Background: Not able to find his place in the rather boring society of his native race, Alsheean left home at the age of 4 (developmentally 12) and turned to a life of crime. He had a few lucky breaks in his first year or so of simple hijacking, thievery, spying and smuggling, but, as children are wont to do, he made mistakes. His first attempt at infiltration, under the direction of organized crime, ended in disaster when his smuggling industry was busted. When Alsheaan, then posted on Remus, heard this news, he panicked, and in a badly executed but eventually successful escape attempt, he stole a valuble space craft and killed almost fifteen Romulans, two of whom were in high positions in the government. Upon learning his identity from his ex-colleagues, the Romulan security began to track him down. With a great deal of luck, Alsheaan managed to avoid them for half a dozen star systems, but they have pinpointed him at Ariel IV. He searched for and found a ship going away from the Romulan Empire and equipped to avoid customs--the Merchant Vessel Exchequer.

Personality: Even for his quick-developing race, Alsheaan is young, and more often than not acts on impulse. He is a fast thinker and street-smart, but not very well educated. Even though he is a hunted fugitive, his desire to create mischief often overrules his limited supply of caution. He is not innately evil, but has very well defined priorities--he comes first. Also not big on loyalty, compassion or ideals, he values excitement and his own skin more than friends, profit or the approval of others. He is a very good actor, good at picking up mannerisms and characteristics of those he imitates.

Additional Physcial Characteristics: Alsheaan is a shapeshifter, and can assume the form of any humanoid he’s studied extensively. If he’s seen a person, he can look like them. If he’s heard them, he can sound like them, and so on. With a physical sample, he can take on their genetic qualities, i.e. strength, eyesight, et cetera. In his natural form, he has hollow bones, very little body hair and thin, double-jointed limbs. In fact, he is very frail and rather weak. He has large black faceted eyes, which can see in infrared and thus don’t handle visible light well, and only three fingers, so he has a great deal of confusion when switching between having three and five fingers. He emits radio waves in any form, which makes him trackable to any who know what to look for and confuses the heck out of computers. Most computers and scanning systems prefer not to acknowledge his presence, no matter what he looks like.

Special Notes: Alsheaan has quite a bit of technical skill, but not as much as an engineer. He can’t fight very well. All measurements are given for when Alsheaan is in his natural form. He ages a great deal faster than humans. Every time he switches shapes successively in a short period of time, it is more difficult, and it’s almost impossible to shift more than three times without a great deal of rest and food. On the Exchequer, he likes posing as Brunt and lurking in the Jefferies tubes.
