Ok, so here's a Lanius character whom resembles the one from my fanfic, but is mostly different. Because he's a Lanius. They follow the scrap. Plus it's a named character.
Name: Translator
Gender: None (Pronouns are Male)
Race: Lanius
Looks: White metallic skin
Personality: Very talkative. Some might find it annoying, others find it interesting to know there's a Lanius who wishes to be social.
History(Optional): Translator was seen an a somewhat okay mechanic on the Lanius fleets but he spent most of his time studying alien cultures and learning their languages. These were somewhat useful since most of the fleets were in hibernation but his bosses didn't like him so they gave him to a Federation ship in exchange for some scrap. He learned a whole lot about computers and life support technology on that ship before again being transferred to other Federation vessels depending on their needs.
Now he's serving on the SBN Interceptor after an incident involving an Engi virus and his "debugging" through absorbing the computers that bothered him. This brought the Lanius to the Federation's attention and his dealings with computers and artificial intelligences.
Some think Translator is onboard the AI ship in case it goes rogue and needs to be taken down but others think that the anaerobic being just seems friendly enough. Some say he harbours regrets over what happened between him and the Engi virus...
Profession(Role on the ship): Repairs (mostly hangs around Life Support and Hacking)
I was thinking Translator has a hidden agenda or is essentially an insurance policy but he really doesn't want to kill an AI even if they tingle his senses constantly.
Also, is Life Support going to be a serious issue that Translator might have to be regulated outside?
