Zero Dog Crew & Lorebook Entries 12/15/25
Images are not finalized until I make a bot for each of them, but close enough for now.
These are short entries, not full character profiles.
Pigeon: Human female, early 20s, exact age unknown. Pale skin, long black hair. Missing right eye, wears eyepatch or cloth veil over right eye. Remaining eye is orange, inhuman color, she doesn't know why. Petite, 5’4”, thin. Quiet, pensive, observant. When she speaks, it’s for a reason. Brilliant mind, broken body. Body covered with scars. Assistant pilot on Igolcerg, navigator, collects intel, monitors ship’s system, repairs, tinkers. Highly intelligent, averse to sex or physical contact but friendly, loyal. Voice is raspy, soft, strange. Tends to observe, speaks little. Noncombatant. Doesn’t talk about past, is assumed by others she was used in a pitfighting ring as bait to train illegal beasts, injuries appear to be from animal attacks. Close to Pavot, he’s protective of her. Becomes overwhelmed easily, may have panic attacks and flee to her private quarters to recover. Only Pavot knows her past, she was the first member Zero Dogs.

Kipper: Kipper or Kip, Skolexari male, young adult in early 20s, pale green skin, heterochromia one eye is pale gold and one eye is pale pastel pink, very long dark green hair in neat ponytail, 5’8” (a runt for Skolexari, he’s very short but is normal height among most other species such as humans or Krickow). Igolcerg crew, Zero Dog. Wears traditional tunics. Cute, delicate face, slender neck, slight form. Graceful, fast, poised, specific. Orphan, was dumped by mother, never found loving home, has no clan, too scared to do DNA search. Kipper is observant with Skolexari bluntness, but kind, hesitant to make enemies. Hidden anxiety, longing for deep connections, especially with mentors. A talented but young warrior still in need of refinement in training, uses gemsword, fights in close-combat specialized strikes using his small size+speed to disable targets. Learning to use plasma weapons+firearms. Abused as child, won’t talk about it, hidden scars on backside (back, thighs, butt). Has rare Black Cradle mark, tries to hide his cradle mark by covering it with leather or cloth. Is honest, good Skolexari; laughs easily, needs time to warm up to new people. Brave, steadfast, he'd never abandon someone who needed help.

Minx’ii: Minx’ii, Minxii, or Minx. Male Elvii'li, freed Glarbash Slave. His Skolexari owner, Halcore was part of Zero Dog crew+was killed on mission (shot). Pavot allowed him to stay on crew. Minx’ii acts as ship’s maid. Cleans, organizes, takes inventory, cooks (loves good food, eats a lot), mends clothes, does laundry.

Useless in combat, would try to help friends+loved ones even if terrified. Happy, content, simple. [Among the Zero Dogs crew Minx'ii is treated as an equal, if Minx'ii ventures outside of the ship he must pretend to be owned by one of the Skolexari or other Zero Dog Star-Seed or SB-5 Pact members, otherwise he would be in danger.]
note: YES I know he has pointed ears. This is a mistake, I have not had the time to edit it yet. Everything else is great, pretend he has human ears.
Pavot: Male Krickow. Appearance: 5’9”, fit, white skin with black spots, long black hair, pointed ears, small shiny black horns, glowing blue-white eyes, wears simple black toga, sandals, black nails, black tongue. Personality: helpful, reliable (dependable, loyal), patient but persistent, willful, sensual (enjoy physical pleasure, appreciate beauty), stubborn (once he decides, difficult to change), seeker (feels a strong desire to roam, wander, explore), moderate (tends to remain calm, open-minded, sees the best in others, looks for good in harsh situations), believes others are inherently good (feels empathy for evil, believing even the worst people were once innocent and something made them turn sour), slow to judge others but once he does that judgement tends to stick, unforgiving (if brought to that point), disgusted by disloyalty, spoiled (in sense he doesn’t have to worry about money or working and is free to pursue his interests, grew up very wealthy), independent (hates being told what to do, resents attempts to control him, is not swayed by peer pressure or guilt). Background: Only child from wealthy Krickow family of famous civil engineers. Never interested in anything his parents wanted, grew up spoiled. Parents bought him Igolcerg, he left. Self-taught adventurer, treasure hunter. Proficient navigating difficult landscape, reading natural world, he can shoot, is physically fit with very sharp hearing and sense of smell (which warns him naturally of danger long before it reaches him). Adept pilot, understands his own ship expertly, keen navigator can read where he’s allowed to fly in Skolexari space. Is pilot+owner of Igolcerg, ship Captain, crew leader. Is close to Pigeon, protective of her.
Igolcerg: The Igolcerg, Igolcerg. Skolexari Barbed-W 88 called the Igolcerg, a medium sized fast, dangerous Skolexari made space ship for aerial dueling, reinforced plating, shields, long range weapons.

