Dement

Description:
The certain Engineer that you can see is human and he's certainly a he, if only a slightly effeminate one. The most outstanding thing about him is his height, or apparently lack of it. Standing at a meteor height of 5"4, hes no giant and if racial stereotyping has any bearing hes probably Ungstiri. He has dark scruffy hair that hangs down to his ears before curling upwards, though it doesnt appear to be through his own volition, it doesnt appear as though he has spent a great deal of effort making himself look nice. His forehead is lost in the tangle of scruffy locks and below that are his eyebrows. He is slightly thin in the face, a trend that carries on through the rest of him too, but he is not skeletal, his skin is plush and healthy and carries a warmth of its own. Jumping out from his face are his eyes, unnaturally Yellow where his iris must have been artificially manipulated. He wears a pair of dirty jeans, black and blue stains taking almost as much space as the dark blue shade of his legs. On his torso is a plain red t-shirt which is slightly less stained than the trousers, not that there is much between the two, but there is a difference. He also has a /clean/ leather jacket that matches the colour of his jeans, its not new but it isnt worn for work, which is visually obvious. Finally, holding to his back through some unknown means, as it looks as if it may fall apart at any moment is a grey backpack that sags down to his waist. On his aged backpack are a number of different transfers, badges and bizarre, or considerably interesting mechanical trinkets that show off how historical and sentimental it is.

History:
Dement grew up not knowing what was beyond the hindering blockade that enveloped his world, but he had always wished he could travel up, up and away from Waldheim and his family. He didn't hate his parents but his relationship with his father was never stable and he longed for the freedom and independance he saw in the characters of movies and books.

He was hailed as a child prodigy, inheriting his father's genius with electronics, mechanical objects and engineering. Though he was reserved, when the opportunity arose for him to travel out into the galaxy, he took the chance straight away. He was one of the first to leave Waldheim to learn about the structures of modern spaceships. In a confused message, he was lost on Ungstiri where he met a man called Selyf Tresillian who helped provide Dement living arrangments. Dement continued to live on board Tresillian's ship, the UKT Teamhair, as a learner mechanic. Months later, he was an Engineer as good as any other, choosing not to return to Waldheim but to continue as a permanent engineer on board.

More time passed and Dement was caught up with the Public Health Service (Sivad) and eventually exiled from the Waldheim United Engineering Trust when his involvement in the Thul Resequencing Virus cleansing on Waldheim caused him to denounce his citizenship in favor of living with Tresillian, in Resilience.

After this, Dement joined with Tressillian in creating Amethyst Operations, prompted by both interest and the newly formed Interstellar Vroomhopper Racing League they joined in a partnership to organise the company. Shortly after, the UKT Seek and You Shall Find was purchased and Dement took Engineering duties up there.

After a few months of hit and miss success with the new ship, Tresillian went missing. Dement took over Amethyst Operations and has run the organisation since then.
