Salutations, Omegafriends and Omegafiends! My name is Chi, and I'm bringing with me an OC named Sherrinford Holmes. He's from a race of aliens that can best be described as "sort of like Vulcans, if Vulcans were tentacle-haired frog-people and every single one of them was a mad scientist." Unlike your typical human mad scientist, however, Sherri is geared more towards the biological sciences than the technological ones. Somehow he manages to use those abilities to fight supervillainy as Dr. Telephosphor!

By day, however, he poses as a (human) clinical psychologist. Rather than being just a cover job, this is something he takes seriously and really enjoys - so if any of your characters need someone to knowingly or unknowingly talk out their deep, troubling psychological trauma with, I'd absolutely love to plot that out with you!

Lastly, my plurk is chi_sai, but I'll be hitting up the friending meme to friend you all because yay friends. ♥

So basically, we have a TF2 Medic/alien. Good to know!

[getoutofmylab]

Basically, yes! :D

[bigshoulder_lady]

Curious if us all space peeps will all know about the Federation.

[getoutofmylab]

Ooooh. I think this is something that all of us space peeps should get together and plot about.

If there is a Federation in this universe, I think the Skrell Confederation would either be a member or at least be aware of its existence. My AU backstory for them is that they're essentially what the Omegaverse has instead of grey aliens, so if the Federation is particularly interested in Earth they'd be aware of Skrellian shenanigans and vice-versa.

[bigshoulder_lady]

Well, as far as I can tell, The Galactic Federation operates kinda like this: Internal rule is self controlled but foreign relations and military force is regulated by the authority of the Federation. Them being members while doing their own research kind of thing and not involving Earth might be okay. The Skrell could be members. I know the Chozo and their "Great precursor Cousins" like the Luminoth are not, but that's because they like to isolate themselves from the shorter lived and less advanced species.

[getoutofmylab]

Hmm. This could really go either way.

In their original universe, Skrell are not that interested in other sentients. They did end up joining a Federation-like body, but only in the interest of supporting an alternative to the mega-corporations that were taking over the galaxy. They are socialist, so trade is not a huge motivator for them, and they were more scientifically advanced than any other (non-hostile) species.

In this AU, there are at least some factions of Skrell who are academically interested in other species - possibly in the interest of studying the phenomenon of sentience itself. While the Confederation as a whole would probably disapprove of that and thus would gladly clamp down on any Earth-based research, I'm not sure what, if anything, would drive them to join the Federation in the first place.

It's highly possible that they know about it and are on good terms with a number of Federation species but aren't members themselves.

[bigshoulder_lady]

Well, mostly was curious in how she's consider your species. She's probably knowledgeable of the existence, but not terribly versed in the xenology of your species.

[getoutofmylab]

This seems likely! :D

[terrorwhatflaps]

A psychologist? Hooboy, there's a fun can of worms to crack open with this one. Sherri sounds like a really neat character - I'll have to grab some CR with him!

[getoutofmylab]

EEEE DARKWING DUCK ♥

Believe me, the desire for all the CR is extremely mutual. :D

[terrorwhatflaps]

Huzzah! Now, how shall we make it happen, I wonder? He's just a Guest Hero for now, so they'd have to meet outside the base...

[getoutofmylab]

There are plenty of reasons why this might occur! Some villain could be all doing villain things, and then then they both show up to completely fail at heroing.

[terrorwhatflaps]

Darkwing Duck never fails! ... Well. Except on days ending in Y.