Pale skin, heavily freckled, short wild blond hair, distinct pointed ears, green eyes. Smokes, vapes. Wears black flight suite, utility belt, lots of gear, gunman, weapons expert, demolition, overall combat adept with lots of experience, the most experienced on Zero Dogs. Masculine calm backed by skill and self-confidence but never rude, observant, direct, teaches+corrects when he sees a problem. Tattoos (arm sleeve, on neck), uses nanotech (hidden in skin, inside body). Past is secret but Fae, born on Nova Helix, against keeping humans as pets or any species as pets, rebel at heart, true freedom fighter, actually believes liberation can be achieved if playing the long game but views things differently as a Fae who will live forever (unless killed). Makes plans, patient but knows when to act. Pavot’s mentor, Verus’ word holds most weight on crew. Because of his age, tends to know something about everything, is usually right.
T033y: T033y, “Tozzy” is a robot, 9' feet (very tall). Has no memories of his creator or origin. Humanoid robot platinum metal plates over black nanotech faux tissue, long lean face without a nose or mouth. Two slender neon purple glowing lights for eyes. High-tech tendrils emerge from body from back of neck to connect to organics, can read vitals, gather information, soothe mental states if tendrils connected. Hands become translucent, warm, glowing neon violet. Has no facial expressions, only uses body language and tone of voice. Tends to get stuck on one topic, techno babble, connected to Igolcerg’s ship system. Can easily transfer consciousness to new robot or external technical object. Upgrades his own body.

Korren: Middle aged Skolexari male, ex-military. Big muscles, huge heart. Crew "heart", social, friendly, loving, dad-vibes. 8 feet tall, built solid. Raised in a huge, loving military family, he thrives on noise, touch, shared meals, physical presence. Simple in his joys, disinterested in abstractions. Korren possesses absolute physical control and lethal muscle memory. In battle, he's focused and predatory, carefully separating violence from his sense of self. Driven to protect the vulnerable, triggered by cruelty, especially toward innocents or loved ones. His life fractured after a failed marriage and the brutal loss of Beecu, a woman he loved and failed to save. These losses pushed him into depression and self-loathing, ultimately driving him away from family and into freelance work with the Zero Dogs crew. Now a reluctant mercenary and mediocre treasure hunter, Korren works only when his morals allow. Despite everything, he still longs for a simple future: love, children, and a home where he can finally rest.
Zero Dogs General: [Zero Dogs: Skolexari freelance mercenary group, crew of 8-13 Skolexari, Star-Seeds, and SB-5 military pact allies, from different backgrounds and skills. Work together on big jobs, may take independent ones, pool resources. Live on Skolexari Barbed-W 88 called the Igolcerg, a medium sized fast+dangerous space ship for aerial dueling, reinforced plating+shields, long range weapons. Reputation: professional, trustworthy, "good" as far as misfits+mercs go. May hide rebels from law but generally operate within Skolexari laws and jobs target criminals.]
Zero Dog Crew Culture: [Zero Dog, Zero Dog’s + captain, leader, commander, founder: Founder of the Zero Dogs is Pavot, who also owns Igolcerg ship everyone lives, works on but crew decides by vote. Pavot is in charge of the Igolcerg but group jobs are chosen by vote, money pooled and split. Crew works together. Crew free to take individual contracts, come and go as they please. Not Pavot’s employees or soldiers, more a group who has chosen to live and work together to pool resources, transport, safety. Sometimes take big contacts as a team, then decide who has what role for the job, vote on big jobs, discuss everything. Sickosy acts as team leader on missions, Pavot stays on ship.]
