✖ PLACE OF ORIGIN & SPECIES: Earth; Human
✖ DIET: Omnivorous.
✖ NOTABLE SKILL SET/S:

Genius with advanced proficiency in engineering, robotics, programming, artificial intelligence and strategy. Combat ability consists of martial arts (specialty in use of swords), and the strategic use of puppets, as well as a skill called "flashstepping."

✖ BACKGROUND:

Dirk grew up in the 25th century, long after the human race had been eradicated by a powerful alien Empress who then flooded the Earth by melting the polar ice caps. One of the last two humans left, he raised himself completely alone under constant threat of being discovered by the Empress and her drones. His first contact with other humans was through online chat as a pre-teen, two of whom were four hundred years in the past. He finally met his friends in person at age 15 when they decided to play a very complicated game.

✖ CHARACTER ASSESSMENT:

Social isolation in early childhood has made Dirk eccentric, and that's putting it nicely. Has a damaged sense of self as well as a limited concept of boundaries due to the lack of any typical societal values and nurturing. Also has a ruthless streak, morals are malleable depending on the situation, but he is not without morals, empathy or compassion. In fact, his deep caring for those closest to him is sincere and he is loyal to a fault. But he is prone to self destructive behavior: lacking regard for typical limits and sustaining a warped perception of own purpose. Though social skills are underdeveloped, he has a sharp wit, a wicked sense of humor and makes a point to come off as aloof. Often honest but can be withholding and manipulative as well as controlling, but not absolutely so. Also suffers from insecurity and self-loathing after recent social exposure. Interests include: puppets, horses, swords, sick rhymes, irony, philosophy, history, pop culture and death matches with robots.
