Name: Hector
Gender: Male
Race: Humanoid Alien
Bugography: Hector's hive came into contact with Humans some months ago; their queen was awfully surprised that humans had already made contact with others of their species, but not surprised when they turned the entire hive's social structure inside out by introducing new social-political ideas. It wasn't the first time they'd adapted new ideas. But it was the first time that the queen's importance to the hive was questioned. Eventually it was agreed upon that the queen would be allowed to be left in charge, but any number of politicians under her would be ready to become a queen should she be voted down. Hector wasn't inclined to join the new politics of the hive, but was shocked to learn that his chosen profession in life was now considered illegal because of the human alliance. And because he didn't know how to do anything else, he had to keep doing it; and in order to do that, he became an underground criminal and took on a human-ish name.
Physical Description: Hector's race looks not un-human like, at least human enough to pass as functioning members in a human-dominated society. They do have mandibles like would be expected for an insectoid race, but they really have minimal chitin (A little on their mandibles, some shoulder plates, and a little around their waist); mostly they have a red skin that resembles the pink flesh of humans. Their women have no breasts, but no hair either; instead they have tiny bits of horn. The men, like Hector, have hair on their heads like humans, but only in black. And as long as they remain undefeated in combat, they never cut it. Hector only has 5 inches of hair, and keeps one half shaved bald; a sign that he was forced from his hive in disgrace. Otherwise, Hector is built much like a
strong human, the phyisical ideal of his species.

Parrying (Hector is great at blocking stuff with his weapon. Projectiles, weapons, or massive monsters, whatever)
Field Medicine (Hector can save comrade's life now, comrade can get proper medical help later)
Salvaging (Hector sees the use in everything. He hoards broken guns, collects scrap metal, and harvests all sorts of plants and monster bits. Even if he can't use most of the stuff he keeps)
Equipment:
Energy Melee weapon: Hector likes to use a super-heated axe to butcher things, and use the center of the blade where it absorbs more heat than it gives off to defend himself.
Medium Advanced armor: Hector's gear is a back-mounted pack that projects a kinetic absorption field, thermal suppression waves, and dispersion fields around himself. The pack is pretty heavy, but leaves his limbs free for imediate movement; over long distances it doesn't hold up so well. It also includes a breathing apparatus and a cap to fit his hair in.

An Armory: From storing Hectors collected junk, to the team's vital weaponry and armor, Hector will make sure your stuff is secure.
