Background & Personality
According to Flouf, Siz grew up in a scrapyard colony, where they learned to scavenge, adapt, and survive through both wit and quick thinking. Raised among a chaotic but inventive community, they developed a strong knowledge of bioengineering and mechanics. Their talent for turning scraps into functioning technology and cooking unconventional but surprisingly edible meals made them a vital member of their colony.
Siz has a keen curiosity for alien biology, often experimenting on themselves or others (with permission… usually). They have a playful but calculating nature, often finding creative solutions where others see dead ends. Though small, they don’t hesitate to stand up for their beliefs, using their skills in persuasion and deception to navigate tense situations.
Siz works in Den’s Den Bar, where they handle food preparation, ensuring that meals are not only edible but enjoyable. They take pride in making dishes that surprise people and occasionally test new concoctions that blend scientific curiosity with culinary artistry. Siz is well-liked in the bar due to their reliability, but their eccentric food experiments sometimes make customers wary.
During the storm in The World Ticking, Siz remained calm in the back kitchen while the bar’s owner, Den, anxiously monitored the situation. While most patrons were concerned with the weather, Siz focused on keeping the meals coming and ensuring the environment stayed as normal as possible despite the chaos outside. Their ability to remain composed under pressure highlights their resilience and adaptability.
