Sekt Kedas
Sector | 16 | Female | Nezumi
Name: Sect "Sector" Kedas
Gender: Female
Age: 160
Race: Nezumi (Ratfolk, ect)
Height: 3'8"
Weight: 67 lbs
Role: Mechanic
Personality: Sector very much embodies the spirit of a nezumi and mechanic or tinkerer. Impetuous and impatient, Sector seems to constantly be on the move and looking for things that interest her. Nearly everything is faced with childlike enthusiasm, which has the clever little rat underestimated with great frequency. She can be a bit... loud, and near manic at times, rarely stopping to explain how her mind jumped from point A to point J, or the steps in between. Or maybe even what started her on point A to begin with.
Weapon(s):
•Corona Pulse Rifle - A relatively common pulse rifle, with the ability to interface with the Near-AI Sector has created.
•ArcCaster Pistol - A simple pistol that is utilized to stun a target rather than causing lethal damage. Also customized with the ability to inerface with Sector's Near-AI.
Talent(s):
Sector is
very talented at taking things apart and putting them back together. Or putting them back together
better, or in general bodging things together to make them work for some indeterminate amount of time. This extends to spaceships and their systems. She's
also a competent drone builder, though doesn't build drones very often.
Enhancement(s):
•S.P.A.R.K. - Sector's Near-AI, installed directly into her head. She's almost constantly tinkering with and working on the Near-AI, trying to improve it. The Near-AI interfaces with the couple guns she carries, improving her accuracy immensely and feeding her vital stats on her target(s), and also has some built in knowledge repositories regarding computers (hardware and software) and engineering mostly.
•Cybernetic Left Eye - Another piece of S.P.A.R.K.'s tech, it helps mostly with Sector's ability to target. It functions as a camera, and is always recording, as well as possessing modes for dark or low-light environments.
•Cybernetic Left Hand - Her left hand, and a good portion of her forearm, has been replaced with cybernetics, with the main bonus being that they allow her to directly interface with computers and the like (assuming they have the same kind of ports as she does installed). Her fingers store mini-tools suitable for quite a few engineering tasks, ranging from screw drivers to a mini torch.
Abilities:
Sector's memory is pretty darn good,
mostly due to S.P.A.R.K.'s help. With the Near-AI recording everything and indexing it, if Sector's heard a bit of information, she can probably recall it given a few moments time.
Flaw(s): Sector doesn't do well with going slow and if someone can't keep up, she's pretty likely to just leave them in the dust regardless of the consequences. She seems to forget that other people don't have a Near-AI helping them in their heads. There's also some pretty serious stigmas against Nezumi as far as humans go, due to them resembling earthen rodents. Given a rifle or pistol that isn't
her gun, Sector isn't anywhere near as good of a shot. She needs the cybernetic help S.P.A.R.K. can provide by being interfaced with the guns.
Like(s): Taking things apart | New Tech | Mint-Flavored
anything. Especially chocolate, or tea. Or hot chocolate, oooo | New People
Dislike(s): Physics | Being Planet Side | Power Outages | Data Corruption | Too Much Order
History: Sector was born on Earth in a Nezumi warren, crowded and swarming and chaotic and warm. It was definitely a great place for a young Nezumi to grow up, with plenty of pieces of tech for her to rip apart and rebuild and destroy. Sometime during her younger years, she ended up
starting to build S.P.A.R.K., but it would take quite some time before S.P.A.R.K. was actually functional.
She had the opportunity to go to a relatively major university on Earth, taking classes in engineering. When she was about 12, Sector finally had the chance to go on a space ship. She promptly decided that if she had her way, she'd almost never be planet side again and shoved herself into her studies, moving more towards practical mechanic work than the engineering-building-and-designing route she'd been taking before. She made some great advancements with S.P.A.R.K. during this time, and she actually built the combat modules into the Near-AI more as practice and a tech demo than any actual need for them herself.
From there, it was as simple as Sector being good at what she did. Ships seemed to "speak" to her, though realistically it was more just that she could directly connect to the ship itself and work with S.P.A.R.K. to diagnose the problems or potential problems and fix them swiftly. That, and rat ingenuity that no one could ever deny.
Her interest in drones came along the same time. Even with being smaller than a human, Sector couldn't always get into everything and occasionally an extra set of hands was needed.
When the S.S. Destiny was announced, Sector decided immediately she
had to be on the ship when it left Earth, and it looks like she managed to get there.
Extra: The Nezumi are based heavily on Starfinder's
Ysoki.
They are small humanoid rats who stand at most about 4 feet tall. They walk upright, have fur, long incisors, and partially prehensile tails that make them pretty good in zero gravity. Their hands are small, with long fingers good for dexterous work, and their noses are pretty sharp. They reach adulthood at about 10 years old.
They originate from a planet about half the size of Earth, with most of the planet's surface being arid deserts or more rocky mountains, called Akiton. The planet use to be a major mining planet, but the resources have pretty much run dry.
That doesn't seem to keep their culture from being chaotic at best, and the Nezumi have done a pretty good job of spreading themselves within other cultures, with Nezumi picking up roles and societal niches other races view as unpleasant.
