Name: Kek
Human Nickname: Cake
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Species: Alien / Quadrachian
Category: NPC (Citizen)
Career: Space Pirate / Thief / Menace, Official Co-Captain of the raider group called the Vultures
Appearance Description:
Most people don’t see Kek. Probably because they weren’t fucking looking where they’re going! She’s incredibly tiny and skinny, even for her species, fully grown at 4’5”ft. Her suit is adorable. The base is in silver, black and gold, with sharp cat ears. Base aside, she looks like she was chucked at a fabric and jewelry store and decided she’d leave with the contents. She likes shiny things, and sticking those shiny things in absurd ways to her suit. She will not stop until she’s jingling with every step she makes.
Her suit has many hidden pockets, and she will stuff them with things when no one’s looking. If one were to hang Kek upside down and shake her, a comical number of things will fall out.
Kek uses holograms of emojis on her helmet to show facial expressions. She can talk perfectly in English, but her accent is kind of thick, so some would think it wasn’t English in the first place. She has a squeaky voice. She chirps when she’s happy.
Kek is very obviously not human. She has four arms, wide hips and digitigrade legs. Underneath her suit, she has rich pink skin, four golden eyes and sharp teeth. As far as appearances go, she looks more like an anthromorphic spider than anything.
Personality Description:
Kek may be girly, but she’s no lady. She’s a pirate through and through – she’s rude, crude, and about as loud as they come. She’s the kind of hilarious fun-loving character you want in your parties, but just spending five minutes with her would let you know she’s not the type whose shoulder you cry on. Primarily, the only person Kek wants to please is herself.
Kek is greedy. Let’s get that out of the way now. Almost all of her actions are motivated by survival and greed. Kek didn’t have much as a child. Being a pirate gave her a lot of freedoms, and as a pirate, she’ll take as much as her tiny hands can hold. Kek may be fun to be with, but she won’t hesitate to blow your brains out for a particularly shiny necklace.
She has a lot of admirable traits. She’s passionate, fiercely independent, and holds a lot of inner strength. If you push her down, she’ll get right back up. She doesn’t get hurt easy, and assumes everyone else is the same way. She gets pretty pissy when people cry about damn simple things, in fact. She is very allergic to drama.
Remorse and pity are concepts she’s pretty unfamiliar of. Her species prioritizes survival above all else. They’re pests. People don’t have a problem killing her to clean a ship up, and likewise, Kek doesn’t have a problem hurting them. She doesn’t derive enjoyment in murder, but she loves the thrill of the fight. She’s known to prolong fights if they were particularly fun because, you know, she likes to see the scenery once in a while. If someone dies, well, too bad, so sad, can she loot the body?
While Kek is pretty confident about herself, she does have one insecurity, and it’s her status as a woman and a pest species. Kek doesn’t like being belittled for factors she can’t control. She doesn’t cry about it, though. She takes it as a challenge to make herself better. She’s of the belief that whining doesn’t help anybody. In life, you need to get good. If you don’t get good, you’re dead. There’s nothing complicated about that.
Species Abilities:
Quadrachians are typically considered as pests by galactic authorities. Originating from the planet Zorg, the primitive Quadrachians smuggled themselves into the first scientists’ ship that set foot on their home planet and populated themselves in every dumpsite, cargo ship, and desolate area possible. Although they were low in the eyes of the alien council, many poorer species look to their mechanical expertise for cheaper prices. Give a Quadrachian a scrap heap and she’ll build you a robot.
As far as physical traits go, Quadrachians are small in stature, possess four arms, and digitigrade legs. They tend to be flexible, athletic and acrobatic, able to sneak into small areas of traveling ships. They possess a lot of lower body strength meaning they can jump up to 12ft, pack a dangerous kick, and land from high buildings safely on their feet. They have a sturdy stomach, and are able to eat garbage to survive.
When it comes to reproduction, Quadrachians have two biological sexes. Of note is their females. Females are highly fertile, and they can get pregnant from fellow Quadrachians and other species. The mixed alien babies adapt traits from their biological fathers. Some have theorized that the reason the Quadrachians evolved to be so smart is because they mated with higher thinking lifeforms and developed stronger traits from that.
Quadrachians aren’t usually smart, but they’ve evolved to be good in combat, languages, and mechanical engineering. They don’t know any scientific calculations or nothing. They just pick up tools, fiddle with things, and learn through that.
Quadrachians’ skins tend to be softer than humans. They’re fairly easy to kill when caught, and are prone to being very sickly.
Specialized Suit – Kek has a specialized suit she robbed from space cops and repurposed for herself, because she’s a badass like that. The suit can glow and give her x-ray vision. It also comes with several perks.
First, it has an advanced filter that can convert any type of air or liquid into oxygen, so Kek can travel through heavily irradiated, naturally uninhabitable or simply swim underwater and breathe just fine using her suit.
