Vaaka

Vaaka is an Adelaaran immigrant from Pasuoli. He worked as a Quintane fracturer for the Royal Mining Corps until jumping ship with his friend Scud Drakkar to join Galactic Express.

Appearance
Pasuolians are lizard-like creatures with smooth scales ranging from blues to greens to pale yellows. Red hues exist in rare cases, usually in the upper echelons of society due to a long tradition of holding them in high regard due to their rarity and perceived superiority. Richer Pasuolians will have their scales polished to a pristine shine, while most prefer a somewhat more subdued shine. They are usually quite tall and lanky, with four opposable fingers on each hand and two-clawed feet. They can sometimes sprout thin tendrils from their heads in varying lengths, colors, and thicknesses.

Vaaka has dark green scales and long black tendrils coming from the top of his head and cascading down the back of his neck. He typically wears a black pocketed vest and black pants, and will bundle up very tight in cold climates.

Background
Vaaka was born to a lower-middle class family on Pasuoli and lived an otherwise uneventful life. He has always felt like he was a supporting character in other peoples stories, and as a teenager it caused him some grief, but eventually he got over it and began reading a lot to learn various topics of interest. This eventually became an invaluable skill, his own deus ex machina. Unfortunately all that learning interfered with his schooling and he never got the chance to go to a Commonwealth school, instead going straight into the vocations. He signed up as a fracturer for the nearby Royal Mining Corps where he met Scud.

As a fracturer, his job was to fire a plasma mining laser into planetoid surfaces and free the liquid Quintane for the Collector ships to deliver to the refinery.
