"Why can't we ever do anything normally?!"

Hiro is a clever, though high-strung scavenger who spends their days gathering scrap with Avio and Medusoid. As of right now, they're currently living in Madouk's secret bunker on Ataraxia As the last of their kind - and one lost by their family, at a young age, on a crowded tourist-trap planet - they grew up selling trinkets and artifacts, some genuinely rare, others... creatively marketed. This lifestyle was all they could think of to survive, and it taught them how to read people, outsmart them, and stay guarded.

They thrive with a blueprint in hand - ideally one they’ve spent days laying out, annotated with backup plans and color-coded everything. They are able to improvise when things go off the rails (and they do, more often than not); But expect a full commentary on how the mess could’ve been avoided in the first place. They overthink often, and it isn’t just habit, it's something they learned from years of hustling and a deep need to stay one step ahead... and it's kind of also just how they are.

Personality

Hiro is the kind of person who keeps an emergency plan for their emergency plan. Clever in quiet ways, they see things in angles no one else considers. If given time to prepare, they're confident and inventive in their approaches - if thrown into something unexpected, though, they won't crack under pressure, but they will be sure to complain with every moment of improvising another idea.

They’re deeply cautious, judgy without meaning harm, and far more empathetic than they let on. Hiro reads the room constantly, unadmittedly eavesdropping and keeping tabs on every little idea or emotion of their peers, and often accidentally mentioning them later on, revealing their habits.

Beneath all of their cynicism, Hiro has a good heart. It's very comforting for them to tell stories, and hear them from friends - when they aren't letting their worries get the best of them, that is. They also do feel genuine enjoyment when doing things for those they care about, even if they are complaining or poking fun while doing it... That's just how they are. Even worry-worms can be cheeky at times!

Appearance

Hiro looks like your average Prusathian - not especially tall or skinny, just average. That said, an average Prusathian build is still pretty unique; tall and avian-like, with a long, flexible neck that can twist a full 360°, and thin but muscular legs built for speed and agility. Their beak is long, with hardened keratin only at the tip, and their ears stick out the top of their head like split petals.

On their head and body, Hiro has long strands of hair that fade from yellow into green. They do their best to keep it tidy, but it’s tough when they're constantly scavenging, squeezing into tight spaces, or running for their life.

Hiro's default expression is a little frantic, eyes often staring off into the middle distance. Usually, that's because they’re eavesdropping - trying to catch snippets of conversation without making it obvious.
