Name: Tasserick Runner

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Nickname: Tas

Allegiance: Rogue Bounty Hunter

Likes: Money, making trouble for the federation, Silence while thinking, Small cute fuzzy creatures (even dangerous ones given his strength)

Dislikes: The federation, Space pirates, not being able to remember things clearly

Personality: He is mathematically and logically intelligent, although his emotions can often override this. He is a loner with a dislike of both the federation and space pirates (due to both his human memories, and some of Ridley's implanted via DNA memory), preferring to function on his own. He inherits Ridley's more intense memories of Samus, finding her both frightening, intriguing, and envious of her strength all at once. Due to his somewhat fragmented mix of memories he can be bound to fits of confusion on occasion.

Origin:
Originally a human of unknown name he was injured in a space pirate attack on his mining colony home at around the age of 22. The Galactic Federation had, unbeknownst to the colony, been using medical treatment facilities as a way to scan for possible candidates for future experiments regarding Ridley'y DNA's semi-viral healing nature. This made the attack on the colony all the more lucrative for the Federation's purposes. Being one of the few to receive injuries bad enough to be considered absolutely fatal while being at all compatible, Tasserick was quickly shuffled to the morgue for deportation, and bypassed normal life saving treatments.

Essentially ensuring his death from his injuries. Regardless, he was revived from the experimental treatments as the cells, modified to enhance their viral healing nature, assimilated and changed his own cells. Due to lacking full compatibility, his form lacks any form of full assimilation, and thus leads to keeping his fur throughout his growth. His evolution and eroding of his memories was prevented through the use of a collar meant to keep the viral nature of his new cells in check. This collar was also used as a means to coerce him to follow Federation orders, or loose himself. After a lengthy amount of abuse, being treated subhumanly, he snapped.

No longer caring about his human past or his memories if it meant this torture he tore the collar off, escaping after purposefully botching an attack on a space pirate convoy. He now works on his own taking lesser accepted bounties, although he takes much pride in taking those involving the federation which are rarely taken. This has lead to a hefty bounty on his own head in addition to the initial bounty from the botched strike against the pirates.

He is sometimes bound to fits of confusion or rage as his cellular structure slowly continues to change. DNA memory from Ridley occasionally overriding his own, or appearing to him as "visions" as memories of his own death and pieces of his previous life continue to haunt him.
