Fark Zyxlbrac

<-- Back to Characters

Fark Zyxlbrac is the engineer of the starship Free Spirit. He is a Nabïïk from the planet Rygyl.

Fark is an expert on almost any piece of technology hardware, and has been known to fix the fusion stellarators with merely a balloon, a road sign, and a spare servomotor. He lives in the engine room of the Free Spirit and is entirely dedicated to his work (keeping the ship running, or at least intact).

Personality
Though Fark can first seem kind of laid-back, he is quite agile and fast; not to mention irritable, emotionally unstable, and somewhat obsessive. He has practically no calm, and given an emotional stimulus he switches from one emotional extreme to another in milliseconds (though his default setting is annoyed ). Although dependable in technical matters, Fark gets flustered easily when out of his element and tends to perform a metaphorical acrobatic pirouette off the handle at the slightest provocation.

Fark is a bit selfish as well and is very possessive of the reactors that power the ship, and regularly argues with Zak about whose ship it actually is as both of them consider the Free Spirit their "baby". Nevertheless, Fark is good at heart and a trusted and valued member of the crew.

Fark is outright erophobic and amorophobic. This is because his work is his life. He severely dislikes distractions from his work, and explains that though he is a bifocal sapient, he cannot nor does he want to devote much of his time and attention to anyone or anything else. Among other reasons, Fark cites the fact that males of his species carry and care for the young, which would disrupt his life to the ultimate and put him in a parental position that he does not desire whatsoever.
