Itnal

Main Information
Name: Itnal (last name unknown)

Nickname: "That crazy bastard"

Height: 6 feet

Species: Shark/elf hybrid, created by DNA self-experimentation before government order to stop

Occupation: Main scientist and inventor at ItnalCo

Physical Description
While Itnal shows some characteristics of his elven side, such as pointed ears and vibrant, bright blue eyes, most of his body is dominated by the result of his genetic experimentation. His skin has an extremely rough, flexible texture, and is a pale gray-blue in color, mottled with large black spots. Combined with a set of slightly-formed gills on his neck, a piercing, unfocused stare, and a mouthful of very large, sharp teeth, he presents an incredibly unsettling appearance. He also wears an unusual visor made of translucent, bright orange safety glass, apparently made to correct for a partial color-blindness problem that he has.

Background
While Itnal usually is too busy creating sets of power armor or laser-broiling peaches to give a detailed biography, several notebooks that he's released to the SIBEK library state that he was previously, ages ago, an aspiring biology major from Earth, researching cutting-edge gene therapy to fix a minor, genetic eye disorder he had. Reports from the notebooks are increasingly frantic and focused, eventually seguing into a clear, dangerous method of genetic therapy involving shark tissues to compensate for the malfunctioning eye cells. From this, it's been theorized that an experiment that he was doing was the catalyst for his insanity, fusing some of the animal's characteristics into his. Naturally, DNA never has worked that way and never will, but on the final page of the notebook is a sketch of a complicated combination machine for it. Whenever a copy has been built, it has immediately malfunctioned, and Itnal refuses to create another. As such, this is only our best theory to date.

Personality
Itnal is *incredibly* crazy, frequently making projects, statements, and inventions that make no sense to anyone but himself. This includes a knack for slipping in and out of buildings without anyone noticing, frequently appearing and disappearing abruptly. He prefers to let his main assistant, Hoshi, focus on things that would actually turn a profit or be useful to the general public. The reason why he hasn't been usurped, however, is due to his main power: to make items that defy even Chorrus's already bizarre physics, and the ability to make them work for others. One of his most important inventions is a crystal-focused energy generator that creates nine percent more power than what it uses. While quite weak, a series of these wired together provide power to the central city district of Chorrus.
