Andy Roos
Job Title: Cleaner
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Nationality: Australian
Department: Civillians & Misc
Life-form: Human
Player or NPC?: Player
Physical Appearance
Barely pushing 6 foot, Andy hardly stands out of the crowd. Be it literally or figuratively. Moderately handsome yet strong features highlight a life of miscellaneous labor. Topped off by a head of light brown hair that has all the charm of a rabid flesh-eating sheep and like one is only occasionally tackled down and shaven.
Complete lack of ability to sense hot or cold due to faulty cryo-storage. As such, Holly installed a temperature montior screen into his lower wrist. Should the Scizophenic timer ever run down- Andy will pass out on the spot. A common sight in the more warm areas of the ship. Don't be surprised to see him tip buckets of water over his head in a panic, either.
Personality and Interests
Despite drawing an amazingly fine line between lower-class and homeless, Andy maintains an optimistic albeit quiet personality. Polite, benevolent and possessed of a snarky sense of humor. Andy tries his best to duck and cover in most situations upon Blue Dwarf, but has grown out of his innocence and will now kill in self-defense.
Due to an unfortunate childhood experience, he had a serve phobia of any creature that is not from earth (anything that's not human, robot or GELF). However due to prolonged exposure to the radiant Efof, he's managed to slowly grow out of this irrational fear.
Andy is a man of few talents and even fewer interests. He's ambled through life without ambition and even less thought for the future. His primary hobbies in life is staying alive and has few qualms about stealing to eat.
His skill in stealing in a modern age has branched over into the more dubious aspects of it. Attaining an affinity to hacking, he has proven to be something of a prodigy in art of code breaking. Explaining why he is still able to utilize such abilities aboard the venerable Blue Dwarf. Despite his skill, he is quick to guard the secrets of his abilities for fear of alienation and prosecution.
Job familiarization had afforded Andy proficiency with both volatile chemicals and mining lasers (mostly Bazookoids.)
History
'What do you want to do when you grow up?'
Andy drew a blank. That was his life in a nutshell.
Andy Roos is an Australian man who had nothing going for him besides what he can do with his hands. No aspirations, no qualifications; simply shooting the breeze as it was day-in day-out for his 23 years of life.
Andy's history up until the Blue Dwarf can be summed up as thus. The year is 2054. Boy is poor, scientist finds boy, offered a million in cash to get himself frozen. Boy accepts, is frozen, they forgot how to unfreeze him. Boy gets passed down scientist chain, boy is eventually (and illegally) shoved onto mining ship Red dwarf for cheaper fares. 50 years later, AI finds discrepancy, AI Spaces discrepancy. Discrepancy found by Blue Dwarf.
Given job to be a cleaner. Again.
