Personality and Interests

Kayn plays a lot of computer games and finds them good people to talk to. Skutters are also friends of his (apart from the fact he has to turn thier hearing systems down or they'll start trying to poke him) He is chirpy and aims to please - apparently. He has made over three hundred people commit hari-keri with handguns, and has turned over twenty psychiatrists into gibbering wrecks.

Kayn usually sets his alarm for 2:30 in the morning - so he can get a bit of extra work done (the captain would naturally approve - providing he wouldn't use the bloody sonic boom alarm). Kayn also can not take a hint.

Whenever someone tells him to shut up, he gets more courage (thinking people are talking back) and will continue with his long speeches. Even the ships computer has had enough of Kayn.

History

Kayn grew up on Ganymede - where he didn't make friends quickly due to his personality (usually his voice felt like someone scraping away at your skull with razor blades) Trying to excel at his studies to become a 'really important person' he entered the JMC Academy. There, his teachers found him even more annoying, and often tied a gag arround his mouth.

After they went through ancient space communications (semaphore, morsecode and other ways for him to talk without speaking) they had had enough of him. They made him sit the exam three years prematurely and dumped him on the closest ship. With a set of B+ grades, Kayn is hoping to become another 'Really Important Person'.

Most people avoid him like the plague before he starts talking.

Other crap about Kayn

He invented a ship which he named the "Valkyrie".

Finally, Kayn got onto the podium and coughed down the microphone.
"Yeah, erm, thanks for coming here you lot. Especially on short notice like this..."
Harris shouted obsenities at Kayn, basically telling him to get on with it.

"OK...without further ado....I am going to show you the new ship that will protect the Blue Dwarf in future missions. The K909 Valkyrie class fighter..."

Kayn cut the ribbon infront of him, which unveiled the Valkyrie.

The gathering were in stunned silence at the new white ship.

The Valkyrie was destroyed and he remade it out of security cameras. (Read Post)

The Valkyrie remained on the Blue Dwarf even after Kayn left:

They walked past the flight deck and Seymour ducked his head through the door curiously. "Jay look, it's the Valkyrie! Kayn's old ship! I'd really forgotten how crap it looked. We used to actually let him fly it?"

"Yes Seymour I know, I saw it earlier." Said Jay, then turned back. "We let him fly it in the hope that he'd probably crash it and get killed."
"But its so cool and old-school." Said Seymour.
