No nut in the Universe is safe from him!"

Walnut's Matteregg was left in a space ship. His parents (a whole crew of loving Nomads) fully intended to return for him - but were met with...less then alive capabilities. His Matteregg was left in front of a screen set to go through several kinds of teachings (talking, reading, writing, cooking, etc.) - the films were meant to supplement, to fill in gaps between what parents would forget. Instead his Matteregg was subjected to listening to the broken reruns of the cooking video over, and over, and over...When he finally hatched (perhaps a bit too early) his paws slammed into the screen and turned the channel off. And when the silence reigned he realized...

He was Alone. 

Raising yourself in the middle of space is no easy feat, but Walnut managed (he named himself). The ship had plenty of food stocked, and he surely knew how to cook. He had taken a particular shining to all the different nuts aboard the ship and had an...extreme affinity for the walnuts. He took the largest of them, and had gotten in the habit of carrying it around and speaking to it - he named the walnut, Walnut. He spent many years in space, alone, cooking and talking to Walnut. Over the time his Matteregg had been maturing the ship had undergone some unfortunate meteorite accidents rendering the engines useless, which led to aimless wandering, eating and wondering where everyone could possibly be. Spending the majority of your lifespan stuck out in space will turn any respectable sentient creature a little mad, and unfortunately by the time some friendly space goers had found his crippled spacecraft and got him back to civilization the damage of his isolation had been done. 

Walnut is a well-meaning individual, but he's easily spooked by loud noises and doesn't like anyone getting too close to his personal space. Do not, under any circumstances, touch his Walnut. He enjoys cooking, and sharing his knowledge of cooking, but somehow the concept of sharing his actual food is lost on him - so take from his plate at your own peril. As his name would suggest he is...very passionate about nuts (all nuts, really) and sometimes cannot contain his need to feed whenever they are presented to him (he will make an honest effort to try to cook with them first but his first reaction is going to shove them into his mouth and run away). 

After obtaining a ship from the kind travelers who rescued him - Walnut has decided to scour the vast expanses of space for anyone else that might be lost or in trouble - and while he's at it, he's going to make a comprehensive Cook Book of many...unique dishes. 

Trivia: 

- Don't make loud noises or he'll screech like a wounded bird and throw something at you. 

- Something is always moving; a tail twitch, a paw tap..he has a hard time sitting still. 

- He names everything he really likes Walnut (his ship, his lucky walnut..Everything). 

- He has a hard time trusting; but that never stops him from trying to meet new creatures. 

- Despite his ability to literally never be alone if he doesn't want to be, he spends a lot of time holed up and away from others: even though all he wants is to have at least one good, close, friend. 

- If he ever says no to food something is wrong.

- If he ever says no to nuts, something is very wrong.

[ Possessions ] 

One Lucky Walnut ( a slightly above average sized walnut he carries with him, always )

One Falchion - a gift from one of the travelers who rescued him ( often used to prepare food rather then defend himself with )

A set of keys to a walnut-shaped spacecraft; lovingly referred to as "The S.S Walnut" ( which, of course, stands for 'Space Ship Walnut' )
