Description
Name: Jake Apollo

Nicknames: Snowflake, Pinky

Species: Poleepkwa (commonly called prawns)

Gender: Hermaphrodite (though preferably male)

Occupations: Scavenger, tinkerer, engineer, artist

Height: 6'11

Defining Features: Albinism, marked by some damage and cracks in the shell and carapace. Wears an ivory loincloth and brilliant red legwarmers. Has a little bit of a 'mane' of filamentous hair on the back of the neck, going down the shoulders. He is also missing a toe on his left foot.

Likes: Cat food, easily bribed with it, like most prawns. He loves collecting shiny things, jewelry, tools, feathers, flowers, bones, oddities, and trinkets, all kinds of useless things. He enjoys time to himself and is rather solitary, and likes to draw in his journals and create things. He also likes rain and mirrors, easily fascinated by his reflection.

Dislikes: Humans, he for one is terrified of them, and he tries to keep as far away and out of their business as he can. He also doesn't like fighting or confrontation, and is easily intimidated. He doesn't like open areas, either, he feels exposed.

Personality: Jake, in a nutshell, is timid, submissive, obedient, and well-tempered. He doesn't anger easily, but is also somewhat difficult to please. He is low-maintainance and undemanding, and at first glance appears secretive and fearful, which he certainly can be. Jake doesn't like change, and most certainly doesn't like humans. Around humans, he tries to be as polite and compliant as he can be, and tries not to invoke their wrath. He can be a little sensitive sometimes, but he tries not to be too much of a bitch. He's extremely intelligent, an aspiring dreamer and scientist, and his greatest passion is to learn and create. For this, his living space is decorated with his creations, and he is often kept under a watchful eye because of his incredible capability and building savviness, but also, this ability has granted him a better job than most of his kind marooned in the district, as he repairs and assembles manmade electronics, vehicles, weapons, and other innovations to earn his keep.

Living Space: Jake Apollo resides in a small shack like most of his kind. It's a little larger, but still pitifully small, lacking television or air conditioning, which he finds no need for. It is decorated ceiling-to-floor with scrap parts and all kinds of things he finds, and the walls are covered with all manner of things. The only luxuries he has is just a shabby bed, a chair in which to sit on at his desk, and his only weapon, a scratched-up machete. Besides that, he lives humbly. He does have doors, but the place lacks true windows, and instead just has a square gap on one side, which he usually covers up with drapes because he likes his privacy, and also has no qualms about the heat, as the warmth is useful at night when it gets chillier. He gets cold easily.

Other: Jake is very fast and extremely agile, and he does have considerable strength, but is not as strong as the majority of his species. Jake also really likes his privacy. He speaks very fluent Poleepkwan and English, and little bits of Afrikaans and Zulu, as he likes to learn languages, which became a necessity upon arrival on Earth. His voice, like most, is the eerie clicking, scratchy 'prawn voice', but it is a little easier to comprehend his words because of the fact he speaks so fluently, which is definetely a good thing.
