Bravo Fleet
Summary
Commander Zyrrkathorandaraxiluunth Byrrynathalorim, known to most as “Franz“, serves as the Chief Operations Officer aboard the USS Io. A highly analytical and enigmatic Lumithorian, Franz is known for his precision, strategic insight, and ability to process vast amounts of data in real time. His alien physiology and unreadable demeanor make him a mysterious but invaluable member of the senior staff.
Appearance
Franz is tall and thin, with mottled gray-blue skin stretched taut over elongated limbs. His most striking features are his large, black, unblinking eyes that reflect ambient light but reveal little emotion. His face lacks the typical muscular expressiveness of humanoids, giving him a perpetually neutral or unreadable expression. His movements are fluid but slightly asynchronous, with a gait that seems both graceful and alien. His voice is gravelly and deliberate, often delivered with a calm that borders on eerie. His uniform is always pristine, and he carries himself with quiet authority, often standing perfectly still when not engaged.
Personality
Franz is methodical, reserved, and deeply logical. He rarely expresses emotion in ways familiar to most humanoids, which can make interactions with him feel distant or unsettling. Despite this, he is deeply loyal to his crew and mission. He values efficiency, clarity, and precision, and often speaks in concise, data-driven terms. His alien perspective allows him to approach problems from angles others might miss, making him a key contributor in both tactical and diplomatic scenarios.
Franz is not one for small talk, preferring silence or direct communication. He has a dry, understated sense of humor that occasionally surfaces, often catching others off guard. While he may seem aloof, he is observant and empathetic in his own way, often noticing emotional shifts in others before they do themselves. His loyalty is unwavering, and he holds a quiet respect for those who demonstrate competence and integrity.
