Description
Name: Molybdenum(Unidentified Foreign Organism)
Molybdenum is a rare sentient alien. His consciousness is a fragment of his home planet's gaseous boron atmosphere and has been separated away from the main body within a containment suit that houses a fossilised skeleton of a fugitive. If the gas is diffused out of the suit, his localised consciousness will cease to be (death).
Sex: N/A
Age: The resident skeleton is thought to be upwards of 200 years old. But his localised consciousness has only been separate from the main contingent for under 2 years.
Reason for being on the ship: The Kiellar rebel pirate captain known as Lorthrac crash landed on Molybdenum's home planet at an unknown time around the fragmentation of the Kiellar command. He is believed to have died on impact. When official contact was made with the planet, survey drones identified his mostly fossilised skeleton based on dental scans when it was seen moving around seemingly trying to communicate with the automated drones. The Dhasath exploration ship found this very strange but realised they could cash in his bounty. In order to preserve the skeleton's mobility they captured it in a slightly modified brig EVA suit and they shipped him off planet hastily. He was transferred onto the next suitable Mazdhul prison transport ship. The sentience known as Molybdenum only formed sometimes after the Containment Suit was placed around Lorthrac's remains. All he has known so far are the bowels of a prison transport ship. He has some very vague understanding of where he came from.
Appearance: A clunky humanoid spacesuit. The helmet is fused into the sternum plates. The tinted visor is normally black reflective, but in the right light you can make out skull clouded by dark gas. Within the mouthpiece of the visor is an gaslock that houses translator nanites and a Comms system to facilitate his communication.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Skills: The relative pressure within his suit is several atmospheres of Caldera-3 meaning he is capable of lifting massive weights. He doesn't need to eat or drink. His "skin" is as durable as a spacesuit, because that's what it is. He is a very fast learner and highly adaptable because he has had to learn how to survive a completely alien environment for the past 3 years. He is naturally space proof in his current state, and he doesn't need to worry about suffocating or drowning. He also doesn't possess any organs or tissue to be affected by radiation or thermal stress (the main worries of energy weapons, though the kinetic energy may still knock him about, and the massive blast from Ragon weaponry would probably blow a big hole is his suit.)
Weaknesses: Massively susceptible to puncture damage. If his suit seal is broken, he will die within seconds. He spends more than half of his time in a catatonic sleep-like state. He is an alien living in an alien world, his social skills are incredibly basic; he doesn't understand simple concepts like currency or ethics. In fact, he struggles to understand most abstract concepts like pain, death, individuality, empathy, and he is completely unaware of the scale of the universe.
If you aren't looking for this sort of character, I get it. If anyone knows the inspiration, I'll be very impressed with how niche you are.

There are some minor issue regarding continuity that we can work out in a bit, but my bigger issue is that the app doesn't quite address what this character's deal is. What's their motivation exactly? What's do you see yourself possibly writing this character as or for? I'm not asking you to solidify on a character arc out of the gate, but I don't see a narrative hook, either personally or with the group.
Ohh, this looks neat! Was Farscape an inspiration or is it just a co-incidence? You certainly have my interest! I do have a question for making a character. Are minor cybernetics allowed? I have an idea for a character, and it involves him having a neural assistant cybernetic and a mechanical leg.
With neural cybernetic, the concept of it is like a sort of assistant implant in his head to help overcome brain damage, so to speak. The idea was that he got into a terrible accident at one point that left him damaged enough that he had to get an implant in his mind to act as a replacement for the part of his brain that was damaged. It's also why he has a mechanical leg, because the accident also left him needing amputation in his right leg. It doesn't give him anything that's more of an advantage over anyone purely organic, but rather simply exists for flavour.

I'd love to get into this! I was a little unsure of some details when writing him out. Feedback/criticism is gladly accepted.
IDK if there's a discord or some such but I'm only available for contact on here.
