Earth - As much as Todd loves his home planet, the world of humans has
captivated the young man. Earth's inhabitants have also captivated the
alien, although the appreciation may not be mutual for everyone he meets.
Home - Sure, he may adore Earth, but he also is partial to his home
planet Fleiohiri. After arriving to Earth for the E.T. Project, he often
misses it.
Insects - Todd has a fascination with Earth's bugs, especially beetles. He
gets quite upset at the sight of one getting stepped on and does not
understand the disgust they instill in others.
Bubbles - Bubbles of any kind bring delight to Todd. Whenever they
pop, he becomes distraught, as he believes that they have been killed.
Dislikes
Being Ignored - Due to Todd's very bubbly personality, he doesn't
enjoy being left alone. If you ignore him, he will worry that you hate him
and that he has done something wrong.
Being Yelled At - When yelled at, Todd believes that he has failed
whoever is upset with him and will become very sad.
Syrup - He finds the sticky substance unnatural and unnerving. He
hates it even more if it touches him, as the sensation freaks him out.
Fears
Storms - As Fleiohiri does not have storms, they terrify poor Todd.
Especially thunderstorms. He doesn't understand what they are.
Birds - Todd's fear ranges from cardinals to geese. No matter what
size, shape, or color, they are pants-wettingly terrifying.
Toasters - When he first used a toaster, the bread shot out and he
thought that he was being attacked. He has retained the fear ever since.
Water - Todd will drink it, but he hates to touch it for reasons
unknown, aside from not being able to swim. It takes a battle to
make him bathe.
Skills
Empathy - Todd has the gift of knowing the emotions of those around
him. It is a popular skill for people on Fleiohiri to have and he can use it
quite well.
Language Adaptability - He can learn another language easily. He is
fluent in English, Spanish, and French, along with his native language.
Painting - Well, his skill here depends upon how you look at it. Back
on his home planet, he is great at painting, while his work here looks like
chicken scratch.
Fitting Into Small Spaces - Due to his short and skinny stature, he is
able to squeeze into spots that others may not be able to.
Flaws
Lack of Maturity - Especially on Earth, where he has no idea how to
behave, Todd is a very childish creature.
Can't Play Sports - Ignoring the fact that he doesn’t understand Earthly
activities, he has poor physique and would find sports very tiring.
Can't Swim - Fleiohiri is very desert like, so water is a rarity that usually
goes to animals when attained. They drink other alien substances. Todd
has hardly come into contact with water, and is mortified by the idea of
being engulfed in it.
Allergic to Bananas - However odd it may seem, he cannot eat
bananas without going into a sneezing fit. This is a problem, as he
likes the taste of bananas and whines about his inability to eat them.
Todd is a very quirky young man who is very odd by the standards of earth. He is often dubbed as overly happy or joyous and is quite friendly. He doesn't fully understand how to act in normal conversation, and he often blurts out odd statements. Due to his ability of empathy, he has gained the skill of making people uncomfortable by how well he can read them. However, no matter how awkward Toddlk seems, he is the kind of person that is very difficult to dislike. His peculiarity is slightly amusing, as is his struggle with mundane, human things.
Despite being more advanced than humanity, Todd is quite humble. He finds Earth's technology awe-striking. He is very easily amused and often is thought of as childish even among fellow aliens. He carries himself in a very whimsical way, as you could probably tell he is an alien by the way he blinks. He's very outgoing, and, if you aren't careful, he could talk your ear off. However, his empathic ability often effects his behavior, as feeling upset with him causes the same effect as yelling at the sensitive alien. He could simply avoid interaction with you based off of the emotion you were feeling at a specific time. He is easily upset and, when someone is mad, he blames himself for their mood, a very bad habit.
However, if you can get used to his immaturity, he is a very enjoyable person to be around. His actions often cause humor to humans around him. Although he may be utterly lost when it comes to the customs of Earth, he is extremely smart back on his home planet, as he did qualify for the E.T. Program. His intelligence, sadly, is usually lost in his childish demeanor. He often has a carefree, frivolous spirit about him. He may not understand a lot about earth, but he is very curious and wishes to be friends with all of humanity, even though that may not be entirely possible.
Biography
Toddlk was born as an only child to his loving parents. He was born on the planet Fleiohiri, an intelligent place covered in a desert-like landscape. Everyone in Fleiohiri was quite bright and if you didn't chase after a job requiring intellect, you were odd. Todd's father was a doctor while his mother worked in day care. He had an incredibly good relationship with them both. He was an very sheltered child, his parents shielding him from the bad things of the world because they wanted to keep their son as innocent as possible. It was a good idea, and it actually kept their son more mature than other boys his age. However, once he became a bit older, kids began to be exposed to violence and teased him for not enjoying gore like they did. They also teased him for his sensitive, childish nature and he became a target for bullying. He never got into a physical fight until he was thirteen, and because he refused to hit back, he came home with two black eyes and a bloody nose.
In a desperate attempt to help their son stand up for himself against the uncivil boys his age, they taught him self-defense tactics. However, he much preferred to run from trouble as being able to feel his enemies rage and hate made him uncomfortable and his did not wish to fuel it. He soon pitied his enemies more than he was scared of them, and often spoke to them in ways that they felt were odd, talking to them about their feelings. Eventually, this made people stop bothering him and hang around him for humor purposes instead, as he had gained the reputation of being weirdly entertaining. He didn't mind this, as he preferred positive attention to negative.
It quickly became apparent to the adults in his life that Todd was very smart. He was an honor student in school, yet he had no idea where he wanted to go with his life. Before he had to decide, he was sent an offer from the government saying that he had been selected to go to a foreign planet called Earth and be a part of a project, bonding two different species. They told him that he would be paired with a human that would help him learn the ways of the planet and that it would be a once in a life time opportunity. With the support of his parents, he took the offer and headed for Earth soon after.
