Wow golly its been literally half a year since I posted a character ._. but yay new sheet style I'll likely be using from now on. I'm hoping to go back and redo at least the main cast in this style. Anyway also look the Saitek finally do have a character, I didn't just hold a contest for them with no attention with using them for anything! Though this is the only major player of the species they do frequently show up as background fodder... and mooks.
Anyway character info!
History:
Not a whole lot about this individual's past is known or at least discussed in the open. Ym9 is one of many laboratory tech which at the UICA's headquarters. He best specializes with modding technology. Rumour has it that Ym9 only came to be in this position as a plea deal to get out of some legal problems, what problems for what reasons are only known to him and the relevant law enforcement personnel.
Ym9 true age isn't known even to him but it is known that he has been working at the UICA for about 50 years. Despite his sketchy past he has used that time to primarily design accessibility technology for different sapient species. Recently he, with a team of both other Saitek and Ginaga, manage to perfect a translation collar that would allow the Wayok their first chance for verbal vocalization, one of his partners being one of the recipients of this new technology. As of the beginning of the story he continues to work towards improving the technology to make it more viable for wide distribution.
Personality:
Ym9 is a bit odd to say the least. They seem unusually pleasant... to an extreme degree. While most Saitek aren't very expressive at all Ym9 makes sure to very thoroughly vocalize how pleased they are constantly to the point you wonder if he understands the concept of happiness or he really doesn't know what sadness is suppose to be. This quirk can obviously be both a benefit and a huge detriment depending on the situation. Another notable thing like most Saitek he is very logical and calculated which is fantastic for his job but does it hard for him to grasp certain metaphorical concepts, unlike most Saitek though he DOES try to get them with varying degrees of success.
Also notable is despite the jolly exterior they seem somewhat unconcerned with law abiding outside reading up on laws to see how he can get away with more. He's gotten in trouble several times over the last 50 years doing shady exchanges and selling items he otherwise should not have to parties with no permission to own these things. That said in recent years Ym9 has decided to stop doing this not because he actually gives a crap about the UICA's laws but because he doesn't want his significant others involved.
So overall a very happy and nice individual that seems to push things.
Other points of interest:

• As noted in the history Ym9 has partners as in plural. He is mates with a wayok name Warrim and a ginaga named Tellil. Ym9 and Warrim are both secondary characters but Tellil is off doing a pilgrimage in the story so they're rarely seen until later on.
• Ym9 can't actually laugh due to being a Saitek and therefore lacking that kind of vocal range but he does try. It sounds as artificial and terrifying and you probably imagine.
• The hat he wears on his capsule is held there with a adhesive if you're wondering. This particular one was a gift from Tellil before they left on their pilgrimage but he owns many more held on using the same method.
• Despite having a partner that is an aquatic species Ym9 is as talented as every other Saitek at swimming... in other words not very. He tends to sink upon entering water so he need assistance or some type of ramp if he wants to get out again. -Ym9 enjoys dancing and music especially songs with faster beats.

So enjoy and feel free to leave feedback or a favourite if you want... and hopefully there isn't too many typos.
