[i][b]Character Description[/b][/i]

   [b] Name:[/b] Flirn Kolvlaki

   [b] Species:[/b] Human

    [b]Sex:[/b] Yes

   [b] Age:[/b] 27

    [b]Reason for being on the ship:[/b] Flirn was unfortunately in the wrong place in the wrong time, all with the wrong people. He worked for an organization as a scrapper, helping to salvage space junk, scrap ships, and other such things. Unfortunately for him, he was completely unaware that his work turned out to be highly illegal, with the higher ups in his company taking advantage of his lack of awareness. He was co-erced into doing things of dubious legality, and other things being very much illegal. He was caught transporting highly illegal contraband to Earth, unaware of what he was transporting. While did not know of the crimes he was unwittingly committing and certainly would not have committed them if he were aware of it, he found himself on a prison ship, ready to be shipped off to a labour camp.

    Appearance: Flirn is a deceptively muscular man. He is tall and lithe, standing at around 5 feet and 8 inches. While his body seems thin and weak, he carries a strength to him due to his work in heavy labour. His skin is pale and his eyes are a bright green colour. He keeps himself clean and well trimmed. A small moustache covers his top lip and a goatee covers his chin. His hairstyle is short and well groomed, often slicked back in a sort of style that would fit a business salesman. His hair colour is a dark brown. On the right side of his head, a metal implant sticks out with a set of three indicator lights. The first light is often blank while the second and third are green under normal conditions. However, when he is highly stressed or undergoing other such poor mental conditions, the first indicator light turns orange and the final light turns yellow. When he is badly injured, the first two indicator lights turn red and the last turns orange, however when he is unconscious and wounded, the last light is red. The implant however is entirely cosmetic. It serves no purpose other than to indicate mood and vitals. His right leg is synthetic, being a robotic limb covered in a synthetic layer of rubber in order to emulate skin. It has a layer of heated fluid as lubricant, in order to make it seem more like an organic limb rather than something artificial. Across the right side of his torso, he has a few jagged scars and a section of discoloured flesh. Covering his eyes is a sort of yellow-tinted opaque visor. Though he would never say the reasoning for the visor, it's safe to assume it's simply to hide his eyes.


[i][b]Strengths and Weaknesses[/b][/i]

    Skills: 

[b]Higher than average strength:[/b] Flirn has worked in depth with heavy labour. He has worked years lifting heavy materials, working with bulky equipment, and breaking apart scrap. As such, he has toned muscular definition and can more effectively carry out actions requiring strength.

[b]Skill with industrial equipment:[/b] Due to his work as a scrapper, he has intimate knowledge of industrial equipment. From large-scale industrial machinery to handheld tools. He also has quick learning in new equipment, finding it easy to learn how to safely operate equipment that's otherwise new to him.

[b]Environmental resistance:[/b] Due to a great deal of exposure and adaptation in harsh environments, he has a strong resistance to environments and climates that might otherwise give a typical human difficulty. Though his cold resistance might be lacking, he has a great resistance to heat especially and may find his tolerance to heat stroke may make him an excellent survivalist in extreme conditions. However, he's not infallible. In incredibly harsh conditions, especially cold and/or damp environments, he may not survive as well.

   [i][b] Weaknesses: [/b][/i]
[b]Intellectually compromised:[/b] After extensive brain damage, Flirn finds himself struggling with highly complex thought and multi-level analysis. While he's mostly recovered from the injury, he still remains partially brain damaged. He was going to undergo his final neurosurgery treatment, however, being convicted as a criminal meant he was able to fully heal. He especially finds paradoxes and such things highly confusing.

[b]Socially impaired:[/b] Flirn struggles heavily with communicating effectively and may even experience extreme social anxiety when in a large group. He struggles to communicate the words in his head and can stutter extensively. Occasionally, he may lock up in speech and be unable to speak entirely until he manages to restore his composure.

[b]Pacifistic tendencies:[/b] Ever since the incident that lead to his brain damage, he's turned pacifistic. The thought of violence can make him sick and he tries to avoid harming anything as much as possible. If he truly must commit an act of violence in order to protect himself, he will, but he may become reclusive afterwards. He's strictly against violence and has a negative opinion of those who frequently commit acts of violence. He is very capable of defending himself, though he's incredibly unlikely he will do so.

Backstory: [/b][/i]
Flirn was born into a rather poor, insignificant family. Though they tried their best to provide to him, he learned self-dependence from an early age. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, but his family moved to the Glasgow, Scotland when he was still a young boy, thanks to a family friend who helped them fund the immigration. His mother was plagued with health conditions and so his father worked himself to the bone to support his family. Flirn had an older brother who began working as early as he legally could, and a younger sister who was more of a freeloader than anything. His father worked for a ship parts manufacturer and brother worked in a food processing plant.

Though he loved his family very much, when he was 16, he left to go find employment and make a name for himself. He always had a fascinating for hard work and manual labour. Eventually, he managed to get a job in a warehouse hauling cargo. For a while, he felt very satisfied with his job, the exhausting labour leaving him feeling good with himself. However, when he 20, a mysterious figure offered him a new opportunity. A job as a salvage specialist, with more benefits and better pay than his previous job. The situation was rather suspicious, but Flirn, being naive and far too trusting took the job.

After working for a year planet-side, he was able to prove himself in his profession and eventually was promoted to an orbital salvage specialist, being permitted to take a shuttle into space and salvage the plentiful scrap floating around the planet. Things went well for him and he enjoyed a few years of solid work, making a name for himself in the industry. It wasn't legal work of course, but he was blissfully unaware of such things. Unfortunately, everything changed when he was involved in a horrible industrial accident. While piloting a shuttle back down to the planet, he experienced a catastrophic systems failure. While he was able to pilot the shuttle into a grove of trees that helped reduce the impact, the resulting crash left him heavily damaged, with the right side of his body especially damaged. He lived, but required immediate surgery.

Following the incident, he had to get his right leg amputated and replaced with an advanced mechanical prosthetic. He also suffered severe brain trauma. Fortunately, due to his work, he was able to afford neural regrowth surgeries. However, due to the extensive nature of the damage, he had to undergo multiple treatments. His final treatment was scheduled, which was unfortunately never undergone. He suffered headaches occasionally and very bright lights caused him physical pain. He was forever changed from the incident. He went from a kind, intelligent young man to someone of compromised intelligence, somewhat of an anxious brute. While much of him was restored, they were never truly able to recover his mind to the state it was once at. He was still dedicated to wanting to help people, though his mind had changed drastically. Unfortunately for him, this lead to his employers taking advantage of him further. Once he recovered, he returned to work. He was given jobs with far more dubiously legal and outright illegal work, all while he was completely unaware as to how he was being taken advantage of. It wasn't long before the law caught up with him and the company he worked for, with many employees getting arrested. He never knew he was doing something so awful, for the poor bloke trusted people to his own detriment. He now heads for a labour camp, while being hurt of such a horrible betrayal.
