His race comes from the universe's dumping ground (think something like the Void, from Loki) and are made from "garbage" rather than being born. So he has the distinction of being part steam engine and part used car salesman, combined with a little dash of Zeus' deific essence, along with another assortment of various things (he doesn't actually resemble these objects - he's a humanoid with metallic, jet-black skin). His people have (from a human perspective) synesthesia, and therefore taste what we perceive as touch and feel what we consider audible. As a result, they value unique experiences over wealth. They'd rather run their hands over an old, pitted, bent tin spoon than have an unblemished spoon made of pure gold.He's the equivalent of a fighter (the difference being that his armor and weapons are mostly scrap - his primary weapons are train spikes). However, because of his race he's one of the most enjoyable characters I've had the pleasure to role play. His personality isn't outlandish or anything, in fact he's usually very reserved - but his alien outlook is just so satisfying to portray and sink into, particularly after a long week.</blockquote>
