Kaptain Erratik
Ethnic Group/Race/Species: Traveller.
Gender: Male
Age: Stuck somewhere between 26 and 38
Date of Birth: Unknown, some time upwards of 1700.
Appearance: Crocodile man. He has the long snout and tail of a croc. Wears a leathery purple coat and a pirate hat with a badly drawn face symbol on it.
Personality: Erratic and passionate. Frequently ignorant of emotional realities. He means well, though is a victim to how easily he can be irritated. A part of him resents humans, and how his own humanity was taken from him.
Quirks: Uses phrases and speech patterns that only he truly understands.
Likes/Hobbies: Creative types. Excitement. Getting on with the 'adventure' at hand. Being the dominant speaker.
Dislikes/Nopes: Any mundanity, or people he perceives to be mundane. Emotions. Loved ones. People who argue with him.
Significant Other: Once upon a time, maybe. Erratik hasn't considered it in years.
Family: Unknown.
Place of Residence: Resides in the Source, wandering but returning to his Squarespace periodically.
Education: It is unknown if Erratik received any formal education, but he has the capacity to speak extremely fluently and has moments of great intelligence.
Profession/Skills: Erratik is surprisingly good at hand to hand fighting, and is able to use his crocodile teeth/tail in combat. He can dance really well.
Source Prowess/Imagination: Fantastic. Erratik doesn't perform direct attacks with his imagination, but conjures swords + equipment he can use.
Equipment/Vehicle/Companion:
The Electric Yargh - a flying wooden pirate ship with the interior of a submarine. He is able to use his imagination to conjure weapons to spring out of impossible spaces and hidden compartments on it.
The Spatula - A seemingly ordinary spatula with no remarkable features. This spatula acts as a magic wand for Erratik, enabling him to manipulate the Source just as a human would. The spatula also grants its wielder inconsequential transport between reality and the Source, which is it's most remarkable trait. Simply hold the spatula and will it, and you + those around you will be taken.
Goal(s): Stop the Daydream Beast, then ignore humanity. Fill the hole in himself with adventure.
Flaws/Fears: Many. Erratik refuses his humanity, is an asshole, frequently ignores other people, and is extremely self confident. Is irritated easily, as mentioned before.
Backstory:
"Once I looked quite a lot like you. Reality was tearing into me, giving me nothing but dead thoughts." His moon eyes changed to that of a young man's. Blue, but filling up with grey. "I never sought to give anything back. It was a world I had no interest in. That's why I got the spatula."
Other than these words spoken to Norm, not an awful lot is known about Erratik's past, as he never speaks about his human life. There are rumors that he was tasked by some hidden force to maintain the connection between the Source and reality. It was this force that gifted him with the spatula to do so.
At one point, Erratik realised the looming threat of the Daydream Beast and started searching for a 'first mate' for his ship. Someone in reality, who could use the Source to it's full extent. Someone who didn't care to abandon Earth for the purpose of saving it. This was when he met Norm.
Very recently, Erratik has misplaced his spatula. But surely that will come with no consequence, right?
