#mantrin

Rochard in particular is an anomaly among his kind, having gravitated towards a dry, sandy desert region of his home world. With the extra bulk (thus insulation) afforded to his race, he's rarely seen in anything more than cargo shorts and a vest. (Though admittedly, he does like to show off his big, round belly.) Rochard has near encyclopedic knowledge on mechanical parts, and can fix or jury rig almost anything when given the right tools and parts. He also knows about an awful lot about military tech and equipment that a civilian really shouldn't have access to...

The home world of his kin is the a habitable moon of a gas giant. Though it teems with life, the strong radiation has made computers more advanced than what would be equivalent to real world 1990's tech very difficult to make, the civilization in question having to min-max into analogue alternatives. (This also means Magnarhul Mantrin are quite radiation resistant, being able to ignore does levels that would be fatal long term to most other species) Thus most tech is equivalent to our world's 70-90's era in capabilities, if better refined by virtue of longer iteration time to develop those technologies.
