"I don't care about your hacked vending machine, the engines on fire, there's plasma in the halls, and meteors are striking the station." -Benny
Name: Benny Moff
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Race: "Mothfolk"
Alliegence: Galactic British Empire (@KrankysFirebrand48)
Profile:
A moth-person merchant, purchasing and selling goods around the galaxy. He's rather hardy and formal, and well versed in human culture. In fact, he could easily be mistaken for a human until he is seen first-hand.
Biodata
Benny stands as tall as a human, but certainly stands out amongst humans. His whole body is covered in brown fuzz, as well as a thick layer of fuzz around his neck, which obscures his mouth. His face has a pair of black eyes, looking like smooth dark spheres. Atop his head are a pair of fuzz-covered moth antenna, protruding out in either direction.
His back has a pair of sturdy moth wings stretching to the floor, covered in fuzz. Although not sturdy enough to let him fly, they can pick up dust when he flutters them. His arms are equally as sturdy, and topped with some blunt claws for fingers.
Aside his race, he is fairly unremarkable, with most of his features hidden by moth fuzz.

"THAT'S MY FUCKING LANTERN!!" -Benny
Old Moff Family Lantern
The one thing Benny has to remind him of his home planet, an ancient, cast-iron metal lantern, surrounded by glass windows. Instead of electricity, this lantern burns oil as a means of making a weak form of light. The old design isn't all too effective, but it can occasionally prove it's value. Benny claims it has some religious significance.
Modifications:
None
Guitar
A genuine wooden guitar with nylon strings. Benny learnt to play it a long time ago, and has taken it with him ever since, playing many of the human songs he had been taught in college, some he made himself, and some from new places across the vast galaxy.

Backstory:
"A fuck." - Benny
Benny's youth was spent on a tribal planet of moth-like humanoids, which had only recently come into contact with spacers. Upon hearing about the journeys of spacers, Benny furiously worked to escape the grips of such an archaic lifestyle, to soar amongst the stars.
After graduating a human-run xeno college with a bachelors in engineering, Benny found work aboard a medium freighter soaring through rim colonies and the edges of the galaxy. It wasn't easy work, but with a crew of 4 and a hold of goods in the thinnest areas of space, it wasn't uncommon to be raided for the goods the ship held. He got handy with a rifle as much as he was with a wrench.
Benny eventually settled down for a while aboard a space station with abysmal safety protocols, working as an engineer. Eventually he decided to leave again, purchasing a new freighter to once more venture the depths of space.
