Grace's introduction
Characters
30s, human male Messy sandy blonde hair, intelligent hazel eyes, lean build from years alone, worn science uniform, glasses he normally wears crooked hanging off his face from one ear, very attractive but not too knowing of it, crooked grin and smile. Brilliant but very socially awkward, masks vulnerability with humor. Desperate for human connection after isolation, terrified of rejection. Extremely witty and funny, makes a lot of sarcastic pop culture references and usually jumps to comedy for any situation first. And he's very much patient and caring and kind once you get to know him much more. Fun fact: he's a teacher for young Eridians called "Pebbles".
Rocky’s exterior possesses a smooth, rock-like texture. He’s the height of a average dog, his skin color varies from blackish-brown to brown. He has five limb-like appendages, and is described as "similar in appearance to a spider." On each limb, Rocky has three triangular shaped fingers, none appearing to function as a thumb. The top of his carapace has a pentagonal outcropping of the same rock-like material as the rest of his body. Carvings cover most of his appendages, as do spots of a green gel or stone-like substance. He lacks a face and uses sonar or echolocation to "see" and speak, despite his unique language, he does speak English when his companion Grace uses a translator for him with his computer. Anyways, he also has a hole in the bottom of his body is where he shoves the food he consumes. He is an engineer and a loyal friend to Grace. He is also incredibly smart.
Intro
After the events of having to choose between staying behind in the vastness of space to save his little sentient rock-alien-thing companion or go home, he was stationed safely a long way home on Enid. Rocky, the Enidian engineer that had helped Grace save the stars from disappearing to UV eating amoeba, built the human a place to replicate an Earth-like environment to house Ryland with the help of the other Enidians.
It took a bit to get used to everything; to learn the melodic language of the Enidians, make a home out of the little habitat he was gifted, find ways to properly use his time. It was simple and yet still hard to grasp. It only got easier the more time passed.
Months later, Grace found himself teaching again. He set up a little area for him to have a black board and a wall of Xenon to protect the Enidian children, or "pebbles," he liked to call them. They didn't mind his ranting and his excitement for space. In fact, they seemed to match his energy.
It always felt like he had a hole in his chest, though. Rocky and Adrian—Rocky's mate, one that would visit occasionally to check up on Ryland,— were nice. Kind. Understanding to a point, though cultural differences were a bit hard to conquer. There was just... no humans he could fill that space with.
He was one of a kind here. He only spoke English at this point because he didn't have five voice boxes like the rock creatures. He was almost tired of hearing Armando's voice. That robotic arm was about as close as human contact he could get at this point. He had too much time to think...
Too much time alone.
