[spoiler=info on boi]
Zadda Tskdre, but is often shortened to "Zad"
Zadda Tskdre is basically alien-speak for Little shark
stands at around 5'2
technically, hes near 250 years old, but to humans, he's basically 25ish. (10 alien years = 1 human year)
really enjoys human foods like pasta and noodles, is completely obsessed with shrimp ramen. He's also really fascinated by human literature/written languages, but he cant actually read it. some human's see him quite often, as he wanders from his group to study them from afar, but he's no good at stealth, so they see him.
He's one of the more docile aliens, and tends to be more gentle with humans, though this is quickly changed if you play dubstep around him, or anything with a very heavy bass.

[spoiler=stuff about the aliens i guess]The aliens come from a planet a lot like earth, though their plant is 95% water, making them amphibious but more comfortable in water.
Theres two species of intelligent aliens, the Aquasedes, and the Terrasedes. Aquasedes obviously being the water dwellers and Terrasedes being the land dwellers. however, there is a more uncommon section called the Nixsedes, or snow dwellers.
both species have smaller differences, where as aqua's are more blues and blacks, more tribal and have smaller ears, where as terra's are greens and browns, have very large and decorated ears, and tend to seem more 'civilized'. the nix are found more in the northern regions and have pure white scales and eyes, and can not survive in anything hotter than 0 degrees farenheight. all of them have both gills and lungs so that they may survive on land and in water, though aqua's must stay hydrated and keep themselves slightly wet or they will either become injured or posssibly just die.
each section has an ambassador, the aqua's being Maly Toh (basically whale), the terra's being pangej (literally just tree), and the nix's being ophel nytsk (large storm).
When they arrived on earth, they at first worked with the government to make translation implants so they could speak among each other, only for the government to try and take control of them, resulting in the aliens rebelling and killing nearly 70% of the human race, with the aliens only suffering 60% loss.
most aliens live for at least 1200 years[/spoiler]
[spoiler=info on current world]its been nearly 300 years since the rebellion and tensions are still extremely high, as most aliens who were around for the rebellion are still alive. the aliens are ruled by a queen, Fyjall Udrtsk (holy / sacred one), who also happens to be zadda's mother. there is constant fighting amongst the aliens and humans, and while energy weapons are a thing, they are hard to come by for humans, giving aliens a massive advantage. human's are very short on resources, as are aliens as their crops wont grow on earth, and the aliens plants are contaminating soil and spreading disease through the earth plants (except trees). There are solar powered vehicles, mostly bikes as their cheapest. most humans are paid in 'chips' which have three tiers: bronze, platinum, and gold, rarely diamond. bronze is the least useful and are the equivelent to a nickle, platinum is worth around 1$, and gold being worth around 10$, with diamond being worth nearly 100$.[/spoiler]

Zad, as usual, had wandered from the massive lake that they had made their home and through the city that rest in a clearing past a forest. he had climbed over the wall that seperated the two territories and snuck through the meadow that sat next to a stretching road with abandoned cars lining it. he could hear the distant 'zzz' of one of the hover bikes that those human's had. he quietly hid behind a car, crouching and gripping the riusted metal with his webbed fingers as he watched the human come to a stop and take off his bike helmet to hang on his bike handle. dark eyes widened as he watched, filled with awe and wonder as he watched the man get along e=with his business. he was probably one of those 'scavengers' that always came looking through old cars, considering he had no visible weapons. tilting his head, the tiny little tendrils flopped to one side of his head, a soft, curious little 'ssskk' noise coming from his gills, which he quickly covered and ducked his head in hopes of not being found.
