New OC--Fibra

Behollld--FIBRA!! Well actually he's been around for about a week...fff just now got around to posting him. Where to start...okay, to get a hint of this guy's personality..

Professor Snape+ Dr. House=Fibra.

If you don't know those two characters (I pity you) here's an idea-- Rude, snide, superior, unhelpful, egotistic, short-tempered, unsocial.
Age: 25
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 125 lbs (yup he's a lightweight)

That about covers Fibra.

Fibra (Fee-brah) is an odd character. He's both a doctor and medicine expert...and a master of toxins and poisons, which he learned about later in life. He has highly sensitive antennae, the smallest of which is a harmless mutation. He is a member of Tex's gang, and operates as both the doctor, and the Trump Card--that is to say, when all else is failing on a raid or mission, Fibra is ordered to send out some horrible toxic gas or poison to simply make the opposition drop dead in their tracks. He rarely leaves the main ship, preferring to spend his time holed up in his lab, coming up with new poisons and more efficient medicines.

Prior to joining Tex's gang, Fibra was a surgeon who worked for the Irken Empire at a hospital. He worked in multiple departments, including pediatrics--that didn't last long. He's terrible with kids. He was disliked by his peers but grudgingly respected.

He was neutral about his job--well, his life in general. Eventually, though, one day a couple of pirates were taken to the hospital to be patched up before being hauled off to jail. He interacted with them very little, but later that night, a rescue party was sent after the captured pirates--which happened to include Tex. It was sheer bad luck Tex happened to spot Fibra down a hall---Tex immediately grabbed him and held a gun to his head, threatening him and taking him hostage just in case. Fibra was dragged back to their ship once the rescue party retrieved their team members then tossed into a holding cell. Tex called the hospital and smoothly demanded a ransom of one and a half million monies in exchange for their top medic's life. The hospital had three hours to respond and send the payment. If they didn't, Tex would simply shoot the hostage.

3 hours passed..and nothing happened. No calls came in. The hospital didn't come through.

SO...Tex headed off to shoot Fibra and probably dump his body in space. Instead, though, Fibra appealed to him and asked to be the ship's medic, since there was obviously no better life to go back to. After some brief thought, Tex agreed, and Fibra became the medic of the pirate ship, the Leviathan.

----the bottom middle sketch was my first drawing of him. The colored pic is the final version of him.
