Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Veqthar is curious and earnest, with a quiet intensity that sometimes makes others think he’s judging them when he’s really just processing details. He has a habit of double-checking his data even when it’s unnecessary, a byproduct of both Benzite perfectionism and his own youthful need to prove himself. While socially a little stiff, he softens when talking about his work, often slipping into enthusiastic monologues about minor discoveries. |

|
| Ambitions | Veqthar wants to make a discovery that endures. Not fame or glory, but to leave behind some data point, classifications, or theory that adds something to the fabric of scientific knowledge. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | -Crystalline micro-gardening: He "grows" tiny crystalline structures in nutrient baths, adjusting temperature and mineral content to see how they branch. He treats it like someone else might tend bonsai. -Collects/documents micro-flora: He collects scans of minor, overlooked organisms--spores, plankton, extremopiles--and writes little "biographies" of them, convinced every lifeform deserves a record. Currently his collection numbers in the hundreds. -Board games: Enjoys puzzles and games with endless permutations such as chess or "Go", often proposing unusual rulesets and then becoming frustrated when no one else wants to play them. |
