Saghira Khad'r

Race ▶ The Vasshha -- homeless and adrift in space, the intergalactic merchants known as the Vasshha rarely congregate with their own kind. It is believed that in antiquity, they evolved as desert-dwellers too near the death of their solar system's star, and have been traveling the universe ever since.

They are rabbit-like mammals and typically raise their young in extended family units, having litters of four to six at a time. Their bodies are covered in three types of fur--the thinnest, a downy-soft half-inch, is worn over their faces, arms, legs, hands, feet, and the bases of their tails. The short length was adapted to make reading their facial expressions easier. A longer, fluffier layer is added to their chests, ears, joints, necks, and at the tips of their tails, and the thickest is the curly, hair-like fur that grows on their heads. They possess claws, fang-like teeth, and long, prehensile tails and ears--neither of which ever stop growing. Shades of brown and black are the most common pigmentation, though greys and albinos can occur.

Both males and females typically reach 5 feet and weigh 130-150 pounds by adulthood. Unless they are pregnant, it's difficult to distinguish between a male and a female Vasshhan for other races, and inter-sex individuals are common, making up 40% of the population.

Adapted to arid climates, grown Vasshha can go days on end without water, and their metabolisms can strip the water they need from their food.

They are often seen as vagrants, thieves, and dark practitioners in their universe.

Magic/Weapons ▶ 

1. small utility knife -- doesn't do much damage.
2. partial invisibility, enhanced stealth -- a spell that he picked up from an old beggar. It's very draining for a juvenile, and the longer he uses it, the worse the burnout will be.

Physical Description ▶ Sable-colored with black hair and lighter markings, and glowing, solid lavender eyes, someone of his own race might be charmed by his appearance if he ever met one. (He hasn't). Still a child, he stands a little over three feet and weighs around 75 pounds. His favorite possession is a navy-blue scarf that he's owned since infancy and he takes it wherever he goes.

Personality ▶ Fun-loving and clever, the boy possesses no brain-to-mouth filter and has a joke for everything. While sensitive, he's not given to submission and has quite the moxy.

History ▶ He's been on his own and living off what he could take for as long as he can remember. That is, Saghira is a thief and an orphan, born on a market-planet in Andromeda. Waking up somewhere that wasn't urban or buried in desert sand has been the most interesting experience of his short life, and he's savoring the plenty for as long as it will last.

Established Relationships ▶ N/A
