Bravo Fleet
Summary
Wide eye’d and constantly craving new knowledge, Hrelle (AKA: Runt, being the runt of his litter), is someone you can trust with two things. Random, almost unneeded knowledge, and a shoulder to cry on. Despite this, he’s still a bit socially anxious, having a hard time fully communicating what’s best for him in a group. This has resulted in others dumping their work onto him to do it–and thus resulting in a very overworked cat–but even then, he’s happy to do it for his friends. What’s the worse that could happen?
Appearance
Dawning a bullhorn septum in his snout (that often is not in), Runt stands at a staggering…5’9. He has little hair on his head or around his body, seemingly looking less cat like and more..sable like, in a sense.
His claws are seemingly almost always out, which the cat themself sometimes forgets. But it’s ffinneeee, it’s totally fine. [ Note – Runt has multiple determents to his record at the academy for his habit of accidentally scratching professors. ]
Runt is ALWAYS seen trying to wear his hand-stitched coat over his uniform; it’s a smooth cotton, with slightly bright red coloring on it. In their words, “”It was made by my mother, it is not coming off.”.”
[ All art of them goes to their respective artist, that being the incredible @OccupationalKlaus! ]
Personality
Runtie is…
Well, to put it bluntly, Runt is an overworked and, up until recently, often sleep deprived cat. He has an almost borderline obsessive need to know everything new about a specific subject, and aims to be a jack-of-all-trades type of crew member in the future.
He hasn’t gone by Hrelle in years, so much so that some people think his name is actually Runt.
Past the small bit of craziness, though, lays a sweetie of a cat who is fiercely loyal to his captain, crew, and family. He drops everything at a moments notice to make sure someone is okay, and will very happily take on work from others, to not only people-please, but take burdens off of them. It’s a vise and a virtue, being the way Runt is. A vise and a virtue.
Past ALL of that Runt, when not helping others or obsessing over knowledge, tends to…stare off into space. Sometimes having to even be shaken out of it. Other times jumpy, and cringes heavily at being touched on the back of the neck. Bit of an odd ball, this cat is.
History
2377
Hrelle ‘Runt’ M’hark was born out of 5 siblings, each having been taller and larger tthan the last. His mother and Father we’re both in tip top shape and consistently eating healthy. So, imagine their shock when hrelle came out as the runt of the litter. Thus, the nickname! Whilst growing up, his family worked respectable jobs, with the eldest–two twins named Ax and Ay–being in starfleet. Both are Chief Tactical Officer and Captain respectively.
Whilst growing up, Runt read the family library till it’s very last book. Because of this, he was teased..only ever so lightly. It did cause a few insecurities, but therapy helped for a while. When Runt was 13, something happened to him, and he’s been drastically more shut out and jumpy than usual. he always changes the subject and now obsesses over any new knowledge he wants to join.
Starfleet Academy ( 2395 – 2399 )
Taking an early academy class to enroll, Runt was a brilliant student and mind in Starfleet, showing quite a lot of promise in the science field. Majoring in Chemistry, Runt was swift to graduate with not many noticable friends or big achievements. Yet.
During his time there, he prototyped a ‘plasma knife’, which was indeed what it sounded like. Using a concentrated form of plasma, Runt was able to have something akin’ to the soon to be final product.
Starbase Bravo ( 2400 – 2402 )
For a few years, Runt worked in Starbase Bravo with as a technician. For a while, he was essientally the places busybody, not having that many friends and instead keeping to himself. In the reality of it all, Runt was content. He did make a few friends after being brought out of his shell by a certain Ensign Reon.
