UPDATES FOR ROUND 4!!

Name: Kinsey
Alias/Nickname: none officially, but Zol has nicknamed him Chungus or Lil Chungy.
Species: Kurri
Age: Human Equivalent 18-20ish
Height/Weight: 4 feet 2 inches at head, 400 lbs
Gender: Male
Reason for entering: Kinsey just wants to write a cool report. He does not really care what happens to Forte so long as it’ll make him look good on paper and give himself brownie points to his superiors. Kinsey is a spectator in the Labyrinth.
Strengths:
Fast in spurts. He’s got a lotta legs and they come in handy. He can also lift and hold up his front legs and sprint on only his hind ones for faster speeds, he just cannot do it but for short distances.
Fairly heavy body. He can sit on you and it might not be very comfortable. Could theoretically crush smaller individuals. I mean, if you’re into that.
Abilities:
Kurri have advanced intelligence, being a space-faring race. They have gathered an abundance of information over the centuries and, though Kinsey is still young, he completed most of his education and thus knows plenty of things that could come to his aid.
He always carries a small tablet with him which has a wealth of information logged within it he can pull up at any time. HOWEVER, most of the information resides in a database he cannot access when strayed too far from home base, rendering much of it useless. It still has a small sampling of data he can use and programs for logging daily activities and such. The device, unfortunately, must also be charged eventually, so he uses it sparingly during his time at the tournament.
Weaknesses:
Poor stamina. He can’t run for long periods and can’t do much physical activity for as long either.
Very weak upper half. He is not strong in the slightest and is not capable of lifting or doing much of anything with his arms or upper back.
Thin skin. Kurri skin is soft and easy to puncture.
Sensitive/poor vision. Surprisingly, kurri see best in glaring sunlight, and anything less than that is not as easy to work with.
Sensitive to temperature shifts. Kurri are designed for dry, warm climates and do best in them, and anything else is uncomfortable. They are used to spending most of their time indoors and being exposed to various temperate changes can cause them to become disoriented, fatigued, or faint depending.
Personality:
Kinsey wants to be special, and in a way, he already thinks he IS special. A bit overconfident with a competitive edge, he wants HIS reports to be the BEST reports and wants to be looked up to and respected. The reality of the situation is he is NOT special and his reports nothing to write home about.
His desire and longing to be a stand out often result in him having an apparent lack of empathy. Someone gets hurts? That’ll look great in my logs! Bird boy gets stuck in a maze of life and death? This’ll be the document of the year!
To put it simply, he is an unintentional asshole.
History:
Kinsey follows in the footsteps of every other kurri of his section, with his purpose being to research and document the native Rozenich his species is currently co-inhabiting with. He has only recently completed his education and training and has been moved on to hands-on tasks, which includes being “assigned” a rozenich. His job is to follow the alien creature around and create daily logs of their activities to file away for research. Unluckily for him, he was not a favorite of his section and was assigned the least-appealing rozenich of the group. He’s not happy about it.
Relationship with Forte:
His relationship with Forte is not great. Kinsey was only assigned to Forte because nobody wanted to document “that one dying rozenich” (in reality, it was probably also due to his overseers not trusting him with anyone else). Kinsey tolerates Forte only because he knows better things wait for him in the future if he can succeed with him. In the meantime, he encourages Forte to try new things, if only to spice up his otherwise mundane reports. The two butt heads constantly because both think they are right/smarter than the other.
Likes:
Taking notes.
Observing and learning new things.
Showing off fun facts that will make him seem cool.
Mr. Roboto
Dislikes:
Forte. Dumb dying birdman.
Not being validated.
Other:
The contents of his bag are as follows: a full vial of medication for Forte along with needles, sample tubes for collecting random specimens he can study or bring back, his tablet screen, and an old-fashion notebook and pen. New! A replicated piece of golden metal from Mr. Roboto's ass.
When frustrated or angry, he will stomp his lil toes.
The medication he gives Forte can/will only be given in the morning every day (including before rounds). The medication is a concoction that assists with his auto-immune condition as well as provides a small energy boost (just enough to keep him from constantly laying around). It cannot be used more than once nor during rounds.
