Mik, a Ysel scrapper, eager to show off his wares to perspective buyers.

I designed Mik as a possible alternate fursona in 2021, with the intent of him being some sort of scrap/junk dealer, selling various ships and weapons and whatever parts and abandoned cargo he can pull from derelict starships and the debris fields from shipwrecks.

I have yet to decide if he operates his junk trading business out of something more stationary, like an abandoned asteroid mining colony or space station, or if he'd operate out of a large, beat-up cargo ship or starfighter carrier--or if I should split the difference and have him have both his "space tow truck" and his "space scrapyard", which is a direction I am leaning toward more and more as time goes on despite my wanting to keep his crew size very limited. Maybe the majority of his workforce can be old droids, drones and automechs he's salvaged and repaired over the years...

It seems a lot of my "possible alternate fursona" types wind up having serious "shopkeeper" energy--were Mik an NPC in a video game, he'd be the guy with a rotating selection of fixer-upper ships, upgrade parts for vehicles and weapons and equipment, various cheap junk, and a random assortment of other useful items, sometimes at a steep discount from what they'd sell for in more "reputable" shops... not to mention he'd probably have parts and weapons that said reputable shops wouldn't carry for various reasons.
