Okay guys, thanks for the tips, I really appreciate them. I've decided to revise the character bio, taking note of what you said. Here it is:
Name: Reil Liebnen
General Information:
Species: Geshrin
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Family:
Father: Ranson Liebnen
Mother: Nerissa Liebnen
Employer: None
Occupation: Exploration/Ship Designer
Physical Characteristics:
Height: 165 cm
Weight: 54.2 kilograms
Build: Wiry on the thin side
Skin color: Light Tan
Facial Features: Asian, with just a hint of Caucasian
Eye color: Black
Hair color and Style: Thick, jet-black hair drawn up and back, with two locks of hair goung down at the side of the face
Distinguishing features: A strange circular scar behind his left ear, over the point where the skull hits the jaw.
Other: Due to a freak accident in one of his parent's missions Reil became paralyzed due to a virus and was implanted with extensive bio-implants to restore full sensory-motor functionality. Audiovisual implants have been implanted and extend Reil's effective audiovisual sensory range (since the virus afected ALL muscles, including involuntary ones) and serve as output interfaces for his implanted bio-computer. Cerebellar/medullar/gangliar inputs have also been implanted to aid movement and also enhancing reflex and coordination.
Psychological Characteristics:
Personality: Reil has an air of deserved arrogance around him that demands respect and a small measure of contempt from anyone whom he meets. He often wants to work alone, although a companion with a compatible mindset is tolerated. He is very optimistic, always seeing the silver lining on even the thickest nimbus cloud. He often lose track of time just thinking about his next task or just mulling about the nature of the universe. He is also very adventurous, always searching for new things, new knowledge, new worlds to explore. He always wants a quick yet effective fix to any problem, just like when he tries to hack and cheat through every computer game he could find.
Likes: Science, exploration, flying, honorable hand-to-hand combat, books (fiction and non-fiction, especially science and tech related) role-playing games, computer programming
Dislikes: Redundant tasks, crab meat (had a bad experience), personal development books
History: Reil's parents were a part of several explorers and vagrants who left the crowded Nepleslian/Yamataian worlds in search for new worlds to settle in. To finance their expenses, they usually played fetch for small corporations (sometimes contraband), and, to a much lesser degree, bounty hunting. Since they have no living relatives, they took along young Reil to missions like rare viral strain delivery, helping an ex-con escape and a particularly dangerous one involving a cat stuck in a tree (the cat being a 1 ton monster, all teeth and claws, making her nest in a 300 meter tall, rare species of Tami acacia). When Reil was about 12 years old, he was inflicted by a crippling virus that destroyed most of his nerve functions, forcing his parents to buy extensive bio-implants to serve as Reil's nerves. Not only did the implants restore Reil's motor skills, it also improved Reil's performance as a human. Although he has no formal knowledge during his childhood years, he eventually gained enough, as much as your ordinary schooled Geshrini. After his parents retired to Tami, he settled down in Nepleslia to study. Having finished his studies, he now looks for a job as an explorer/field researcher in one of the large corporations; but if unlucky, he might as well follow in his parent's footsteps or join the Nairan rebel group.
Skills: Reil pretty much has working knowledge of everything, but it is in the following that he excels in:
Starship Operations: His parents taught him much of this, since they had their own scout-class ship and no one else was there to drive it when they were away. He has an excellent sense of space, and can navigate a ship out of the most difficult of situations.
Vehicles: Reil can do extreme high-g maneuvers in high-performance vehicles, limited only by biological limits; but with inertial dampeners he may as well rip the drive off a fighter. He is also a crack shot with vehicle weapons systems; he is quite adept at a running shot.
Survival and Military: The dangerous lifestyle that Reil lived during his younger years prompted his parents to train him in combat and survival techniques. Reil can pretty much use everything at his disposal in order to survive. He is familiar with a wide array of hostile environmnents, from space to barren planet, from polar to jungle, from desolate to urban.
Technology Operation: Reil can make full use of his bio-implants, even extending their effectiveness. He also has extensive knowledge about computer systems; he has been known to hack his way into MMORPG game servers in order to enhance his gaming experience.
Fighting and Physical: Before Reil was given his implants he was a frail boy, unable to join into most children's games. But due to his implants he can now hold his groud in a fight. His bio-computer has been encoded with basic knowledge of most fighting styles. He is still considered too weak to enter in the arena fights though.
Engineering: Reil's lonely times on flights between his parent's missions are spent on creating toys from anything available onboard. Some of his early creations are a miniature antigravity flying device, a miniature computer, and a jetpack which he built before the implantations. Reil dreams of building his own ship someday, with variable nanopod weapons systems.
Medical and Science: Due to the sensitive nature of his implants Reil must learn how to maintain his own health, since a small slip in his implants will cause paralysis. He can perform first aid, crude surgery if necessary; but it is in cybernetic/bio-implants that he really excels in this field.
