NAME: Goro
SPECIES: Vathen
ETHNICITY: Vao'sil
SEX: neither; a Vathen has no need of sexual organs and reproduces by spitting when growing to large over the decades. Goro has tended to take a more masculine role. Other Vathen chose or switch on their moods.
HEIGHT: varies; usually 5'8”
WEIGHT: undetermined
AGE: 36 (barring violent ends all Vathen survive 100 years before “dying” joining the collective goop of all the other Vathen of the same caste. Even in death the five ethnicities remain separate in some fashion.

DESCRIPTION: Goro is a green amorphous being that tends to hold a humanoid shape. Unnerving are the ring of “eyes” strewn about his body. He usually stands 5'8” but can easily adjust or diminish this height at will. He is a Vathen and drawn to power or cowering beneath those with power as the case maybe. He is Vao'sil, a lower caste that was never going to amount to much if he stayed on his homeworld as the Vathen do not allow upward mobility outside of the caste only within it so the best he could have hoped for would have been a voice for the lowest caste on the planet.

The species is very ambitious. Even so Goro is still looked down upon by his kind as a lowly Vao'sil regardless of how much power he acquires.

DATA:
Goro has been a minor player until recently. The small time slaver had been tracked down by ADD agent Triella Zarathrosis. She managed to apprehend the slaver with the assistance of Aegir. While a file has been stated on the psionic monster as a preventive step it is ever needed on this particular mission.

Whether it was because there was a particular unknown history there or not has yet to be determined though later when he encountered Agent Minerva Rocha and again with fellow Agent Nail he assisted them with accomplishing their objectives though his motives for doing so are still unclear.

Goro, while incarcerated had valuable information that he exchanged and was to assist Agent Calista Cole on her mission though during it he betrayed Calista and cast her into slavery has he tied to claw his way back into the game.

Later Agent Natasha Haley had been assigned to capture the slaver managing to do so only to discover that he knew were the captured agent was and was willing to work with the agent to rescue her.

During the mission, however, Goro betrayed her which lead into her servitude for a long while before Natasha returned to the ADD unable to speak about such times. During that mission, however she was able to rescue her fellow agent.

Once an insignificant figure Goro has sky rocketed to influence when he arranged for a deal with the Zen Knight organization that has been growing in influence in the sector. A short time after his betrayal of Agent Haley he encountered the Adda, a red scaled, four armed reptilian species that are on the cusp of space exploration out of their home system.

Why they have venerated him is unclear but the Adda see him as some sort of deity representing great times for their people to come. Now backed with muscle Goro has become a sufficient threat.

He also has taken on requests, shopping lists acquiring slave like Yolia Seyler on request by Gersham. It was during this commissioned assignment when the Adda first showed up on the scene.


KNOWN ABILITIES AND COUNTER MEASURES:
While he was incarcerated it was noted that Goro has some minor abilities and some counter measures were established for some of the.

Addictive: Goro excretes and aphrodisiac from the very texture of his slime. This scent causes arousal within humans and is rather pleasing to most other species. Simple nose plugs have countered this effect. The slime itself does not carry any special qualities unless that scent is inhaled. Full strength is not reach until five minutes or so but slowly builds from there.

While the Adda only find this scent pleasant as it raises their ardor in battle many others, notably humans, find that after a dozen or so times that the scent is addictive where they begin craving exposure to it on a daily basis. Like most drugs a victim can wheen themself off of this scent through detox proceedures often stepping down gradually by exposure to pheramones and other scent based aphrodisiacs until the adiction is beaten.

This ability is tied to Goro's own excitement. Whether he is sexually aroused or simply excited at an endeavor. The greater is excitement the more intense the scent. On most occassions, however, the scent has no effect. Slime detached from the largest mass goes inert after a few short minutes and while apart of the main body. Some times if he wishes to play games he may smear a victim in slime and make them think they have escaped while letting the slime work against their will as he follows. While as powerful as the other slime, however, slime separated from him goes inert after a few short minutes. After 5 it has little effect other than keeping a target slightly aroused for the next five minutes or so before fading completely.

The aphrodisiac is naturally forming like B.O in humans. The scent increasing as he gets agitated/excited.

All Around Vision: Despite appearing to have eyes all about his body Goro shapes his “flesh” like this in order to remind associates he is always watching. Rather a psionic ability let's him “see” in all directions at once though if one is unmoving when he enters into a new area he may mistake them as an object until they move in some fashion. While it is not known how far he “sees” Goro appears to have a very short rang of perception of less than 100'.

Amorphous: Goro can reshape body parts at will or create new ones. Slashing weapons have little effect as the slime cut away can be reabsorbed by the body and piercing weapons do little good. Energy weapons are still effective against him, however, even if physical weapons are not. He still worries about the martial skills of opponents more so in resisting long enough to get armed with a weapon that can cause him real harm.

Telekinesis: Goro is able to hold his shape through a very minor use of telekinesis though other than reshaping his body and holding a shape this ability is not strong enough to be used other wise.

Weak Willed: Goro is able to be intimidated if you have a position of strength over him though he can become rather arrogant if the reverse is true. Mental attacks wreck havoc on him as Calista found out though he his now taking a drug that shields his mind temporarily from psionic influences.


THE ADDA:



A four armed red scaled reptilian species that have just recently begun to explore sectors of space outside of their home system. The are about 2 meters in height on average and are rather fanatical when Goro gives commands they will die to carry them out if necessary though some have been known to withdraw and formulate different plans if alternative methods work better.

Any would die for Goro if necessary for his survival. When addressing Goro it is always with the title Emissary as if Goro were the mouth piece for someone or something else. Why they are such fanatic remains unclear as they are knew on the scene.

Goro has used profits from his time as a slaver to outfit them with better weapons and ships as well as getting mercenary instructors to teach them how to use their new found weapons. New tech interests the advance of their species and they are always interested in acquiring new toys especially if they can be used in warfare of some kind.

They are an aggressive species that seek to expand beyond their home system.

The males still have aggressive fights amongst themselves to select the choice in mates and often butt their heads together. Male had have thicker ridges over their foreheads due to continually butting heads with others of their kind.



OOC: I might have changed a few of the details to make the background smoother read. Some of the storylines have died but the details worked out enough in them ahead of time to establish a bit of direction as to knowing what the end result was going to be and in one case with Natasha the generation of several different threads in a longer series.

He's been a background npc for awhile now, nothing major but before assigning him a greater role I felt he should be detailed so that any issues with him could be worked out if there were any. Most of his abilities are fairly minor or easy to counter as he was never a strong npc but more one to drive storylines onward.

I seldomly get into such depth with detailing threads but had on these.

Saves
Goro has acquired Alexandra in Investigation who later escaped with a craving satisfied by Fafner. Later Goro would reacquire her in Set Up.

Just a slight change to addictive to clarify it up as far as his appearances went in some threads he showed up in as an npc.
