a lost mechanic who ended up on a mysterious planet that had been abandoned by humanity. Quite frankly, they think that all this drama is too much to handle. He'd rather fix some electrical panels to ignore it all instead, and so he does.

likes

getting to goof off, machinery

dislikes

people who won't loosen up

A silly fellow who's been through a lot.

They love to have fun with people in whatever way possible, and at the same time they love to lose themself in some sort of repair project. Being cooped up in a research vessel with the same 6 other guys that keeps breaking down makes for the perfect challenge!

history
I. in the past
This guy used to be a mechanic for a space research agency.
In space, he knew most of the cast of this story with a few exceptions, and was quite close with the older members of it. Their tenure in the mechanics sector has stained their skin gray and given them a good deal of scars.
II. the present
One day when chasing down a pair of thiefs from his workstation, Bora hopped into a ship which he only vaguely knew how to control and ended up on a little planet that was deemed off limits years prior. To their surprise, there was a small population of people living there, most of which they knew. He decided to stay there.
III. the future
Over the course of the story, Bora witnesses the social state of the folks at the research base go from bad to worse and he isn't really involved in any of it and would prefer to stay out of it.
Then what happens? I haven't thought that far.
miscellaneous

trivia
  • years of working with metal dust flying everywhere has given him argyria, which is to mean his skin is full of silver.
  • he refuses to wear any other prosthetics than running blades, even though much more advanced prosthetics are available at the time in which this story takes place.
    • they also wear a back brace to counteract any effects of this.
  • he's got sensitive eyes so he wears a pair of goggles all the time.

  • skin is riddled with minor scars.
  • white suit instead of the classic orange

relationships
rainbow

loosen up a bit!

Bora and Rainbow knew one another from work, and were pretty chill. Coming to the research base on the mining planet, they've found that Rainbow's gotten, somehow, even more callous and hard to deal with. They like to bust their chops.
beril

buds

Bora was at one point a trainer for new pilots, and got Beril on their way in the trade. The two are good friends.
psilo

buds

Psilo and Bora are good friends and they're glad to see someone from their original batch of employees around the base. The two struggle to find their place in the various interpersonal conflicts that are taking place on the base.