Second, she installed a computer program inside her suit. It acts like a normal laptop with the helmet being the screen, save for a couple of special perks she installed into it. Kek has a special cloaking device installed in the suit, but it’s different from normal cloaking devices. It can’t turn her physically invisible, but it can cloak her presence in surveillance devices, like x-ray vision, heat detection, cameras, and motion sensors. Its weakness is, of course, people with eyes will be able to see her, but she’s nigh undetectable around every kind of specialized surveillance technology.
The suit has several weaknesses. It is not armor, and can be shredded very easily with a simple knife. When the central wires are cut, the cloaking and the oxygen will cease working until Kek manually patches it up. In addition to that, someone specialized in computers will be able to hack into her suit and shut the features down. Despite the dangers, Kek is rarely seen without her suit.
Kek also installed a couple of holographic drones into her suit that she can summon at any time.
Artificial Drones – Kek has two holographic drones, named Tiki (blue with a bow) and Kiki (pink with a tie), that she can summon using her drones. The drones are a special software program she installed into her suit. The drones are formed with lasers and hard light technology, and manifest in little floating balls of light. They can perform three operations: surveillance, hacking, and combat.
As surveillance drones, Kek can send them out to explore areas and scan areas. The drones feed the images to Kek directly to program windows in her helmet. The scanning can send her information about the life forms and the technology in an area. For example, if she were to scan an area with a cat, even if it’s dark, her database would tell her that the life form present is a cat. Of course, this comes with several kinks. She can only send drones at a radius of 6 kilometers, and it can only scan around 10ft of itself. It can float, but it can also be detected and it can’t pass through walls. The scans are not subtle. A harmless laser technology will sweep the scanned area. Additionally, she can only search information about a creature that’s available on the Intergalactic Internet. She wouldn’t know anything about primitive alien species.
Hacking is a little simpler. Kek can leave a drone at a panel while it hacks into it. The drones can hack into almost anything except specially encrypted databases that would threaten to destroy the information if forcibly hacked. The time hacking will be proportionate to how difficult the system is. If it were a simple system, the drones can do it for 10 minutes. If it’s a difficult one, it would take days, weeks even. The hacking is not subtle. The drone will be physically present at the panel the entire time, and it can be destroyed when whacked hard enough. Should the drone be shut down during the course of the hacking, it would have to repeat from the start.
Lastly, combat. The drones can fire lasers at targets. It has about the same range as surveillance: 6ft radius, shoot targets within 10ft. The lasers aren’t deadly, but impact is the equivalent of a third degree burn. It can shoot ten times before it has to cool down for ten minutes. They have an automatic aiming device. Often, they aim at people’s hands so they let go of their weapons.
The drones are very easily destroyed. She can summon both instantaneously, but when destroyed, it takes a full hour before she can summon them again. The drones can be hacked into by outside sources.
The drones are very cute.
Biography:
Kek was born on a cargo ship that transported large amounts of metals from planet to planet. She lived her fairly short childhood in their vents along with her siblings. It was there Kek was taught that survival was her species’ highest priority. She learned to be subtle, quick and agile to survive. For the most part, they ate boxes, anything tasty inside, and garbage, and everything was fine. When she was three, her brother accidentally ate poison they put in the boxes and dropped dead and rotted in the ground. This disgusted the cargo crew. After they delivered the packages, they cleared out the whole ship with poison gas to kill the vermin. All of her family and other Quadrachians dropped dead, but Kek stole one of the people’s suits and made a run for it.
She was stranded in a foreign planet, cold and alone. At first, people tried to kill her, because she was an overgrown rat. But then, a group of slavers took her away. Kek was prettied up and sold to the highest bidder. The businessman put her on a leash, which she happily gnawed when no one was looking, and brandished her as an exotic pet. Domesticized vermin! they called her. She learned their languages during her stay. She couldn’t really complain, because she got a nice place to sleep and good food to eat.
One day, raiders, known as The Bonepickers, got ahold of the businessman’s ship and seized all his stuff. Everyone got killed, but Kek, bearing no loyalties or affection for the man, gave herself up. The raiders knew that Quadrachians were too cowardly to turn on them, so they took her in. There, she learned to familiarize herself technology. It didn’t take long for her to be one of the mechanics in the ship, which she was proud of.
But Kek wanted more from that. Still holding onto the suit that saved her for years, she worked on it as a pet project. It took her a ridiculous amount of scraps and money, but when she was twenty-eight, she finally completed it. The raiders were impressed with the technology, and promoted her to get on the field to see if she got what it takes. Of course, some WISE GUY decided to turn on their group and threw everybody out of an airlock. That man was none other than Nero, Captain Shithead himself.
The stragglers were angry. Kek didn’t know what to do at this point. She acted on instincts, and seeing that despite the stragglers’ numbers, Nero was winning. She wanted to survive. She killed the guys with him, then proceeded to yell his ear off about pulling a stupid ass move like this. They started the notorious pirate group called the Vultures together.
Seven years! She’s been working for this fucker for seven years! The pirate life agreed with her surprisingly well, and having the deluxe Captain bedroom didn’t hurt things. At the moment, Kek isn’t planning on changing careers soon.
