Fleeks

Fleeks (フリークス) is a male Nevrean living in Goldring.

Life
Fleeks was born in Nevrea. His mother was an irregular Nevrean. Because of that reason and the promise of a better life they moved to gold ring. An attempt to break out of the strict rules in Nevrean society. He never met his father who died when he was still a young Nevrean boy.

After his mother died he took over a small market stall in the outer areas of Goldring where he sells his crafts, from beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to protective (but pretty) clothing to questionable "medicinal" potions, his selection is a colorful bunch of more or less useful stuff. He has some regular customers and can make a good life out of that, tho he isn't rich.

Look
Fleeks has a plumage dominated by purple shades. The area underneath his eyes he colored in an orange tone, but he likes to pretend that this is his normal color. His crest feathers are unusually long, he takes a huge pride in them. He puts at least an half an hour of work into that. He has only 3 fingers, including thumb, what is abnormal in comparison to other Nevrean males. Noone is sure why that is, a vague suspicion is some kind of regressive mutation.

Personality and interests
Fleeks is an open minded, curious Nevrean male. He likes exploring the nature of Vilous. At home he conducts experiments with the local shellfish live quite often, especially hamsters because those are easy to handle. His dream is to invent something that may give people protection from the Talyxians in the wild. He loves to create things as art and tools. His creativity with that goes often wild and his inventions aren't as useful as he likes them to be. Though he tends to be very proud of his creations and being good in talking and very convincing by times he still sells a good bunch of his ideas especially to Sergals. He is kind of a hedonist, living more for the now than the future. He loves well done alcoholic bean beaverages and even brews alcoholic beverages by himself.

Research
Fleeks does some kind of research. It isn't very scientific by modern standard, but he loves what he is doing.
 * He likes to extract substances from the flora of Vilous and mixes them from time to time to see what happens. Sometimes he ends up feeling sick afterwards because he may have mixed or extracted a potent toxin. But that still doesn't keep him from satisfying his curiousity.
 * He also puts substances like e.g. saline solutions or extracted plant substances on Talyxian research objects, mostly hamsters and other small species. Some people tend to critizise him because it seems cruel to them.
 * He does field studies in the wild, despite his friends, especially Sergals, often tell him that this is to dangerous for a Nevrean. But being defiant, determined and curious he just ignores them. He was saved by others more than once because he overestimated himself. But because of those experiences he also learned quite some behavior of Talyxian life and learned to estimate the risks better.
